Husson Honors Seniors; Defeats Becker

Bangor, ME -- On a day in which Husson University honored it’s football seniors, one stood above the rest. Julius “Juice” Williams (Sr., Boston, MA) scored two touchdowns and amassed 250 yards on 16 carries. Williams' two touchdowns were Husson’s first two of the day, and the Eagles would not look back, defeating the Hawks of Becker College 74-22.

After a turnover on downs by the Hawks on the first possession of the game, the Eagles took over on their offensive 41 yard line and would only need five plays to reach the end zone, the fifth of which being a 6 yard scamper by Williams to put Husson on the board. A little over four minutes later Williams and the Eagles would find the end zone again, this time from two yards out, on the fourth play of a 76 yard drive, putting Husson up 14-0. The Eagles would go on to score at least 14 points in each quarter including Mike Toothaker’s (Jr., Wilton, ME) 3 touchdowns and 112 yards on the day.

The Hawks were lead by the two-headed rushing attack of Kevin Portee (Fy., Worcester, MA) who had 122 yards on 6 carries and Jimmy Chery (Jr., Malden MA) picking up 93 yards on 20 carries.

Husson accumulated 686 total yards, 552 of which on the ground, as Jack Hersom (So., Sidney, ME) threw for 134 yards on just 5 out 7 passing attempts. The Hawks gained 299 yards on the ground collectively and threw for another 160 yards unfortunately with not much to show for the effort.

Williams, on Saturday, became the only player in school history to break the 1,000 yard mark in more than one season and over the fall has become the schools all-time leading rusher with over 3,500 yards.

With the win the Eagles improve to 4-5 over and 3-3 in their first season in the ECFC and Becker drops to 0-10, 0-6 in the ECFC respectively.
