Papallo’s hot run
continues at SCSU
NEW HAVEN — While opposing football teams have been able to handle Southern Connecticut State this season — the Owls stand at 1-6 — they haven’t been able to cover wide receiver Tylon Papallo.
The grad student from Meriden continued his recent tear with two touchdown receptions in Saturday’s 27-21 Homecoming loss to AIC. One TD was from 56 yards, the other from 51.
Papallo had five total catches on the day for 128 yards.
Over the past three games, Papallo has caught 17 passes for 352 yards and four TDs, including the game-winner in Southern’s lone victory, 6-3 over St. Anselm on Sept. 30.
Heading into this Saturday’s game at Pace, Papallo has 41 receptions on the season for 654 yards and five touchdowns.
Cortez strikes twice in AMC upset
NEW HAVEN — The Albertus Magnus College men’s soccer team defeated Saint Joseph’s College of Maine for the first time since 2015 with a 2-0 victory on Saturday.
Meriden’s Kelvin Cortez had both goals in the victory. That gives the Wilcox Tech grad 10 goals on the season, which leads not only Albertus Magnus, but the entire Great Northeast Athletic Conference.
Albertus stands at 9-2-3 overall and 7-2-2 in the GNAC heading into Tuesday night’s road game in Newport, R.I. against Johnson & Wales.
