CUA looks for third third straight win vs. McDaniel on Saturday

WASHINGTON - A pair of 2-0 teams meet on Saturday afternoon inside Cardinal Stadium as CUA welcomes McDaniel to town.  The Cardinals are coming off a 42-32 win over Apprentice School last weekend in which they racked up 441 yards of total offense, including a 304-yard, five-touchdown passing performance by sophomore quarterback Greg Cordivari.  McDaniel meanwhile scored just one offensive touchdown in its 13-10 win vs. Moravian.

CUA will be taking on McDaniel for the 16th time this weekend with the Green Terror leading the series 11-4.  McDaniel won last year’s meeting 21-17 in Maryland, while CUA earned a 31-7 victory in D.C. in 2008.

CUA scored five offensive touchdowns last weekend.  The longest drive took only 1:51 and the average time of the Cardinals’ five scoring drives was just 1:10.

Senior safety Dylan O’Shea is the leader of the CUA defense and last week he showed why.  The native of Connecticut registered two tackles, one interception and a team-leading three pass breakups in the Cardinals win.
