Montclair, NJ - The Red Hawks look to rebound from its season-opening loss as it heads up to Rhode Island to Face Salve Regina on Saturday.

Montclair State fell last week at Southern Virginia, 34-21. MSU turned the ball over four times and gave the Knights several short scoring drives. Quarterback JA'QUILL BURCH threw for a career-high 363 yards and three touchdowns, but was picked off three times. Wide Receiver KASON CAMPBELL hauled in seven of those pases for 139 yards while CRAIG MERKLE rushed for 75 yards as Montclair put up 469 yards of total offense in the game. ZACK ZACCONE registered 10 tackles and two pass breakups for the defense with ADENS GEORGES collecting eight tackles.

The Seahawks also lost their opener as Norwich escaped Toppa Field with a 22-19 victory. Jacob Burke blocked a potential game-tying 28-yard field goal attempt by kicker Angelo DiSanto with seven seconds remaining as the Cadets held on for the three-point victory. Joey Mauriello netted 140 yards on the ground while Ronnie Martin finished with 84 yards rushing. Tyler McGovern completed 18 of 42 passes for 180 yards with three interceptions.

This will the seventh meeting between MSU and SRU with the Red Hawks leading 4-2. The teams traded the first two contests before MSU captured the next two  games by identical one-point margins. After a two-year hiatus, the series resumed with Salve Regina posting a 26-20 victory in Newport, RI.
