Lions crush Alouettes

Jul 20, 2014 - 2:53 AM Vancouver, BC (SportsNetwork.com) - Emmanuel Arceneaux caught three touchdown passes as the British Columbia Lions dominated the Montreal Alouettes, 41-5, on Saturday.

Arceneaux finished the game with eight catches for 145 yards, while Kevin Glenn went 23-for-31 for 301 yards and two scores for the Lions (2-2), who have won their past two after opening the season with a pair of losses.

Troy Smith went just 5-for-17 for 45 yards and an interception for the Alouettes (1-3), who have lost their past two games.

The Lions got a 30-yard field goal from Paul McCallum to cap their first possession of the game, and their second touch ended on a 35-yard touchdown catch by Arceneaux from Glenn.

Montreal answered the touchdown with its only points of the first half, a 42- yard field goal from Sean Whyte.

British Columbia got a 16-yard field goal from McCallum late in the second, and a blocked punt resulted in a Travis Partridge 1-yard touchdown run to give the team a 20-3 lead at the break.

A 10-yard scoring pass by Glenn to Arceneaux was the only points of the third quarter, and the Lions turned the game into a rout in the fourth.

With John Beck under center, Arceneaux caught a 27-yard score, and Andrew Harris had a 13-yard scoring catch, while the Lions conceded a safety in their own end zone later in the game to account for the final score.
