PORTLAND, Ore.—Lewis & Clark College football scored on each of their first three possessions of the game and never looked back, in a dominant 38-10 win over George Fox University on Saturday afternoon at Griswold Stadium. 
 
THE BASICS
 
Lewis & Clark 38, George Fox 10
(Lewis & Clark 2-0) 
(George Fox 0-2) 

HOW IT HAPPENED
 
The Pioneers needed just four plays from scrimmage to grab a 14-0 lead and kept the momentum going from there - to earn an Oregon Cup win and a victory in their 2025 home opener. 
 
Lewis & Clark dominated on both sides of the ball, as they racked up 418 yards and forced three fumbles and posted six tackles-for-loss. The Pioneers held George Fox to their lowest point total against Lewis & Clark since the Bruins reinstated their program in 2014.  
 
Senior Daryl Scott notched six tackles (two solo), one fumble recovery and two pass break-ups. Junior Charlie Murrin was all over the field as he racked up five tackles, two fumble recoveries, two pass break-ups and 1.5 tackles-for-loss. Junior Jordan Delgado chipped in with five solo tackles and a pass break-up and senior Andrew Baum led the team with two tackles-for-loss and notched four total stops. 
 
Seniors Jack Warren and Thomas Reagan each recorded forced fumbles. Senior Josh Arcayena and junior JT Chavez registered the team's two sacks in the win. 
 
On offense, sophomore Dashiell Weaver followed up his Player of the Week debut with another impressive performance. Weaver finished 19-25 for 268 yards and threw four touchdowns in the first 3+ quarters. 
 
Senior Dez Holton led the receiving corps with five catches for 104 yards and a score. First year Sytyn Lasconia (64 yards) and senior Garrett Lee (47 yards) each posted four catches and a touchdown in the win. Junior tight end Julius Walker chipped in a five-yard touchdown catch on his lone reception of the day. 
 
Senior Jordan Lahusky set the tone early and led the team's rushing attack. He posted the majority of his 97 rushing yards on the opening play from scrimmage and finished the day with nine carries and one touchdown. Sophomore Gio Borea added eight rushes for 36 yards and senior Isaac Glover pitched in nine rushes for 27 yards. 
 
Lewis & Clark needed just two plays to grab a 7-0 lead. Lahusky returned the opening kickoff out to the 20-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, he ran to the left, cut the ball back from the sideline at midfield and sprinted all the way across the field for an 80-yard touchdown to make it 7-0 just 20 seconds in. 
 
The Bruins were assessed a penalty on the ensuing kickoff and started with the ball on their own 10-yard line. Thomas Reagan blew up the receiver on a screen pass to the left side of the field and Daryl Scott jumped on the fumble to give Lewis & Clark the ball back at the Bruins seven-yard line. 
 
On the second play of the drive, Weaver found Walker in the back of the end zone for a five-yard touchdown to make it 14-0 just 1:12 into the game. 
 
George Fox would manage a few first downs on their next drive but would be forced to punt after big stops from Mitchell Sarmento and Murrin.
 
Lewis & Clark would march down the field with a 14-play, 96-yard drive to extend their lead to 21-0. The Pioneers faced just three, third downs on the drive and Weaver found Holton (32 yards) and Lee (13 yards) for two big conversions. With the Pioneers facing first and goal from the five, Weaver found Lasconia on a quick slant route for a touchdown to make it 21-0 with under three minutes to go in the quarter. 
 
The two teams would each punt on their next two possessions before George Fox finally got on the board with 4:22 to go before halftime on a Tucker Land seven-yard touchdown catch. 
 
Lewis & Clark would immediately answer. Weaver found Holton for a 16-yard catch to push the ball across the 50-yard line. Two plays later, the pair connected for a touchdown, as Weaver found Holton racing in behind the defense at the 12-yard line and Holton galloped in a for a 46-yard score. 
 
The Pioneers tacked on one final score before halftime. After forcing a Bruins punt, Lewis & Clark used a 42-yard Lasconia catch and a 15-yard Bruins penalty to move from their own 28 to the Bruins 15. The drive ultimately petered out but sophomore Trevor Koo stepped up and drilled his first career field goal (31 yards) to make it 31-7 at halftime. 
 
Lewis & Clark's defense dominated the third quarter. They forced a turnover on downs on fourth and goal from the eight on the first George Fox drive of the half. The Pioneers recorded a three-and-out on the next possession. Warren stripped George Fox quarterback JJ Leman on a QB keeper to end the third drive, as Murrin dove on top of the loose ball. 
 
The Pioneers capped off their scoring for the day to start the fourth quarter. With Lewis & Clark facing a second and 11 from the Bruins 24, Lasconia found Lee down the right sideline for a 24-yard touchdown reception just seven seconds into the fourth quarter. 
 
George Fox would manage one field goal, amongst three turnover on downs in the final stanza. 
 
BY THE NUMBERS

• Lewis & Clark has now won three-straight games over the Bruins and this was by far their most lopsided victory. Saturday's contest saw Lewis & Clark post their most points (38), fewest point against (10) and biggest win margin (28), since the Pioneers defeated George Fox 51-0 in 1946. 
• In six quarters and two drives, Weaver has thrown for 627 yards and nine touchdown passes. The sophomore is 43-60 and is averaging 313.50 yards per game. 
• Koo matched his career-high with eight points after going 1-1 on field goals and 5-5 on PATs. 
• Logan March recorded a 22-yard catch in his collegiate debut. The sophomore tight end did not play in a game last season due to injury. 
• The Pioneers defense held George Fox to just 83 rushing yards on 29 carries (2.86 yards per rush). 
• Lewis & Clark is 2-0 for the third time in four seasons. The Pioneers started 2-0 in 2022 and 2023. They will look to start 3-0 for the first time since the 2011 season (7-0 start). 
• Lahusky's touchdown 20 seconds into the game on Saturday was the second-fastest touchdown of his collegiate career. He returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown just 11 seconds into the game against #6/8 Linfield University on October 7, 2023. 

WHO'S NEXT 
 
Lewis & Clark will travel to California to take on Pomona-Pitzer on Saturday at 1 p.m. in their non-conference finale.
