Metcalf, a former Southern Oregon University lineman, became the fourth St. Mary’s coach in four years when he was hired last spring. St. Mary’s was led by the running and placekicking of senior James Kulig, who paced a Crusader ground game that amassed 258 yards, kicked three field goals and converted all five extra-point kicks. Kulig gained 137 yards on 16 carries and scored one touchdown. He also made field goals of 20, 43 and 44 yards. Crusader senior Keith Butts scored two rushing touchdowns and gained 85 yards on the ground.
