GAMBIER, OH — The No. 10-ranked Washington University football team delivered another dominant performance on Saturday, when it defeated Kenyon College, 65-0, in an NCAA Division III football game at McBride Field.
The Bears scored touchdowns on nine of their first 11 possessions of the game and scored 60-plus points for the third time this season.
Seven different players scored touchdowns for WashU, which is now 6-0 on the season and 5-0 and sole holders of first place in the North Coast Athletic Conference.
WashU quarterback Levi Moore, who played just the first half, threw a touchdown pass and ran for two others to lead the Bears offense. The running back trio of Brayden Lewis, Matthew Kinoshita, and Karsten Cornell combined for 163 yards on 25 carries and four touchdowns.
Lewis scored two touchdowns and Cornell led all rushers in the game with 64 yards. receivers Makael Carter, Avery Lazard, and Ryan Bienstock caught a combined eight passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns.
Every member of the Bear defense was able to play at least one snap in the game, with linebacker Henry Murr leading the team with four tackles, a tackle for loss, and a quarterback hurry. Ethan Venable had a quarterback sack, and Brad Shearer had an interception.
