INDIANA, Pa. – Rolando Perez (Homestead, Fla./Somerset Academy) broke free for a 4-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter, marking the first touchdown of his collegiate career, but Gannon was unable to overcome a strong defensive performance from Indiana (PA) in a 26-6 road setback on Saturday afternoon.
