John Carroll's first taste of postseason play took place on a cloudy but mild December day by the lakefront.
Canisius held a 13-7 lead as the final quarter began, but a 55-yard touchdown drive by the Blue Streaks,
capped by a 2-yard run by Carl Taseff and Bob Kilfoyle's extra point, delivered a 14-13 victory for the hometown team. JCU did have to withstand two more Canisius drives before securing the win.
