BIDDEFORD, Maine – The University of New England football team defeated Becker, 24-20, in its regular season finale at UNE Blue Storm Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Nor'easters finish their second season of varsity play with an overall record of 4-6 and 2-5 in Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) action. Becker ends at 2-8 and 0-7 in league play.
 
After a long Becker drive to begin the day ended in a punt, the Nor'easters answered with a 33-yard field goal by Kevin Heintz that hit the crossbar and went in to give UNE at 3-0 lead. The score was setup by long catch and runs of 10 and 30-yards by Jack Mahoney and a 17-yard rush by Douglas Harrison.
 
The Nor'easters stopped the Hawks on the fourth down on its next possession, but a fumble by Brian Peters setup Becker near midfield. David Collins made UNE pay for the turnover with a six-yard touchdown run. Randy Morgan ran in on a two-point conversion to put the visitors in front 8-3 with 11:56 remaining in the first half.
 
Tyler Daye got his hand on a Becker punt later in the quarter as UNE took over on its own 46-yard line. Peters tossed a pass to Mikey Brennan at the back corner of the end zone. The first-year wide receiver was able to keep in feet inbounds to haul in the 23-yard score [Watch]. After an extra-point by Heintz, the Nor'easters took at 10-8 lead into halftime.
 
UNE went three-and-out to begin the second half, but Heintz was able to pin the Hawks deep with a 61-yard punt that was downed on the Becker three. The offense could not get anything going and the Nor'easters took over on the Haws 37-yard line to start their next drive. Brennan caught an 8-yard touchdown to extend the Nor'easters advantage to 17-8 midway through the third.
 
Becker was unable to trim the deficit despite two drives deep into UNE territory as the Hawks failed on fourth down from the Nor'easters 23 and 19 yard lines.
 
Mac Kimball completed a 16-yard screen pass for a score to Collins with 6:24 to play, but the ensuing two-point attempt failed as the score remained 17-14 in favor of UNE.
 
After stalled drives by each team, the Nor'easters eventually took over with 1:44 remaining looking to run out the clock. Two plays in, Mahoney broke a 28-yard score to seal the UNE victory. Becker would not go down without a fight as Alpha Barry completed a 28-yard TD to Timothy Williamson as time expired.
