Weekly Notes:

ASSUMPTION: Senior wide receiver Jake Beers (Duxbury, Mass.) became the Greyhounds career leader in receptions catching six for 91 yards versus Merrimack and now has 143 for his career (143 catches-1,724 yards) surpassing Eric Mauer (1997-2000) who caught 140 in his career. Beers has caught a pass in 21 straight games. With freshman running back Herb Woodard’s 75-yard touchdown run versus Merrimack, he is the only back in Greyhound history to have more than one run of 70+ yards from scrimmage. Accomplished just eight times in their history Woodard has done it twice, also running 75 yards for a score against Saint Anselm (9-15-07).

BENTLEY: A number of milestones were reached in Bentley's win over Stonehill Saturday. Sophomore Tyler McNamara (Medway, Mass.) broke the Northeast-10 single season field goal record with his 11th, junior QB John White (Kingston, Mass.) became the third player in school history to amass 5,000 yards in career total offense, and senior Paul Tetzel became the first Falcon to surpass 2,000 career return yards. Bentley forced five turnovers against Stonehill, one more than the Skyhawks had in their first six games combined.
