TERRE HAUTE, IND. -- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology scored 38 points in the middle two quarters to celebrate Senior Day in style with a 38-14 victory over Anderson University on Saturday.

Senior Cameron Hummel (Dunkirk/Jay County) led the Engineer offense with 132 yards passing and pair of touchdowns.  The defense relied on interception returns for touchdowns by juniors Steve Hawkins (Casey, Ill./Casey-Westfield) and Austin Hastings (Santa Ana, Calif.) to help secure the fifth win of the year. 

Sophomore Tim Schrock (Avon) added a team-high 87 rushing yards and a 52-yard touchdown scamper, while sophomore Nate Richter (Zionsville) led the receivers with three catches for 51 yards.

Rose-Hulman's defense shutout Anderson until late in the third quarter with a solid team effort.  Hastings led the team with nine tackles, with freshman Kyle Stevens (Santa Cruz, Calif./Harbor) adding eight stops.

Austin Hastings carried this interception return 70 yards for a touchdown.
