FOOTBALL: late TD halts Hounds at S. Connecticut
FIELD HOCKEY: stops No. 4 ranked Stonehill, 2-0

WORCESTER, Mass. --- Quarterback Steve Armstrong threw a touchdown pass---his second of the game---to wide receiver Chris Bergeski---his second of the game---with 23 seconds left as Southern Connecticut rallied to defeat the Greyhounds, 26-24, in a wild Northeast-10 Conference game Friday night at Jess Dow Field.

Highlights for the Greyhounds included freshman running back JAREL CAPERS (Bridgeport, CT/Notre Dame) scoring his first two collegiate touchdowns and rushing for 75 yards on 14 carries . . . a career-best 12 catches (third-best in Hounds' history) by junior JAKE BEERS (Duxbury, MA/Duxbury) who now has 89 in his career (tying Kyle Yermalovich '03 for third-place on the career list) and becoming the sixth Hound to reach 1,000 yards for a career (1,040 to date).

The Greyhounds host American International College SATURDAY, October 14, 2006 as part of Fall Homecoming Weekend. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. The game will be video cast by the Northeast-10 Conference TV network (www.ne10.tv) and live-stats will be provided on line (www.assumptiongreyhounds.com).

The women's soccer team hosts Saint Michael's College FRIDAY at 7 p.m., while field hockey hosts Saint Michael's SUNDAY at 2 p.m. and men's tennis hosts Saint Michael's SUNDAY at 12 noon.

The annual Midnight Madness opening for basketball season practice is slated for SATURDAY night at 10 p.m. and the Alumni-Athletics Hall of Fame Induction Dinner is also SATURDAY at 6:30 p.m. in the Hagan Campus Center.

Highlights for Southern Connecticut included a superb performance by Armstrong as he completed 19-of-26 passes for 185 yards . . . wide out Tyron Marshall, who caught six passes for 108 yards . . . and running back Brandon Toles, who rushed 26 times for 121 yards.

The Greyhounds who trailed 14-2 entering the fourth period scored three touchdowns to move to a 24-20 lead with 3:33 left.

After freshman wide out DAVID CANNEY (Templeton, MA/Narragansett) made a sensational grab for a five-year TD to put the Greyhounds ahead he made a thundering tackle on the ensuing kickoff at the 20. However the Owls would drive 80 yards in 12 plays to retake the lead.Armstrong connected with Marshall for 17 yards and then found tight end Tom Cerny for 17 more to highlight the drive. Bergeski caught the game-winner on a touch pass over-the-top in the back corner of the end zone. The conversion kick failed leaving the Owls in front by two.

Southern Connecticut led 7-2 at the half as Bergeski caught a 24-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Chris Roberts with 11:52 left in the half. Roberts' conversion made it 7-0.

The first half was frustrating for the Greyhounds as they did not capitalize on three scoring chances in the red zone. They drove to the Owls 21 only to have two passes go incomplete and surrender on downs . . . they drove inside the Owls one, only to turn it over on downs after senior STEVE PRATT (Braintree, MA/Braintree) and sophomore DAN HICKEY (Auburn, MA/Auburn) combined to block a punt at the 11 . . . and, finally, they blocked a second punt---by freshman JORDAN BELLIVEAU (Millbury, MA/Millbury)---into the end zone only to have the ball squirt out of the end zone for a safety.

The Owls would score the only touchdown in the third period driving 49 yards in eight plays after tailback Marlon Thornton returned the kickoff 36 yards to the Assumption 49. Armstrong connected with Marshall for 19 yards to the 16 on pass over-the middle to highlight the drive. He then found wide receiver Marcus Ganthier over the-middle again for the score from five yards out. Martin Gerrety kicked the conversion for a 14-2 lead.

The Greyhounds drove 85 yards in 12 plays --- freshman quarterback MARSHALL THARPE (Irvine, CA/Santa Magarita) completed five passes to Beers on the drive for 22, six, five, five and 21 yards --- before Capers darted around right end for the score unscathed. Senior MIKE TOBIN (Woburn, MA/Woburn) kicked the conversion to make it 14-9.

On the ensuing kickoff senior linebacker MARK CINAR (Watertown, MA/Watertown) forced and then recovered a fumble at the Southern 29. Capers scampered the final 18 yards for the score and then Tharpe hit Beers for a two-point conversion and 17-14 Assumption advantage.

The Owls however came right back driving 69 yards in 15 plays as fullback Craig Toulouse rambled the final six yard. Gerety's conversion failed leaving it 20-17 Owls in command.

Then it was the Greyhounds turn as Tharpe fired a five-yard touchdown strike to Canney---all three Greyhound touchdowns were scored by freshmen---to cap a 73-yard drive in six plays. Tobin kicked the conversion for a 24-20 lead.

LAST YEAR WITH AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL: the Yellow Jackets Derek Bird returned a blocked punt 12 yards for a touchdown in the second period and Mitchell Belanger kicked the decisive conversion point as American International literally slipped past the Greyhounds (7-6) at muddy Miller Field.

The Greyhounds lone score in the game came as strong safety GINO MECCARIELLO (Southington, CT/Southington) stripped Yellow Jacket's tailback Keyon Council and rambled 35 yards for a touchdown. The conversion attempt was blocked. Meccariello is the only player in Hounds' football history to return two fumbles for touchdowns having returned one a record 63 yards vs. Merrimack (11/08/03). The Greyhounds have had only three in their history.

Because of the field conditions and constant driving rain the game became a defensive struggle with the Greyhounds managing just 87 yards total offense and the Jackets 162. The Greyhound defense did stop the Yellow Jackets all five times they entered the 'red zone.' The teams combined to make just six of 31 third-down situations and none of eight fourth-down attempts.

Defensively the Greyhounds had three players reach double figures in tackles as free safety PETER MILLIGAN (Melrose, MA/Melrose) led all tacklers with 7-5- 12 with two for loss. Senior linebacker CHRIS GROGAN (Scottsdale, AZ/Brophy Prep) ended with 6-4--10 tackles---his fifth straight double figure performance and six of seven games played. Grogan now has 311 career tackles---three behind Brian Kelly (1979-82), the present Central Michigan University head coach in fourth place. Meccariello also had 5-5--10 tackles---giving him 195 for his career. ASSUMPTION COLLEGE TWO-DEEP

HOUNDS UPSET #4 STONEHILL: postgraduate goalkeeper BRANDI GUERTIN (Bellingham, MA/Bellingham) turned away 11 shots and freshman forward SARAH RANIERI (Bellingham, MA/Bellingham) and sophomore JILL HUGHES (Brownsville, VT/Windsor) each scored first-half goals as Assumption College stopped No. 4 ranked and first-place Stonehill College, 2-0, in a Northeast 10 Conference field hockey upset Wednesday at the Multi-Sport Stadium.

The Skyhawks, who were leading the Northeast-10 Conference, were ranked fourth in the latest (October 3, 2006 release) STX/National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division II poll. The Greyhounds are now 4-8 overall and 4-6 in the conference, while Stonehill drops to 7-3 and 5-2.
Ranieri opened the scoring for the Greyhounds taking a feed from Hughes, the Northeast-10 Conference leader in assists with six, and sliding a shot past Skyhawks goalkeeper Dani Ryder at 30:38. The goal was the first in Ranieri's career.

Less than two minutes later the Greyhounds struck again as Hughes converted a pass from freshman midfielder MICHELLE PASQUALE (Shrewsbury, MA/Shrewsbury) for her fourth goal of the season and a 2-0 advantage at 32:37.

Guertin made it stand up with her finest performance in a Greyhound uniform and posted her first career shutout. Stonehill leads the Northeast-10 Conference in offense, averaging 2.76 goals per game. Ryder made two saves in goal for the Skyhawks.
