Football Closes Out Season with 45-22 Loss to C.W. Post

BROOKVILLE, NY. – The Merrimack football team closed out its 2007 season with a 45-22 loss to C.W. Post Saturday afternoon in a Northeast-10 game. The Warriors finish the season 4-6 overall, 4-5 in the Northeast-10 Conference.

Wide receiver Chris Laham (Westwood, MA) tied the school record for receiving touchdowns in a season with 14 as he had two receiving touchdowns, catching passes from Colin Temple (Rutland, VT) who played in his final collegiate game.

Temple also moved into second place all-time in the Northeast-10 for career passing touchdowns, passing Tom Guy. Temple finishes his career with 74 touchdown passes and 24 this season, both school records.

The Pioneers scored the game’s first 24 points before Temple and Laham connected on a scoring play just before halftime.

Temple passed for 287 yards on 25-of-44 passing but was intercepted four times. Mike Young (Norwood, MA) had 97 total yards, 67 receiving and 37 rushing.

A team that was picked to finish second in the conference in the preseason standings, Merrimack started 1-4 and could never recover. Its only noteworthy win was a 34-20 road victory over Southern Connecticut, a team most likely heading to the postseason.
