Endicott jumped to an early lead and never looked back, going up 27-0 at halftime. The Gulls controlled momentum throughout the game and never gave UNE any hope of getting back into it.
The Gulls offense was led by a strong performance from quarterback Clayton Marengi, who threw for three touchdowns and ran for another on the ground. He also was the team’s leading rusher on the day.
Running back Anthony Caggianelli had a solid game, finishing with 58 rushing yards on an efficient 8.3 yards per carry and a touchdown. His touchdown on the day was the 22nd of his career, which puts him second all-time for the Gulls.
A stingy Endicott defense held UNE to just 118 passing yards, their second-lowest total on the season. The Gulls also forced two turnovers and finished with three sacks on the day. UNE was held scoreless through three quarters by the Gulls.
Endicott finished the season 9-1 and undefeated in conference play. They will look to continue their success into the NCAA tournament.
