LIU 24, CENTRAL CONNECTICUT 21
In a back-and-forth battle, LIU delivered the final blow by way of a quarterback-to-quarterback touchdown to score a thrilling 24-21 home win over Central Connecticut in Brookville on Saturday. Redshirt sophomore and starting signal caller Ethan Greenwood, who threw a pair of first-half touchdowns, caught a 26-yard pass from classmate Luca Stanzani to secure the Sharks’ second triumph in NEC play.

DUQUESNE 48, STONEHILL 34
Graduate students John Erby and Joey Isabella combined for 256 receiving yards and a trio of touchdown catches to extend Duquesne’s win streak and lead their team to a commanding 48-34 victory. Throwing for five touchdowns for the second time this season, senior Darius Perrantes compiled 412 yards in the air — the sixth-most by an FCS signal caller this season — to propel the Dukes past the Skyhawks for the first time in program history.

ROBERT MORRIS 17, SAINT FRANCIS U 0
Limiting Saint Francis U to 61 rushing yards and 69 receiving yards, Robert Morris pitched its second shutout of 2024 and improved to 3-0 in the conference for the second straight season as an NEC member on Saturday with a 17-0 triumph inside Joe Walton Stadium. It marked the first time since 1999 that the Colonials shut out multiple opponents in the same season.

Sacred Heart 31, MERCYHURST 14
Sacred Heart scored three times in the first half and never looked back as the Pioneers defeated visiting Mercyhurst by a 31-14 final on Saturday. Senior Adam Urena threw for 229 yards, a pair of touchdowns and zero interceptions as the Lakers held a 229-141 advantage in passing yards in the contest. 

UMass 35, WAGNER 7
Wagner dropped a 35-7 decision in non-conference action at FBS and MAC opponent UMass on Saturday. The Seahawks enjoyed a dominant third quarter that saw them rack up 121 yards on a 75-yard touchdown drive and a 46-yard drive to the UMass seven-yard line, but the Minutemen, who opened the game with 21-straight points, closed out the afternoon with a pair of scores in the final quarter.
