The Fury victory was not made easy with Keith McDonald playing very strong defense. In the fourth quarter, a goal from David Grundowski kept the Cosmos from being zipped by the Fury.

Knights (Continued from page 11) football players on this team Satur- day afternoon,” said Gorgone. “We came out the second half knowing George was out and said ‘you (Hanover) are not going to score on us,” said Gorgone. ‘“‘Our defense played very well.” The Black Knight defense held the Hawkeyes to an unbelievable minus 28 yards rushing in the first half and an equally impressive one yard gain on the ground for the entire game. The defensive game of the Black Knights deserves credit not only for its play, but also for stopping Hano- ver in very crucial game situations. Stickers In the second quarter of play, Gorgone’s offensive team fumbled the ball away three times. The Hawkeyes recovered the ball on the Lehman 31, 47 and 18 yard lines. All three times the Lehman defense stiffled the Hawkeye offense. With the Black Knights leading 7-0 late in the fourth quarter, Lehman again turned the ball over to Hano- ver when Jeff Martin was in punt formation and had the punt blocked giving the Hawkeyes possession at the Lehman 11 yard line after a 19- yard return of the block by Tony George. The Lehman defense, however, rose to the occasion and stopped the scoring threat following two pass incompletions and an offensive pass interference call. Lehman then ran the clock out for the 7 - 0 win. “It was a good win considering what happened to George,” said Gorgone. ‘‘The seniors really wanted to beat Hanover. I' do not think Lehman has ever beat Hano- ver. Our guys really wanted it Saturday.” Gorgone said his main concern now is to decide what his running game will consist of following George’s season-ending back injury.
