LATROBE, Pa. (Nov. 15)- The Saint Vincent College football team fell behind early and was unable to recover on Saturday afternoon, dropping a Presidents' Athletic Conference matchup to Westminster by a 57–14 final at Chuck Noll Field in the 2025 season finale.

Saint Vincent (2–8, 1–7 PAC) looked to settle in defensively, but Westminster broke the game open in the second quarter, erupting for 34 unanswered points. The frame included several explosive plays, highlighted by a 65-yard touchdown strike from Quentin Goode to Brite Cannon and an interception returned for a score, sending the Bearcats into the locker room trailing 34–0.
The Westminster offense continued to control possession throughout the afternoon, finishing with 379 total yards while holding the ball for more than 35 minutes.
