UNH 28, Albany 23

ALBANY, N.Y. —  Junior running back Dylan Laube (Westhampton, N.Y.) rushed for 202 yards and three touchdowns to propel the University of New Hampshire football team to Saturday night’s 28-23 victory against UAlbany at Tom & Mary Casey Stadium.

Laube established those career highs in rushing yards and touchdowns on another career high of 32 carries. He also eclipsed 1,000 career rushing yards with 1,084.

“Obviously (Lauble) can make an impact running the football, and he can catch the ball out of the backfield too,” UNH coach Rick Santos said. “
Sophomore quarterback Max Brosmer (Roswell, Ga.) was an efficient 11 of 14 for 73 yards and a touchdown. Redshirt freshman Joey Corcoran (Montreal, Quebec) was the top target with five catches for 34 yards, including his first career TD.

Sophomores Josiah Silver (Hampton, Va.) and Ryan Toscano (Bedford, N.H.) tied for the team lead with five tackles. Toscano and redshirt freshman Brendan Tighe (Lowell, Mass.) both forced a fumble and sophomore Aaron Oroh (Dover, N.H.) recovered a fumble, while Silver recorded one of five UNH sacks.

UAlbany quarterback Reese Poffenberger completed 18 of 27 passes for 264 yards and two TDs; he also ran the ball 12 times for 40 yards. Todd Sibley had 13 rushes for 105 yards and one score.

“Obviously if you’re gonna be a championship-caliber team, which we hope to be, you have to win these tough road games,” Santos said. “In the CAA there’s so much parity it’s a battle every single week. There’s no easy wins in our conference. We’ll take it any way we can get it.”
