THE GAME
The Huskies have turned in double-digit wins and NCAA Playoff appearances in each of the past two years and both in 2012 and 2013 those seasons began with wins vs. Stonehill in Week 1. The new rivals renew their series this Saturday, beginning the season against each other for the third consecutive year. Bloomsburg returns 13 starters from its 2013 PSAC Championship squad which dominated Stonehill for a 41-13 Week 1 victory at Redman Stadium on Sept. 7, 2013. After that game, Stonehill went 8-2 the rest of the way with both losses coming against Northeast-10 foe American International. Stonehill reached the Northeast-10 Championship Game, but watched its NCAA Playoff bid fall short in a 27-17 defeat at American International. While the Huskies are ranked third in the PSAC East Preseason Coaches’ Poll, Stonehill likewise placed third in the Northeast-10 preseason rankings.
SERIES HISTORY
The two squads have met just twice, opening the all-time series in 2012. Bloomsburg captured the first-ever meeting between schools with a 44-28 victory in Easton, Mass., to open the 2012 season. BU won, 41-13 last year. In 2012, the Huskies fell behind early when the Skyhawks returned the opening kickoff for a 7-0 lead. Bloomsburg scored the next 31 points, however, before Stonehill roared back to cut the margin to 38-28 with 10:38 to play. A five-minute drive from the Huskies resulted in a field goal to effectively put the game away. Dai’Shon Munger had a career-high 135 yards rushing vs. Stonehill last year.
