UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 12 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
WELCOME TO THE DUNGEON
UNH’s Cowell Stadium – now Wildcat Stadium – became known as The Dungeon, a fittingly foreboding name for visiting teams because, in the past decade, very few have left The Dungeon with a win. New Hampshire won a school-record 14 consecutive home games spanning the 2013-14 seasons to surpass the benchmark of 12 established during the 2008-10 seasons; seven of those 14 wins were against-nationally-ranked teams, including four in the Top 10. In the 2015 season, the ‘Cats knocked off another top-5 team with a 30-25 victory against Richmond ( Nov. 7).
The record streak began Sept. 14, 2013 with a 53-23 victory in the home opener against Colgate University. The Wildcats went on to an unblemished 6-0 record at The Dungeon that season, when they outscored the opposition 243-97 and scored more than 50 points in a game twice – season-high 59 vs. Rhode Island (Oct. 12).
In 2014, UNH won all six regular-season home games to tie the previous record (12) and went on to NCAA postseason wins against both Fordham and Chattanooga to establish the new mark (14). The ‘Cats outscored the opposition 328156 with five games of 40+ points, including a season-high 52 against Dartmouth College (in the first ever night game at The Dungeon) and 44 in the NCAA second round vs. ninthranked Fordham.
Since the start of the 2007 season, the Wildcats are 47-6 at The Dungeon. UNH has had tremendous success at home against non-conference teams the past 11 years (200515) with a 20-3 record that included 16 consecutive wins spanning the 2006-14 seasons.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 12 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES topping No. 12 UMass, 39-13, in the inaugural Colonial Clash at Gillette Stadium. The game was witnessed by 32,848 fans, the largest football crowd in CAA history. UNH finished 10-3 in 2009 and won its second straight CAA North Division championship. The Wildcats continued to be giant killers by knocking off an FBS opponent for the fifth straight time, securing a hard-fought 23-16 triumph at Ball State. Previous FBS opponents to feel the wrath of the Wildcats during the amazing upset run were Army (2008), Marshall (’07), Northwestern (’06) and Rutgers (’04). UNH was the only team to defeat eventual FCS national champion Villanova (28-24) on Homecoming. The Wildcats also posted an impressive win on the road at McNeese State, defeating the Cowboys, 49-13, in the first round of the NCAA playoffs. New Hampshire notched a 10-3 record in 2008, including a defeat of Southern Illinois in the first round of the NCAAs before a quarterfinal-round setback at Northern Iowa. UNH finished the season ranked No. 7 in most national polls, and McDonnell was honored as the New England FCS Coach of the Year for the second time. In 2007, the Wildcats were 7-5 overall and nearly upset No. 1 Northern Iowa in the first round of the NCAAs, losing on a last-minute TD, 38-35, at the UNI Dome. The Wildcat offense, ranked 16th in the nation, averaged more than 400 yards per contest. The Wildcats were ranked as high as No. 1 in the nation in 2006 and finished the season ranked sixth after defeating Hampton, 41-38, in the first round of the NCAAs. Among the regular-season highlights was senior All-America wide receiver David Ball making history by surpassing legendary Jerry Rice with 58 career TD receptions and junior quarterback Ricky Santos claiming the Walter Payton Award as the FCS football national player of the year. In 2005, McDonnell was honored as the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year by The Sports Network after leading his Wildcats to a record-breaking 11-2 season, an Atlantic 10 Championship, a second straight NCAA appearance in the I-AA quarterfinals and the country’s No. 1 ranking at the end of the regular season. The Wildcats played host to two nationally-televised NCAA postseason games on ESPN at Cowell Stadium, beating Colgate in the first round before succumbing to Northern Iowa in the NCAA quarterfinals. McDonnell’s hard work rebuilding the program paid off in 2004 with a 10-3 overall record and a 6-2 mark in the Atlantic 10, which earned the team the Northern Division championship and a bid to the NCAA I-AA Championships for the first time since 1994. The ‘Cats advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time in the history of the program by winning the first-ever NCAA tourney contest under McDonnell, a 27-23 upset at Georgia Southern. McDonnell was named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year and was selected District Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). In 2003, UNH began turning the corner by winning three of its last four contests, including an upset victory over nationally-ranked Maine. The team’s 5-7 record could have easily been above .500, as the ‘Cats narrowly lost to No. 1 Delaware on a missed field goal in the closing seconds, and UNH was driving for a potential game-winning TD late at Division I-A Central Michigan before running out of time. In 2002, McDonnell’s offense was one of the most prolific in I-AA football and averaged 449.2 yards per contest and 36.7 ppg. In victories over the likes of Hampton, James Madison, Dartmouth and Massachusetts the ‘Cats scored 37 points/game and scored over 40 points in two of the victories. UNH finished with a 4-7 overall record in 2001. In 2000, the Wildcats were ranked as high as 23rd in the nation and knocked off three top-25 opponents, including Hampton (31-17), Massachusetts (24-16) and No. 2 Delaware on Nov. 4 (45-44 OT). Injuries squashed UNH’s chances for a playoff berth down the stretch, but UNH opened the campaign with a 4-0 record, its best start since 1977 when the Wildcats won seven straight games. UNH finished the season with a 6-5 record and finished tied for fourth in the Atlantic 10. McDonnell was named the Gridiron Club Of Greater Boston College Head Coach Of The Year. In his rookie season, McDonnell led the Wildcats to a 5-6 overall record and oversaw a wide-open offensive attack that led the Atlantic 10 with an average of 457.3 yards per game. McDonnell was named the 19th head coach of the UNH football program April 22, 1999. McDonnell replaced legendary head coach Bill Bowes, who retired after 27 years as the mentor of the Wildcats. McDonnell served eight seasons as a Wildcat assistant and completed his fifth year as the team’s offensive coordinator in 1998. McDonnell rejoined the Wildcats as an assistant coach before the 1991 spring camp and worked with the quarterbacks and receivers for his first three seasons. In 1997, McDonnell was named the recipient of “The College Assistant Coach Award” by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston in recognition of his quality of performance, loyalty and longevity. McDonnell was a standout defensive back for UNH. He started for the 1975 and 1976 Yankee Conference championship teams and came back to start for the 1978 squad. After his graduation from UNH, he spent one year as an assistant coach at Manchester (N.H.) Memorial High School and followed that up with a three-year stint at Manchester West (1980-82). McDonnell worked as the defensive coordinator at Hamilton College for two seasons (1983-84) and subsequently spent three years (1985-87) coaching the receivers and tight ends at former conference-rival Boston University. During the 1988 campaign, McDonnell served as a graduate assistant coach at Boston College. He spent two seasons as an assistant at Columbia (1989-90) prior to his coaching debut in Durham. Sean and his wife, Jenny, reside in Durham and are the parents of two sons: Tim and Tom, a 2015 UNH graduate who played four seasons on the Wildcat men’s basketball team.

The multi-purpose back tacked on 54 catches for 444 yards and six TDs and also excelled on special teams, where he racked up 29 tackles on kickoff coverage and returned seven kicks for 87 yards. Setian was a two-time winner of the CAA Commissioner’s Academic Award and a two-time member of the CAA Academic All-Conference Team. Setian spent a year as an offensive coaching intern under the direction of former UNH assistant coach Joe Conlin at Yale University (2014) for the No. 1 offense in FCS football. He was the interim running backs coach that spring before joining the UNH staff in a non-coaching capacity in 2015.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 12 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
2016 SEASON PREVIEW
The University of New Hampshire football program owns claim to the nation’s longest active playoff streak of 12 consecutive years and looks to continue that success as UNH ushers in a new era with the opening of Wildcat Stadium in the 2016 season. The Wildcats return seven starters, including four linemen, to an offense that averaged 358.8 yards and 23.9 points per game. The defense returns five starters and looks to reduce the numbers of 390.7 yards and 22.0 points allowed per game.
QUARTERBACKS Who will be the starting quarterback when the Wildcats open the 2016 season with a game at San Diego State on Sept. 3 and then open the new Wildcat Stadium the next Saturday, Sept. 10, with a home game against Holy Cross? The contenders for the starting spot at quarterback are left-hander Adam Riese, a senior captain from Hamilton, N.J., and Trevor Knight, a sophomore out of Nashua South High School. Riese has an edge in his knowledge of the system and game experience. He played in 10 games last year and completed 54 of 79 passes for 513 yards with six touchdowns and a pair of interceptions. Riese started against Elon and Central Connecticut when Sean Goldrich was out with an injury and led the Wildcats to a pair of wins. He also got a key victory against fifth-ranked Richmond off to a rousing start by driving UNH to a score on its first possession before Goldrich took over at quarterback. Knight has shown an ability to scramble to make something out of little and has a very strong arm, but has seen more limited playing time. He played in six games last season and was 10 for 19 passing for 124 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also ran 18 times for 52 yards and a score. “Adam’s had a good jumpstart to the competition because of what he did last year,” offensive coordinator and QB coach Ryan Carty said in the spring. “In fairness, Trevor didn’t do poorly when he was playing last year either. He just played less. We’ve got to get both those guys in a situation where they’re ready to compete on a daily basis and get us better as a team.”
The third returning quarterback is redshirt freshman Ivan Niyomugabo, who worked with the scout team as a true freshman last fall and starred at Merrimack Valley High School in Penacook, N.H., before that. The fourth QB on the roster is incoming freshman Christian Lupoli, who played at Notre Dame High School (West Haven, Conn.), the same school that produced one of UNH’s top all-time quarterbacks, 2015 graduate Sean Goldrich.
WWW.UNHWILDCATS.COM
RUNNING BACKS Dalton Crossan is the definition of an all-purpose back. Last season, he led UNH in rushes (172), rushing yards (885), rushing TDs (13), TDs (16), kickoff returns (19), kickoff return yards (482) and all-purpose yards (1,708). He tied for second in receptions (46) and TD catches (three), and ranked fourth in receiving yards (341). Crossan made the Colonial Athletic Association All-Conference Third Team as both a running back and kick returner a year ago. His 155.3 all-purpose yards per game was second best in the league and ranked No. 10 in the nation. Crossan is a very dynamic, explosive player who is always on the verge of breaking a play for a huge gain. He accounted for UNH’s four longest runs (three of which were TDs), the top two pass plays (both TDs) and two of the three longest kickoff returns.
Now a senior, Crossan fronts a deep and veteran running game that includes juniors Trevon Bryant (St. Augustine, Fla.) and Donald Goodrich (York, Maine) and will no doubt have a major say in what kind of a season the Wildcats have. Bryant carried the ball 60 times for 297 yards (4.9 yards/carry) last season and also had six receptions for 58 yards (9.7 yards/catch). Goodrich finished with 111 yards on 30 rushes (3.7 per carry) as well as five catches for 44 yards (8.8 per catch). Junior Jerickson Fedrick (Salem, N.H.) transferred to UNH from Maine and Evan Gray (Centreville, Va.) is a redshirt freshman. Fedrick is coming off a strong spring while Gray’s development could give the ‘Cats five options at running back. “I would hope the running game would be a strength of the team, knowing the guys we have coming back,” McDonnell said. “Crossan obviously is a very good football player, can do it in a lot of different ways. I think Bryant and Goodrich are very, very solid and the two guys behind them have done very, very well.” WIDE RECEIVERS The Wildcats must once again come up with a top receiver. This year, they have a stock of more proven pass catchers – along with a newcomer or two – looking to step up. “It’s probably a more talented group overall than what we’ve had in the past,” said assistant coach Michael Ferzoco, who moves over to work with receivers after spending six years with the running backs. “There may not be the one R.J. Harris or David Ball, so to speak, but from top to bottom it’s an extremely talented group that we have.”

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 12 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
2016 SEASON PREVIEW
Wildcats caught 271 catches for 16 touchdowns last season. Players who caught 171 passes for 12 TDs are back for the 2016 season. The top returning pass catchers, however, are RB Dalton Crossan, and TE Jordan Powell with 46 catches each. Jared Allison, a senior WR last year, had a team-high 53 catches. Senior Kyon Taylor (Springfield, Va.) is the leading wide receiver among the returners. He missed the first half of the 2015 season and then had 31 catches for 358 yards and a pair of scores the final six games. Taylor ranked third on the team in receiving yards and fourth in receptions despite missing half the year; the 11.5 yards per catch ranked second among UNH wide receivers. Classmates Anthony Pante (Manalapan, N.J.) and Mark Accino (Hyde Park, Mass.) made significant improvement in the spring and could have a breakout final year. Sophomores Neil O’Connor (Leominster, Mass.) and Rory Donovan (Canton, Mass.) showed flashes last year and are back. Donovan pulled in 13 balls for 188 yards for a team-best 14.5 yards per catch. O’Connor finished with nine receptions for 73 yards. Classmate Kieran Presley (Amherst, Mass.) returns after missing last season. Malik Love (Alcoa, Tenn.) was a true freshman last year and impressed during spring camp. TIGHT ENDS Jordan Powell (Forked River, N.J.), who will miss the first six games of the season, returns at tight end following a highly-productive 2015 season in which he garnered Madness All-America Third Team, College Sporting News Fabulous Fifty All-America Honorable Mention, ECAC All-Star Second Team and All-CAA Football First Team accolades. Powell led all UNH pass catchers with 461 receiving yards and five touchdowns; he had 46 receptions for an average of 10.0 yards. He had five catches for 45 yards and two scores against fifth-ranked Richmond and followed that with a 10-catch, 96-yard, 1-TD performance at Albany. Sophomores Matt Torrey (Cheshire, Conn.) and Nick Derocher (Northwood, N.H.) are at the top of the depth chart until Powell’s return. Derocher had one catch (12 yds) in eight games, and Torrey also had one reception (5 yds) in six games. Classmate John DiCaro (Dallas, Texas), as well as redshirt freshmen Brendan Hill (Mansfield, Mass.) and Justin Malone-Woods (San Diego, Calif.), will battle for playing time. DiCaro saw limited action in two games.
WWW.UNHWILDCATS.COM
OFFENSIVE LINE Tad McNeely (Whitehall, Pa.) is back at center and Alexander Morrill (Lebanon, N.H.) at left guard, and those are two big reasons head coach McDonnell feels the strength of his team is in its running game – because of the offensive line. McNeely, Morrill and Co., the big guys up front, will look to make the running game go and protect for the pass game as well. “The comfort factor is high when those guys are starting games and playing together,” offensive line coach and running game coordinator Alex Miller said of McNeely and Morrill. Both have started since they were redshirt freshmen. McNeely, who stands 6-foot-2 and 292 pounds, missed most of last season (the final 10 games) with an injury and Morrill, 6-2 and 304, also saw his season end prematurely because of injury. But both are expected to be back at full strength for the start of the ‘16 season. Andrew Lauderdale (Concord, N.H.), 6-6 and 291 pounds, started throughout last season at tackle and senior Curtis Nealer (Pitman, N.J.), 6-3 and 309, at guard. Juniors Will McInerny (Bedford, N.H.; 6-7, 291 pounds) and Jake Kennedy (Amherst, N.H.; 6-3, 317) each started games as well. Others in the mix include sophomore Dayne Herron (Oak Harbor, Wash.; 6-4, 291) and redshirt freshman Nick Velte (Rochester, N.Y.; 6-3, 291). Noah Robison, who stands 6-6 and 261 pounds out of Pinkerton Academy and Derry, N.H., was a true freshman at Coastal Carolina last fall and is sitting out the season as a transfer. “There’s a ton of athleticism in that group and it’s just getting the right guys on the field that are playing at the highest level, the most consistent,” Miller said. McNeely and Morrill, the guys in the middle, are key. Both played major roles in UNH runs to the FCS tournament semifinals in 2013 and 2014. McNeely, who makes the calls for the line, was voted to the CAA All-Conference Second Team as a sophomore. “Any time you can get an all-conference guy, one of the better linemen in the CAA, back, I’m a better coach and we’re a better football team,” Miller said. DEFENSIVE LINE Going into the 2016 season, questions about the defensive line for the New Hampshire football team center mostly with the interior of the line.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 12 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
2016 SEASON PREVIEW
Senior Cam Shorey (Calais, Maine) and sophomore Jae’Wuan Horton (Stafford, Va.) stepped up into starting roles last year and have the defensive end spots covered with the assistance of a couple of younger players, including junior Mike Boryeskne (Sparta, N.J.) and sophomore Kyle Reisert (Plymouth, N.H.). Josh Kania (Milton, Ga.) impressed last fall on the scout team and is a redshirt freshman looking for playing time along with classmate Robbie Schumacher (Hopewell Junction, N.Y.). Shorey, 6-5 and 260 pounds, and Horton, 6-2 and 243, each totaled 42 tackles last season. Shorey led the team with 12.5 tackles for a loss, including a team-best 7.5 sacks; those numbers ranked sixth in the CAA in sacks and ninth in TFL. Horton had nine tackles for a loss and 3.5 sacks a year ago as a starter. Reisert, 6-2 and 239 pounds, has come on strong as well. He played in 11 of 12 games a year ago and totaled 21 tackles with two forced fumbles. Boryeskne (6-1 234) saw action in 10 games, compiled 28 tackles and recovered a fumble. Sophomore Ryan Sosnak (Bethel Park, Pa.), who checks in at 6-2, 296, is among the leading contenders to fill the holes at defensive tackle left by the graduation of Jullian Turner and Rashid Armand. Sosnak played each of the first six games of the 2015 season and was credited with three tackles.
Juniors Rick Holt (Portsmouth, N.H.), 6-4 and 299 pounds, and Odaine Franklyn (White Plains, N.Y.), 6-2 and 278, are vying for playing time in the middle of the defensive line as well, along with grayshirt freshman Jack Carroll (Oakton, Va.; 6-2, 278 pounds) and redshirt freshman Sean Burns (Milford, Mass.; 6-1, 269). Holt has come back to the defensive side after spending some time with the offensive line, Franklyn has moved inside from end and Carroll started school in January. The depth at defensive tackle is affected by a season-ending injury to Cyrus Boone (Stockton, Calif.). Boone proved to be a disruptive force at times a year ago with 20 tackles, including 4.0 tackles for a loss, 2.5 of which were sacks; he also forced a fumble and recovered a fumble. LINEBACKERS Three seniors – including one of the team’s leading tacklers his first two years – will lead the linebacking crew into action. DeVaughn Chollette (Scranton, Pa.), who missed almost half of last season with an injury, will look to get back to the production he put up as a redshirt freshman and sophomore. Chollette totaled 63 tackles
WWW.UNHWILDCATS.COM
his first season and 67 the next. He was out most of the second half of last season, returning to play on special teams in the FCS playoff game against Colgate. “We’re excited to have DeVaughn back healthy,” said Garrett Gillick, the assistant coach who works with linebackers. “He’s a run-stopper in the middle, a really good blitzer. You look at him and he looks like a prototypical linebacker. He’s going to be a physical presence in the middle for us. We look for him to do big things.”
Senior captain Ryan Farrell (Westwood, Mass.), 6-1 and 231 pounds, and Kevin McNally (Cornwall, N.Y.), 6-1 and 240, are the other two seniors contending for starting spots. Farrell had an increased role last year. In 12 games – six starts – he compiled 45 tackles (4.0 tackles for a loss, including 3.0 sacks), two interceptions, two recovered fumbles and one forced fumble. In the last five games, he averaged 5.8 tackles and tallied one INT, one fumble recovery and one forced fumble. McNally played in 11 of 12 games with two starts and made 35 stops. “You look at it, you’ve got Chollette. You’ve got Ryan Farrell who had a great second half of the season and made a lot of plays, very productive for us, and has gotten bigger and stronger. You’ve got Kevin McNally. You look at those three guys right there. They’ve played a lot of football for us the last two years.” Sophomore Jared Kuehl (Plymouth, N.H.; 6-1, 222) and redshirt freshmen Quinlen Dean (Greenbelt, Md.; 6-0, 227) and Cameron Brusko (Bethlehem, Pa.; 6-0, 204), will also vie for playing time. Kuehl saw action every game a year ago and recorded 14 tackles. Dean, meanwhile, has opened some eyes. In a spring scrimmage, he had an interception and forced a fumble. CORNERBACKS It starts with captain Casey DeAndrade (East Bridgewater, Mass.). Any discussion of the secondary – the safeties and cornerbacks that comprise the back end of the UNH defense – begins with the guy who has been a starter throughout his career and a CAA All-Conference First Team selection each of the past two seasons. “Obviously Casey’s going to be the cornerstone of the secondary,” McDonnell said. “It’s important that he stays healthy. His position is very important for us, how our scheme works in the secondary, being the cover corner, the boundary corner. It’s huge.” DeAndrade has been a major factor in the defensive backfield since day one with the Wildcats.

2016 SEASON PREVIEW
“He has a very good understanding of the overall scheme, pretty much what everybody’s job is, which is always nice,” said John Lyons, the defensive coordinator who works with the cornerbacks. “Some guys just memorize what they have to do. He understands everything. Plus, he’s a good player. He’s big, fast and strong and he’s smart. That’s a good combination to have.” DeAndrade led the team in overall tackles last year with 76 and also in solo tackles with 55 – to put his numbers in perspective, only two ‘Cats had more total tackles than DeAndrade had solo tackles. He had a couple of interceptions and also led the team with 10 pass breakups.
Junior Marquis Carr (Naples, Fla.) and redshirt freshman Isiah Perkins (Williamstown, N.J.) will vie for playing time at cornerback opposite DeAndrade. Carr saw action the initial 10 games of the season and was credited with five tackles. SAFETIES Graduation has led to major turnover at safety, where the Wildcats generally have three players teamed with their two cornerbacks. A trio of juniors – D’Andre Drummond-Mayrie (Lawrence, Mass.), Nick Marino (Hudson, N.H.) and Geno Miller (Fort Washington, Md.) – have the most experience at the safety spots. Then there are a bunch of others in the mix – junior Cody Rothwell (Merrimac, Mass.), who’s making the transition from running back, with redshirt freshmen Rick Ellison (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.), Matt Sherlock (River Edge, N.J.), Dean Adams (Medfield, Mass.) and Michael Balsamo (Atkinson, N.H.). “We’ve got a full crew in there, but a very, very, very young group,” said assistant coach Scott James, who works with the safeties. Drummond-Mayrie played as a true freshman in 2014 and had 10 tackles, and last year in eight games he had 15 tackles and an interception. Marino had nine tackles and an interception last season.
team categories.” DeAndrade, a cornerback, and Crossan, a running back, are the seniors. DeAndrade was a CAA First Team pick as both cornerback and punt returner last season. Crossan was a Third Team selection as running back and kick returner. DeAndrade and Crossan have helped put UNH’s punt and kickoff return numbers near the top of the league the past couple of seasons. The Wildcats were second in punt return average at 11.1 yards per return last season and third at 8.3 in 2014. They were third in kickoff return at 22.5 yards per return last year and led the league at 22.4 in 2014. Besides Bryant and Love, there are other young players who could get a chance on return teams. “I’m looking forward to having Kieran Presley back on kickoffs,” McDonnell said. “I think Garette Craig can do some things for us. We’ve got some guys who I think can make some plays. Neil O’Connor’s done a good job with it. We’ll see if we can get Jerickson Fedrick back there on kickoffs because he’s got some speed. We’ve just got to see what we’ve got.” While DeAndrade and Crossan have been very productive as returners during their careers, the flip side of the special teams equation – the student-athletes kicking the ball – are less proven. Junior Morgan Ellman (Scotch Plains, N.J.) is in the No. 1 spot at kicker, a position he took over late last season. Ellman made all five of the field goals he attempted, the longest of which was 25 yards.

UNH improved to 1-1 while Colgate fell to 0-2. The Wildcats recorded 218 rushing yards and 193 passing yards for 411 total yards of offense while the Raiders had 336 total yards (141 rush, 195 pass). Crossan recorded his career-best 96 yards, including a four-yard touchdown run, on a personal high of 21 carries; he also had 11 receiving yards and 31 yards on kickoff returns for a game-high 138 all-purpose yards. Trevon Bryant also finished with career highs in both carries (10) and rushing yards (70). Starting quarterback Sean Goldrich finished 17 of 23 for 166 yards and a TD. Chris McCormick, who entered the game at 9:23 of the third quarter, was 4 of 10 for 27 yards and an interception. Aaron Lewis-Cenales (4-58) and Jared Allison (4-32) were the top receivers; both numbers were personal bests for Lewis-Cenales. Daniel Rowe and DeVaughn Chollette spearheaded the defensive effort with eight tackles apiece; Rowe also forced a fumble. Hayden Knudson, Jullian Turner and Akil Anderson all finished with six tackles. Casey DeAndrade was credited with three tackles and four pass breakups, including three consecutive plays in UNH territory with the Wildcats protecting a 23-8 lead with under seven minutes remaining. The Wildcats marched 66 yards on their second drive of the game, which consisted of seven rushes and five passes, to take a 7-0 lead at 6:22 of the first quarter. The drive was fueled by three double-digit runs – a 15-yard run by Goldrich followed by a 12yard end around by Amechie Walker, Jr. and Crossan’s 16-yard run – that advanced the ball to the Colgate 12. On 3rd-and-6 from the CU 8, Goldrich’s swing pass to Crossan set up 1st-and-goal at the 1 yard line. One play later, Bryant backed his way over the goal line and Christian Breda made the ensuing PAT kick. Crossan took a handoff from the shotgun formation and ran up the middle four a four-yard TD at 4:55. The scamper capped an 11-play, 82-yard drive that consumed 4:37 and pushed the lead to 14-0. The Wildcats extended the next drive on a 25-yard completion to Lewis-Cenales down the right sideline and one play later Goldrich connected with Allison on a 12yard TD pass to give UNH a 20-0 lead at 1:13. New Hampshire took that 20-point lead into halftime with a 19-6 edge in first downs and 294-138 advantage in total offense. UNH’s second drive of the second half, culminated in Breda’s career-long 44-yard field goal that gave the ‘Cats a 23-0 lead at 6:27 of the third quarter. McCormick entered the game at the start of this drive, which went 42 yards on nine plays. Melville’s 13-yard TD pass to Alex Greenawalt and a two-point PAT from Melville to Quazza trimmed the deficit to 23-8 at 11:02 of the fourth quarter. UNH closed the scoring on Breda’s 35-yard field goal at 2:04.

UNH, which had won 11 consecutive conference games, is now 1-2. SBU improved to 2-0 by defeating the Wildcats for the first time in four lifetime meetings. New Hampshire, with first-string quarterback Sean Goldrich sidelined by injury, was held to 253 yards of total offense (75 rush, 178 pass). The Seawolves amassed 397 yards (228 rush, 169 pass) and also had two kickoff returns of 60-plus yards. Crossan was UNH’s leader in rushes (14), rushing yards (40) and receptions (seven); he finished with 34 receiving yards and 48 kickoff return yards. In his first career start, junior Chris McCormick completed 2 of 5 passes for 11 yards and was pulled in favor of Adam Riese at the start of the second quarter. Riese finished the game 13-for-21 for 111 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Trevor Knight entered the game in the fourth quarter; he completed 4 of 13 passes for 47 yards and threw a late interception in the end zone that ended a 7-play, 67-yard drive. Hayden Knudson was UNH’s leading tackler with six. Jae’Wuan Horton was credited with four tackles with three stops behind the line of scrimmage, including two sacks. Jullian Turner also had four tackles with 2.5 for a loss. SBU’s Marvin Hart returned the opening kickoff 64 yards to the UNH 36, but the Wildcats’ defense stood strong as Horton sacked Bednarski on 4th-and-3 to give possession to UNH. New Hampshire’s offense was held to a 3-and-out, but once again the defense came up with a big play when Casey DeAndrade recovered Isaiah White’s fumble on 3rd-and-1 at 9:43 of the first quarter. The Seawolves capitalized on a UNH turnover to take a 7-0 lead on a 7-play, 31yard drive. Stony Brook opened the second quarter with 3rd-and-goal from the 5, but Horton chased down Carbone and stripped the ball in the backfield. Cam Shorey fell on the loose ball to set up 1st-and-10 for the ‘Cats at the UNH 16. For the fourth time in six drives, SBU began its drive in UNH territory at the 49 yard line. Bednarski’s 36-yard pass to Bolden set up Przemyslaw Popek’s 32-yard field goal that extended the advantage to 10-0 at 10:00. UNH committed its second turnover of the game when Riese’s pass intended for Aaron Lewis-Cenales was intercepted by Hart at the SBU 27. After surrendering pass plays of 20 and 13 yards that allowed Stony Brook to advance to the UNH 37, the Wildcats’ defense once again stiffened and Lamar Edmonds’ tackle for a five-yard loss led to another punt. Riese engineered a 13-play, 80-yard drive that lifted UNH within 10-6 with 11 seconds remaining in the half. Riese threw his first career TD pass when he lofted the ball over the defender into Rory Donovan’s hands in the front-right corner of the end zone for a 17-yard score; it also marked Donovan’s first career TD. It appeared the Wildcats would enter halftime trailing 10-6, but Darin Peart returned the ensuing kickoff 60 yards to the UNH 24 with one second on the clock. Stony Brook made the most of that second when Bednarski found Bolden in the right side of the end zone and Popek’s PAT gave the Seawolves a 17-6 lead at the half.

The Wildcats got off to a fast start and led 25-0 after the first period on the way to evening their overall record at 2-2. Riese completed 14 of his 21 passes for 188 yards and the three touchdowns in the first half and did not play in the second. Junior running back Dalton Crossan and freshman wide receiver Amechie Walker, Jr. both scored a pair of touchdowns. Crossan scored on a 33-yard run in the first quarter and on a 48-yard pass play from Riese in the second. Crossan had nine carries for 73 yards and caught three passes for 58 yards and also played in just the first half. Walker had two catches, both for touchdowns, for 56 yards. Redshirt freshman QB Trevor Knight passed for one TD and ran for another. The UNH defense gave up a couple of long touchdown runs, but also came up with three fumble recoveries and had seven sacks. Junior defensive end Cam Shorey had two of the sacks and redshirt freshman Cyrus Boone had one and a half. Junior defensive back Casey DeAndrade had a sack, and he and sophomore defensive back D’Andre Drummond-Mayrie each had six tackles to lead the Wildcats. The Wildcats punted on their first possession and were held to a 24-yard field Christian Breda (Needham, Mass) on their second. They scored touchdowns on their next three possessions and in between added a 15-yard fumble return for a score by linebacker Ryan Farrell (Westwood, Mass.) into the mix. Riese connected with Walker for a 37-yard pass play for the first touchdown with 5:11 left in the first period. Knight passed to Jordan Powell (Forked River, N.J.) for the two-point conversion. Crossan scored his first TD on the next possession and then Farrell added his score. Redshirt freshman defensive tackle Cyrus Boone (Stockton, Calif.) sacked Central Connecticut State quarterback Jacob Dolegala and he lost the ball. Knight scrambled for a nine-yard score to make it 32-0 with 12:06 left in the second quarter. Blue Devil running back Cameron Nash broke loose for a 73-yard touchdown run with 5:14 left in the half. Riese and Crossan teamed up for their 48-yard TD two plays later and Riese then found Powell for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 11 seconds left in the half and it was 46-7 at the break.

Crossan cracked the 100-yard mark for the first time in his career and became the first Wildcat to go over 100 yards rushing in a game this season. Crossan scored on two touchdown runs in the first period and two more in the second. The Wildcats won their second straight game and improved to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Colonial Athletic Association. They rode a defense that came up with five interceptions and for the second straight week they got off to a fast start. Last week, UNH led Central Connecticut State 25-0 after one period. Saturday, the Wildcats opened up a 20-0 first period lead and pushed the advantage to 27-0 in the first two minutes of the second period. They slowed down a bit after that. Junior Adam Riese started his second straight game at quarterback and went the distance for the Wildcats. He completed 22 of his 32 passes for 163 yards and one touchdown. He also threw an interception. The Wildcats did not intercept a pass in the first four games this year and picked off the five Elon passes, four in the second half. Junior DB Casey DeAndrade, junior LB Ryan Farrell, senior DB Lamar Edmonds, senior LB Akil Anderson and sophomore DB D’Andre Drummond Mayrie each had an interception. DeAndrade finished with a team-high six tackles. UNH finished with 398 yards of total offense to Elon’s 313 and had 235 yards rushing to Elon’s 69. The Wildcats rolled to a 34-7 lead at the half. UNH had 260 yards of offense in the first half to Elon’s 84, including 146 rushing yards to Elon’s 34. Crossan carried the ball 12 times in the first half for 93 yards. Riese completed 12 of his 19 first-half passes for 114 yards and the touchdown. UNH had the first possession of the game and cruised down the field from its own 23-yard line to open the scoring in just four plays. Riese rushed for four yards and passed to senior wide receiver Jared Allison (Cliffwood, N.J.) for 19 yards. Crossan then ran for 18 yards and followed up with a 36-yard run for the score. Christian Breda kicked the extra point and UNH led just a minute and 15 seconds into the game. Riese connected with junior tight end Jordan Powell for a 4-yard touchdown pass with 7:34 left in the first quarter. The ‘Cats then capitalized on an interception by Edmonds and marched down the field to a Crossan 1-yard score with 33 seconds left in the period. The conversion kick was blocked and UNH led 20-0. Crossan did all of UNH’s scoring in the second period. He scored on an 8-yard run with 13:37 left in the period and on a 2-yarder with 4:49 to go before the break. Breda made both conversion kicks and UNH led 34-0.

UNH, which entered the game on a two-game winning streak, is now 3-3 overall and 2-2 in the CAA. William & Mary won its second straight game to improve to 4-2, 3-1. Crossan eclipsed 100 rushing yards for the second consecutive week and finished with 186 all-purpose yards, including a 54-yard kickoff return. Sean Goldrich, in his first action since incurring an injury Sept, 12 at Colgate University, was 15 of 29 for 154 yards and two interceptions. Crossan led the Wildcats with six catches for 23 yards while Jordan Powell recorded career highs in both catches (five) and receiving yards (53). Casey DeAndrade recorded a game-high nine tackles, including one for a loss, and two pass breakups. He also had a 90-yard punt return for a touchdown. Hayden Knudson was also credited with nine tackles. William & Mary, which outgained the ‘Cats 325-127 on the ground and 470-281 in total yards, was led by Kendell Anderson (27 rushes, 174 yards, two TDs) and quarterback Steve Cluley (14 of 22, 145 yards, 1 TD; five rushes, 48 yards, two TDs). The Tribe did not allow a sack; UNH’s defense entered the game ranked No. 2 in the nation with 4.0 per game. Special teams highlighted the first quarter for UNH as Trevon Bryant returned the opening kickoff 64 yards to the W&M 36 yard line. The Wildcats’ offense was held to a 3-and-out, however, and the Tribe gained possession at its 12. New Hampshire’s defense yielded one first down but forced the home team to punt from its 38. DeAndrade fielded Hunter Windmuller’s punt at the UNH 10, broke through the blocking bubble and found a seam down the middle of the field, then cut back to his left at the W&M 10 to avoid the last Tribe defender for a 90-yard touchdown return to give UNH a 7-0 lead at 10:40. DeAndrade’s punt return TD marked the first by a Wildcat since Nov. 30, 2013 when Nick Cefalo scored on an 86-yard vs. Lafayette. The longest punt return in UNH history is 92 yards by Dave Wissman vs. UMass on Nov. 14, 1981. William & Mary responded with a 9-play, 68-yard touchdown drive that consumed 4:29 off the clock and tied the score, 7-7, at 6:11. Cluley capped the drive on a two-yard TD play-action rush in which he won the race to the left pylon. The Wildcats marched 80 yards on six plays on their first drive of the second quarter to regain the lead, 15-7 at 10:09. Crossan took an inside handoff up the middle and raced untouched into the end zone for a 37-yard scamper – the longest run of the season by any Wildcat. UNH lined up in a spread formation on the PAT and Trevor Knight rolled to his right and lobbed a pass over a defender complete to Matt Torrey for two points. W&M needed just two plays to trim the deficit to 15-14 on Anderson’s 69-yard TD run at 9:18. The Tribe took a 21-15 lead on their next possession on Anderson’s one-yard run. They increased the lead to 27-15 with 19 seconds to play in the third quarter. Following a blocked punt, the home team pushed the advantage to 34-15 at 12:21 of the fourth.

UNH falls to 3-4 overall and 1-3 in the CAA while Delaware improves to 3-4, 2-2. The Blue Hens outgained their guests 355-183 yards, including 235-50 – as well as 25-0 in points – in the second half. Dalton Crossan was UNH’s top ground gainer with 10 carries for 24 yards, including a three-yard TD run that opened the game scoring; he finished with 146 all-purpose yards that included 113 kickoff return yards.

Delaware carried the ball 55 times for 284 yards (5.2 yards per carry) and four touchdowns. Delaware opened the game with an onsides kick, but UNH’s Mike Kelly caught the ball at the UD 46 and the Wildcats took advantage of the excellent field position to take a 7-0 lead at 9:10. UNH converted 4th-and-1 at the UD 37 on Crossan’s four yard run as well as 4th-and-3 at the UD 7 on Goldrich’s four-yard completion to Allison that set up Crossan’s three-yard TD run. The Blue Hens responded with a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that trimmed the deficit to 7-6 at 4:21. New Hampshire closed the second quarter with a 12-play, 67-yard drive in 2:02 to extend the lead to 14-6 with five seconds on the clock. The Wildcats converted their fourth fourth down of the game when Goldrich connected with Taylor on a 22-yard pass play that set up 1st-and-goal at the 2. Facing third down with 10 seconds on the clock, Goldrich hit Allison on an out pattern to the left sideline for a two-yard TD pass. Delaware outscored the Wildcats 18-0 in the third quarter to take control of the game. Raggo’s 33-yard field goal capped an 8-play, 49-yard drive that pulled the Blue Hens within 14-9 at 8:12. The Blue Hens took their first lead of the game, 1714, at 6:04 of the third quarter and extended the advantage to 24-14 at 4:06 to give the Blue Hens 14 points in a span of 1:58 and 18 points in 4:06. Delaware secured the victory with a time-consuming touchdown drive that started at its 24 with 13:29 left in the fourth quarter. The Blue Hens marched 76 yards of 10 minutes, 20 seconds; Williams ended the drive with a three-yard TD run to make it 31-14 with 3:09 to play.
DURHAM, N.H. – Junior running back Dalton Crossan scored twice and senior quarterback Sean Goldrich connected with junior wide receiver Kyon Taylor for a 5-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter to lead the UNH football team to a 20-17 comeback win over Rhode Island in Cowell Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Wildcats snapped a two-game losing streak to even their overall record at 4-4 and improved to 2-3 in the Colonial Athletic Association. URI fell to 1-7 and 1-4. It was UNH’s eighth straight home win over Rhode Island and the Wildcats have won 10 consecutive CAA games at Cowell. UNH trailed Rhode Island 17-0 at the half. The Rams punched in a touchdown with no time remaining in the second quarter to create the 17-point margin. The Wildcats received the second half kickoff and struck quickly. Four plays into the half, Goldrich hit Crossan on the fly and he went down the right sideline for a 52-yard touchdown. Crossan scored again, on a 12-yard run, with 8:39 left in the third. Christian Breda kicked his second PAT and URI’s lead was down to 17-14. UNH started its winning drive from its own 16-yard line with 7:15 left in the fourth quarter. Goldrich and Taylor capped the seven-play, 84-yard drive with the TD pass, Taylor’s first of the year, with 5:46 left to play. Breda’s kick was wide and UNH had its first lead of the game at 20-17. On URI’s next series, junior linebacker Ryan Farrell got a quarterback sack on third down to force a punt and UNH’s offense ran out the clock. The offense and defense both turned things around in the second half. The Wildcats collected 306 of their 382 yards of offense in the second half. URI had just 29 yards of offense in the second half. Besides being shut out in the second half, URI had just three first downs. The UNH defense held tough after the Rams blocked a punt late in the third period, too. The block gave the Rams, who led 17-14 at the time, a first down at the UNH 32. A third-down sack by Dougie Moss helped end that threat. The Wildcats held Rhode Island to 225 yards of offense for the game. Farrell led the Wildcats with nine tackles and had one of the two UNH sacks. Junior defensive back Casey DeAndrade and Moss had six tackles each. Crossan finished with a season’s-best total of 226 all-purpose yards. He rushed 18 times for 114 yards, caught four passes for 66 yards and had two kick returns for 46 yards. Goldrich completed 18 of his 32 passes for 198 yards and the two scores. After converting just one of six third-down chances in the first half, the Wildcats were six-for-nine in the second. The Wildcats struggled to get their offense going in the first half. They had a total of 76 yards of offense to URI’s 196.

The Wildcats improved to 5-4 overall and 3-3 in the Colonial Athletic Association. UNH snapped Richmond’s seven-game winning streak. The Spiders fell to 7-2 overall, lost their first league game and are now 5-1 in the CAA. The win was the Wildcats’ first over a Top 5 team since they were ranked No. 21 and beat No. 4 Maine, 24-3, on Nov. 23, 2013 in Cowell. Junior tight end Jordan Powell had a career-high two touchdown receptions. The UNH defense, which had not come up with a turnover in its last three games, had five against the Spiders. Besides Mensah’s two interceptions, junior defensive back Casey DeAndrade and junior linebacker Ryan Farrell each had one. In addition, safety Lamar Edmonds recovered a fumble. UNH and Richmond each had 468 yards of total offense. It was the second-best total of the season for the Wildcats, who had 498 in a win over Central Connecticut State. Goldrich completed 21 of his 36 passes in the game. Junior Adam Riese started the game at quarterback, played the first series and led the Wildcats to a touchdown. Riese completed all four of his passes for 40 yards and a 19-yard touchdown to Powell. Sophomore running back Trevon Bryant carried 19 times for 88 yards and sophomore Donald Goodrich carried 11 times for 51 yards for the Wildcats in place of junior running back Dalton Crossan, who was out with a leg injury. The Riese to Powell touchdown pass tied the game at 7-7 after Richmond had scored on its opening drive. Two of the next three Spider possessions ended with interceptions by Mensah. UNH quickly converted the first pick into a touchdown. On the next Wildcat play, 6-foot-5 redshirt freshman Rory Donovan (Canton, Mass.) went up to grab a Goldrich pass for a 42-yard gain to the Richmond 1. Goldrich ran the yard for the score and 14-7 lead. Goldrich found Kyon Taylor for a 7-yard TD to finish off a nine-play drive with 57 seconds left before the break. Breda’s kick made it 21-7 at the half. Richmond quarterback Kyle Lauletta found Brian Brown for a 34-yard scoring pass with 10:32 left in the third quarter and a two-point conversion cut UNH’s lead to 2115. UNH answered with another drive and 3-yard Goldrich to Powell TD pass. A pass for the conversion failed and it was 27-15. Richmond’s Gordon Collins broke loose for a 45-yard TD with 1:09 left in the third and Peter Yoder’s 28-yard field goal with 10:28 left in the fourth period made it 27-25. The Wildcats responded by marching down the field to a 29-yard field goal by Breda with 6:35 to go. The Spiders got as far as the UNH 21-yard line and had a 3rd-and-7 when Farrell came up with the team’s fourth interception of the day. Goldrich and the offense collected three first downs to eat up all but 25 seconds of the clock and the Wildcats had their win.

The Wildcats outgained the hosts 467-360, including a disparity of 301-136 passing yards, and recorded 30 first downs, the team’s highest total since Sept. 22, 2012 (35 at Old Dominion). Crossan matched his career high of 22 carries and scored a pair of one-yard runs. He also caught five passes for 39 yards. Goldrich established personal bests in both completions and attempts. Jodan Powell caught 10 passes for 96 yards – both career highs – with one TD reception. Keith Parkinson finished with a team-high eight tackles. Ryan Farrell and Lamar Edmonds both had seven tackles. Edmonds also forced a fumble. On the game’s first possession, the Wildcats marched 67 yards on 11 plays to take a 7-0 lead at 10:40. Goldrich completed passes of 20 and 11 yards to Powell, then ran for 14 yards to advance the ball to the UA 20. Crossan’s 12-yard scamper set up 1stand-goal, and then Goldrich’s swing pass to Crossan set up 4th-and-goal from the 1. Crossan ran the ball up the middle for the score and Morgan Ellman kicked the PAT. On the strength of Goldrich’s arm, UNH extended the lead to 10-0 at 4:02 of the first quarter. The captain completed 8 of 9 passes, including three consecutive passes to Kyon Taylor for 34 yards, to move the ball from the UNH 20 to the Albany 7. A pair of incompletions sandwiched around a one-yard loss led to Ellman’s 25-yard field goal. UNH dominated the first-half stats in first downs (18-4), passing yards (250-37) and total yards (292-128), but the Great Danes won the turnover battle at plus-two and missed all three field goal attempts (26, 40, 43). Albany marched 85 yards in 10 plays to pull within 10-7 at 4:00 of the third quarter. Croskey capped the drive on an eight-yard TD run in which he won the race to the right pylon. New Hampshire responded immediately with a 6-play, 58-yard touchdown drive to reestablish a 10-point lead, 17-7, at 1:21. Three consecutive double-digit gains – Goldrich’s 15-yard run, 20-yard pass to Taylor and Crossan 11-yard run – set up Crossan’s second one-yard scoring rush of the game. The Wildcat defense kept momentum in UNH’s favor by forcing a three-and-out, and the combination of Crossan’s legs and Goldrich’s arm produced another touchdown for the ‘Cats. Crossan opened the drive with rushes of 12, 17 and 3 yards, then four plays later Goldrich completed his 50th pass attempt of the game to Powell at the goal line for a two-yard TD that gave UNH a 24-7 lead at 12:59 of the fourth quarter. Albany answered with a seven-play, 70-yard TD drive that ended with Sussman’s one-yard keeper to close within 24-14 at 9:53. The Great Danes had one last chance to cut into that 10-point deficit when they gained possession at their 28 with 58 seconds to play. Sussman completed a 20-yard pass but on the next play his throw down the left sideline was intercepted by Dougie Moss at the UNH 15 to secure the victory.

Now the Wildcats wait to see if they get to play more games this season. UNH rose up on both defense and offense on a sunny Saturday afternoon to knock off bitter border rival Maine, 22-6, in Cowell Stadium to retain possession of the BriceCowell Musket that is awarded each year to the winner of the game. Senior quarterback and captain Sean Goldrich threw for one touchdown pass and ran for another and junior running back Dalton Crossan scored a pair of TDs to pace the offense. Senior linebacker Akil Anderson led an aggressive Wildcat defense with 10 tackles, two of them for loss. The defense shut down Maine’s running game, had four quarterback sacks that helped lead to four turnovers and shut out the Black Bears through three quarters. The Wildcats improved to 7-4 overall and 5-3 in the Colonial Athletic Association and stayed alive in their quest to qualify for the FCS tournament. UNH has won its last six and 13 of the last 14 games against Maine. One of the games was an FCS playoff contest. Maine finished the season 3-8 overall and 3-5 in the CAA. Redshirt freshman defensive end Jae’Wuan Horton tackled quarterback Drew Belcher for a loss on Maine’s third play of the game, causing a fumble that Cyrus Boone recovered. Four plays later, Crossan scored on a 2-yard pass from Goldrich and when junior Morgan Ellman kicked the conversion, UNH led 7-0, three minutes and 30 seconds into the game. Crossan struck again early in the second period when he broke loose for an impressive 43-yard touchdown run. UNH held on to the 13-0 lead at the half. Goldrich ran for an 11-yard score and the Wildcats pushed the lead to 19-0 with 8:59 left in the third period. Maine’s John Hardy caught a 6-yard TD pass from Dan Collins in the first minute of the fourth quarter. Defensive tackle Jullian Turner (East Pittsburgh, Pa.) blocked the conversion kick and that was it for Maine’s scoring. Ellman tacked on a 25-yard field goal to close the scoring with 9:32 left in the game. UNH held Maine to 69 yards rushing and the Black Bears had 334 yards of total offense. The Wildcats had 379 yards of offense. Goldrich completed 29 of his 47 passes for 286 yards and had one touchdown pass and was intercepted once. Crossan rushed 16 times for 85 yards and had five pass receptions for 44 yards. Senior wide receiver Jared Allison (Cliffwood, N.J.) caught 10 passes for 81 yards. Shorey had one and a half sacks and also forced a fumble. Junior linebacker Ryan Farrell and Boone had the fumble recoveries for UNH, and sophomore defensive Patrick Mensah and redshirt freshman defensive back Nick Marino had interceptions. Turner and senior defensive back Keith Parkinson had sacks and Horton had half a sack.

UNH ended its final season in Cowell with a 7-5 overall record. The Wildcats were playing in the FCS tournament for the 12th straight season, which is the longest such streak in the nation. Sophomore running back James Holland scored his fourth rushing touchdown of the game on a 2-yard run to put Colgate up 27-6 with 12:16 left in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats roared back from there with a couple of touchdowns and then got the ball back, but they were unable to complete the comeback. Holland’s fourth touchdown came at the end of a 17-play, 81-yard march that lasted 10 minutes, 27 seconds. UNH answered with a 10-play drive that covered 74 yards in just 2:30. Goldrich connected with redshirt freshman Rory Donovan (Canton, Mass.) for a 12-yard scoring pass with 9:39 left for UNH’s first TD to cut the lead to 27-13. The Wildcat defense forced a punt and the offense struck again for a 10-play, 90yard drive. On 4th and 2 from the Colgate 18, Goldrich, looking only for the first down, got to the right sideline and ran in for the score. Junior Morgan Ellman kicked the conversion and it was 27-20 with 5:30 left to go. Three plays later, UNH got the ball back when senior Dougie Moss forced a Holland fumble and junior defensive end Cam Shorey recovered it with 4:29 to play. But on UNH’s fourth play – 1st and 10 from the Colgate 39-yard line – a Goldrich pass got deflected and Tyler Castillo intercepted it to end the threat. Goldrich finished with a career-high 41 completions on a career-high 56 attempts for a season-high 309 yards. The Wildcats had 399 yards of total offense to Colgate’s 377. They also turned the ball over three times - once on a desperation last play of the game – to Colgate’s once. UNH junior wide receiver Kyon Taylor caught 11 passes for 128 yards and senior wide receiver Jared Allison had 14 receptions for 83 yards. Melville completed 12 of his 17 passes for 188 yards. He has now attempted 197 passes since his last interception and has been intercepted once in his last 344 attempts. He also ran 15 times for 66 yards. Holland had 23 carries for 95 yards and the Raiders balanced their offense with 189 yards rushing and 188 passing. A pair of Holland scores staked the Raiders to a 12-6 halftime lead. He scored on a 6-yard run after UNH fumbled the ball away on its first possession and scored on a 1-yard run with 9:29 left in the second period. Jonah Bowman’s first conversion kick was wide and his second was blocked. Ellman did UNH’s first-half scoring with a 23-yard field goal seven seconds into the second period and a 22-yarder with 1:10 to go in the period.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 12 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION CAA Football has raised the profile of what was once the Yankee Conference, and later the Atlantic 10 Conference, since the league came under the CAA banner in 2007. Over the past nine years, CAA Football has established itself as one of the nation’s premier FCS power conferences with regard to on-field success, television exposure, marketability and the achievements of its studentathletes in the classroom, in the community and at the next level. 2015 saw CAA Football once again send four programs to the FCS Championship, including a pair of national seeds for the second-straight year. Richmond went on to reach the national semifinal round, becoming CAA Football’s 22nd all-time playoff semifinalist. Additionally, a total of 10 CAA Football student-athletes and coaches were named finalists for the prestigious STATS FCS national awards. CAA Football reached a national audience last fall with 24 regular-season games broadcast by league network partners, in addition to numerous others showcased on CAA.tv. The CAA’s national appeal was further on display when ESPN’s iconic College Gameday aired live from James Madison on Oct. 24, marking the show’s first trip to a CAA campus. CAA Football continued its success against non-conference opponents in 2015, finishing 19-11 against non-league foes. On Sept. 26, James Madison tallied the CAA’s 32nd all-time win over an FBS opponent by upsetting SMU on the road, 48-45. A strong presence in the national rankings remained another constant for CAA Football in 2015. Five league schools were ranked at one point during the season, with Richmond, William & Mary and James Madison each finishing the year in the top 12 of both national polls. For the second-straight season, a total of 17 CAA Football players were named to one or more AllAmerica teams in 2015, led by consensus All-America cornerback DeAndre Houston-Carson of William & Mary. Five more student-athletes earned spots on the CoSIDA and FCS ADA Academic All-America lists. CAA Football continues to provide a path to the next level, with two players selected in the 2016 NFL Draft. Houston-Carson was drafted in the sixth round by the Chicago Bears and Maine defensive lineman Trevor Bates went to the Indianapolis Colts in round seven. The conference has now had multiple players picked in each NFL Draft since 2006. CAA Football’s emphasis on its players’ off-the-field achievements was evident again in 2015. Villanova’s Jake Prus was the recipient of the Chuck Boone Leadership Award, which honors the player who best embodies the highest standards of leadership, integrity, teamwork and sportsmanship in his academic and athletic pursuits. Prus was also selected as CAA Football’s Student-Athlete of the Year. Showing a desire to unite behind a common cause, all 12 CAA Football schools partnered with the Be the Match Foundation and its “Get in the Game, Save a Life” program in 2015. The conference’s first-ever Be The Match Saturday was held on Oct. 31 to further raise awareness of the need for bone marrow donors. A legendary era in college athletics came to an end last year when CAA Commissioner Tom Yeager announced his retirement. Yeager was the longest-tenured commissioner at the Division I level, having guided the CAA for 31 years – including nine years of CAA Football oversight. On March 9, 2016, Joe D’Antonio was selected as the second commissioner of the CAA and CAA Football following a national search. CAA Football has enjoyed a tremendous record in the postseason, earning 94 total playoff berths and at least three in every year since 2006. The league’s 91 all-time wins in the NCAA playoffs are second-most of any FCS conference, and the league has further established its presence at the national level by placing 11 teams in the national semifinals over the past 10 seasons.

Villanova’s 2009 national championship and Richmond’s 2008 title mark the most recent national crowns for CAA Football. In 2004, James Madison claimed the national championship, becoming the first team since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986 to reach the final after winning three road playoff games. Delaware rolled past Colgate, 40-0, to capture the first title-game shutout in 2003. Former league member Massachusetts earned a national championship in 1998.

The league remains successful beyond the collegiate playing field. CAA Football has had 111 players drafted by NFL franchises dating back to 1948. A total of 33 players have been selected in the draft over the last 11 years, including 2013 Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco of Delaware (18th overall to the Baltimore Ravens in 2008). More than 30 players currently join Flacco on active NFL rosters. CAA Football’s geographic footprint extends up and down the East Coast, with schools located from Maine to North Carolina. This season’s members include UAlbany, Delaware, Elon, James Madison, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Richmond, Stony Brook, Towson, Villanova and William and Mary. While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years. On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except for football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993. The Atlantic 10 assumed operational control of the conference from 1997-2006, with Hofstra becoming part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004. With the conference under the CAA Football banner, UAlbany and Stony Brook were welcomed in 2013, followed by Elon in 2014.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 12 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
The University of New Hampshire was originally founded as a land-grant college whose mission was to shape and educate citizenry among the state’s farmers, business people and engineers. Today, the University is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate student body of about 11,942 and a graduate population of 2,257 in addition to 621 full-time faculty members, 86% of which have earned their doctorate degree. The University has grown into a top public research university occupying 2,600 acres of classic living and learning space while still maintaining the look and feel of a New England liberal arts college with a faculty dedicated to teaching. UNH’s student to faculty ratio registers at 18:1 with 85% of its classes having 50 students or less. HISTORY As one of the most prestigious institutions in the Northeast, the University of New Hampshire has always been recognized as a leader in education and research, spanning all fields of study and uniting them through interdisciplinary programs, labs, farms, theatres, research centers and libraries. Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, UNH was among the early state institutions of higher education whose formation was made possible by federal government land grants. The purpose for the grants was to establish colleges that would serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families. New Hampshire College was originally situated in Hanover, N.H. Here it was in connection with Dartmouth College before moving to Durham in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. The state legislature then granted its new charter as the University of New Hampshire in 1923. The University hosts 733 international students from more than 45 countries and boasts a population of students from all 50 states. Along with over 100 majors offered, UNH encompasses seven schools and colleges that undergraduates can choose from: the College of Liberal Arts, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, School of Health and Human Services, College of Life Sciences and Agricultures, Whittemore School of Business and Economics, and the Thompson School of Applied Science. At the very heart of the University’s undergraduate studies is the General Education Program. The GEP is a core program with a breadth of academic subjects that aims to acquaint the student with some of the major modes of thought necessary to understand oneself, others, society and the world.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 12 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
The University prides itself as being a top-10 entrepreneurial campus (Forbes.com and The Princeton Review) and is among the top 30 universities nationally in science research funding from NASA. UNH is home to the NASA-recognized Space Science Center; the Institute for Study for Earth, Oceans and Space; and the Institute of Marine Science and Engineering. The English program is staffed by an inspiring faculty of winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, the Edgar Allen Poe Award and the Young Poets Award. In addition, the Whittemore School of Business and Economics, established in 1962, was recently selected second among all business schools in a nationwide pool of business school deans. UNH also graduates students who attend top-notch graduate schools, including Law School at Harvard and Cornell, Engineering at Stanford, and Medical School at Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins and Harvard. CAMPUS In the last decade, several of the athletic facilities have received major upgrades and improvements. In September of 2001, the University completed a new $2.15 million track and field facility. The Jerry Azumah Performance Center, the strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House, was dedicated on July 8, 2003. UNH athletics has also added two $1.5 million outdoor artificial fields, Memorial Field and Bremner Field. Lundholm Gymnasium has received some major overhauls, including a new playing surface, new lights, new sound system, new bleacher system, new backboards and new scoreboards. The Paul Sweet Oval has been completely renovated to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. In 2013, UNH unveiled the new Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics. The $50 million building came is LEED “Gold” certified, a standard of environmentally friendly design and construction. The project was largely funded through private gifts, including a record-setting $25 million gift from alumnus and philanthropist Peter T. Paul, for whom the building is named. The building has 900 classroom seats with thousands of business and non-business students coming in and out each day. Breakout rooms equipped with video screens and recording equipment provide advanced technology to enhance the way students interact with each other, faculty and members of the business community. Its Great Hall features comfortable seating areas for studying, and an on-site café supplies students with a convenient dining option. Thompson Hall, one of the standing historical landmarks of the University, has been beautifully refurbished and restored. The University also completed a $52 million renovation of Kingsbury Hall, adding 6,000 square feet of student project space for students in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, as well as a $4.5 million revamp of Hewitt Hall to expand the School of Health and Human Services. In addition, the new 120,000 square foot Biological Sciences Building, Rudman Hall and the Spaulding Life Sciences Renovation project now provide state-of-the-art teaching and researching laboratories. The University also spent $15 million to complete Morse Hall, a science and engineering building as well as $8.2 million to modernize the Memorial Union Building. This revision to the existing student union building consisted of several upgrades including top kitchen and dining facilities, two theaters, student mailboxes, lounges and meeting rooms, as well as additional retail spaces such as the University Bookstore. The University has also completed construction of the new dining facility on Main Street, Holloway Commons, as well as the renovation of the Dimond Library. In November of 1995, construction of the $27 million Recreation and Sport Complex reached completion. The Whittemore Center includes a state-of-the-art 6,500 to 7,500 seat arena for hockey, concerts and convocations, as well as a three-level recreational sports facility within the structure that had housed the old Snively Arena. Combining the atmosphere of a small New England liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities of a major research university, the University of New Hampshire is a place where all students can find or create their own niche and succeed. While the University offers an extremely broad academic base with an inspiring faculty, it also provides students with thousands of opportunities to get involved, either through athletics, campus recreation, student life, or research. The University is a dynamic community that not only challenges its members academically but also expands their understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity and leads to incredible growth as students, faculty, staff, and as a community.

PRESIDENT
THE ADMINISTRATION
Mark W. Huddleston was elected the 19th president of the University of New Hampshire in July 2007, bringing three decades of experience in public and private education as a faculty member, dean and senior administrator. At UNH, President Huddleston oversees the implementation of a strategic plan that is transforming the University’s mission as the state’s flagship public research university and one of the nation’s few land-, sea- and space-grant universities. Created through a collaboration of faculty, students, staff, alumni and the University’s wider communities, this effort challenges the University to be innovative, entrepreneurial and responsive so that it can remain vital and financially sustainable. The plan continues to guide the University’s diverse work, from its response to a historic cut in state support in 2011 to the creation of groundbreaking new initiatives. Among these are: • the integration of UNH and the UNH School of Law (formerly Franklin Pierce Law Center), • an expansion of the UNH Manchester campus and the creation of the Emerging Technology Center, • the construction of the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics, • UNH’s participation in an agreement to double the number of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) graduates by 2025, • and the development of a comprehensive fund raising campaign. President Huddleston has also advocated for a dramatic increase in international engagement. In 2010, UNH launched the state’s only Confucius Institute with a partnership with Chengdu University, entered a partnership with Navitas, an Australian firm that recruits and supports international students, and celebrated the 25th anniversary of the International Affairs Dual Major. In May 2013, President Huddleston’s leadership as a strategic thinker, fiscal steward and collaborative problem-solver was recognized with his appointment to the newly formed Governor’s Commission on State Government Innovation, Efficiency and Transparency. President Huddleston was raised in Syracuse, N.Y., and was the first member of his family to attend college. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from the State University of New York-Buffalo, and both a master’s degree and Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He began his academic career at SUNY-Buffalo in 1977 as an assistant professor of political science. In 1980, he joined the faculty of the University of Delaware, where he served 24 years. There, he chaired the Department of Political Science and International Relations and was associate provost for international programs. In 2001, he was named dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, overseeing 45 academic departments and centers, and serving in that capacity until he was named president of Ohio Wesleyan University in 2004. An author of numerous books and articles, he has been a consultant for both the U.S. government and international organizations. He also served as an adviser in Bosnia on rebuilding financial and administrative infrastructures after the Dayton accords. President Huddleston is an incorporator of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and serves on the board of directors of the New Hampshire Business Committee for the Arts. He and his wife, Emma Bricker, have three children, Andy, Kate and Giles.

THE ADMINISTRATION
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
The 2016-17 academic year marks the 17th year Marty Scarano is serving as the director of athletics at the University of New Hampshire. During his tenure, Scarano has heightened national exposure for UNH athletics with academics, facility renovations and programmatic advancement being top priorities. There has been over $41 million in capital improvements since Scarano’s hiring in the summer of 2000. The largest-scale renovation – Wildcat Stadium, a $25 million athletic complex that will be home to multiple UNH teams and multi-purposed for other events – was completed in August 2016. The structure, built on the west side of Mooradian Field, offers increased and improved seating, state-of-the-art broadcast capability, concessions and restrooms, as well as a 30’ by 50’ video board. In the spring of 2015, UNH finished construction on the $2 million Watkins Center for StudentAthlete Excellence at the Field House for its Division I and Northeast Passage student-athletes, funded entirely on private donations. That fall, the Whittemore Center – home to both ice hockey teams and site of the 2016 Women’s Frozen Four – received a substantial facelift ($1.3 million) in the form of a four-sided, center-hung video board, a high resolution end zone board and LED display band. Scarano has helped elevate UNH athletics onto the collegiate national stage. To accomplish that goal, the University has taken on the task of hosting many major NCAA championships and that includes the 2017 NCAA Skiing Championships. Most recently, New Hampshire was host of the 2016 Women’s Frozen Four at the Whittemore Center. In 2015, UNH hosted the Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Regional at the Verizon Wireless Arena (Manchester, N.H.) – for the sixth time the past 13 years – and assisted Hockey East with the Men’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four at TD Garden (Boston, Mass). The Wildcat athletic department played host to several highly successful NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Regionals at the Verizon Wireless Arena in 2004, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015. UNH was host of the NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four at the Whittemore Center in 2002, 2005 and 2016. In addition, UNH successfully hosted the 2007 NCAA Skiing Championships in Washington Valley as well as the 2005 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Northeast Regional at the Whittemore Center. The women’s hockey team played in the first outdoor game in the history of NCAA women’s hockey in 2010 at the Sun Life Frozen Fenway game and defeated Northeastern, while the men’s squad played in the 2012 Sun Life Frozen Fenway game against Maine; the men’s hockey team returns to Fenway Park in January 2017. Football also competed in Colonial Clash games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., in 2010 and 2011; the Wildcats were victorious on both occasions against the University of Massachusetts. Student-athletes have excelled both in academics and athletics during Scarano’s tenure. A total of five University of New Hampshire teams (women’s cross country, field hockey, football, gymnastics and women’s track & field) received NCAA Public Recognition for posting a multi-year Academic Progress Rate score in the top 10 percent of their respective sport, and three squads received a perfect score in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate. One individual was bestowed an NCAA Elite 90 award for having the highest GPA at the women’s cross country national championship. UNH won the America East Academic Cup each of the last two years (2014-15 and 2015-16) by recording the highest GPA among all conference student-athletes with a mark of 3.23 each year; the Wildcats placed the highest number of representatives on the America East Fall Academic Honor Roll for the seventh consecutive time and then had the highest percentage of representatives on the Winter/Spring Honor Roll. New Hampshire won two sport-specific Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards in addition to the Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2015-16. UNH had another stellar year of competition in the 2015-16 academic season. The Wildcats placed 85th in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup and the Wildcats were once again the top-ranked America East school. During Scarano’s tenure, UNH teams have made 72 NCAA postseason appearances and captured 24 conference titles. The ski team has competed at the NCAA Championships every year and consistently places among the top 10 in the nation. Gymnastics has also been a model of consistency and with participation in 15 NCAA tournaments. The football program has qualified for the NCAA FCS postseason for a nation-leading 12 consecutive seasons and advanced to the semifinals in both 2013 and 2014. Men’s ice hockey holds a pair of Hockey East titles and has made 11 trips to the NCAA tournament, including Frozen Four appearances in 2002 and 2003. Women’s ice hockey has seen NCAA action five times with two Frozen Four appearances; the squad captured consecutive Hockey East Championships from 2006-09. Volleyball has also made six NCAA tournament appearances, including back-to-back-to-back trips (2013-15), after capturing conference titles in 1998, 2002, 2003, 2013, 2014 and 2015. The field hockey team captured its second America East crown in three years – and third with Scarano at the helm – in 2013 en route to its third national tournament appearance. Women’s lacrosse has earned a pair of NCAA berths (2004, 2008), one coming after an America East championship victory in 2004. Women’s soccer won its first America East tournament title in 2014 en route to its first NCAA tourney appearance. Two members of the women’s outdoor track and field team qualified for the NCAAs out of the regionals and earned team points with All-America efforts in the steeplechase in both ’15 and ‘16. Additionally, 24 coaches have won 77 “Coach of the Year” awards during Scarano’s tenure, ranging from the conference, regional and national levels. In 2007, Scarano was awarded the National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) AD of the Year for the FCS. Additionally, Scarano was also named the All-American Football Foundation Athletic Director of the Year for FCS football in the Northeast region. Scarano was the chair of the executive committees for Atlantic 10 football, Hockey East and America East from 2003-07. He is currently both the Chairperson of Athletic Directors Council for America East and the chair of CAA Football. He also served as chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Committee in 2005-06 and 2006-07. Scarano was a member of the Hockey East restructuring team that successfully recruited Notre Dame and University of Connecticut to the conference. Scarano was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 2014. Outside of athletics, Scarano is in his 13th year on the Board of Corporators at Canterbury Shaker Village, a non-profit museum located in Canterbury, N.H. Before arriving at UNH, Scarano held the position of Athletics Director at Colorado College from July 1996 through June 2000. During his tenure, Colorado College was ranked among the top 20 Division III programs in the Sears Cup national standings and produced several All-Americans, all-academic award winners and NCAA post-graduate scholarship recipients. Prior to his stay in Colorado Springs, Scarano worked for 13 years at Colgate University, where he served as assistant director of athletics, director of physical education, associate director, and senior associate director. Scarano, a native of Pittsburgh, Pa., is a 1978 graduate of Penn State University, where he started his athletic career as assistant ticket manager and the athletics events manager from 1980-83. Scarano holds a Master’s Degree in Environmental History from Colgate. He and his wife, Cydney, have three children: daughter, Lynden; son, Kyle, a recent graduate of UNH; and daughter, Corey, a senior at UNH.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 12 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
JERRY AZUMAH PERFORMANCE CENTER
As a starting tailback at the University of New Hampshire, Jerry Azumah ‘99 earned a reputation as an unstoppable record-breaker. By the time he graduated from the University and joined the Chicago Bears as a fifth-round draft pick, he had already smashed four NCAA FCS career records and been awarded the Walter Payton Award for his outstanding achievement as the nation’s top offensive player. At the age of 25, he did it again. With a gift to fund the Jerry Azumah Athletic Performance Center, he was the youngest UNH alum on record to give a gift of more than $100,000 to his alma mater. The gift provided funding for the renovation and complete overhaul, including state-of-the-art equipment of the University’s strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House. The Azumah Performance Center opened in the summer of 2003. The massive workout facility, which was originally 4,000 square feet, grew to over 6,000 square feet during a summer renovation in 2009. The renovated center features 5,000 pounds of Olympic weights, 7,000 pounds of dumbbells, 18 Powerlift platform stations, 12 Hammer strength machines, an additional 15,000 pounds of weights and 1,500 square feet of warmup area. “His National Football League profile will tell you that Jerry Azumah was 5-11, weighed 195, and played defensive cornerback with the Chicago Bears,” said Marty Scarano, University of New Hampshire athletic director. “What those statistics miss is the size of Jerry Azumah’s heart. We are so proud to have Jerry’s name affiliated with the University of New Hampshire. Jerry was a leader while attending UNH and continues to set a great example as a graduate.” Azumah is the son of Theophilius and Bertha Azumah, natives of Ghana who settled in Worcester, Mass. He came to UNH in 1995 as a freshman, majored in sociology, and minored in justice studies. “My scholarship at UNH allowed me to pursue my interests in the classroom, build a successful college football career and changed my life on every level,” said Azumah. “I’m pleased to be able to make a major contribution to my university and to bring new opportunities to today’s student-athletes.” During his four years at UNH, Azumah was an All-American tailback and has been referred to as a player who comes along once in a coach’s lifetime by former UNH football coach Bill Bowes. He holds numerous school records, including the record for touchdowns rushing (60) and overall TDs (69), and FCS records for rushing yards (6,193), all-purpose yards (8,376) and points scored (424). He had the six best — and eight of the top 10— UNH rushing games ever and holds the all-time FCS rushing record of 6,193 yards. At that time, he was the only runner in FCS history to have four 1,000-yard seasons. Azumah is one of the only players in the history of the NFL to make the transition from offense to being a starting cornerback. In 2003 he became the first Wildcat to ever play in the Pro Bowl, where he excelled as a return specialist. He was a full-time starter at cornerback from 2001 through 2005 and made significant contributions on defense. Azumah holds the distinction of being the last Chicago Bear to score a touchdown at Soldier Field when he intercepted Donovan McNabb in a divisional playoff game versus the Philadelphia Eagles and ran 39 yards for a touchdown Jan. 19, 2002. The play gave the Bears a 14-13 lead in the third quarter. Azumah announced his retirement from NFL football in 2006 due to injuries, but he continues to keep in touch with his alma mater and is always looking for new ways he can help the University, the athletic department and the Wildcat football program.
The James H. “Red” Hayes Locker Room Solely for the use of the football players and staff is the James H. “Red” Hayes Football Locker Room, located on the bottom level of the Field House adjacent to Cowell Stadium. Constructed in 1988, the locker room was a gift of Red Hayes (‘32), a former Wildcat player under legendary coach William Cowell who went on to a successful business career and gave distinguished service to the State of New Hampshire. The locker room features 110 separate lockers that accommodate each player’s equipment and uniform, as well as a players’ lounge adjacent to the locker area. Locker room renovations during the summer of 2012 led to the installation of a new lighting system, the addition of a 55-inch flat screen TV and Fathead-designed murals (pictured right) featuring historical Wildcat moments. The Brice-Cowell Musket (below), which goes to the winner of the annual UNH-Maine gridiron battle, resides on the wall of the locker room. A locker memorial for Todd Walker was added in honor of the former Wildcat who suffered an untimely and heroic death in March 2011 while protecting a female friend.
