St. Thomas added to their large first half lead with two touchdowns in the second half Saturday at O’Shaugnessy Stadium for a 62-0 rout of the Hamline Pipers.

Wide receiver Will Toonen was a special teams standout for the Tommies (2-0 overall, 1-0 MIAC), scoring touchdowns on a blocked kick in the first quarter and a 41-yard punt return touchdown in the fourth against the Pipers (0-3 overall, 0-1 MIAC).

Running back Josh Parks rushed for an even 100 yards and one touchdown in the first half. He scored his only touchdown on an 8-yard scamper in the second before being pulled out of the game.

Tommie quarterback Jacques Perra only threw four passes in the game but connected with tight end Jackson Finn on a 6-yard pass for the first score. Perra also scored his first rushing touchdown of the season on a 10-yard scramble to end the first.

The Tommie defense pitched its first shutout of the season, allowing a paltry -15 total yards to the Pipers. Cornerback Sam Gerrety started the game with a pick-six on Hamline’s first drive.

This is the first time the Tommies have played an evening game at O’Shaughnessy Stadium in 30 years.
