Troy, N.Y.., Sept.15, 2002 - Hudson Valley Community College used a balanced attack, amassing 487 yards of total offense, to defeat the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute junior varsity 35-13 this afternoon on the campus of RPI. Hudson Valley improved its record to 1-1 on the season while RPI JV is 0-1.
Ronly London (Clifford J. Scott, NJ) completed 11 of 19 passes for 208 yards. He tossed three touchdown passes including a 44-yard strike to John Slayer with 1:23 remaining in the first half to give the Vikings an eight-point cushion at the intermission.
Matt King finished with 72 yards on 12 carries and one score to pace the Hudson Valley ground attack. Emmanuel Marc (Spring Valley) had 65 yards on 12 carries and Brett Holmes finished with 64 yards on 12 attempts as Hudson Valley rolled up 279 rushing yards.
Rensselaer scored on its first two possessions but was unable to keep up with the Vikings as its remaining drives ended with punts.
Tight end Anthony Martinez (Colonie) continued to show why he is a Division I prospect by catching five passes for 64 yards and a touchdown. Slayer finished with 86 yards on three catches. He had a 42 yard reception to go along with his 44-yard touchdown catch.
Hudson Valley travels to SUNY Morrisville next Saturday, September 21 for a 1 p.m. contest against the Mustangs.
