CLARION, Pa. – The Clarion football team suffered a defeat on Homecoming Saturday, falling by a score of 62-14 to Edinboro at Memorial Stadium.  The Golden Eagles (2-2, 1-1 PSAC) will be back in action next week when they travel to Greensburg to take on Seton Hill at Offutt Field.
 
Delrece Williams rushed for 125 yards on 24 carries with two touchdowns, an average of 5.2 yards per carry and enough to give him five rushing scores on the season.  Overall Clarion ran for 140 yards on the ground, with Devin Clark adding another 26 yards to the total. 
 
Kyle Evans had a team-high 179 all-purpose yards on the day, totaling 89 yards receiving, 55 returning kicks and 27 returning punts.  Connor Simmons threw for 230 yards but did not connect in the end zone; Matt Lehman had six receptions for 81 yards while Kevin Genevro had five for 89 yards.
 
Defensively Adam Lynch had a team-high eight tackles and 1.0 tackles for loss, while Ben Zoeller had five stops and 1.5 tackles for loss.  Clarion broke up six passes on the day, with Layne Skundrich getting his hands on two balls.
 
Edinboro was in control of the game from the early going, jumping out to a 20-0 lead at the end of the first quarter and never looking back.  The Fighting Scots took advantage of a number of Clarion miscues, scoring 21 points off turnovers and also scoring on a kickoff return. 
 
Edinboro led 27-0 before Clarion reached the endzone for the first time, with Williams doing the heavy lifting on the drive.  He ran for 37 total yards on the scoring drive, punching it in from 11 yards out at the 11:02 mark of the second quarter to make it 27-7. 
 
Clarion struck offensively early in the second half as well, and it seemed like the Golden Eagles had things clicking once again.  Evans returned a kickoff 48 yards to his own 44-yard line, and then shimmied his way to a first down in Edinboro territory off a short pass from Simmons.  Lehman caught a pass across the middle to reach the Fighting Scott 13, and Greg Leonard put Clarion on the three-yard line with a another short reception.  Williams ran untouched over left tackle into the endzone to make it 48-14.
 
The Fighting Scot onslaught continued, though, with Jake Sisson connecting with James Clark for a 43-yard score on the next drive to make it 55-14.  Sisson and Clark hooked up for a 32-yard score on their next offensive possession to make it 62-14, and both teams ran out the clock in the fourth quarter to seal the result.
