Colonels Shut Down Hawks

MILTON, Mass. - Curry College Football marked their second win of the season Saturday afternoon with a stunning 49-9 victory over the Hilbert College Hawks on Walter M. Katz Field.

With the win, Curry improves to 2-2 on the season.

The first quarter of the non-conference bout saw no scoring from either side. The second quarter of the day's matchup would fall heavily in favor of the hosting Colonels with Curry putting 42 points on the board in the second period of play alone.

Just eight seconds into the second quarter, Curry's Montie Quinn (Goose Creek, SC) would begin his spectacular performance with a 10-yard rush to put the Colonels up 7-0. Just over three minutes later, Quinn would push the Colonels to a 14-point lead, capping a five-play drive with a 20-yard rush. 

In a similar fashion, Curry's Montie Quinn rushed for his third touchdown of the afternoon, putting the hosts in front 21-0 with under 10 minutes remaining in the half. 

A defensive stand by the Colonels prompted a punt from the visiting Hawks with 7:44 remaining in the first half of play. The Colonels' offense was able to push their way deep into enemy territory, facilitating Montie Quinn's fourth and final touchdown of the afternoon to cap off the eight-play, 59-yard play to put Curry up 28-0. 

The Colonels regained possession with just under four minutes in the half after a short one-minute drive from the visitors. Curry's Maxx Bell (Auburn, Maine) would cap off a seven-play drive for the Colonels with a 15-yard touchdown reception from Justin Mullaney (Danvers, Mass.) to put Curry up 35-0. 

Three incomplete passes from the visiting Hawks prompted a punt with under 30 seconds left in the half. The Colonels would march down the field and elect to take a timeout with one second remaining in the half. A 35-yard pass and an outstanding one-handed grab made by Curry's Gabe DeSouza (Everett, Mass.) put the Colonels up 42-0 with no time remaining in the half.

Curry College senior wide receiver Gabe Desouza would mark his second score of the afternoon on a 14-yard pass from Mullaney, capping off a five-play, 50-yard drive to take a 49-0 lead with 6:42 remaining in the third quarter. 

The visiting Hilbert College Hawks would record their first touchdown late in the third quarter, Evan Reaniewicz receiving a 28-yard pass from Jake Dressel. With 5:43 remaining in regulation, the Hawks' defense marked a safety following a sack in the endzone. 

Curry College would take the win on Walter M. Katz Field by a final score of 49-9.

The Colonels were led by Montie Quinn who marked four touchdowns and 171 yards on 20 attempts. Curry's Gabe DeSouza recorded two touchdowns and 63 yards. Curry's starting quarterback, Justin Mullaney went 11-18 through the air for 161 yards and three touchdowns.

Curry's Greg Silvia paced the defense, marking eight total tackles in the win on home turf.

The Colonels return to the field next Saturday as they travel to face Commonwealth Coast Conference opponent University of New England at 1 PM.
