Six plays after Dave McDonald made an interception, Jaime Brown

and Dave Melaragni threw two TD passes.

yards and two TDs to Pete Capuzzi.
Final
At La Salle University
Ryan 25, Roman 8
Gene McAleer (six tackles) and Dave McDonald (three
interceptions) led a defense that limited Roman to 60 yards total

CL competition. McDonald returned one of his pilfers for a 34-yard TD.
Jaime Brown carried 24 times for 72 yards and a score. Eugene Small ran
for Roman's TD.
