#2 St. Xavier (OH) Survives in Triple Overtime


Another test for St. Xavier (Cincinnati, OH)...another passing grade.

The Bombers, ranked #2 in the latest USA Today Super 25, needed three overtimes before taking down another Ohio power St. Ignatius 17-14. Senior Dan Milligan ended the defensive struggle with a 33-yard field goal in the third overtime.

St. Xavier (9-0) was playing its first full game without senior quarterback John Hurley, who is out for the season after suffering a torn knee ligament in last week's win over St. Edward. Sophomore Luke Massa put in a solid performance by completing 7 of 14 passes for 87 yards and one touchdown.

St. Ignatius (7-2) played well on defense limiting St. X to 217 yards in total offense, including 135 yards on the ground by Bomber star tailback Darius Ashley on 32 carries.
