WORCESTER, Mass. --- Quarterback Charlie Granatell threw for 267 yards and four touchdowns and scored another to lead Bryant University past Assumption College, 45-21, in a Northeast-10 Conference game Saturday.

Tight end Alex Chaparro was on the receiving end of three touchdown passes, while the conference's leading rusher, Lorenzo Perry, rushed 24 times for 124 yards and scored a touchdown.

The Greyhounds will host Northeast-10 Conference rival Bentley College Saturday as part of Family Weekend festivities. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. In other sports action that day the women's volleyball team hosts NE-10 rival LeMoyne College at 11 a.m.

For the Greyhounds, freshman quarterback MARSHALL THARPE (Irvine, CA/Santa Magarita) completed 14-of-28 passes for 174 yards and three touchdowns---two to junior wide out JAKE BEERS (Duxbury, MA/Duxbury), who ended with five receptions for 81 yards.

The Bulldogs got on the scoreboard first driving an amazing 99 yards in 11 plays in the first period. Hounds junior punter JUSTIN ANTONE (Dracut, MA/Bishop Guertin) rolled a career-high 66-yard punt inside the one.

Granatell found wide receiver Sean Bergin on a third-and-six play extricating his team from the shadow of the goal posts to the 36. Other highlights in the march included a 25-yard run by Perry to the Hounds 28 and a Granatell-to-wide receiver Ryan Buckley 25-yard completion to the 13. Three Perry rushes---the last for 10 yards---capped the drive.
The ensuing kickoff was downed at the Hounds 47 by sophomore DAN HICKEY (Auburn, MA/Auburn). Tharpe fired a 42-yard touchdown pass to a wide open junior tight end JAKE LONGENECKER (Fernandina, FL/Manchester, NH West) on the third play on a post pattern. Senior placekicker MIKE TOBIN (Woburn, MA/Woburn) kicked the tying conversion.

Cornerback Chris Wohlheter intercepted Tharpe to start the go-ahead drive. Perry rushed five times for 44 yards---including a dazzling 27 yarder to the three. On the third-down play from the 16, Granatell overthrew wide receiver Chris Arnold in the end zone with Hounds senior defensive end JOSH KELLY (Canton, MA/Xaverian) applying the pressure. Bob Heilmann kicked a 33-yard field goal to cap the drive for a 10-7 advantage.

The Bulldogs would extend the lead to 17-7 at the half as Granatell found Chapparo on a 12-yard scoring pass with 3:53 left in the second period.

The Hounds struck quickly converting the first series of the second half. Tharpe found Beers on a 38-yard sideline pattern for the touchdown and Tobin kicked the conversion to cut the gap to three (17-14). Granatell wasted little time answering with a 47-yard touchdown pass to wide out Justin Kix (4 receptions for 101 yards), to make it 24-14.

And, the Greyhounds came right back again as Tharpe found Beers in the back of the endzone for six yards and a score. Tobin's conversion made it a three point game (24-21) after three periods.

Senior Vincent Norris returned the kickoff 35 yards to midfield to set up the next score. Granatell found Kix for 19 yards and Chapparo for 15 and a touchdown to highlight the drive. Heilmann's conversion made it 31-21.

Granatell rushed seven yards for another score and with just 19 seconds left in the game threw for another, again to Chapparo for 13 yards.

Hall of Famer FRANK VANA '86 Wins Mass Mid-Amateur Golf Again!
Greyhounds Hall of Famer FRANK VANA '86 of Boylston, MA and Marlboro Country Club, made history September 20 when he ran away with the Massachusetts Mid-Amateur by seven strokes at the Weston Golf Club.

He joined legendary Frederick J. Wright as the only players in the 103 year history of the Mass. Golf Association to win the same MGA title seven times. Wright won the Mass. Amateur in 1920, 1926, 1928-31 and 1938. Vana, who is on his way to his eighth MGA Player-of-the-Year award, also captured the Mid-Am in 1999-2003 and 2005. He has won 12 MGA championships in his career.

His margin of victory was the largest in the 23-year history of the event, besting his six-stroke win in 2003 when the event was increased to 54 holes. He shot a 4-under 68 to finish the tourney at 8-under.

He opened his round with two straight birdies and made the turn at 3 under 33. His birdie on the 163-yard, par-3 10th hole pushed his lead to eight strokes. Vana made his only bogey of the day on the 11th hole, but he followed it with six straight pars, then finished with a birdie on the 492-yard, par-5 18th hole.
