HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Stonehill took a 7-0 lead just four minutes into the game when Anton Stoneking connected with Casey Gervais on a 15-yard touchdown pass.
  • Matt Haite converted on a 26-yard field goal to give the Skyhawks a 10-0 lead in the closing minute of the first quarter.
  • Stoneking scored on a nine-yard scramble to give Stonehill a 17-0 lead before passing for his second touchdown of the first half on a 39-yard pass to Zac Pungitore.
  • Haite then converted on a 32-yard attempt to give the Skyhawks a 27-0 lead heading into halftime.
  • Coming out of the half, Southern stopped Stonehill on its first drive as Juncaj nailed Stoneking to force a fumble that was recovered by Souffrant. Swain-Price put the Owls on the board with a 35-yard touchdown reception before Gavin Toth's extra-point attempt was blocked to cut Stonehill's lead to 27-6.
  • After Stonehill's Justin Felder broke free for a 65-yard touchdown run, Ostrowksy delivered a 35-yard strike to Amodeo to cap a nine-play, 75-yard drive.
  • Felder scored again on a one-yard run to push Stonehill's lead to 41-13, before Izaiah Sanders scored on a 90-yard touchdown pass from Ostrowksy.
