Football Season Ends with NCAC Loss at Denison For Immediate Release: GRANVILLE, Ohio — The Earlham College football team closed out the season on Saturday with a 20-7 loss at Denison University in a North Coast Athletic Conference contest. Dension grabbed a 14-0 advantage by early in the second quarter before the Quakers got on the scoreboard with 10:14 remaining in the first half when junior quarterback Randy Kerns (West Manchester, OH/National Trail) found first-year Bryant Foreman (Mechanicsburg, OH/ Northeastern) for a 15-yard touchdown pass. Unfortunately for the Quakers (3-7, 2-5), that touchdown would be their only score of the contest. The Big Red (4-6, 3-4) added two field goals in the second half to finish the scoring. Kerns was 28-of-62 on the day for 262 yards and the one touchdown with four interceptions. First-year Michael Joyce (Pendleton, IN/Pendleton Heights) was the top receiver with eight receptions for 82 yards. Defensively, sophomore Cale Gulliford (Marion, IN/Marion) led the Quakers with 12½ tackles and an interception. Senior Evan Williamson (Fountain City, IN/Northeastern) added nine tackles. Saturday also marked the final game for Williamson and classmates Terrel Brown (Richmond, IN/Richmond), Alex Graham (Hiram, OH/Streetsboro), Carl Moravec (Oak Park, IL/Oak Park), Manny Myers (Fairmount, IN/Madison-Grant), Eric Sturgeon (Logansport, IN/Logansport) and Joe White (Richmond, IN/Richmond). Career Records White had six grabs for 56 yards against Denison and ended his career as Earlham’s all-time leader in catches (177), receiving yards (2,543) and touchdowns receptions (27). Earlier this season, Myers set the school standard in all-purpose yards, which is statistically made up of rushing, receiving, punt and kickoff returns. Myers completed his career with 4,581 yards.
