The Cadets, after a bit of a slow start, unleashed 34 unanswered points and remained atop of the Metro Catholic Conference standings with a 34-7 thumping of SLUH Friday night.

Antonio Brown broke the century mark with 105 rushing yards and two scores and the Cadets defense also scored in the game, picked off two passes and sacked SLUH quarterback Trevor McDonough twice. CBC has outscored its four opponents 202-78.

McDonough hit Stefan Sansone for a 29-yard touchdown to open the scoring for SLUH (1-3, 0-1), but the Junior Billikens were stifled the rest of the way.
