EASTON, Mass. - The Southern Connecticut State University football team outscored Stonehill by a 32-0 margin in the second half and cruised to a 45-21 win over the Skyhawks on Saturday afternoon at W.B. Mason Stadium. The Owls trailed 21-13 at halftime, but used a 25-point third quarter to seize control of the contest.
The Owls are now 4-4, 4-2 in Northeast-10 Conference play. Stonehill is 3-4, 1-4.
Trailing 21-13 at the break, the Owls took the opening kickoff of the second half and put together a six-play, 68-yard drive that concluded with a two-yard plunge from John Wiechman (Buxton, Maine). The PAT was no good, which kept the score at 21-19.
The Owls’ defense quickly forced a punt and the visitors wasted no time in taking the lead for good. Quarterback Kevin Lynch (Medfield, Mass.) connected with Nick Mandich (Miami, Fla.) on a 17-yard score to give SCSU its first lead of the day at 25-21.
Leading by four later in the frame, the visitors came through with another key defensive play when Gavin Nelson (Cambridge, Mass.) scooped up a fumble and returned it to the Stonehill 1. Wiechman found the end zone on the next play to extend the lead to 32-21 after a successful PAT from Christopher Hazelton (Bristol, Conn.).
The scoring barrage continued once more in the third quarter when Patrick Collins (Manchester, Conn.) finished off a five-play, 46-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown run.
Lynch hit Jerome Cunningham (Waterbury, Conn.) for a 30-yard touchdown for the only fourth quarter scoring.
It was an interesting start to the contest, as the first three touchdowns of the game were not registered by either offense.
Stonehill’s Stephan Neville returned the game’s opening kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown to make it 7-0 after the PAT. The Owls countered midway through the opening quarter when Josh McWilliams (Paterson, N.J.) corralled an airborne football and took it 24 yards the other way for a tying score.
The Skyhawks went back in front in the final minute of the opening quarter when Neville stripped an Owls’ wide receiver and went 35 yards for a touchdown.
SCSU cut it to 14-13 in the second quarter when Collins scored the first of his two touchdowns on a 1-yard run. However, Stonehill added a score on its next drive to extend its lead to 21-13 at halftime.
However, that would be the final scoring for the hosts on the day, and the Owls took over in the second half.
Lynch finished 15-of-27 for 216 yards and two touchdowns. Wiechman posted a season-high 133 yards on 24 carries and scored twice, while Collins also found the end zone on two occasions. Andre Privott (Middletown, Conn.) led the receivers with seven catches for 110 yards.
The SCSU defense merited just one offensive score – that coming after a successful fake punt gave Stonehill the ball at the Owls’ 8 – and held Eddie Vachon, the Northeast-10’s leading rusher to just 24 yards on 17 carries.
The Owls have a bye next week and return to action on Oct. 6 for a road game at Merrimack.
HAMDEN, Conn. – Before the largest crowd, 3,891, for a non-conference opponent in Quinnipiac’s TD Bank Sports Center history, freshman Kellen Jones (Montrose, B.C.) scored the first two goals of his career to lead the Bobcats to a 3-1 win against Holy Cross. With the win, Quinnipiac (3-1-0) closes out it season opening, four-game home stretch with wins in three of their first four games of the year. Holy Cross drops to 2-3-0 on the year.
The crowd of was the largest in TD Bank Sports Centers history for a non-conference opponent since Nov. 1, 2008 when 3,455 showed up in Hamden for the Bobcats’ game against University of Connecticut. Jones’ two goals marked the first time a Quinnipiac freshman scored twice in a game since D’Arcy Oakes scored twice against Princeton on Jan. 4, 2010. Jones now leads the team in goals (two), assists (three) and points (five) through the Bobcats’ first five games. Dan Clarke (Belleville, Ontario) stopped 22 of 23 shots on goal to improve to 3-1-0 on the season.
Spencer Heichman (Yorba Linda, Calif.) scored his second goal of the year to put the Bobcats on the board 12:33 into the game. Heichman collected a rebound off a shot from Yuri Bouharevich (Montreal, Quebec) from just below the blue line in the Crusaders’ defensive zone. Bouharevich received a pass from assistant captain Mike Glaicar (Kamloops, British Columbia) and sent the puck through traffic. After it bounced off of Holy Cross goalie Thomas Tysowsky’s chest and came to rest in the crease, Heichman was waiting on the doorstep to bang it home and give Quinnipiac a one-goal lead.
Holy Cross’ Mark Znutas tied the game just under four minutes later with his first goal of the season, this one coming on the power play. Holy Cross was 1-for-4 with a man advantage while Quinnipiac failed to convert on four opportunities. Everett Sheen and Adam Schmidt assisted on Znutas’ goal.
Kellen then accounted for the Bobcats next two goals to secure the two-goal win. His first came just 29 seconds into the third period when Glaicar picked up his second assist of the game after he carried the puck over the blue line and found Connor Jones’ (Montrose, British Columbia’s) tape. Connor put a shot on goal that Kellen picked up off the rebound and deposited past Tysowsky to give Quinnipiac a lead. He added an insurance goal at the 9:38 mark with Scott Zurevinski (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) and Zach Davies (Smithers, British Columbia) picking up assists. Davies’ assist was his first of the year.
The Bobcats begin a six-game road trip next weekend when they head to St. Cloud, Minn. to face nationally-ranked No. 14 St. Cloud State in a two-game set on Friday, Oct. 29 and Saturday, Oct. 30, with both games scheduled for a 7 p.m. Quinnipiac then faces Brown in Providence, R.I. on Nov. 5 and Yale in New Haven, Conn. on Nov. 6, both at 7 p.m. The Bobcats round-out their road trip against Cornell on Friday, Nov. 12 and Colgate on Saturday, Nov. 13 before returning home to host Dartmouth on Friday, Nov. 19 and Hartford on Saturday, Nov. 20.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Patrick Witt completed 34 of 54 passes for 331 yards and two scores but his Yale football team dropped a 27-20 game against Penn in a battle of 2-0 Ivy League teams before 22,293 at Yale Bowl.
Pro football is more than just a game it's a way to make a living, a violent way to to earn lots of money. The rules are in place to protect the players and tame competitiveness so the playing field is level. It is an absolute must that the NFL abolish the unnecessary roughness from the gridiron for a couple of reasons. The obvious is the safety of the players and if they NFL wants to continue to promote competitiveness, entertainment and an opportunity to watch some of the fast, strongest and toughest athletes play the sport, it is a must. If the injuries continue at the alarming rate we are seeing parents will shy away from allowing their youngsters from playing and developing. I hope Meriweather can now set a good example of how to play the game.

Welcome to the beginning of the Ancient Eight stretch run. The two Ivy teams that are 4-1 overall and 2-0 in league play square off Saturday at Yale Bowlon the Class of 1954 Field.
By Ray Curren - Elm City Sports Writer -
We had Notre Dame show they might not quite be dead this season. Lyman Hall won again, and appears to be firmly in the playoff race. And Cheshire was stopped near Wilbur Cross’ goal line in a thrilling finish that has the Governors at 4-1, and also firmly in playoff discussions.
So, you’d think the headlines in the paper last Saturday might be about Dontay Long’s winning touchdown, or the Governors avenging last season’s heartbreaking loss in New Haven (one that began Cheshire’s run to the Class LL title).
Instead, plastered across the front page of the New Haven Register was: “Drama off the field.” Inside was a little better explanation, “Acquavita, Ecke’s brother get into verbal altercation at half.”
It got bigger play than the game itself, or anything any Southern Connecticut Conference kid actually did on the field.
The story in a nutshell: Cross coach John Acquavita was talking/arguing with the officials at halftime, something that probably shouldn’t happen, but happens all the time. It’s really the only time a coach can get a referee’s full attention during the course of the game.
As he’s doing this, Mike Ecke — brother of Cheshire coach Mark Ecke and father of quarterback Michael Ecke — told the officials they should throw Acquavita out, also something that shouldn’t happen, but does all the time.
But at some point, Acquavita went toward Ecke, Ecke had to retreat to the bathroom, everyone had to be separated by security, and Ecke was ejected from the premises. No punches were thrown, no one was hurt.
As Monty Python would say, “let’s not argue over who killed who,” there is plenty of blame to go around, and no high school coach should have his picture in the newspaper having to be restrained by one of his own players.
But my focus here is a psychological one. In situations like this, people tend to go after publications like the Register for appealing to the lowest common denominator and not keeping the focus on the positive aspects of high school athletics.
They’re right, of course, but people miss the point sometimes of what newspapers are. To stay in business, newspapers (and all media) need people to read them. The more people that read them, the more they can charge for advertising, and then they can actually make money instead of losing it.
And, somewhat sadly, all anyone wanted to talk about Friday night and Saturday was what happened at halftime of the Cross-Cheshire game.
Right or wrong, it hits on issues that are “hot button”: abusing officials, overbearing parents, basic violence. You want to tell yourself that you’re above talking about such things, but then you can’t really help yourself sometimes.
The Register also had a very good photographer on the scene who took some compelling photos and a reporter who was able to get quotes from all the participants. They did everything they could to be fair. But they knew they had a story that people would want to read, and they did. My job isn’t all that different, to be honest.
There are stories that make national news every day that make me cringe and that I turn away from. But I’m not naive enough to wonder why they’re there. Granted, you have to have some restraint. It is high school football, kids will make mistakes and deserve some latitude.
However, this story was about adults.
To his credit, Ecke apologized afterward, saying, “If I could take it back, I would. I am an idiot. I opened my mouth and I wish I hadn’t.”
And I’ve seen several similar situations to this in my time not go prominently reported. In addition to the Register staff being on the ball here, you also had a rather tough setup at Wilbur Cross, where Cross goes back through the crowd at halftime to get to the locker room, which is adjacent to the bathrooms and the concession stand.
It’s also 2010. Everyone has a camera, everything makes its way onto YouTube.
The Register’s headline on its website the next day (Sunday), was probably more accurate: “Brief disturbance at Cheshire-Cross game.”
The most disappointing part of the whole situation for me was that the Register had few facts on the 18-14 thrilling win by Cross over Cheshire the next day.
The reason: Cross never called in the box score or had any statistics for what Cheshire had done in the game.
Yes, our priorities are out of whack, but don’t blame the messenger. And certainly don’t give the messenger a story under his nose that he knows a lot of people would want to hear about.
ON THE FIELD, PLEASE: In addition to Cross basically eliminating Cheshire from playoff contention, the biggest noise was probably made by Notre Dame, which took previously-unbeaten Hand apart, 38-14, in a game that wasn’t close after the first quarter.
The names that the Green Knights had trouble unleashing this season were are on display: Sean Goldrich, Phil Bentley, Amihr Bess, and Tirrell Young-Williams were all prominent in the box score, and the Tigers spent most of their night chasing them around West Haven.
The million-dollar question halfway through the campaign, though, is whether Notre Dame is doomed in Class L with two losses.
And, obviously the Green Knights can’t worry about such things, but we can speculate. That’s all it is, speculation at this point. Notre Dame currently sits a disheartening 17th in Class L (obviously, only eight will make the postseason), but have the most points of any team with two losses.
You have to figure (especially with North Haven coming this week), that they will be right there with any two-loss squads at the end of the season. Of course, they still have to get by the likes of Wilbur Cross and Cheshire to get that far.
