Sexton spearheaded Sacred Heart’s suffocating defensive performance at Dartmouth and added to his NEC-leading tackles total in the process. The junior linebacker contributed a game-high 13 tackles, including eight solo stops, to an effort that limited the Big Green’s offense to three points over the course of the 27-10 victory (Dartmouth’s lone TD came on a KO return).  The 6-foot-3 Sexton limited the opposing ball carrier to no more than a one-yard gain on six of his tackles.  Sexton logged his lone tackle for a loss with Sacred Heart nursing a 20-10 lead early in the fourth quarter.  He dropped Brian Grove for a loss of two on a 2nd-down play, helping derail Dartmouth’s drive before it was able to get started.  Sexton leads the Northeast Conference in total tackles (68), solo tackles (46) and tackles per game average (11.3/g).
