Welcome Home
After a three-game road trip, Stonehill returns home for the first time since early September for a meeting with Assumption.

Now That We Are Here
Stonehill will play three of its next four games at the friendly confines of W.B. Mason Stadium, a place they have gone 4-3 under head coach Rob Talley.

Only One Better
Freshman Stephan Neville (Foxborough, Mass.) ranks second in the country in kickoff return average at 35.7. Only Richard Medlin of Fayetteville State averages more per return (38.5). In last week's loss at American International, Neville had returns of 31, 47 and 65 yards respectively.

Easy Money
Sophomore Eddie Vachon (Newton, Mass.) racked up 172 all-purpose yards in the loss at American International last week. He had three catches for a career-high 95 yards, added 34 on the ground, 10 in punt returns and 33 in kickoff return yards, marking the fourth time this season he has gone over the century mark in all-purpose yardage.

Everywhere You Need Him To Be
Senior linebacker Greg Sanzari (Centerport, N.Y.) is eighth in the nation in tackles per game at 11.1 an outing. He has totaled double figure tackles in four of the six contests thus far this season, including two games where he has registered 15.

A Season Ago
Stonehill has won three of the last four meetings with the Greyhounds, including last season's 20-14 win in Worcester. In that contest, Eddie Vachon ran for 76 yards and a score and Cruz Parsons (Signal Hill, Calif.) and David Pringle (west Haven, Conn.) connected for a 44-yard touchdown in Robert Talley's first win as head coach.

When Clinton Was In Office
Cruz Parsons threw for 312 yards in a loss at Iona and 216 in last week's loss at American International, marking the first time a Stonehill quarterback has thrown for more than 200 yards in consecutive games since 1994.

Head And Shoulders
Stonehill is first in the Northeast-10 in turnover margin at +5. In its two years under head coach Rob Talley, the Skyhawks are +21, while the next closest Northeast-10 team, Pace, is +3.

Turnovers Tell The Story
In their only win this season, Stonehill didn't commit any turnovers. They have seven in the five games since - all losses.

Punts Away
With the combination of junior Brendan Gorey (West Islip, N.Y.) and freshman Chris Rooney (Quincy, Mass.) leading the way, Stonehill ranks first in the Northeast-10 in punting average at 35.6.

Sophomore Slump?
After making 10 catches out of the backfield a season ago, Eddie Vachon has already surpassed that total so far this season. In just six games, he has 11 catches for 219 yards - good for a team-high average of 19.9 yards.

Palmer Plays Big
Senior Chris Palmer (Santa Barbara, Calif.) had several huge catches in the loss to American International. One of his better catches came on 3rd and 22, when he hauled in a 32 yard strike from Parsons. He finished the day with six catches for 76 yards.

Red Zone Redux
After going 18 for 21 in red zone chances a season ago, the Skyhawks have gone just 11 for 19 this season, including being stopped on downs six times.

Incidental Yardage
Stonehill holds a huge advantage against its opponents in interception and fumble return yardage. Keyed by Michael Greene's (Plainview, N.Y.) 91 yard fumble return for a touchdown against Southern Connecticut, the Skyhawks have a 191-1 edge over its opponents.
