FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING A troika of Owls posted their first collegiate touchdowns in the contest against LIU-Post - Mike Howell, Paris Crawford and Sa’id Boykin. Howell and Crawford both hauled in touchdown receptions, while Boykin had a 12-yard touchdown run. DOCKETT GETTING IT DONE Isaiah Dockett has figured in as one of the Owls’ targets at wide receiver throughout his career, but he posted backto-back career games for the Owls against New Haven and LIU-Post. Against New Haven, his five receptions exceeded his previous single-game best of three, while his 102 receiving yards easily eclipsed his old top mark of 48 yards. Then, in the game against LIU-Post, Dockett hauled in six catches for 111 yards with a career-long reception of 64 yards as well. • In the process, Dockett became the first Owl receiver to post consecutive 100-yard games since Devante Jenkins accomplished the feat against Gannon and Stonehill in the first two games of the 2016 campaign. PARKS WITH A BIG RUN Eli Parks’ 73-yard run against LIU-Post was the first Owls’ run of over 70 yards since 2011, when Rashaad Slowley broke a 75-yard scamper against New Haven in 2011. GRIESENAUER A CAMPBELL TROPHY SEMIFINALIST Senior tight end Ryne Griesenauer has been named as a semifinalist for the 2017 Campbell Trophy, as announced by the National Football Foundation. • The NFF will announce 12-14 finalists on Nov. 1, and each of them will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship as a member of the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class, presented by Fidelity Investments. The finalists will travel to New York City for the 60th NFF Annual Awards Dinner on Dec. 5, where their accomplishments will be highlighted in front of one of the most powerful audiences in all of sports. Live during the event, one member of the class will be declared as the winner of the 28th William V. Campbell Trophy® and have his postgraduate scholarship increased to $25,000.

Southern Connecticut State University Football Notes Game 9 Southern Connecticut (3-5, 3-4 NE10) at St. Anselm (1-7, 1-6 NE10) Nov. 4 • 1 p.m. • Manchester, N.H. THE FINAL ROAD GAME AWAITS Winners of two in a row, the Southern Connecticut State University football team plays its final road game of the season on Saturday at St. Anselm. Game time is set for 1 p.m. ALL-TIME VS. ST. ANSELM The Owls lead the all-time series with the Owls by a 14-3 margin. THE LAST MEETING WITH THE HAWKS In a game in which it never trailed, the Southern Connecticut State University football team secured a winning 2016 campaign with a 28-25 victory over St. Anselm on Senior Day. • Raymond Catapano completed 13-of-23 passes for 235 yards and a career-high four passing touchdowns. Running back Vochan Fowler closed with 98 yards on 18 carries. Tight end Ryne Griesenauer had three catches for 56 yards, two of which were touchdown receptions. Kayjuan Bynum had a team-high 11 tackles. • The Owls led by scores of 14-0, 21-3 and 28-10. However, St. Anselm scored the final 15 points of the game and recovered an onside kick in the closing minutes. The Hawks were in Owls’ territory driving for the winning score when Corey Chaffee intercepted a pass and returned it to the Hawks’ 3 with 2:01 left. SCSU ran out the clock from there for the win. LAST TIME OUT Behind a dominating ground attack that amassed 454 yards, the Southern Connecticut State University football team posted a 45-42 win at Bentley for its second win a row. • The 454 yards fell just 23 yards shy of the Owls’ single-game team rushing record. SCSU totaled 477 rushing yards in a win over LIU-Post back during the 1984 season. • Vochan Fowler had a career-high 152 yards on 23 carries, along with two touchdowns. Fellow running back Eli Parks recorded 149 yards on 21 carries, and also found the end zone twice.

FOWLER, PARKS TABBED FOR WEEKLY HONOR ROLL Following their performances in the win over Bentley, Vochan Fowler and Eli Parks were both named to the NE10 weekly honor roll. DOUBLE TROUBLE For the first time since the 2009 season, the Owls have posted a pair of games in which two players rushed for at least 100 yards. Eli Parks and Raymond Catapano accomplished the feat against Stonehill earlier this year, while Parks and Vochan Fowler did the same in the win over Bentley. SCSU actually accomplished the feat three times in 2009 - in the games against Pace, New Haven and Saint Anselm. HALL MOVES ATOP THE CHARTS Thanks to a fine afternoon in which he totaled four kickoff returns for 113 yards, senior Shaquan Hall moved past former teammate John Moscatel for the top spot in SCSU history in both kickoff returns and kickoff return yardage. Hall now has 60 career returns for 1,257 yards, which eclipsed Moscatel’s career totals of 56 returns and 1,237 yards.

FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING A troika of Owls posted their first collegiate touchdowns in the contest against LIU-Post - Mike Howell, Paris Crawford and Sa’id Boykin. Howell and Crawford both hauled in touchdown receptions, while Boykin had a 12-yard touchdown run. DOCKETT GETTING IT DONE Isaiah Dockett has figured in as one of the Owls’ targets at wide receiver throughout his career, but he posted backto-back career games for the Owls against New Haven and LIU-Post. Against New Haven, his five receptions exceeded his previous single-game best of three, while his 102 receiving yards easily eclipsed his old top mark of 48 yards. Then, in the game against LIU-Post, Dockett hauled in six catches for 111 yards with a career-long reception of 64 yards as well. • In the process, Dockett became the first Owl receiver to post consecutive 100-yard games since Devante Jenkins accomplished the feat against Gannon and Stonehill in the first two games of the 2016 campaign. PARKS WITH A BIG RUN Eli Parks’ 73-yard run against LIU-Post was the first Owls’ run of over 70 yards since 2011, when Rashaad Slowley broke a 75-yard scamper against New Haven in 2011. GRIESENAUER A CAMPBELL TROPHY SEMIFINALIST Senior tight end Ryne Griesenauer has been named as a semifinalist for the 2017 Campbell Trophy, as announced by the National Football Foundation. • The NFF will announce 12-14 finalists on Nov. 1, and each of them will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship as a member of the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class, presented by Fidelity Investments. The finalists will travel to New York City for the 60th NFF Annual Awards Dinner on Dec. 5, where their accomplishments will be highlighted in front of one of the most powerful audiences in all of sports. Live during the event, one member of the class will be declared as the winner of the 28th William V. Campbell Trophy® and have his postgraduate scholarship increased to $25,000.
