Tupper, the Bryant University bulldog mascot,was named after Earl Tupper, president and founder of the

Tupperware Corpora-tion. Mr. Tupper donated his 220-

acre Smithfield farmestate to what was then

Bryant College on October24, 1967. Tupper, who had

originally planned to sell hisestate, was so impressed

with Bryant thathe decided todonate the land instead, allowing

Bryant to move from its original locationon Providence’s East Side to its current

Smithfield, R.I. residence.

Originally nicknamed the Indians, Bryant became the Bulldogs in 1995. Out of appreciation for Earl Tupper and his generosity, when the school made the move,Tupper the Bulldog was born.

Hon. Ronald K. MachtleyBryant University President U

nder the leadership of President Ronald K.Machtley, Bryant University has evolved intoone of the most progressive and leading in-

stitutions of higher learning in New England.

Hardly a president who remains behind thescenes when it comes to intercollegiate athletics,Machtley — a former collegiate student-athlete inhis own right — has been an ardent supporter ofBulldog sports since becoming the University’sseventh president in 1996.

Mr. Machtley’s “New Century Plan For Excellence”initiated the most significant enhancements to theBryant campus and community since the univer-sity’s move to Smithfield, and athletics was no ex-ception. His New Century Plan saw the Bulldogs’varsity athletics program expand to 22 teams withthe addition of football, field hockey, men’s andwomen’s lacrosse, and in 2005 men’s andwomen’s swimming.

The addition of the new varsity programs broughtabout an overhaul of the university’s athletics fa-cilities as well. These renovations are highlightedby the construction of Bulldog Stadium, whichserves as the home of the Bryant football, soccerand lacrosse teams, as well as state-of-the-artfields for baseball, softball and field hockey.Changes to Bulldog athletics also inspired andsupported the introduction of the Wellness Center,which provides Bryant with a health and fitnesscenter that is second to none.

Before assuming the presidency at Bryant in Juneof 1996, Mr. Machtley was best known as one ofRhode Island’s leading public servants. He served

as a member of the United States House of Rep-resentatives from 1988 to 1995 and was a mem-ber of the House Armed Services Committee. Hewas also the ranking Republican on the Small Busi-ness Committee’s Minority Enterprise, Finance andUrban Development Subcommittee and co-founder of the first House Working Group on Men-tal Health. As a reflection of the esteem in whichhis congressional colleagues held him, Mr. Macht-ley was elected president of his congressional classduring each of his terms in the House.

Upon completion of his term in Congress, Mr.Machtley served as a partner in the internationaltelecommunications law firm Wilkinson, Barker,Knauer & Quinn in Washington, D.C. He is admit-ted to practicing law in Rhode Island, Massachu-setts and Florida.

President Machtley is a 1970 graduate of theUnited States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Heearned a juris doctorate from Suffolk University in1978 and served on active duty in the UnitedStates Navy. Mr. Machtley also completed 25 yearsof service as a captain in the U.S. Naval Reserves.He was a member of the board of visitors of theUnited States Naval Academy from 1992 to 1995and currently serves on the boards of several cor-porations, as well as on the boards of many civicand charitable organizations.

President Machtley and his wife, Kati, have twochildren and reside on the Bryant campus withtheir two dogs, Sandy and Paddington. Their son,Todd, is an undergraduate at Muhlenberg College.Their daughter, Erin, graduated from Villanova Uni-versity in 1998.

Since Marty Fine took over the Bryant Univer-sity football program in 2004, there has beenconsiderable improvement in competitive suc-cess in both the playing field and in the class-room.

Taking over a program that managed onlyone winning season in the previous six seasons,Fine led the Bulldogs to back to back conferencechampionships and two NCAA playoff appear-ances in only a short time.

Now, Fine and the Bulldogs are taking thingsup a notch as they prepare for the program’ssecond season competing as a member of theDivision I Football Championship Subdivision in2009.

But if 2008 is any indication, the success willbe sure to follow. Competing for the first time inDivision I last fall, the Bulldogs posted a 7-4overall record, going 5-4 against Division foes in-cluding wins over future NEC foes Wagner,Robert Morris, Duquesne and Saint Francis (PA).Bryant will become a member of the NEC in thefall of 2012 upon completion of the transition toDivision I.

The Bulldogs will return 17 starters including10 from a defense that finished the year rankednationally in several categories including sacks,interceptions and rushing defense. Here’s abreakdown of how the Bulldogs shape up head-ing into the Fall of 2009.

OFFENSE

OFFENSIVE LINE

Anchored by three senior veterans, the Bull-dogs will be counting on a blend of youth andexperience for what looks like a stable offensiveline for 2009. The Bulldogs lose starters JacobMeyers and Alex Grande to graduation, but willwelcome back key fixtures in tackles Pete Krafta(Milford, MA) and Ben Lyons (Westfield, MA)as well as John Tashjian (Paramus, NJ) whomoves from center to guard for 2009.

Juniors Jon Lewis (Sayville, NY), Bryan Brady(Floral Park, NY) and Randall Angel (Emmaus,PA) are expected to compete for starting posi-tions and should see valuable time this seasonalong with sophomors Ray Bundy (Bristol, RI)and Tony Edwards (Damascus, NJ). Bundy wassolid in his first season at guard for the Bulldogs,seeing action in all 11 games and heads into hissecond season as the projected starter at theleft guard spot. Edwards is another expectedstarter with experience under his belt and willbe the team’s starting center heading into thenew year.

QUARTERBACK

There will be a new starting signal caller at quar-terback for the Bulldogs this season. Jay Graber,last year’s starter who threw for 1,676 yards and13 touchdowns, has graduated, and there’s astrong cast of returners looking to compete forthe starting position.

Senior Kurt Spear (Greene, NY) is the leadingcandidate to be Graber’s replacement headinginto preseason camp. Spear was the primarybackup last year and played very well in Bryant’snon-conference game at UMass.

Last year’s starting quarterback Jay Graberhas graduated after starting in all Senior NickScardelli (Manalapan, NJ) and junior MikeCroce (Waterbury, CT) will also battle for playingtime. Both are very athletic with strong armsand firm understanding of the offensive system.

RUNNING BACK / FULLBACK

A key component in the success of the Bull-dogs in ‘08 will once again be crucial this seasonas the explosive duo of Lindsey Gamble (Rox-bury, MA) and Jerell Smith (Brookly, NY) areback for the senior seasons. The Bulldogs

The pair of have been part of Bryant’s excitingone-two punch out of the backfield for the pasttwo seasons. Smith, a transfer from HowardUniversity, rushed for a team-best 1,254 yardsand six touchdowns. He went over 100 yards inseven of 11 games including a career-best 221yard, two touchdown performance in the winover Southern Connecticut. He closed out theyear with 150 yards on 21 carries in the roadwin at Saint Francis PA.

Gamble had 792 yards in 10 games and ateam-high seven touchdowns. He had a pair of100-yard games and played a key role in theteam’s win at Iona where he rushed fro 163yards on 15 carries.

The running back position will be very com-petitive and deep with junior Mike Canfora(Verona, NJ) and sophomore BJ Aponte (NewBritain, CT) and Eloma Johnson (Franklin, MA)expected to compete as well. Canfora played inall 11 games and scored three touchdownswhile Aponte and Johnson enjoyed a successfulspring.

Two starting fullbacks have graduated butlook for junior Zach Wilson (Yarmouthport,MA), a former defensive lineman, and juniorConnor Cardew (Ipswich, MA) to help pave theway for the Bulldog running backs.

WIDE RECEIVERS

The wide receiver position has thrived underthe play-calling of Fine, but in 2009, the Bulldogswill need to replace starter Ross Giffune who

catught a team-best 29 catches last season. An-thony DiNaso (Staten Island, NY) is poised for abreakout season after hauling in 24 passes for303 yards as a sophomore in 2008. A physicalreciever with good speed across the middle, Di-Naso has the ability to turn short passes into biggains. He had three touchdown receptions in ‘08including two against Monmouth and one in theteam’s win over Wagner. ready for a breakoutseason gives the team speed for the deepthreat.

Vinton South (Dumont, NJ) is another experi-enced veteran back for his final season with theBulldogs. His height (6-2) will give the Bulldogquarterbacks a good target down the sideline.

TIGHT END

The tight ends have played a big role in theteam’s third-down conversion and redzone of-fense under Fine. Senior Doug Emerzian (Row-ley, MA) is back while juniors Matt Kelley(Lincoln, RI) and Matthew Hunt (Greenbrook,NJ) gained valuable experience competing withthe junior varsity. Six-foot-five Newcomer MattTracey (Littleton, CO) is expected to provide ex-cellent pass protection as well as contribute of-fensively as another option for thequarterbacks.

Jerell Smith has rushed for 1,873 in two seasons forthe Bulldogs including 1,254 in 2008.

2009 Season Preview2009 Season PreviewDEFENSE

With 10 of 11 starters returning, Bryant’s de-fense will be the strength of this year’s club.The Bulldogs finished the year ranked in the top-20 in several defensive categories nationally,proving to be so critical to the team’s successful7-4 season in the program’s first at the Division Ilevel.

One of the biggest reasons for the success wasthe team’s ability to create turnovers that ulti-mately led to points on the offensive end. Bry-atn finished the year ranked tied for 11thnationaly with a 1.09 turnover ratio, forcing 30turnovers (tied for 12th) while giving up the balljust 18 times. The 17 pass interceptions was17th-best in the nation while the defenseagainst the run ranked 16th with just 100.82yards allowed per game.

DEFENSIVE LINE

The front four of brothers Patrick and PeterGauthier (Woonsocket, RI), Don Smith (Attle-boro, MA) and nose tackle Andrew Regan (WestNewbury, MA) are all back and raring to go.With good size and physical ability, they should

tough to run against just as they were a yearago.

Smith, who worked out for NFL scouts in thespring, has the size (6-4, 240), speed andstrength to get to the quarterback in a hurry. Asa junior in ‘08, Smith had 43 tackles and rackedup a team-best nine sacks. In all, Bryant finishedthe year ranked tied for 15th nationally with 30sacks.

Junior Cheyenne Ray (Bellport, NY) will be asolid backup at defensive end. As a sophomore,Ray had a breakout season with 17 tackles in-cluding five for a loss and one sack. He hastremendous speed and quickness for his size. Inaddition to his five quarterback hurries, he had apair of pass breakups and one interception re-turned for 29 yards.

Joshua Janes (Newport, RI), Joe Iaquinto(Dix Hills, NY), Nick Bonadies (Leonia, NJ) andCody Aughney (Henderson, NV) all look to com-pete as backups.

LINEBACKERS

Another position with excellent experience backfor the Bulldogs in ‘09 is at the linebacker spot.The Bulldogs graduate just one, Dan Curci, fromlast year. Curci was a starter before a season-ending injury sidelined him two games in. In hisplace saw the emergence sophomore FranckTebou (Mattapoisett, MA) and Jason Riffe(Newton, MA). Tebou played in all 11 gamesregistering 27 tackles to go with five tackles for aloss. Riffe finished fourth on the team with 48tackles including eight for a loss and three sacks.Senior Nick Candito (West Boylston, MA) is an-other regular who adds experience at the line-backing unit.

The key for coach Fine and the defense is thereturn of Paul Polomski (Franklin, MA) for hissenior season. A starter since his freshman year,Polomski was named co-captain by his team-mates. His versatility and nose for the ball willbe important as the driving force on the defen-sive side this season. Polomski led the teamwith 67 tackles and three sacks and picked offthree passes on the year. He enters his seniorseason with 191 total tackles in his three yearsand eight interceptions.

Sophomores Luke Steinke (Rutland, VT), MikeAbany (Mansfield, MA), senior Jackson Davis(Basalt, CO) and Dan Weaver (Bloomfield, PA)give the team excellent depth.

SECONDARY

It will be hard to replace team MVP Bryce Mar-tins at the safety position. Martins not only fin-ished second on the team as a senior last yearwith 61 tackles, but his hard-hitting ability madehis presence felt every weekend .

But the Bulldogs will be fine as seniors co-cap-tain Michael Morgan (New London, CT) returnsafter missing last year as a medical redshirt andlooks to regain his starting position at corner .Sophomore Samad Wagstaff (New Rochelle,NY) gained valuable experience in his first sea-son in ‘08 where he picked off five passes on theseason and picked up nine tackles on the year.Classmate Michael McGowan (Attleboro, MA /Bishop Feehan) also saw valuable experiencedue to injuries in his first year while the Bulldogsalso expect the return of senior AnthonyThomas (Boston, MA) to help shore up thedepth at the corner position.

Strong safety Andre Whyte (Bennington, VT),who also worked out for NFL scouts, has line-backer size but excellent speed and hopes tohave a big senior season. Last year, Whyte wasthird on the team behind Martins Polomski andMartins with 51 tackles plus added four passbreakups and two interceptions.

He’ll be backed up by the return of seniorKevin Menawonu (Providence, RI) who missedlast year due to injury but is back, strong andready to go for the new season.

Junior Addison Lynch (Braintree, MA), whoalso filled in as a regular because of injuries, sawaction in all 11 games last year and finished with45 tackls and five pass breakups. he also led theteam with three forced fumbles and two fumblerecoveries.

Sophomore Tyler Carter (Baltimore, MD) willbackup Lych while senior Anthony Castelli(Cranston, RI) should see time at strong safetyas well. Last year, Castelli had a fumble recoveryfor a touchdown in Bryant’s road win at Wagner.

The Northeast ConferenceBryant’s New Football Conference in 2012Bryant’s New Football Conference in 2012

About The NECEmbarking upon its 29th season, theNortheast Conference and its memberins�tu�ons look forward to a new era ofgrowth and opportunity in 2009-10.Driven by a new strategic plan, the NECwill strive to be recognized as an NCAADivision I leader for student-athleteachievement, integrity, compe��venessand na�onal engagement.

The NEC can trace its roots back to 1981, when the league was first estab-lished as the men’s basketball-only ECAC-Metro Conference. A single-sporten�ty at its incep�on, even the league's most ardent supporters during itsforma�ve years could not have envisioned a transforma�on into a bur-geoning 12-member, 22-sport conference. The remarkable success story ofthe conference began to unfold in 1985, when the league began sponsor-ing addi�onal sports. Three years later, a change of name was in order andthe Northeast Conference as we know it today was born. With member-ship and sport sponsorship con�nuing to grow over the next decade andbeyond, the NEC now enjoys qualifica�on or play-in access to 13 differentNCAA Championships (baseball, men's and women's basketball, fieldhockey, men's and women's golf, women's lacrosse, men's and women'ssoccer, so�ball, men's and women's tennis and women's volleyball).

Though the NEC has featured various looks since its incep�on, chartermembers Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island, Robert Morris, St. Francis (NY),Saint Francis (PA) and Wagner remain part of the current 12-school align-ment. They are joined by Monmouth (admi�ed in 1985), Mount St. Mary's(1989), Central Connec�cut State (1997), Quinnipiac (1998) and SacredHeart (1999). NEC expansion, which will culminate in 2012 with the addi-�on of Bryant University as the league’s 12th member, will give the leaguea six-state geographic footprint with access to such major media marketsas New York City, Bal�more, Pi�sburgh Har�ord and Providence.

With the addi�on of women’s bowling this fall, NEC member ins�tu�onswill now compete in 22 championship sports: baseball, men's andwomen's basketball, women’s bowling men's and women's cross country,field hockey, football, men's and women's golf, men's and women's indoortrack and field, women's lacrosse, men's and women's outdoor track andfield, men's and women's soccer, so�ball, women's swimming, men's andwomen's tennis, and women's volleyball. Men’s lacrosse will become theleague’s 23rd sport by the 2011 season.

BRYANT 37August 30, 2008

Arute Field, New Britain, CT Att: 3,218

NEW BRITAIN, CT - If there were any questions as to whether theBryant University football team was ready for Division I, Saturday's effortat Central Connecticut provided all the answers. Facing a talented BlueDevil team in the school's season opener, Bryant pushed the hosts to thelimit before coming up short, 42-35 at Arute Field.

Bryant rushed for 134 yards on the ground led by Jerell Smith's 93yards on 14 carries while Lindsey Gamble gained 81 yards to go over the1,000 yard mark for his career.

Bryant (0-1) trailed 21-13 at the half, but roared back as the Bulldog de-fense kept the Blue Devil offense in check for most of the second half. ALindsey Gamble 24-yard run down to the Central 33-yard line early in thefourth helped set up a 15-yard touchdown pass from quarterback JayGraber to Michael Canfora, trimming the lead Central lead down to two,21-19. Going for the two-point conversion, Graber hit Vinton Southacross the middle to complete the 2-point conversion and tie the game at21-21.

Another strong defensive stop forced Central into another three andout by the Blue Devil offense. But on the ensuing punt, the Blue Devilsfailed to get the punt off and the Bulldogs took over deep in the CentralConnecticut territory. Three plays later, Gamble rumbled in from a yardout and the Bulldogs took their first lead of the game.

James Mallory finally gave Central Connecticut (1-0) fans something tocheer for in the second half as he broke free down the left side line for a92-yard touchdown run to knot the game back up at 28-28.

Special teams play haunted the Bulldogs and after failing to pick up afirst down, Central managed to block another Bulldog punt and CoryRobinson fell on the ball in the end zone to push the Blue Devils back outin front 35-28.

Central Connecticut opened the game blocking a Bryant punt on theBulldogs' opening drive in the first quarter as Jordan Knight picked up theloose ball and ran it back 22 yards for the game's first score.

Bryant would answer again, however, as Canfora and Graber hooked upfor a 20-yard touchdown to tie the game at 35-35 with 4:43 left to go inthe game, but a big play by Central put the game away moments later.

On second down, junior Nick Colagiovanni saved day for the Blue Dev-ils as quarterback Aubrey Norris completed a short pass to Colagiovannibut the junior broke free through the secondary for a 70-yard touchdownto make it 42-35 with 3:25 left. The Bulldogs were unable to counter,coming short as Graber's fourth-down pass with just over a minute leftfell incomplete and the Blue Devils were able to run out the clock.

Bryant finished with 350 yards of total offense as quarterback JayGraber completed 19 of 36 passes for 216 yards and three touchdowns.Paul Polomski and Bryce Martins led the defensive effort with 10 andnine tackles respectively.

Chris Bird had a big day kicking a 37-yard field goal in the first half andadding a school-record 46-yard field goal at the end of the half to make it21-13 at the break.

SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT 36September 6, 2008

Bulldog Stadium, Smithfield, RI Att: 2,417

SMITHFIELD, R.I. (9/6/08) - Junior running back Jerell Smith rushedfor a career-high 221 yards on 34 carries to help lead Bryant Univer-sity to a 39-36 non-conference win over Southern Connecticut be-fore 2,417 at Bulldog Stadium. The win improves Bryant's record to1-1 on the season. Southern Connecticut drops to 1-1 on the sea-son.

In the first matchup between the two schools since last year'sNCAA playoffs, won by the Owls 45-28, the Bulldogs capitalized onseveral Southern Connecticut mistakes to pull out the fourth quarter,come-from-behind victory.

Southern Connecticut (1-1), ranked 20th in Division II and picked towin the Northeast-10 Conference this season, got a strong passingeffort from quarterback Steve Armstrong. The senior signal callerwas 17 for 23 passing for 282 yards and threw three touchdowns be-fore leaving the game with an injury early in the third.

Armstrong's replacement Kevin Lynch came on to throw a pair oftouchdowns, including a 75-yarder to Ty Marshall to vive the Owls a28-21 lead with 3:30 left in the third.

But in the fourth quarter, key plays by the Bryant defense and spe-cial teams and the hard running of Smith, helped Bryant rally. ASamad Wagstaff interception near midfield as the quarter came to a

close resulted in a Smith 10-yard touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff,Southern fumbled the return and Bryant's Franck Tebou was thereto recover. That play led to another Smith touchdown, making it 33-28 with 13:17 left.

Another fumble on the kickoff by the Owls gave the ball back tothe Bulldogs and this time Mike Canfora was there to bull his way infrom the 1-yard line to put Bryant on top 39-28.

Lynch and the Owls were done, as the freshman connected withPete Digangi for a 6-yard score to pull to within 39-36 with 7:53 re-maining.

Bryant was forced to punt after the drive stalled out at their own34 yard line, but on Southern's next possession, linebacker PaulPolomski picked off a Lynch pass at the 45 yard line and the Bulldogswere able to run out the clock.

Smith's 221 yards are a career-high for the Howard Universitytransfer and the seventh-most yards in a game, tying him withLorenzo Perry who had 221 at Assumption in 2008.

Quarterback Jay Graber completed 13 of 25 passes for 164 yardsand two touchdowns while Vinton South caught three passes for 64yards.

Ty Marshall had seven catches for 203 yards and two scores forSouthern Connecticut . Jarom Freeman, who rushed for an NCAADivision II record 418 yards against the Bulldogs last year, was held incheck by the Bulldog defense. The junior finished with 70 yards on16 carries in the game.

WAGNER 14September 27, 2008

Wagner Stadium, Staten Island, N.Y. Att: 1,467

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (9/27/08) - Bryant tailback Jerell Smith (Brooklyn,NY) rushed for 143 yards on 31 carries and the Bulldog defense turnedin one of its finest games of the season as the Bulldogs knocked off Wag-ner College 24-14 Saturday.




The win is Bryant's first over a Division I opponent in six tries and thefirst this season over a member of the Football Championship Subdi-vision (Bryant defeated DII Merrimack and Southern Connecticutearlier this year). Jay Graber completed 8 of 17 passes including a clutch 20 yard

while Lindsey Gamble added 44 yards rushing in the victory. But the story of the day was the play of the Bulldog defense that

held Wagner to just 219 yards of offense - including 100 yardsthrough three quarters - before 1,467 on a wet and dreary day atWagner College Stadium. Bryant overcame a pair of fumbles on punt returns in the game, but

made the plays when they had to. It didn't hurt much in that Wag-ner's offense struggled against the Bryant defense all afternoon.Wagner did strike first as quarterback Adam Farnsworth hit tight endPeter Zagorski with a short pass but the senior was able to break afew tackles and rumbled down the home side line for an 80-yardscore. But the play was the only highlight on the day for the Sea-hawks who were penalized seven times in the game - including sev-eral unnecessary roughness penalties. But the Bulldog defense, coming into the game shorthanded withseveral starters out of the game, stormed right back to take com-mand of the game. An Andre Whyte block of a Kyle Muir punt attempt was recovered byAnthony Castelli who returned it 4 yards to tie the game at 7-7. Later in the first, free safety Bryce Martins helped set up the go-ahead score intercepting Adam Farnsworth inside the Wagner 20yard line and returning it to the 15. One play later, Lindsey Gamblescored from four yards out to make it 14-7. The wet conditionscaused more special teams trouble for Wagner as Muir couldn't han-dle another snap on a punt attempt and the Bulldogs took over nearmidfield. Bryant was able to drive down to the Wagner 3 yard line, aided by abeautiful pass from Graber to tight end Jarrett Solimando across themiddle. But the Bulldogs couldn't get into the end zone but didcome away with three points on a Chris Bird 20 yard field goal tomake it 17-7. The Bulldogs opened the second half with an efficient8 play, 46 yard drive capped by a Graber 7 yard touchdown pass toStaten Island, N.Y. native Anthony DiNaso to make it 24-7. Another defensive surge helped put the game away in the waning

minutes. With the Seahawks driving late in the fourth, a SamadWagstaff blitz from the blind side forced an errant pass by backupquarterback Matt Abbey as John Suarez picked off Abbey and re-turned the ball deep into Wagner territory. Martins led the way with six tackles while Paul Polomski (Franklin,MA) had five tackles. Defensive end Don Smith (Attleboro, MA) had ahuge day, finishing with five tackles plus two big sacks.

But in the fourth, Lindsey Gamble put the Bulldogs back in front forgood, scoring on a 29-yard run down the middle to make it 15-10. Ontheir next possession, the Dukes moved the ball down to the Bryant 40,but junior defensive end Don Smith (Attleboro, MA) blitzed Dixon forcingthe sophomore to throw an ill-advised pass that was picked off by line-backer Paul Polomski (Franklin, MA).

The Bulldogs came into the game tied for first nationally with a 25turnovers gained this season. The Duquesne miscue led to a Brian Don-nelly (East Dennis, MA) 25-yard field goal to give Bryant an 18-10 leadwith just over five minutes left.

Needing to go the length of the field to score and possibly force over-time, Duquesne would never get the opportunity as Bryant linebackerCheyenne Ray (Bellport, NY) picked off Dixon's very first pass attempt atthe 29 yard line and returned it the distance for the touchdown, sealingthe victory for the Bulldogs.

Bryant finished with 445 yards of total offense in the game. The Bull-dogs were 7 for 15 on third-down conversions. Gamble finished with 94yards rushing while Graber completed 18 of 26 passes for 213 yards.Williams finished with 76 yards rushing for Duquesne while Dixon was16 for 28 passing for 193 yards.

November 15, 2008Mazzella Field,New Rochelle, NY. Att: 483

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (11/15/08) - Lindsey Gamble (Roxbury, MA)rushed for a season-high 163 yards on 15 carries to lead the BryantUniversity football team to a 23-7 win over Iona College Saturday at awet and rainy Mazzella Field. The win clinches a winning record forthe Bulldogs in their first season of Division I football as Bryant willtake a 6-4 record into next Saturday's season finale at Saint Francis(PA).

Coming off a bye week, the Bulldogs were slow out of the gate andIona (3-8) took advantage, scoring the only points of the first half latein the first quarter. Gael freshman quarterback Warren Smith engi-neered an 11-play drive ending with a 33-yard touchdown pass tothe speedy Tim Mastrino for a 7-0 lead.

Held scoreless for only the second time this season, Bryant managedjust 55 yards rushing in the first half against an Iona defense thatcame into the game allowing 300 yards rushing.

But it was a different story in the second half as quarterback JayGraber (Clarksburg, NJ) led Bryant on a 10-play scoring drive to openthe third quarter. The senior connected with senior tight end JarrettSolimando (Demarest, NJ) on an 18-yard pass play down to the oneyard line. One play later, junior tailback Jerrell Smith (Brooklyn, NY)dove into the end-zone to finally put Bryant on the scoreboard. Ionawould maintain the lead however, as the point after attempt waswide, keeping Gaels in front 7-6.

But the scoring drive was just what the team needed. Chris Bird's(Monument Beach, MA) 30-yard field goal atoned for the missedextra point try and the Bulldogs had their first lead of the game, 9-7with 4:24 left in the third.

Still within striking distance, the Gaels continued to move the ballwell led by the arm of Warren Smith and the play of Mastrino. Butthe key play of the game came early in the fourth with the Gaels driv-ing deep into Bryant territory. With the ball on the Bryant 25, andIona facing a fourth-and-three, Attleboro's Don Smith pressuredWarren Smith to scramble out of the pocket and throw an incom-plete pass with Andre Whyte (Bennington, Vt.) covering.

Taking over on downs, Gamble broke through the line on Bryant'svery first play from scrimmage and raced 75 yards for a touchdownto make it 16-7. With the momentum clearly back in Bryant's favor,Jerrell Smith would later add a 50-yard touchdown run of his ownand the Bulldogs never looked back.

With his 163 yards on the day, Gamble moved into fourth all-time inschool history with 1,704 rushing yards. Jerrell Smith, who surpassedthe 1,000-yard mark for the season on Bryant's first play of game, fin-ished with 105 yards on the ground, moving him into third-place all-time in school history with 1,723 yards.

Anthony DiNaso (Staten Island, NY) had four catches for 64 yardswhile Bryce Martins (Uncasville, CT) led the defense with 11 tackles.Patrick Gauthier (Woonsocket, RI) and Smith each had seven.

Iona's quarterback Smith completed 31 of 53 passes for 272 yards.Mastrino finished an amazing day for the Gaels, catching a schoolrecord 18 passes for 167 yards.
