Bedell carried the ball 22 times for 133 yards and a career-high three touchdowns, while White had 17 carries for 103 yards. Redshirt freshman QB Joe Carbone (Wethersfield, Conn.) added two rushing touchdowns in the victory. Defensively, senior DB Naim Cheeseboro (King of Prussia, Pa.) led the Seawolves with five tackles, while senior LB Julian Quintin (East Brunswick, N.J.) added his second career interception.
