DURHAM – Senior quarterback Seth Morgan tossed six touchdown passes to fire the University of New Hampshire, receiving votes in this week’s American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Division I Football Championship Subdivision poll, to a 45-6 victory over Stonehill College in a non-conference football matchup at Wildcat Stadium Saturday night.

Morgan matched the UNH program-record set by his head coach Rick Santos with the six touchdown passes, completing 22-of-30 passes for 387 yards, finishing just a yard shy of 400 total yards by adding 12 yards on two carries.

Three of Morgan’s touchdown passes went to junior Joey Corcoran, who finished with 129 yards on five receptions, while classmate Caleb Burke also surpassed 100 receiving yards with three catches, two touchdowns, for 134 yards.

Senior Josiah Silver paced the UNH defense with four tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks for a loss of 11 yards. Sophomore Jackson Stone of Lebanon added three stops (one solo), a half sack and forced fumble, while junior Will Coty contributed five stops (one solo) and a half sack.

New Hampshire grabbed the lead with a nine play, 58-yard drive on the opening possession of the game with Morgan connecting Corcoran for the first time for an 11-yard touchdown toss 4:38 into the contest.

Stonehill had an immediate answer, covering 70-yards on nine plays on the ensuing possession before Woodard scored from two yards out. The Skyhawks converted on a fourth down in their own territory near midfield with a Woodard one-yard plunge and got a key 34-yard completion by Carraha to junior Kyree Drake to fuel the scoring drive.

New Hampshire provided an answer of the Stonehill momentum with a quick touchdown of its own as Morgan and Corcoran connected for a touchdown again on a 56-yard pass just 2:07 later. That would spark the Wildcats to 38-unanswered points to win going away. Morgan hit Burke for a 36-yard score one play after Carraha was intercepted by senior Noah Stansbury five minutes into the second quarter and then added a touchdown pass to Londonderry sophomore Colby Ramshaw with just five seconds remaining in the first half for a 28-6 halftime lead.

Morgan tacked on two more touchdown passes in the third, starting with a 68-yard pass to Burke and then connecting with Corcoran for a third time with a 32-yard score midway through the frame. Junior Nick Mazzie (Boxford, Massachusetts/Central Catholic) capped the scoring in the contest with a 44-yard field goal with 1:12 to go in the third.

Stonehill put together a 16-play drive in the fourth quarter all the way to the UNH 7-yard line, but was unable to come away with a second score as Carraha was sacked by Coty and Stone with five minutes remaining on fourth and goal at the 12-yard line.
