Back Ay W.B.
Following a last second loss at Northeast-10 opponent, Pace, Stonehill gets back in action with another Friday night contest at home, this time against Southern Connecticut.

In Control
The visiting Owls are 11-0 all-time against the Skyhawks, including last year's 41-6 win in New Haven.

Owls On Their Perch
The Owls have dealt the Skyhawks four shutouts in their 11 all-time victories over Stonehill.

Bird On A Wire
During a stretch of meetings between 2004 and 2007, the Skyhawks were held scoreless for 11 quarters as the Owls racked up 107 points.

Rainy Days
In their last visit to Stonehill, a driving rainstorm kept the score low and the Owls escaped with a 14-0 win on two second half touchdowns.

Week Three Karma?
Last season, the Skyhawks were 0-10 all-time against C.W. Post when they defeated the Pioneers, 12-7, in the third week of the season.

Adjusting Nicely
Senior wideout turned defensive back turned wideout, Chris Palmer (Santa Barbara, Calif.) has moved seamlessly into his new role. He leads the Skyhawks in catches (6) and receiving yards (69). He had five grabs and two touchdowns in the loss at Pace.

Not The First Time
Chris Palmer has had multiple touchdown receptions in a contest before. He registered a three touchdown game against C.W. Post as a sophomore in 2006.

Holland's Chance
Senior fullback Bob Holland (North Andover, Mass.) went the entire 2007 season without a getting a chance to carry the ball. In the loss at Pace, he had two opportunities gaining four yards.

Parsons' Plan
Cruz Parsons (Signal Hill, Calif.) has 26 career touchdown passes and only 12 interceptions. He is currently on a streak of 38 straight passes without a miscue. This streak pales in comparison to the 120 pass stretch he had during the 2007 season.

Miner 49er
Sophomore defensive back Anthony Tomasz (Hopkinton, Mass.) had a career day in the loss at Pace. He made eight tackles and had his first career interception which he returned 49 yards.

Too Good To Be True
Sophomore defensive back Steven Good (Green Harbor, Mass.) had his first career sack in the loss at Pace.

Stephan Steppin' Up
Freshman Stephan Neville (Foxborough, Mass.) continues to make a huge impact. After collecting the game clinching interception in the win over Wagner, he returned the opening kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown in the eventual 28-24 loss at Pace. For his efforts (he added two solo tackles) he was named Northeast-10 Rookie of the Week.

It's Been Awhile
Stephan Neville's selection as Northeast-10 Rookie of the Week marks the first time a Stonehill student-athlete has captured the weekly honor since Cruz Parsons was tabbed for the award on October 5, 2005.

Return To Sender
Stephan Neville's kickoff return for a touchdown in the loss at Pace is the second kickoff return for a score in the past four games for the Skyhawks. Jeff Payne (West Haven, Conn.) had a 74-yard score when Stonehill defeated Merrimack last season.

What Could Have Been
That total could've been three. In the win over the Wagner, Torrey Price (Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.) returned a punt 63 yards for an apparent touchdown but the score was nullified by a blocking in the back penalty. Dan Cahill was the last Stonehill player to return a punt for a touchdown on November 11, 1995.

By George!
Senior defensive end George Whetstone (Westwood, Mass.) had a career game in the loss at Pace. He had eight tackles (three and a half for loss), two sacks and a pass breakup.

1,000 Yards And Runnin'
Senior Jeff Payne is closing in on 1,000 career rushing yards. Entering Friday's contest he has 923 yards on 213 carries (4.3 average). After his sophomore season, Payne had just 58 yards on 24 career carries.

Program First
In its 2008 season opener, Stonehill defeated Division I-AA Wagner, 14-13, for its first-ever win over a Football Championship Subdivision team.

Clock Killing Drive
Trailing 13-7 entering the fourth quarter, Stonehill held the ball for 11:05 of the final frame. Most of that time was gobbled up during a 20-play, 80-yard drive that took 10:32 off the clock and resulted in the winning score.

Drivin' It Home
In the loss at Pace, the Skyhawks had a similar drive but it took much less time. Trailing 21-17, Stonehill went 89 yards in 12 plays in just 2:37. The Skyhawks scored on a 29-yard pass from Cruz Parsons to Chris Palmer with 34 seconds left.

Cory's Story
After going the entire 2007 season without a catch, junior wide receiver Cory Wright (Manchester, N.H.) had a 10-yard reception, (the second of his career) in the season-opening win over Wagner and had two key grabs for 44 yards in the final drive of the loss at Pace. 

Third Quarter Lull
In Stonehill's two contests thus far this season, no points have been scored in the third quarter. 

Career Days
In last year's matchup with the Owls, Greg Sanzari (Centerport, N.Y.) made a career-high 14 tackles, while classmate Jon Kilborn (North Dartmouth, Mass.) had six stops, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
