Box Score Combining its most balanced offense attack with its stingiest defensive effort to date, John Carroll won its first game at Wilmington College since 2005 by knocking off the host Quakers, 44-7, Saturday afternoon at Williams Field.

Box Score

With its smallest gap between rushing (271) and passing (210) yardage thus far in 2011, the Blue Streaks built a 14-0 lead and never looked back in rolling to its third consecutive Ohio Athletic Conference victory.

The John Carroll defense set the tone early, forcing a three-and-out on the first possession of the game. The Blue Streak offense responded with a 10-play, 47-yard touchdown drive capped by a Devin O'Brien two-yard run.

Emmett Lydon forced a fumble that Ryan Winchell recovered on the next Quaker possession, setting up what looked to be another scoring drive. But O'Brien was picked off in the end zone to halt that threat.

It would be a momentary respite. John Carroll would score points on seven of its next eight drives.

In the second quarter alone, Domonic De La Riva scored his first collegiate touchdown on a four-yard run, O'Brien scored his second touchdown of the day on a one-yard plunge, and with 14 ticks left on the clock, Joe Quinzio hauled in a 22-yard pass from O'Brien for his first touchdown as a Blue Streak.

The Streaks would take a 28-7 lead into the intermission.

The only touchdown scored in the second half came on the first drive out of the locker room. A time consuming 14-play drive that chewed over eight minutes off the clock ended when Anthony D'Aurizio was on the receiving end of O'Brien's second touchdown pass of the afternoon.

JCU's final points came via field goals from Kresimir Ivkovic and Brad Marchese. Ivkovic made his from 33 yards in the third quarter and 25 yards in the fourth, while Marchese connected from 42 in the fourth.

John Carroll (3-2, 3-1 OAC) was paced by a career-high 105 rushing yards from D'Aurizio, who becomes the third different Blue Streak in as many games to surpass the century mark. Dan Budynas added 53 yards while De La Riva had 47 yards.

Quinzio was the leading receiver with five catches for 57 yards. Lane Robilotto, Ben Madden, and Alex Kline all had three catches.

The Blue Streak defense was only on the field for 50 plays and surrendered its lowest point total (7) and yardage total (226) of the season. John Carroll gave up just 25 yards on the ground, its lowest total since giving up just 21 against Otterbein on November 11, 2006. Kevin Cope was the leading tackler with five stops.
