Monmouth-Saint Francis

The Hawks are rolling now after winning their third straight, and second consecutive NEC game to open league play, over Saint Francis 42-15 on Saturday. David Sinisi ran for a school-record 247 yards in the game on 32 carries (7.7 ypc!!) and scored four rushing TD's. The funny thing about Sinisi's performance is that he could have probably gained about another 50 yards easily, but with the game well in hand got some time to rest late in the 4th quarter.

The Game Ball (something new I'd like to introduce to the blog) goes to the offensive line, who opened up holes so big in the Red Flash defense that I might have been able to run for about 80 yards on Saturday, and only b/c I run about 8.5 40-yard dash. The o-line continued to get the job done, and all the credit in the world goes to Nick LoCastro, Joe Hurley, Andrew Musick, Shawn Wright and Kevin Sterling up front. Also, tight end John Nalbone, who also had a career-high 91 receiving yards, and RB Marion Easley deserve a lot of credit for their job blocking.

That was the best I have personally seen the Hawks look all season, and if it wasnt for a lull in the second quarter, they probably could have scored 60.
