Corry, PA- The Corry varsity football team returned home Friday evening to take on the Mercyhurst Prep Lakers in a thrilling homecoming showdown.  It was a high scoring, back and forth affair that went all the way to overtime. In the end, the Beavers came out on top with a walk off touchdown to win the game 37-34. They are now 4-2 on the season. 

Corry kicked off the scoring in the first quarter with an 18 yard pass to Marcus Meredith that gave the Beavers an early lead (6-0). Prep responded immediately on the ensuing kickoff with a 92 yard touchdown return from Vinnie Feliciano (6-7). A 15 yard run from Lamech Albers and a successful two point try gave the Beavers the lead back soon after (14-7). The Lakers once again responded with a 56 yard run from Feliciano to tie the game (14-14). 

The lone score in the second quarter came off of a 56 yard bomb to Blake Cook. That gave Corry the lead at halftime 20-14. Corry was knocking on the door from inside the five but could not punch it into the endzone as the Lakers stopped them on fourth and goal from the four yard line.

After the halftime festivities, Prep opened up the scoring in the second half with another big 92 yard run from Feliciano on third and fifteen play (20-21). The Beavers answered with a 15 yard pass to Keaton Frisina (28-21). The Lakers then tied the game up headed into the fourth with a 22 yard run from Feliciano (28-28). 

In the fourth, Prep scored their lone touchdown on a 25 yard run from Feliciano (28-34). The Beavers scored theirs on a two yard run from quarterback Jack Vanchieri (34-34). A missed 34 yard field goal from Prep sent the game into overtime.

The Beaver’s defense started first in overtime. They clamped down and held the Lakers to a field goal (34-37). On offense, it only took Corry two plays to find the end zone with an eight yard pass to Keaton Frisina for the walk off win 37-34.
