Football ground Saint Anselm, 30-8 in NE10 opener

WORCESTER, Mass. - The Assumption University football team used two blocked kicks and three rushing touchdowns to defeat Saint Anselm College 30-8 in their Northeast 10 Conference opener, Friday evening at Brian Kelly '83 Stadium. 

THE BASICS
Score: Assumption University 30, Saint Anselm College 8
Records: Greyhounds (2-1, 1-0 NE10) | Hawks (1-2, 0-1 NE10)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Assumption was the first team to score, as Kameron Robbins scored on a one-yard touchdown dive on the Greyhounds' first drive of the game. The ensuing possession for Saint Anselm resulted in a snap that sailed over the punter's head and batted out of the back of the endzone for a safety. On the Hawks' next possession, Ruairi Ritson blocked the punt at the 32-yard line and Matt Barrino scooped and scored, putting the Greyhounds up 16-0 one minute into the second quarter. 
 
Saint Anselm got on the board with 1:15 remaining in the second quarter with a scoop and a score of their own, and with a two-point conversion brought the game to halftime with the hosts leading 16-8. After a scoreless third quarter, the Greyhounds' defense held the Hawks scoreless, while Robbins and Jay Kastantin ran the ball through the opposing defense for 94 yards and two scores to pull away for a 30-8 final score.
