LEWISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Nyeoti Punni rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns, Jayden Clerveaux added a team-high 142 yards rushing and a score, and Holy Cross beat Bucknell 37-20 on Saturday.
After Bucknell got within 20-13 late in the third quarter, Holy Cross answered with a nine-play, 49-yard drive ended in a 46-yard field goal by Luis Palenzuela. Then four minutes later, Punni ran it in from 53 yards out to make it 30-13.
Bucknell turned it over on downs deep in its own territory after a sack on fourth down, and Clerveaux scored on the next play from 5 yards out to cap the scoring.
