Bangor, Me.– After suffering their first lost in over two years in the regular season, the No. 11-ranked Wesley Wolverines took their anger out on the Husson Eagles, crushing them 72-0.
It only took 14 seconds into the game for the Wolverines to score their first touchdown when wide receiver Matt Barile took the opening kickoff into the endzone to put Wesley up 7-0.
Six different players scored their first career touchdown for Wesley, including wide receiver Steven Koudossou who caught a 77-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Shane McSweeny. At halftime, the Wolverines were already winning 55-0.
Wesley held Husson to a negative 15 yards rushing on the ground and a meager 98 yards on offense.
McSweeny went 13 for18, throwing more than 225 yards and four touchdowns. His leading receiver, Steven Koudossou, caught two touchdowns for 106 yards.
Linebacker Jeff Morgan led the defense with seven tackles. The Wolverines caused four turnovers against the Eagles offense, including three interceptions and one fumble recovery.
The victory in Maine helped soothe the pain of the Sept. 10 defeat at the hands of the Kean University Cougars, who snapped Wesley football team’s 28-game regular season winning streak – and a 14 game regular season road streak – when they defeated the Wolverines 31-28.
Since their victory Sept. 24, the Wolverines were rated No. 11 in the D3football.com rankings and No. 16 in the American Football Coaches Association poll.
