Erie, Pa- It was a homecoming to remember last weekend, as the Lakers dominated Buffalo State from start to finish, 55-0. The Lakers improved their record to 2-4 and now turn their attention to Central Connecticut State University.  Mercyhurst will play CCSU in New Britain, CT on Saturday October 12^th at 12:00 PM.
 
A Look Back
Mercyhurst quarterback Adam Urena is having a season to remember. Through six games, Urena has passed for 1,458 yards and 17 touchdowns, which are conference bests.
In last week's game alone, Urena tossed 6 total touchdowns and surpassed 300 yards through the air. As a team, Mercyhurst is averaging just shy of 30 points a game. They've averaged over 100 yards on the ground per game, and over 250 through the air.
 
Having dropped their first two match ups against Division I opponents, the Lakers will need to be sharp this Saturday at CCSU to earn a victory on the road.
 
Scouting the Blue Devils
2-3 on the season, the Blue Devils of Central Connecticut State have key wins over Fordham and St. Francis. CCSU averages 314.2 total yards a game and holds opponents to 27 points per game on average.
 
Most recently, CCSU is coming off a 1-points loss to Yale. Elijah Howard was a standout performer, logging 30 touches in the game. He rushed for 108 yards on 25 carries and added five receptions for 68 yards, marking his second 100+ yard rushing game of the season.
 
In every game but one this season, CCSU has allowed 20+ points to opposing offense, which bodes well for the Lakers high powered offense.
 
Up Next
The Lakers hope to solidify a win this week, before heading into a bye week. The Lakers will be back in action on October 26^th when they'll travel to Sacred Heart. The game is slated for 12:00pm.
