NEW YORK (AP) — Brian Trobel ran for 120 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead Mercyhurst to a 19-7 victory over Wagner on Saturday.

Trobel's 3-yard touchdown run gave Mercyhurst (3-4, 2-0 NEC) a 6-0 lead in the second quarter and Alex Gevaudan's 76-yard touchdown pass to Trobel put the Lakers up 12-7 at halftime.

Trobel's 4-yard touchdown run made it 19-7 with 4 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter and the Lakers' defense took it from there as Wagner crossed midfield only once in the second half.

Jordan Barton was 10-for-16 passing for 123 yards for the Seahawks (1-5, 0-1). He threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Malik Cooper that gave Wagner a 7-6 lead in the second quarter.
