' ? , C '' Sacred Heart University Sports PIONEERS Football loses frustrating opener

By Antoine Scott Sports Writer

The Sacred Heart Football team began their season on a high note, scoring on the first play in the first game of the season, a 57-yard run by tailback John Wells. After the Sacred Heart defense shut down the Redmen of St. John’s Univer­ sity in three plays, John Analazone kicked a 27-yard field goal that put the Pioneers up 10-0 with nine minutes left in the first quarter. Unfortunately, that would be the end of the offense for some time. Blown assignments, missed tackles and missed coverage were plentiful in the game all day by the Pioneer defense. The defense that was called “bend but don’t break,” broke down and was not able to recover. “We just didn’t do our Jobs, and everyone must do their jobs in order for us to win,” said defensive end Michael Matkovic. The Pioneer offense was not any better. Quarterback Joe Mar­ tin spent most of the passing plays evading defenders, and on the Football coach Gary Reho had a few strong thoughts of his own to running plays gained minimal Sacred Heart tries to hold back St. John's, but an unsuccessful share with the team after Saturday's home opener loss. yards.
