The University of New Hampshire (10-2) opened the NCAA playoffs with a 49-13 win at No. 8 McNesse State (9-2) Saturday. Allen Lessels writes in the Manchester Union Leader about a dominating performance by UNH, which will have a rematch at Villanova Saturday in the quarterfinals.
UNH squeaked out a 28-24 win on Oct. 10 for the only loss on Nova's ledger this fall.
It's always interesting to see how the game looked to the "other" team's press, so check out the story in the American Press of Southwest Louisiana.
Dominic Randolph threw for 347 yards and three touchdowns as Holy Cross pushed Villanova hard in a 38-28 loss in another opening-round game that the Worcester Telegram story called the end of an era.
The Philadelphia Inquirer story says, "Holy Cross quarterback Dominic Randolph and the Crusaders' pass-happy offense were nearly unstoppable yesterday," but that Villanova had even more firepower.
The Telegram preview for the Holy Cross game focused on coach Tom Gilmore's homecoming to Philadelphia. The story was headlined: On his turf; Gilmore taught HC all about Philly toughness.
And straight from the pages of Ripley's (or in this case the Great Falls Tribune), Montana not only escaped from a 41-14 second-half hole against South Dakota State, but went on to a 61-48 victory.
Finally, congratulations to the Dartmouth men's basketball team which defeated Hartford, 68-56, to win for the first time after opening the season with four losses. (link)
