Saints Fall To Peahens In Defensive Struggle

Oct 5, 2002

Box Score

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) - James Galea kicked a school-record four field goals and St. Peter's forced five fumbles in a 19-0 victory over Siena on Saturday.

Galea kicked field goals of 42 and 23 yards in the first quarter and connected from 33 and 22 yards in the second quarter to give St. Peter's (4-2, 3-0) a 12-0 lead at halftime. The 42-yarder was the longest of Galea's career.

The old record for field goals in a game was two, shared by four players including Galea. In his team's previous five games this season, Galea had made two of three field goal attempts.

Antonio Seay scored the only touchdown of the game when he returned a fumble 14 yards for a score with 2:13 left in the third quarter.

St. Peter's defense, which has now gone 12 quarters without allowing a touchdown, held Siena (1-4, 1-4) to five first downs and 151 total yards, and thwarted the Saints on 11 of 12 third-down opportunities. Siena quarterback Chris Karolus was held to five completions in 13 attempts for 55 yards.

Matthew Ward (13 carries, 72 yards) and Derek Clayton (22-66) led a St. Peter's rushing attack that gained 192 yards.
