Shemory became the first Warrior to rush for four touchdowns in a game since Blake Bowman did it against FDU-Florham in 2015, as he plowed in from seven yards out in the first quarter, one-yard out in the second, 48 yards in the third and four yards out in the fourth. He finished 16-of-24 passing for 201 yards and two more scores, tossing a 67-yard touchdown and a 21-yard one.

Lycoming (3-5 overall, 2-4 MAC) piled up 543 yards of total offense, their second straight game above 500, as they ran for 342 yards on 55 carries, led by Shemory’s 114 yards.
