Matt Lillis had a career game at cornerback, intercepting two passes, returning one 48 yards for a touchdown, and blocking two punts that led to LVC touchdowns as the Dutchmen shut out Widener, 24-0. It was the second straight two-pick game for Lillis; the senior grabbed a pass on the goal line to prevent a first-quarter Pride TD, and on the next Widener drive, Lillis intercepted Chris Haupt and went 48 yards for a score to put LVC up 14-0. Both punt blocks gave LVC great position on touchdown drives, deep in Widener territory.
