Roussel made three interceptions to lead a swarming Sacred Heart defense that pitched a shutout at Patriot League member Bucknell.  The cornerback made three tackles and became the first player in Sacred Heart’s Division I history to pick off three passes in the same game.  With his help, Sacred Heart limited the Bison to 164 yards and blanked an opponent for the first time since October 5, 2002.  Roussel’s first interception came with Bucknell driving late in the first half. On a 1st-ando-10 play from Sacred Heart’s 40-yard line, Roussel pulled in Trey Lauleta’s pass at his own 25.  The senior denied Bucknell again on its first possession of the second half, picking off a deep ball in the end zone.  His final interception allowed SHU to set up in victory formation and ice their fifth straight win.
