2016 Southern Connecticut State University Football Game 7 Southern Connecticut (3-3, 3-2 Northeast-10) vs. No. 14 LIU-Post (6-0, 5-0 Northeast-10) Oct. 15, 2016 • 12 p.m. • New Haven, Conn.
RANKED FOE COMES CALLING TO JESS DOW Coming off a 19-point win over Pace last time out, the Southern Connecticut State University football team will face its second nationally ranked opponent of the year as No. 14 LIU-Post visits Jess Dow Field. Game time is set for 12 p.m. ALL-TIME VS. LIU-POST Southern Connecticut has a 15-11-1 advantage in the all-time series between the schools. THE LAST MEETING WITH LIU-POST Trailing 49-24 in the fourth quarter, the Owls scored the final 22 points of the game but came up just short in a 49-46 loss at LIU-Post on Oct. 31, 2015. • Robert Nittolo set a new SCSU single-game record with 51 attempts, breaking the old mark of 50 set by Kevin Dickinson against Stony Brook in 2000. He was 25-of-51 for 352 yards and three touchdowns. • Robert Thomas rushed 25 times for 124 yards and three touchdowns. Devante Jenkins tallied seven catches for 128 yards and two touchdowns, all team-highs. LAST TIME OUT The Southern Connecticut State University football team scored the final 20 points of the game en route to a 3516 victory over Pace in Northeast-10 Conference play on Saturday. • Junior quarterback Raymond Catapano completed 13-of-21 passes for 164 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed 16 times for 59 yards and another score. Running back Vochan Fowler broke the century mark for the second straight game with 138 yards on 26 carries and also returned an interception 26 yards for a score on a botched Pace fake punt attempt. FOWLER NAMED TO WEEKLY HONOR ROLL Vochan Fowler was named to the Northeast-10 Conference weekly honor roll for his play in the win over Pace. A WELL-TIMED ENTRY Robert Nittolo threw a touchdown in his lone passing attempt in the win over Pace - a 17-yard connection with Mark Thomas. EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED Vochan Fowler’s interception return for a touchdown was the first for the Owls since 2014, when Brian Wilcox accomplished the feat in a win over Stonehill.

THOMAS MAKING HIS WAY UP THE CHART Kendall Thomas may well set a new Southern Connecticut’s single-season kickoff return yardage record against LIU-Post. He’s currently fourth all-time in that department with 495 return yards so far on the season, but stands just 46 yards shy of setting a new mark.

CATAPANO EARNS WEEKLY HONOR Raymond Catapano was named to the Northeast-10 weekly honor roll for his play against UNH. ETCHING HIS NAME IN THE RECORD BOOK With his 46 passing attempts against UNH, Raymond Catapano registered the fourth-highest single-game effort in that category in school history. FOWLER OVER THE CENTURY MARK Redshirt sophomore Vochan Fowler set a new career-high with 103 rushing yards on 16 carries against New Haven. It was his first game as a collegian over 100 yards on the ground. MYERS MARCHING FORWARD Sophomore wide receiver Earl Myers has already surpassed his reception and receiving yard totals from his rookie year. Myers is currently second on the team with 17 catches and 238 receiving yards. NEW YEAR, SAME RESULTS FOR CERISANO After missing most of last year with an injury, senior Michael Cerisano is back in a familiar place - leading the Owls’ in tackles. He had 98 to lead the club in 2014 and is tops on the team with 42 through the first five games. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS WIN BY ONE It had been five years since the Owls were on the winning end of a one-point decision. Coincidentally, that last triumph also came over AIC on Oct. 22, 2011. In that game, quarterback Kevin Lynch hit wide receiver Willie Epps for their third touchdown connection of the day with just three seconds left, as the Owls rallied from down 12 with under five minutes to play to claim a 48-47 victory.

A VERY BUSY SECONDARY The Owls totaled four interceptions as a team in the win over AIC - three by Justin Potts and one by Brandon Martin. The last time the Owls had registered four interceptions in a game was Oct. 25, 2014 in a victory at Stonehill. POTTS HAS A DAY FOR THE BOOKS Justin Potts became the first Owl in eight years to register three interceptions in a game with his performance against AIC. Kyle Sandberg had been the last to do so in the 2008 season opener, at win at West Virginia Wesleyan. POTTS EARNS WEEKLY HONORS Justin Potts was named as both the Northeast-10 Conference and the ECAC Defensive Player of the Week for his play in the win over AIC. JENKINS SCORING IN BIG SPOTS Devante Jenkins ranked among the NCAA leaders a season ago with 15 touchdown receptions in his first year as an Owl. This year, he continues to lead the club in all major receiving categories and his three of his four touchdowns have been big ones - the game-winning scores in triumphs over Stonehill, AIC and Pace. CATAPANO PROVIDES A SPARK Raymond Catapano has seen plenty of time under center in his three years as an Owl and was selected to the Northeast-10 All-Rookie Team as a freshman. Last year, he came off the bench to engineer a victory against Pace, and he did the same in the win over AIC on Sept. 23. Catapano completed 3-of-4 passes for 40 yards and also rushed for 17 yards on the eventual game-winning drive against the Yellow Jackets. PARKS PROVES VERSATILE Running back Eli Parks totaled 107 all-purpose yards in the win over AIC with career-highs of 68 yards (12 carries) rushing and 39 yards (two catches) receiving. SPEEDING TO A DAY FOR THE AGES Wide receiver/kickoff returner Kendall Thomas had a night to remember in the win over Stonehill. He set a new Northeast-10 Conference record with 246 kickoff return yards. The old mark of 215 was set by Stonehill’s Tom O’Connell in 2001. Thomas had three returns greater than 40 yards, including a 98-yard touchdown return.

IN THE MIX With a few bounces here or there, the Owls’ overall record could have been a lot different in 2015. SCSU lost four games (Gannon, Bentley, LIU-Post and Merrimack) by a combined 16 points. In addition, the Owls led in the fourth quarter of the losses to Assumption and Merrimack and were tied in the fourth quarter of the loss to New Haven. NEAR THE TOP IN TIME OF POSSESSION Southern Connecticut ranked No. 6 in Division II in time of possession in 2015. The Owls hung on to the ball for an average of 33:44 a game. A BIG IMPACT ON A NATIONAL STAGE Devante Jenkins certainly made his presence felt in his first year as an Owl. His 15 touchdown receptions were No. 4 in Division II in that category. SCHOOL RECORD BOOK SEES SOME SHIFTING The 2015 campaign provided several notable efforts: Devante Jenkins • Registered second-highest single-game receptions total (11, at Bentley) • Posted third-highest single-season reception total (66 record - 68) • Registered second-best single-season touchdown reception figure (15 - record - 17) Robert Nittolo • Posted top-two single-game marks for total offense plays - 65, vs. Assumption and 63, vs. LIU-Post (old record - 60) • Set new single-game record for total offense (442 yards, vs. Assumption) • Second-highest single-game passes completed total (28, vs. Assumption) • Third-highest single-game passes attempted total (49, vs. Assumption) • Set new single-season record for total offense plays (442) • Notched third-highest single-season total for passes attempted (337)
