SPEARS, CATAPANO LAUDED BY NE10 Two members of the Southern Connecticut State University football team – junior David Spears, Jr. and senior Raymond Catapano – were recognized by the NE10 for their play in the Owls’ 28-9 win over Merrimack on Homecoming. Spears was named the league’s Defensive Player of the Week, while Catapano was named to the weekly honor roll. ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT RELEASES NEW LOGO In conjunction with the 2017 Homecoming Weekend festivities, the Southern Connecticut State University athletic department announced a redesign of its Owl logo, effective Oct. 21, 2017.

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.

CATAPANO, PARKS HONORED Raymond Catapano was named to the NE10 weekly honor roll for his play against Stonehill, while Eli Parks was tabbed as the SCSU/Chick-fil-A of North Haven Male Athlete of the Week for his efforts. IMPACTING FROM DAY ONE True freshman Zhyaire Fernandes joined an exclusive club with two touchdowns in his Owls’ and collegiate debut. He became the first true SCSU freshman since Greg Douglas in 1998 to find the end zone in his first game as an Owl. Douglas had an 86-yard touchdown run in the opener against Stony Brook that season. • Two other players accomplished the feat more recently in their redshirt freshman seasons. Brandon Toles hauled in an 80-yard touchdown reception in his first game on the field for SCSU in 2004, and Kofi Wilson did the same three years earlier in 2001. NEWCOMERS GETTING A LOOK In total, eight true freshmen saw the field for the Owls in the season opener against Gannon. In addition to Zhyaire Fernandes’ efforts that were noted earlier, Jaron Cogdell rushed nine times for 24 yards and Jose Conde connected on both of his extra points. A.J. Pearl, Sharayad Letellier, Charles Ritchel, Bobby Valeri and Andrew Wille also played for the Owls. CONSISTENT CONDE Freshman Jose Conde has hit on 30 of his 31 extra points, along with all three of his field goal attempts, over the first nine games for the Owls. FERNANDES NAMED TO WEEKLY HONOR ROLL Zhyaire Fernandes earned a spot on the NE10 weekly honor roll for his play in the season opener against Gannon. THE CAPTAINS Southern Connecticut State University football coach Tom Godek has announced team captains for the 2017 season.

GROUND ATTACK FINDING THE END ZONE The Owls have registered back-to-back games with two rushers finding the end zone twice. Eli Parks and Vochan Fowler did the trick against Bentley, while Parks and Raymond Catapano accomplished the feat against Saint Anselm. OWLS LOOKING TO CLOSE OUT STRONG A win over Pace on Saturday would give the Owls their fourth consecutive win, the team’s longest streak since the 2011 season. 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.

SPEARS, CATAPANO LAUDED BY NE10 Two members of the Southern Connecticut State University football team – junior David Spears, Jr. and senior Raymond Catapano – were recognized by the NE10 for their play in the Owls’ 28-9 win over Merrimack on Homecoming.

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.

SPEARS SACKS THE JACKETS David Spears, Jr. notched three sacks in the game against American International back on Sept. 22.

CATAPANO, PARKS HONORED Raymond Catapano was named to the NE10 weekly honor roll for his play against Stonehill, while Eli Parks was tabbed as the SCSU/Chick-fil-A of North Haven Male Athlete of the Week for his efforts. IMPACTING FROM DAY ONE True freshman Zhyaire Fernandes joined an exclusive club with two touchdowns in his Owls’ and collegiate debut. He became the first true SCSU freshman since Greg Douglas in 1998 to find the end zone in his first game as an Owl. Douglas had an 86-yard touchdown run in the opener against Stony Brook that season. • Two other players accomplished the feat more recently in their redshirt freshman seasons. Brandon Toles hauled in an 80-yard touchdown reception in his first game on the field for SCSU in 2004, and Kofi Wilson did the same three years earlier in 2001. NEWCOMERS GETTING A LOOK In total, eight true freshmen saw the field for the Owls in the season opener against Gannon. In addition to Zhyaire Fernandes’ efforts that were noted earlier, Jaron Cogdell rushed nine times for 24 yards and Jose Conde connected on both of his extra points. A.J. Pearl, Sharayad Letellier, Charles Ritchel, Bobby Valeri and Andrew Wille also played for the Owls. CONSISTENT CONDE Freshman Jose Conde has hit on 30 of his 31 extra points, along with all three of his field goal attempts, over the first nine games for the Owls. FERNANDES NAMED TO WEEKLY HONOR ROLL Zhyaire Fernandes earned a spot on the NE10 weekly honor roll for his play in the season opener against Gannon. THE CAPTAINS Southern Connecticut State University football coach Tom Godek has announced team captains for the 2017 season.
