The UMass defense dominated Towson on a clear and cool night. The defense held the Tigers to 11 first downs and 263 yards of total offense.
Towson scored on a fumble by Kyle Havens in our own endzone, and then on a fumble by Hernandez on the UMass five yard line. Towson was up 14-7 and I believe they had one first down at that time.
Tyler Holmes and Mike Mele had 16 and 13 TT each. I think it was Shane Viveiros who had the fourth down goal line stand tackle.
The offense had a wonderful 97 yard drive in the last three minutes of the first half to take the lead.

The Towson Band did a classy tribute to George N. Parks during halftime. The Tiger band wore black ribbons on their uniforms to honor UMass' band director.

The Tiger's team was less welcoming as they had three personal fouls including a chop block on a UMass defensive lineman that had the Minutemen defense fired up.

UNH lost to Maine, which puts a serious dent in the Wildcats playoff chances. William and Mary took down Villanova.
That leaves UMass and Delaware the only CAA teams with no league losses.
