WALTHAM, Mass. – Two touchdown catches by junior Shane Hubbard (St. Albans, N.Y.) in the final 18:08, including a 92-yarder, propelled LIU Post to a 34-20 win over Bentley University in college football action at Bentley Saturday afternoon.

LIU Post, which avenged a 30-28 loss to Bentley a week earlier, finished at 7-4 overall while the Falcons closed at 5-6 for the second straight season.

Hubbard broke a 20-all tie with an eight-yard TD reception with 3:08 left in the third and made it a two-score game when he shook a defender after a short catch and went nearly the length of the field 1:10 into the fourth. A play before he reached the end zone on the first score, Hubbard kept the drive going with a 17-yard catch on a 4th-and-9.

The 14 unanswered points to end the game came after the Falcons had rallied from a 20-10 halftime deficit to even the score with 8:19 left in the third.

Bentley scored on its first two possessions of the third after forcing a pair of three-and-outs. A 33-yard pass from junior C.J. Scarpa (Andover/Andover HS) to classmate Sean Myers (Foxborough/ Roxbury Latin HS) finished a seven-play, 73-yard drive and brought the Falcons within three with 11:17 left in the third.

On the next Bentley possession, a drive that featured a 42-yard completion to the Pioneer 5 from Scarpa to tight end Alex Farkes (Boston/BB&N School), senior Michael Baron (Medfield/Roxbury Latin School) converted his second field goal of the afternoon, this one a 20-yarder.

The opening quarter ended with the visitors on top 14-7, on the strength of two TD runs by junior David White (Bronx, N.Y.). His first was of nine yards, finishing a nine-play, 73-yard drive, and his second covered 14, completing a six-play, 72-yard drive. White had a big opening quarter with 78 yards on only four carries.

In between, Scarpa teamed up with Farkes on an eight-yard scoring pass, finishing a four-play drive set up by a fumble recovery by senior d-back Josh Charles (Hyde Park/Catholic Memorial HS). The fumble was forced by fifth-year senior Bob Richman (North Attleboro/North Attleboro HS), who was playing his first game since week two.

Another fumble recovery, this one by senior defensive end Quincy Giles (Indianapolis, Ind./ Cathedral HS), set up Bentley's next score, a 26-yard field goal by Baron. That made it a 14-10 game with 9:49 left.

A mishandled punt by Bentley junior Tyler Ford (Amherst, N.H./Souhegan HS) gave the Pioneers the ball on the Bentley 7 and it took only two running plays for LIU Post to extend the lead to 10, 20-10, with 3:47 left before intermission.

Despite the miscue, it was a record-setting afternoon for Ford, who averaged 50.3 yards on seven kicks. It was the third time this year that he broke the single game punting record and it gave him a school-record 43.0 average for the season.

Scarpa completed 23 of 39 yards for 214 yards, including six of 86 to Farkes. Jeff Kidd (Salem, Ore.), who finished his junior year at LIU Post with 29 TD passes, was 20 of 35 for 284 yards. White led all rushers with 20 carries for 124 yards.

Senior linebacker Matt McDermott (Merrimac/Central Catholic HS) and junior LB Bryan Hardy (Barnstable/Barnstable HS) each had ten tackles for Bentley while Nate Feliz (Bronx, N.Y.), also a junior linebacker, had 16 to power the Pioneers.

LIU Post outgained the Falcons 484-326 and finished with a 22-18 first-down advantage. Just two third down conversions in 14 attempts hurt Bentley.
