Sunday after the Towson Game -Oct 3rd,2010

The UMass defense dominated Towson on a clear and cool night. The defense held the Tigers to 11 first downs and 263 yards of total offense.

Towson scored on a fumble by Kyle Havens in our own endzone, and then on a fumble by Hernandez on the UMass five yard line. Towson was up 14-7 and I believe they had one first down at that time.

Tyler Holmes and Mike Mele had 16 and 13 TT each. I think it was Shane Viveiros who had the fourth down goal line stand tackle.

The offense had a wonderful 97 yard drive in the last three minutes of the first half to take the lead.

The Tiger's team was less welcoming as they had three personal fouls including a chop block on a UMass defensive lineman that had the Minutemen defense fired up.

UNH lost to Maine, which puts a serious dent in the Wildcats playoff chances. William and Mary took down Villanova.

That leaves UMass and Delaware the only CAA teams with no league losses.
