FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Army Outguns Mounties in CSFL Football Matchup

MANSFIELD – Mansfield's Mike Maniscalo passed for 143 yards and scored on a 12-yard run but it wouldn't be enough to hold off a balanced Army offense that racked up 539 yards in total offense as the Black Knights downed the Mountaineers 51-6 before a Military Appreciation Day crowed at Karl Van Norman Field.

Mansfield held Army on the game's first series and, after getting the ball at its own 20, drove to the Army 39 before turning the ball over on an interception.

Army capitalized on the turnover to march 58-yards on five plays taking a 7-0 lead on a 8-yard run by Marqus Burrell.

The Black Knights would score three more times in the first half on 1-yard runs by Burrell and James Wartski along with a 12-yard pass from Wartski to Austin Breed to build a 27-0 halftime advantage.

A banged-up Mansfield squad relied on its passing game with sophomore Ben Pepper completing 11-of-23 attempts for 91 yards before giving way to junior Mike Maniscalo midway through the third quarter.

Maniscalo brought a spark to the offense, completing 9-18 passes for 143 yards.

Mansfield threatened numerous times in the second half, twice having short field goal attempts blocked before Maniscalo scored on a 12-yard scamper breaking tackles before diving for the endzone.

The Mountaineers accumulated 238 yards in total offense.

Jeremy Estremera caught eight passes for 57 yards and picked up another 10 yards rushing. Sean Green pulled down five receptions for 84 yards while Joe Bucek had four catches for 73 yards.

Senior linebacker Jake Myers had an outstanding game racking up a game-best 14 tackles, intercepting a pass and recovering a fumble. Senior Anthony Mazzone had 11 stops with a sack with fellow senior Jason Winter being credited with seven stops.

Army, the defending CSFL Champion, improved to 5-0 on the season. Quarterback James Wartski completed 23-of-35 passes for 252 yards and a touchdown with Ryan Hinkley picking up 82 yards on 13 carries.

Mansfield travels to Franklin Pierce next Saturday.
