UNION, NEW JERSEY — Salisbury University's football team beat Kean 21-12 in a New Jersey Athletic Conference game Saturday afternoon at Kean Alumni Stadium, and Dario Belizaire, a senior from Cambridge, became the program's career touchdown leader, the university said.
Belizaire set the record on a 44-yard run with 5:01 left in the third quarter that, with Ryan Quick's extra point, stretched Salisbury's 7-5 lead to 14-5. He finished with 77 yards and that touchdown on seven carries. Kean pulled within 14-12 late in the third quarter, and the Sea Gulls answered with a 10-play, 71-yard drive that took six minutes before Isaiah Holbrook ran in from 7 yards out with 3:42 to play.
Salisbury's first touchdown came on a 37-yard pass from junior quarterback SyRus McGowan of Chestertown to Tyler Orth with 21 seconds left in the first quarter, after Kean had opened the scoring with a safety. Cole Ferrara had nine tackles and two of the Sea Gulls' four sacks, and Salisbury held Kean to 85 rushing yards. Easton's Kahlil Batson, a junior defensive lineman, is listed among the Sea Gulls who played, according to the box score.
The Sea Gulls are 7-2 and 4-2 in the conference. They close the season at home against CNU at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14.
One 44-yard run, and the record is his.
