ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Chris Zellous rushed for three touchdowns and threw another, powering Stony Brook to its first Coastal Athletic Conference win of the season in a 37-6 rout over Albany on Saturday afternoon.
Albany took the lead early with a 34-yard field goal from James Bozek, who made two in the half. A Roland Dempster touchdown run and a Michael Mannino field goal gave Stony Brook a 10-6 lead at the half.
The second half was a runaway offensive performance from the Stony Brook (3-3, 1-1) offense.
Zellous opened the half with a 38-yard rushing score, then punched in a 1-yard effort after Colin Parachek (5 of 18, 82 yards) was intercepted by Bryson Parker.
Zellous connected with Dez Williams for a 13-yard touchdown, then ran for another at 13:13 in the fourth quarter to make it 37-6. He finished 20 of 30 for 241 yards and was pulled early with the massive lead. Dempster finished with 105 yards on the ground.
Albany (1-5, 0-2) was held to 198 yards of total offense.
