Widolff had plenty to be concerned about during the first 30minutes of play. The Kingsmen's defense dominated in the first half, holding Oxy's offense to 117 total yards in the first two quarters while taking a 24-7 halftime lead. Cal Lutheran (5-2, 2-2) jumped out to a 21-0 lead, as Danny Jones Daniel Alan David Jones, commonly known as Danny Jones (born March 12, 1986 in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England) is one of the lead vocalists and guitarists in the British pop band McFly, along with fellow band members Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd. threw touchdown passes to Jesse Matlock and Danny Hernandez and Matlock ran for a score.

Collins connected with Washington again on a 4-yard touchdown pass with 5:39 left in the third to cut the Kingsmen's lead to 27-21. ``We are a no-huddle team,'' Widolff said. ``We went to a lot faster tempo and that hurt them on third down, and we were able to keep them from subbing in much.'' The Kingsmen were held to a 38-yard Pearce field goal in the second half despite gaining 257 yards in the final two quarters. Pearce also made a 20-yard field goal in the second quarter. But his third and last attempt fell short. ``I knew it was a deep one, but I just hit it as best I could,'' Pearce said. ``I thought I hit it good and it was going to go.'' ivan.orozco@dailynews.com (818) 713-3607 CAPTION(S): photo Photo: Occidental QB Andy Collins hands the ball off to Mathew Anderson against Cal Lutheran on Saturday.
