Rams power past Warner 51-36

LAKELAND, Fla. - The Bluefield University Rams powered past the Warner University Royals 51-36 Saturday afternoon on a hot late, fall Florida day.
Nathan Herstich passed for 333 yards and tied his school record set last week with six touchdown passes. Lebron Fields rushed for 102 yards, the Rams' first 100-yard rushing performance of the season. DaMarcus Wimbush picked off three passes, and Joey Dales booted three field goals and six extra points in leading BU to victory.
The Rams took a 13-0 lead on a Herstich pass to Thomas Lee and two Dales field goals of 35 and 30 yards. BU increased its lead to 20-7 on a TD pass from Herstich to Matthew Trevillian. Warner scored two TDs in the quarter to take a 21-20 halftime lead, the last score coming with just four seconds remaining in the half.
Bluefield moved ahead 37-21 in the third thanks to a Herstich touchdown pass to Antonio Strickland, another to Lee, wrapped around two Dales field goals.
The Rams extended their lead to 51-29 in the fourth quarter with a pair of TD passes from Herstich to Jaquan Ebron. Warner scored its final touchdown with 25 seconds left in the game.
Ebron finished with six catches for 120 yards and two scores. Trevillian caught five passes for 69 yards and a TD, Strickland had four catches for 54 yards. Lee hauled in three aerials for 70 yards and two touchdowns.
Defensively, Wimbush in addition to his three interceptions, led the Rams with 11 tackles. KeDarrius Phinazee and Sam Kirtley each had eight tackles, Kirtley added two sacks. Mykkel Banks also picked off a pass.
"It was a great team win," said Rams Head Coach Dewey Lusk. "All three phases played well and together. Our defense provided the turnovers and our offense and special teams provided the points.
"Kudos to our trainers and kids for being prepared for the heat as it was brutal. Congrats to DaMarcus Wimbush. Not only did he get his first career interception, but tallied three on the day. Also congrats to Joey Dales for kicking his first collegiate field goals. Go Rams!"
The Rams return home to take on St. Andrews in an MSC Appalachian Division contest next Saturday. It will be Homecoming for BU. Kickoff will be at 6:00.
