TITANS' LAST GAME
Westminster lost at Saint Vincent, 21-9, Saturday. With the exception of Westminster scoring a safety late in the third quarter, all of the scoring took place in the first half. Saint Vincent took a 14-0, first-quarter lead that Westminster chopped in half in the second quarter, but the Bearcats went up 21-7 before halftime on Aaron Smetanka's second touchdown pass of the game. Saint Vincent amassed 369 total yards while limiting the Titans to just 153 total yards. Westminster's most productive drive was its 15-play, 65-yard touchdown march that spanned 7:08 of the first and second quarters and concluded with senior QB Shawn Lehocky throwing a 10-yard touchdown pass to junior WR Geno Pasquinelli. Lehocky finished the game 7-for-21 passing for 54 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions and three sacks. Pasquinelli snared six passes for 72 yards.

LAST MEETING
BEAVER FALLS, Pa. (Nov. 13) -- Westminster's 2010 season came to a dramatic conclusion with a roller-coaster game at Geneva that included three overtimes, four ties and five lead changes. The Titans lost 30-24 in triple overtime after Geneva scored on a 17-yard touchdown run by Gerard Muschette on Geneva's second play in the third overtime. Geneva blocked Westminster's field goal attempt on the Titans' possession in the third overtime. Muschette rushed 33 times for 190 yards.

Freshman RB Tyler Banks also rushed 14 times for 59 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore OLB Aaron Nauer posted eight tackles to go with his career-high three sacks and one forced fumble.

FOR STARTERS
Westminster has 13 returning starters, not including senior WR John Baummer who started two years ago. Of those 14 players, one is a fourth-year starter in senior P Andrew Clark and two are third-year starters in junior S Kyle Allen and senior CB Jordon Rooney. The other 11 are second-year starters but there are also five additional players who have started at least one game entering the 2011 season. Rooney, Allen, senior QB Shawn Lehocky and senior RT Adam Fueller are the only returners who started all 10 games last year. Allen holds the team's longest start streak at 21 games. Rooney's 28 career starts leads the team.

PASSING TO PASQUINELLI
Junior WR Geno Pasquinelli, a second team all-PAC pick last year, ranks second in the PAC with 5.6 receptions and 63.4 receiving yards per game (50 for 571 yards). He leads the PAC with nine receiving touchdowns. Pasquinelli is tied for sixth at Westminster with 16 career touchdowns with Chad Rosatelli (2006-09) and his nine touchdown catches this year is four away for the school single-season record and two away from the school record for a 10-game season. His 50 receptions this year are five away from entering the top five in team history for a single season (14 away from the record). Pasquinelli tied a career high with eight receptions (for 65 yards) vs. Lycoming and three times this year he tied a career high with two touchdown receptions (Grove City, Bethany, Thiel). Last year, he ranked second in the PAC with 5.3 receptions per game and fifth with 57.1 receiving yards per game despite not starting until the fifth game of the season because of an injury. His career high for receiving yards is 129 (on 6 catches) vs. Bethany last year. Twice during his career Pasquinelli (2010, 2011) tied the school record with five-game touchdown reception streaks, equalling streaks held by Chad Rosatelli (2008) and Roger Price (1971).

OH HENRY!
Making all eight of his field goal attempts this year, sophomore K Zac Henry is the only perfect field goal kicker in the PAC with more than one attempt, including two at Grove City and a season-long 38-yarder at Bethany. He ranks second in the PAC with 0.89 field goals per game. A first-year starter, Henry is 9-for-13 for his career including a 44-yarder at Geneva last year.

ALL IN WITH ALLEN
Junior S Kyle Allen ranks fourth in the PAC with four interceptions (for 72 yards). Allen also ranks fifth in the PAC in kick return average (14.5), seventh on the team with 45 tackles and he's fourth on the team with three pass break-ups. Allen, a second-team all-PAC pick as a return specialist last year, led the PAC and ranked 42nd in the nation with a 24.7 kickoff return average last year. He has nine career interceptions. He has scored three career touchdowns: 33-yard interception return vs. Hiram (2010), a 90-yard kickoff return vs. Grove City (2010) and a 36-yard fumble return while covering a kickoff at Thiel this year.

LEHOCKY THE LEADER
Senior QB Shawn Lehocky ranks sixth in team history with 3,848 career passing yards. He is 152 yards from 4,000 and 226 from tying Todd Huda (1994-97) for fifth place. In eight games this year (he missed one with an injury), Lehocky has thrown for 1,082 yards on 111-195 passing (56.9%, 9 TDs, 7 INTs) and his 135.2 passing yards per game ranks seventh in the PAC. Lehocky ranked fifth in the PAC last year with 172.6 passing yards per game (155-293 for 1,726, 14 TDs, 16 INTs). He's also a rushing threat. As a platoon quarterback in 2009, he rushed for 446 yards and seven TDs including a career-high 112 yards and a career-high two rushing scores vs. Waynesburg to become the team's first-ever quarterback to rush for 100 yards in a game. Lehocky's other career highs are 256 passing yards (Saint Vincent, 2010), 25 completions and 48 pass attempts (vs. Thomas More, 2011), 3 passing touchdowns (3 occasions), 3 interceptions (twice) and 19 rushing attempts (Waynesburg, 2010). Lehocky also excels in the classroom. He is the PAC SAAC Male Scholar-Athlete of the Month for October 2011 and he is a semifinalist for the National Football Foundation's National Scholar-Athlete Award.
