Pricolo, the nation’s fourth-leading ground gainer, ran for a career-high 238 yards on 31 carries and added two touchdowns in Sacred Heart’s 30-24, overtime victory against Wagner. The junior’s rushing total was just four yards shy of the NEC record of 242 yards held by Central Connecticut State’s Corey Harge and Albany’s Gary Jones. Pricolo had a 40-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, tying the score at 7-7, and ran for a 31-yarder in the next quarter to give the Pioneers a seven-point advantage at halftime. Pricolo averaged 7.7 yards per carry in the game and is averaging 6.7 yards per carry this season. The Johnston, RI product set a school-record with his fifth consecutive 100-yard rushing game and now needs 240 yards to break the Sacred Heart single-season rushing record of 1,066 yards established by Marvin Royal in 2000.
