ITHACA, N.Y. (AP) _ Ricky Rahne threw for 206 yards and three touchdowns to lead Cornell to a 31-14 win over Wagner Saturday.

Rahne completed 20 of 28 passes without an interception. Justin Dunleavy caught eight of them for 60 yards and a touchdown while Deon Harris ran for 120 yards on 26 carries.

Cornell (5-2) drove 71 yards in 11 plays the first time it had the ball and finished the drive with a 26-yard run off left tackle by Harris just 6:04 into the game. Harris was only in the game because of a quick injury to starter Brian Ulbricht, who was hurt on the game's fifth play.

The Big Red's second TD was set up by an interception by Cornell safety David Caputo at his own 10-yard line. He ran it back to the 23, where Rahne went to work.

Cornell drove 77 yards, finishing with a 6-yard TD pass to Dunleavy with 12:37 left in the first half.

Big Red kicker John McCombs came through hitting all four conversions on the day as well as a 40-yard that gave Cornell a 17-0 lead.

Wagner (4-4) fought back with a 63-yard TD pass from Lou Simone to Chuck Kinsley.

But Cornell aimed to score again before halftime, driving 62 yards in nine plays including a 4-yard TD pass to wide receiver Keith Furguson with five second left.

Cornell controlled the ball in the second half, scoring a second TD in the third quarter when Rahne hit Tim Hermann for an 11-yard score at the end of a 54-yard drive.

Wagner mustered one more score, a 22-yard TD pass from Aaron Smith to Mike Cerminaro with 1:18 left in the game.

Wagner's Simone ended the day with 136 yards passing, a touchdown, was intercepted once and sacked three times.

``I thought Cornell capitalized on turnovers,'' said Wagner head coach Walt Hameline. ``They moved the ball well on us in the first half ... it could have gotten really ugly in the he second half, but (Wagner) played tough and hard.''

``The offense executed at times, at other times we just didn't and that's when we got hurt,'' Rahne said.

``We're 5-2, we're in first place in the Ivy League, nobody thought we would be here,'' said Cornell head coach Pete Mangurian. ``I'll guarantee you that ... now the stage is set. We have a three-game tournament coming up. The winner is going to be the only one left standing.''
