EAST STROUDSBURG--Tailback Marques Glaze rushed for a career high 222 yards and scored four touchdowns to lead Bloomsburg University to a 34-7 win over East Stroudsburg University Saturday afternoon. The win gives the Huskies sole possession of first place in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference's Eastern Division with a 3-0 record. The Warriors fell to 4-1 in the PSAC East.

Bloomsburg (5-1) scored on its first four possession of the game to take control of the contest and Glaze was dominating from the beginning. On the Huskies' first drive of the game Glaze gained 67 of the drive's 80 yards and capped the series with a nine yard run.

Later in the first the Huskies made it 10-0 when Tim Oliver connected on a 23-yard field goal, the first of the year for Bloomsburg.

After Bloomsburg forced East Stroudsburg (4-2) to go four and out on its next series, Glaze rambled 47 yards for a score with 37 seconds left to play in the period to give the Huskies a 17-0 lead. The run by Glaze capped a three-play, 79 yard drive with Glaze gaining 72 of the 79 yards. For the first period alone, the senior co-captain picked up 149 yards on 10 carries and two scores.

,Bloomsburg added to its lead with another Oliver field goal, this one from 20-yards out with 9:04 left in the half. The big play on the drive was a career-best 56 yard run down to the one-yard line.

East Stroudsburg had their best chance to score late in the first half moving the ball to the Bloomsburg 30-yard line, but with time running out, Warriors' Jeremy Palm threw incomplete to the end zone as the half expired.

At the start of the third period Glaze wasted little time putting the game out reach scoring on a 55-yard run on the fourth play of the half. The score put Bloomsburg up at that point 27-0.

Glaze capped off his big day scoring on a six-yard run later in the third period to put Bloomsburg in front 34-0.

The Warriors, who were denied in the third period after moving to the Bloomsburg two-yard line, finally broke into the scoring column with a one yard run from Greg Vaughn in the fourth period.

Glaze's 222 yards rushing was six better than his previous high of 218 yards last year against Indiana (PA). As a team the Huskies out gained the Warriors by a margin of just 430 to 398. The big difference was Bloomsburg average of 7.4 yards gained per play compared with 4.6 for East Stroudsburg.

Bloomsburg will return home next week for a game with Mansfield, while the Warriors visit Shippensburg.
