LORETTO, Pa. (Interstat) — Two teams heading in opposite directions will meet Saturday when the Mercyhurst Lakers visit the winless Saint Francis (PA) Red Flash at DeGol Field.

Mercyhurst (3-6) looks to snap a two-game skid after a 22-15 home loss to Stonehill on Oct. 25. The Lakers’ offense showed life in that defeat, with quarterback Adam Urena completing 29 of 41 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns. The running back duo of Brian Trobel and Ayron Rodriguez combined for 90 rushing yards and a score.

They face a Saint Francis (PA) (0-8) squad still searching for its first victory. The Red Flash came close last Saturday, falling 23-20 to Wagner. The offense found a rhythm behind running back Jordan Theodore, who rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown, while quarterbacks Nick Whitfield Jr. and Jeff Hoenstine each threw for a score.

Despite the Red Flash’s record, Interstat’s game simulator projects a high-scoring affair with Saint Francis (PA) winning 36-28. The game represents a crucial opportunity for the Red Flash to break into the win column, while the Lakers aim to steady their season by securing a road victory.
