Keegan scored on a 12-yard sweep, caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jake McEachern and grabbed a 40-yard touchdown pass from McEachern. Londonderry also scored on Jeff Wiedenfeld’s 36-yard run in the second quarter and a 30-yard interception return by Alex Tsetsilas. Zach Fawcett made each of his five point-after kicks.

The Lancers led 7-0 after one quarter, 21-0 at halftime and 35-0 entering the fourth.

The loss ended Bedford’s 17 game winning streak.
