RAF LAKENHEATH, England — Jason Hacker sacked Ramstein quarterback Eric Murray in the end zone, and Travis Howland intercepted a deflected pass and returned it four yards for a touchdown Saturday as Lakenheath shut out defending Division I champ Ramstein 8-0 in the conference opener for both teams.

The big second-half defensive plays allowed Lakenheath to improve to 1-1. Hacker’s sack came one play after Ramstein had held Lakenheath on downs at the 1-yard line.

In Saturday’s other Division I play:

Wiesbaden 40, Würzburg 0: At Würzburg, Germany, five different Warriors scored touchdowns as Wiesbaden won at Würzburg for the second straight week.

Fellow fullback Dan Villareal carried five times for 41 yards and a TD.

Shannon McCray, who carried eight times for 33 yards, rushed for one TD and returned the second half kickoff 70 yards for a score.
