St. John's 42, Fitchburg 20

     Junior quarterback Peter Wood ran for
three touchdowns and passed for another as
St. John's clinched its first Super Bowl
berth since 1990 with a 42-20 thumping of
Division 1 rival Fitchburg yesterday at
Pioneer Field in Shrewsbury.
     The undefeated Pioneers (9-0, 6-0)
raced to a 21-0 lead before the Red Raiders
got on the board. Wood plunged 1 yard for
the first two scores and hit John Edwards
on a 27-yard pass play for the third TD.
John Goss kicked three PATs.
     Fitchburg cut its deficit to 21-7 on Brian
Bouvier's 1-yard run before halftime, but
St. John's racked up two third-period TDs,
on Wood's 25-yard scamper and a 4-yard
run by Zack Dumas, to go up 35-7 and put
the game on ice.
     Junior running back Brian Cammuso,
who piled up 198 yards in 21 rushes,
scored on a 2-yard run in the final quarter
for the winners. Fitchburg tacked on two
fourth-period TDs on a 2-yard run by Matt
Barnes and a 9-yard run by Norman Cole.
     Senior linebacker Peter Nyako made
seven tackles for St. John's, which has a
Thanksgiving date with St. Peter-Marian
before its Super Bowl appearance.
Edwards picked up 96 yards on 4 catches,
while Wood completed 9 of 12 passes for
119 yards.
     Fitchburg slipped to 4-6.
