Simon Fraser University took a licking in its first-ever game in NCAA Division II football.

The Clan was spanked 38-0 by the Western Oregon University Wolves at Terry Fox Field Saturday.

Senior quarterback A.J. Robinson led the Wolves with a three-touchdown, 261-yard passing performance.

Trevor Gates hauled in two touchdowns and four receptions for 69 yards. Justin Ore also caught four balls for 95 yards.

Western Oregon outgained Simon Fraser 339 to 104 through the air.

Clan starter Quinton Agosta and backup Ryan Schwartz combined for only 11 receptions on 33 passes between them.

Gabe Ephard was the Clan's leading rusher, carrying the ball 14 times for 64 yards.

One highlight for the Clan was the play of true freshman outside linebacker Casey Chin of New Westminster, the team's leading tackler with eight individual stops.

Kyle Bridge, Andrew Marshall and Justin Capicciotti all registered a sack apiece for the Clan.

"It's kind of like when you fight your older brother for the first time, you are going to get knocked around," said SFU head coach Dave Johnson in a Clan press release.

"I was actually very pleased with our effort. We didn't quit in the second half, and really if was four or five major mental mistakes that led to their big plays."

The Wolves opened the scoring after just three minutes of the first quarter when Robinson hit Ore on a 49-yard TD pass.

Robinson threw two more TD strikes in the first half, including a 46-yard bomb that put Western Oregon up 21-0.

Backup pivot Evan Mozzochi then came in for Robinson and hit Josh McFarland on a 64-yard TD toss that gave the Wolves a 28-0 lead at halftime.

Darryl Valdez rushed for 98 yards for the Wolves, scoring the final touchdown of the game in the third quarter on a two-yard scamper.

Morgan Kelly nailed a 50-yard field goal to finish out the scoring for Western Oregon.

"It was a tough lesson, but we did some positive things in the second half, and I think we can take a lot out of that moving forward," added Johnson.

The next game for the Clan is against Southern Oregon at home on Saturday.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. at Terry Fox Field.
