Dorsey accounted for four tackles, three pass break-ups, and a game-changing defensive touchdown in Central Connecticut State’s 24-12 victory over intrastate NEC rival Sacred Heart.  The senior defensive back preserved the Blue Devils’ fourth-quarter lead by intercepting a pass in the end zone and returning it for a touchdown.  The 100-yard return, which gave CCSU a two-touchdown lead with 2:24 remaining in the game, stands as the longest in program history.  Two of his pass break-ups came in the final quarter of play.  Dorsey’s four passes defended helped limit the usually-accurate Dale Fink to 17-of-38 passing.
