RIDGWAY, Pa. (D9Sports.com) – Lane Cicciarelli threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third, as two-win Union stunned unbeaten Ridgway 32-7 in a rare KSAC-AML interleague matchup Friday night in Ridgway.

Two late first-half touchdowns by the Golden Knights gave them a 24-7 halftime lead, and the Union defense shutdown the Ridgway attack in the second half.

Cicciarelli was 8 of 13 passing for 156 yards and the two scores while rushing seven times for nine yards and a score. He threw scoring passes to Chet Carmichaels and Cole Morris. Carmichaels had four catches for 88 yards and the score with Morris adding three grabs for 58 yards and the touchdown. Casey Confer added a rushing score for the Golden Knights, who scored 32 points despite having just 235 yards of total offense.

Tyler Wiser led Union’s defense, which limited Ridgway to 153 yards of offense while turning the Elkers over four times, with 11 tackles, including 2 ½ sacks, while Carmichaels and Confer each had an interception and four tackles.

Ben MacDonald scored Ridgway’s lone touchdown on a 7-yard run that cut Union’s early lead to 8-7. He ran 13 times for 25 yards and was 7 of 17 for 25 yards and two interceptions.
