Carabins edge #9
Gaiters 21-13 Lennoxville, Saturday, October 27,
2007 –
Five weeks after falling at home 24-5 to the Bishop’s
Gaiters, the Universite de Montreal Carabins got a
measure of revenge on Saturday afternoon, knocking off
the Gaiters 21-13 before 2,169 at Coulter Field. Montreal opened the scoring early
in the first quarter when receiver Frank Bruno returned
a punt 74 yards for a touchdown. After a pair of
conceded safeties made the score 7-4, running back
Jamall Lee gave Bishop’s an 11-7 lead on a spectacular
75 yard touchdown run. Montreal, however, would come back
in the second half. A 37-yard field goal early in the
third quarter cut the Gaiters lead to 11-10. Following a
conceded safety by the Carabins late in the quarter,
Montreal took the lead for good early in the fourth when
quarterback Marc-Olivier Brouillette connected with
receiver Kevin Rivet on a 44-yard touchdown pass. A pair
of conceded safeties increased the Carabins lead to
21-13. Although the Gaiters made a late comeback
attempt, quarterback Jesse Andrews threw an interception
in the endzone with less than 10 seconds left to seal
the Carabins’ win. Running back Jamall Lee was once
again the player of the game for the Gaiters, carrying
the ball 31 times for 186 yards and a touchdown. The Hec
Crighton candidate finishes the season with a total of
1464 yards, the fifth-highest single-season total in CIS
history, trailing only Hec Crighton winners Jesse
Lumsden (McMaster) and Eric Lapointe (Mount Allison). The Carabins offense was led by
running back Dominic Chamberland-Pinto’s 95 yards, while
Kevin Rivet caught six balls for 107 yards and a
touchdown. The Carabins win finalized the
playoff picture in the highly competitive QUFL. With the
win, Montreal (4-4) clinched the fourth and final
playoff position and will face #1 Laval (8-0) next
Saturday. The Gaiters’ (5-3) loss, meanwhile, dropped
them into third place, meaning that they will have to
travel to Montreal next Saturday to face the Concordia
Stingers (5-3). -30-
