ABILENE, Texas -  The McMurry University football team could not stop the No. 1-ranked team in the nation for NCAA Division III – the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor – suffering a 62-0 loss at Wilford Moore Stadium. The War Hawks fell to 2-6 overall and 2-5 in the American Southwest Conference, while the Cru upped its record to 8-0, 7-0 in the ASC.
 
McM joined plenty of distinguished company, as UMHB extended its winning streak to 23 games over the past two seasons.  The Cru posted three scores in each of the first two quarters – the first coming just 25 seconds into the game – and then added 20 second-half points.
 
McMurry's offense was never able to get in sync.  The War Hawks rushing game was held in check by the Cru for the second-consecutive meeting between the team, managing just nine yards on 22 carries. McM quarterbacks Kevin Hurley Jr. and Vincent James combined for 61 yards through the air versus the veteran UMHB defense. The duo threw a total of three interceptions.
 
UMHB's ball control offense helped the visitors to a 35:33 minutes to 24:27 minutes in time of possession.
 
McM's Eriel Dorsey had 108 all-purpose yards. Dorsey amassed 90 kickoff return yards and 18 receiving.
 
Special teams player Sean Germany had a pair of recoveries on muffed punts by UMHB, with Isaiah Wagner also making a recovery for the War Hawks.  Defensive back Aaron Theut had an interception and nine yard return on defense.
 
Linebackers Jacob Ferguson and Michael Green Jr. each had eight tackle, 1.0 sack and 2.0 tackles for loss.  Senior Jordan Washington added seven tackles.  Jamir Bowser had five tackles, two sacks and three tackles for loss.
 
McMurry will travel to East Texas Baptist University next Saturday (Nov. 4/2 p.m.) in Marshall, Texas.
