The George Mason club football team (2-2) traveled to Media, Pa. Saturday and dismantled the Williamson Tech Mechanics, 27-10, to win their second straight game. The two schools have faced off against each other on the gridiron 18 times, with each of the three previous matches being losses for the Patriots.

“It feels awesome, definitely feels awesome, [and] on their turf too,” Mason wide receiver Mike McNiff said.

Though they had a slow start in the first half, allowing the Mechanics to score first, Mason’s defense proved to be crucial throughout the match as both teams fought their way up and down the field. By the second half, they had halted the Mechanics’ progress, allowing the Patriot’s offense to pull ahead, finishing the game strong.

Mason had turned the tide of the game when defensive lineman, Chris Hamilton, sacked Williamson’s quarterback in their backfield for a safety. This narrowed the Patriots’ deficit to just two points by half-time, 10-8.

After eliminating many of the errors and mental mistakes made in the first half, the offense had a great showing as well.

During an intense drive during the third quarter, fullback Chris Regensburg made a wide run to the left, making his way into the end zone for a touchdown and spreading the lead to 21-10.

Larry Johnson later allowed the Patriots to end the game strong, making a hard run to the left for the last touchdown.

Both teams, by the end, had fought a long and hard battle.

“It was a game we let slip out of our hands and we shouldn’t have been in this hold we got into,” Williamson head coach Bill Haines said. “A couple calls either way and it’s a different ball game.”

The “Mason Men” reflected on the end of their three-game losing streak with the Mechanics.

“It feels good to finally get the monkey off the back, you know,” Regensburg said.

Mason will play at home this week against Stevens Tech (4-2) at RAC Field Saturday at 3:00 p.m.

“Stevens Tech is always a tough team for us, they are a good Pennsylvania team,” Patriots’ head coach Matt Dyson said. “They seem to be doing a lot more passing this year. They have a good quarterback, good receivers, so we’re going to have to prep for a lot of what they do in the air.”
