BANGOR, Maine - Joe Seccareccia was 18-of-24 through the air for 298 yards and four touchdowns Saturday, leading Husson to a 40-7 dismantling of Castleton (Vt.) at Winkin Sports Complex in the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) opener for both teams. The Eagles win their eighth-straight ECFC game.
Husson (2-1, 1-0 ECFC) rolled up 545 yards of total offense while limiting Castleton (2-2, 0-1 ECFC) to 222. The Eagles recorded 301 yards passing and 244 via the ground.
The Eagles struck first midway through the first quarter, as Seccareccia hit Deon Wiggins in stride for a 61-yard touchdown.
The Spartans only score on the day, a Corey Brimmer one-yard touchdown run four seconds into the second quarter, tied the affair at seven and capped off a 20-play, 75-yard drive.
Husson retook the lead for good deep in the second stanza when John Smith plunged into the endzone from four yards out to finish off a 17-play, 97-yard march that lasted 8:45. The extra point attempt was blocked, making the score 13-7 with 2:44 on the clock.
After the a quick three-and-out on the Spartans next possession, which included two incomplete
passes by George Busharis, the Eagles game themselves breathing room after taking over with 2:08 left before halftime. Three plays later, Seccareccia found Greg Moore behind the Castleton secondary for a 63-yard scoring toss. Smith's rush on the two-point conversion attempt was successful, giving the Eagles a two-touchdown lead at intermission.
Husson's defense smothered Castleton throughout the final two quarters, limiting the visitors to just 101 yards and three turnover on downs and as many three-and-outs.
Meanwhile, the Eagles put together a 10-play, 85-yard scoring drive in the first 4:27 of the third quarter. Smith finished off the series with a 13-yard touchdown scamper. The extra point attempt missed left, but Husson led 27-7.
A Seccareccia to Robenson Saintard connection 10 seconds into the fourth quarter turned into a 45-yard touchdown pass and a 33-7 Husson advantage, capping an eight-play, 72-yard drive.
