Merced College picks up road win at De Anza College for its second consecutive victory
The Merced College football team received a strong effort from running back Justin Incaprera and the offensive line and the Blue Devils defense produced six sacks and two interceptions in a 21-6 victory over De Anza College in Cupertino on Saturday afternoon.
The Blue Devils improved to 2-1 on the season with their second consecutive win.
The freshman from Los Banos, Incaprera, finished with 197 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. He started the scoring with a 1-yard run in the first quarter to give the Blue Devils a 7-0 lead and then he added the exclamation mark on the victory with an 89-yard run to the end zone that extended the MC lead to 21-6 with 3 minutes and 35 seconds left in the third quarter.
The 15-point lead was more than enough for Merced College defense.
