BANGOR- The Endicott College Gulls took advantage of three Husson fumbles (two on kickoffs in the first half), and would roll past the Eagles 48-14 in the Conference of New England Football opener played at the Winkin Complex on Saturday afternoon.
Endicott (3-1, 1-0 CNE) scored first on a 3-yard run by Bryan Metayer, and converted a two-point conversion on a rush by Jayson Little. The Gulls would also get long touchdown passes from Shea Lynch to Mike Greene (52 and 63 yards) in the first half, and a blocked punt by Jacob Phelps that was also returned by Phelps for a score of 44 yards to build a 35-7 advantage at the break. Both Husson touchdowns on the day came on passes from Max Clark to Cam Holmes of 24 and 18 yards.
