Shepherd's 2016 Playoff Run

Shepherd's 2016 Playoff Run Run To the ncaa semifinals...again!

Shepherd opened the 2016 NCAA Playoffs as the No. 3 seed in Super Region 1, and took on Assumption at home.

The Rams got off to a quick start, led by C.J. Davis' 89-yard kickoff return.

The next round had Shepherd go on the road to undefeated LIU Post out of the Northeast 10.

This time, it was a big second quarter that swung the momentum in favor of Shepherd as the Rams grabbed a 26-7 lead at halftime.

The next challenge for Shepherd was once again on the road at undefeated California (Pa.) out of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.

The Vulcans raced ahead and built a 17-0 lead early in the first quarter, forcing Shepherd to have to rally. Brandon Hlavach got things started with a long touchdown run.

A huge strip/sack fumble recovery for a touchdown took the momentum away from the Vulcans and helped spark the Rams rally.

Billy Brown had 9 catches, 172 yards and 3 touchdowns against the Vulcans.

Connor Jessop plunged in from 1-yard out to clinch the win in the waning moments

With the win, the Mountain East Conference has produced the Super Region 1 champion in each of the last three years.

Shepherd will look for a berth into the NCAA Championships this Saturday as it plays host to North Alabama. Kickoff from Rams Stadium is noon. See you there! #GoRams
