SPOKANE, Washington – Hans Fortune threw for 496 yards and four touchdowns, and Brennan Schon hauled in 14 catches for 221 yards, but the Logger football team lost at Whitworth, 56-32, on Saturday afternoon.

Minutes after the Pirates (4-1, 2-0 NWC) took an 8-0 lead in the first quarter, Fortune connected with freshman Aiden Santino for a 13-yard touchdown to cut the deficit to 8-7.

Whitworth answered right back 30 seconds later as an 84-yard touchdown pass cushioned the Pirates' lead to 14-7. However, the Loggers (2-2, 0-2 NWC) continued to put points on board as Michael Andris' 33-yard field goal made it 14-10 late in the first.

Whitworth scored a couple of unanswered touchdowns, including a 97-yard kickoff return. Fortune and Santino hooked up once more, this time for a six-yard touchdown play, to make it 28-17 in favor of Whitworth with 5:26 to play in the second quarter.

Whitworth reached the end zone just a minute and-a-half later, but Fortune found Schon for a 28-yard score to cut the Pirates' lead to 35-24 at halftime.

The Loggers' only touchdown in the second half was a one-yard pass from Fortune to Sean Whaley midway through the fourth quarter.

Dustin Harrison got in on the aerial attack for the Loggers, finishing with 10 receptions and 122 yards. Santino had 68 receiving yards on eight catches, including his two touchdowns.
