Sanders rushed for a career-high 170 yards and two touchdowns, on a season-high 20 carries, in a 38-28 victory at Edinboro on Thursday night. He also added four kick returns for 81 yards to give him a career-best 251 all-purpose yards in the victory over the Fighting Scots. The 170-yard effort shattered his previous-high of 125 yards he recorded against Clarion in a 42-38 victory over the Golden Eagles on November 5, 2011. He gave the Lakers a lead they would never relinquish late in the third quarter on a 75-yard run on a toss play around left end. It was the longest run of his career and tied for the fifth-longest run from scrimmage in program history. He added a one-yarder with 5:51 left in the fourth quarter.
