Wolfville, N.S. – Third-year running back Jamall Lee’s 266 yards and four touchdowns led the 7^th-ranked Bishop’s Gaiters to a 42-17 romp over the Acadia Axemen in CIS football action today.

The Hec Crighton candidate came into the game requiring 116 yards to break the old mark of 1050, held by ex-Gaiters running back Larry Smith, and broke the record on a seven-yard run early in the second quarter. He finished the half with 146 yards rushing, as the Gaiters took a 21-8 lead into the break.  Lee scored two of the Gaiters’ touchdowns, while Jesse Andrews connected with Olivier Mongeau on the other Gaiters’ score.

Lee added two more majors in the second half to tie the school record of four touchdowns in a game, while James Yurichuk ran back a fumble 50 yards for a touchdown to round out the Gaiters’ scoring.

Lee finished the day with 31 carries (also a school record) for 266 yards, bringing his season total to 1200 yards after six games. He now has 2830 career yards rushing, 73 yards behind Dennis Walker’s school record of 2903.

Quarterback Jesse Andrews had his best day passing on the year, as he went 14-for-23 for 24 yards with a touchdown and an interception. His favourite target was fourth-year receiver Keith Godding, who caught five balls for 104 yards. Kyle Jones led the Gaiters’ defence with ten tackles and also forced the fumble that Yurichuk returned for his score, while Nick Poloniato had another two interceptions on the day, bringing his season total up to six.
