Gallaudet scored three first half touchdowns and held off a late Mustang charge to hand Mount Ida their first conference defeat 29-22. The Bison gained 222 yards on the ground and picked off Mount Ida quarterback Scott Drosendahl four times in the victory.
Castleton remained unbeaten in conference play with a 34-14 road win at Husson. Spartan wide receiver Brandon Boyle caught eight passes for 194 yards and three touchdowns. Castleton will host one-loss Mount Ida next Saturday in Vermont with the winner claiming the ECFC title and NCAA automatic berth.
A balanced rushing attack led Becker to a 27-7 win against visiting Anna Maria. Becker junior quarterback Robert Baker threw for three touchdowns and five Hawks carried the ball, netting 261 rushing yards.
Saturday's matchup in Northfield, Vermont between
Norwich and Maritime has been postponed. A makeup date has not yet
been determined. Maritime's campus was evacuated prior to
Hurricane Sandy and the campus was flooded. Students will not be
able to return until Sunday.
