Retaining the NEC Rookie of the Week title he earned for his debut effort, Coles totaled 128 all-purpose yards and found paydirt twice to power the Pioneers to their second consecutive victory. Following a key fumble return by Anthony Mortali, Coles scored the game’s first touchdown on a 35-yard screen pass. The rookie running back provided some cushion with a 10-yard touchdown catch that increased SHU’s lead over Bentley to 14-3 in the third quarter. In addition to making three catches for 52 yards, the Sacred Heart freshman ran three times for 13 yards while contribute heavily on special teams. Coles averaged 26.5 yards on two kickoff returns and brought back one punt for 12 yards.
