Rams topped by No. 3 Calgary

CALGARY, Alta. - The University of Regina Rams were defeated by a score of 47-29 by the No.3-ranked Calgary Dinos on Saturday afternoon at McMahon Stadium.

Orchestrated by quarterback Erik Glavic, Calgary’s offence racked up an incredible 719 yards during the contest. Glavic completed 25 of his 34 passes for 470 yards and two touchdowns and also ran seven times for 58 yards.

The Rams led by a score of 9-8 after the first quarter, but Calgary scored three unanswered majors in the second quarter to take control of the game. The Rams cut the deficit to just 14 following a Perri Scarcelli field goal late in the third quarter, but could draw no closer.

Running back Anthony Parker also had a big game for the Dinos, leading all players in both rushing yards (79) and receiving yards (154). Most of Parker’s reception yardage came after an 85-yard catch-and-run for a major just 36 seconds into the game, and he also had an eight-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter.

Regina quarterback Marc Mueller threw for a career-high 384 yards in the loss, completing 26 of his 42 passes and tossing touchdown strikes to both Brenden Owens and Jordan Sisco. Sisco had another big game for the Rams, recording nine catches for 176 yards.

Calgary defensive lineman Deji Oduwole had a team-leading 6½ tackles, registered the game’s lone sack, and had a fumble recovery late in the game. Chase Moore and Geoff Paiement had interceptions for the Dinos. Thomas Irving led the Rams with 9½ sacks, while Kirby Kezama had an interception and a fumble recovery.

The loss creates a must-win situation for the Rams in their regular season finale against Saskatchewan next Friday. To qualify for the Canada West postseason, Regina must defeat the Huskies and hope that either Manitoba or Alberta loses next weekend.

The Rams and the Huskies will square off at 7 p.m. next Friday at Mosaic Stadium.
