Perryman spearheaded a defensive effort that limited Merrimack to only eight first downs. The linebacker totaled eight tackles in the Bulldogs’ 14-7 triumph in North Andover. He forced a second-quarter turnover and a key sack late in the game’s final minutes. After Bryant took a 7-0 first-quarter lead, Perryman blew up Merrimack’s ensuing drive. The linebacker stepped in on a third-down tackle that dropped that ball carrier for a one-yard loss and summoned the punt team onto the field. With Merrimack moving into Bryant territory on a second-quarter possession, Perryman forced a fumble that was recovered by the Bulldogs at their 32-yard line. With Bryant protecting a 14-7 lead late, and Merrimack’s 2:00 minute offense on the field, Perryman dropped the passer for an 8-yard loss on a 2nd-and-6 play.
