BIDDEFORD, Maine – The University of New England football team ran for 485 yards on its way to a dominant 42-7 senior day drubbing of Curry College in Saturday's rainy Conference of New England battle at Blue Storm Stadium. The victory was UNE's fourth straight, and the Nor'easters' last two games have combined for 965 rushing yards.
Saturday's win also avenged Curry's 47-30 victory over the Nor'easters in Milton, Massachusetts, which represented one of just two UNE losses during the 2025 season.
Three UNE (4-5, 4-2) rushers eclipsed the century mark, led by
Nathan Delgado's 176 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown run.
Damien Jones ran for 138 and three touchdowns, while
Javin Willis rounded out that trio with 115 yards and a score. Chris Lang and
Gavin Martin combined for 106 yards through the air on just 11 attempts. Much of that production came on one play – Lang's 58-yard touchdown pass to
Dante Howard on the Nor'easters' opening drive.
The strike to Howard was the end of a 97-yard touchdown drive, which came after UNE's tone-setting defensive stand with the Colonels (4-5, 3-3) having marched down the field on the game's first drive. After coming up empty on that chance inside UNE's 5-yard line, Curry did not get on the board until the third quarter.
The Nor'easters' offensive clinic saw touchdowns on four of their first five possessions. UNE only punted once in the game, and that was a 70-yard boot from quarterback
Gavin Martin. The do-it-all sophomore also threw for 48 yards and ran for 49.
The UNE defense had little trouble getting off the field, holding Curry to just 9-of-21 on third down and 0-for-3 on fourth. The Nor'easters also came up with a pair of sacks and an interception from
Jayce Jeanpierre.
With one regular-season contest remaining, UNE is averaging nearly 40 points per game. UNE's trip to New England College next Saturday is the second annual Battle for Route 202, which the Nor'easters won by a score of 59-3 in the 2025 season finale.
Prior to Saturday's win over Curry, UNE honored its 27-member senior class.
