Gaudy, from his defensive back position, also contributed key plays. He scored on a 20-yard interception return with 7:46 left in the first half.
He then added two sacks of Brethren Christian quarterback Ryan Babcock as the Warriors tried to drive late in the game.
Brethren Christian (1-7, 0-3) took a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter when sophomore quarterback Dan Muilenburg scored on a four-yard run.
Ontario Christian scored 16 points in the second quarter to take a 23-14 halftime lead, but Brethren Christian took advantage of three fumble recoveries to score 10 points in the third quarter and take a 24-23 lead.
