NOTES

• The Owls are coming off an 18-16 loss at Pace last week. In that game, Tylon Papallo (Meriden, Conn.) led the Owls offense with 175 total yards on offensive. The first-year Owl's day was highlighted by a 47-yard touchdown run out of the Wildcat while also adding a 33-yard touchdown catch. He totaled 42 yards on three carries and 150 yards on five catches. 
• For the season, Papallo has totaled 666 total yards on offense, including 561 receiving and 105 rushing.
• Papallo currently ranks sixth in the NE10 in receiving yards (561) and is one of four receivers in the conference to average 70-or-more (70.1) yards per game.
• Papallo, and Stonehill's Domercant, are the only two receivers in the conference averaging 20 yards per reception, with Domercant at 21.4 and Papallo at 20.0.
• Papallo has also recorded five touchdown catches.
• Out of the Wildcat formation, Papallo has scored three more touchdowns while racking up 105 yards on 14 carries for a 7.5 yard per carry average.
• The Owls' do-everything offensive weapon earned NE10 Offensive Player of the Week honors after becoming the first student-athlete in SCSU history to pass for a touchdown, catch a touchdown and rush for a touchdown in the same game.
• Not surprising, after running for a touchdown and catching a touchdown against Pace last week, he is the first Owls' player to accomplish the feat in back-to-back games.
• Papallo has now compiled 412 yards on offense with six touchdowns in his last three games.
• Izaiah Sanders ranks fourth in the NE10 with 599 yards on 46 catches with five touchdowns.
• Sanders is averaging 66.6 yards per game and 13.0 yards per reception.
• Sanders and Papallo make the Owls the only team with two receivers with 550 yards or more in the NE10.

• The first-year Owl has compiled 462 yards on 86 carries for 5.4 yards per carry and one touchdown.
• Szymon Gawlick's converted field goal attempt against Pace was his 10^th of the season and made him the fourth Owls' kicker in program history, joining Dale Goodknight (11), Chris Hazelton & Charles Gallagher (10), to reach the century mark.
• Gawlick missed his second attempt of the game, which would have tied Goodknight for the program's single-season record. It was also Gawlick's first missed field goal attempt of the season.
• Freshman quarterback Marc Reali currently ranks eighth in the NE10 with 792 passing yards and is 66-for-113 (58.4%) for the year. Reali also has four touchdown passes, and just one interception, in three starts.
• Shawn Martin had a pair of big kick-off returns for the Owls, including a season-best 60-yard kickoff return with one man to beat between him and the end zone. He also added a 30-yard return in the fourth quarter.
• Martin's 28 kick-off returns are the third most in program history while his 658 total kickoff return yards is the second-most in program history, passing Kendall Thomas' 637 yards in 2016. John Moscatel holds the record with 820 return yards in 2013.
• On defense against Pace, Kwadir Delgado-McIntyre (Hamden, Conn.) led the Owls with eight tackles and also intercepted a pass on Pace's last play of the first half. He also broke-up a Hail Mary bid by the Setters.
