TOPEKA - The Washburn Ichabods picked up their first win of the season with a 30-7 victory over Langston. The Ichabods evened their record to 1-1 and will now open MIAA play with arch-rival Emporia State on Sept. 4 at 1 p.m.

After forcing the Lions into a three-and-out the first drive of the game, the Ichabods drove 68 yards in six plays to take an early lead they would not let go of. Ra'Shawn Moseley capped the drive with a 24-yard touchdown run.

The Ichabods would score the next 23 points of the game before Langston would get on the scoreboard with 5:32 remaining. The Ichabod scoring drives were of 19, 80 and 30 yards. One of them was through the air as Sam Sissom caught his third touchdown pass of the season from Tyler Schuerman with 4:22 left in the first quarter.

Moseley would finish off the 80 yard drive with his second touchdown score of the game and Mike Odupitan would score a 14-yard touchdown run on an end around. Although the run only counts as a 14-yard run, he back-tracked to the Langston 35 before scampering in for the score.

The Ichabods also recorded their first safety since Oct. 27, 2001 at Emporia State when Nick Bull tackled Jimmy Scales in the endzone for the two points.

Moseley finished with 63 yards on 13 carries and the two touchdowns. Schuerman completed 19 of 36 passes for 198 yards and the one score. Cason Lehman and Sissom each had five receptions. Lehman had 76 yards and Sissom had 56 yards and the one touchdown.

On defense, the Ichabods were led by Erin Beck who had nine tackles. Grand Gould had seven including one for loss.

The teams combined for 27 penalties (13 on Langston) and 214 yards in penalties (135 against the Ichabods).
