NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. (AP) — DeMarcus McElroy rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown, and Merrimack improved to 3-0 at home this season with a 24-7 victory over Robert Morris on Saturday.
After RMU went 92 yards in five plays on its opening possession to take a 7-0 lead, Merrimack allowed just 129 yards the rest of the way.
Ayden Pereira was just 5-of-13 passing for 73 yards with an interception for Merrimack (3-3). But his 5-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter gave Merrimack a 17-7 lead.
McElroy’s 1-yard touchdown run capped a seven-play, 97-yard drive with 3:31 remaining.
Cooper Panteck had 120 yards passing with one touchdown and two interceptions for Robert Morris (1-4), which closed out its nonconference season against one of the two FCS independents.
Kamden Wyatt made his third career interception — his first with Merrimack — with six minutes left in the third quarter near the red zone.
The Colonials’ Northeast Conference slate begins next Saturday against defending champion Central Connecticut State.
