SCSU Football Falls To Pace In Final Home Game

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Southern Connecticut State University football lost to Pace, 39-14, in the Owls' final home game of the season. With the loss, the Owls dropped to 4-5 overall and 2-4 in the NE10 while Pace improved to 6-3 overall and 5-1 in conference play.

Southern started the way it wanted. Quarterback Brandon Jorgensen engineered a five-play, 65-yard opening drive, capped by a 6-yard touchdown pass to AJ Robinson with 12:56 left in the first quarter. Daniel Benzi's extra point made it 7-0 Owls, and for a moment, momentum sat with the home team.



Pace cut the deficit to 7-3 with a 28-yard field goal at the 9:58 mark of the first, finishing a six-play, 58-yard drive. From there, Pace took control, scoring twice in the second quarter to head into the break with a 17-7 lead.

In the 4th, trailing 39-7, Southern showed some late fight. Owls quarterback Brandon Jorgensen, who finished 19-of-36 for 219 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions despite three sacks, led an eight-play, 68-yard drive late in the fourth. He connected with Mike Strachan on a 6-yard touchdown with 3:38 left, and Benzi's kick cut the final to 39-14.

Andres Perez led Southern with six catches for 85 yards, while Isaac Lynch added four grabs for 48 yards. Robinson finished with three catches for 39 yards and the opening score, and Strachan had two catches for 20 yards and a touchdown.

Defensively, Emeka Yearwood led the Owls with nine total tackles, five solo. Julani Graham added six stops.

Southern will look to bounce back in its season finale when it travels to Springfield, Mass. to face American International on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 1 p.m.
