WALTHAM -- Pick your poison.
Want to try to make big gains on the strong side of the field against Bentley University's defense? Go ahead and try, but know you'll have to outsmart cornerback Pete Thorbahn to do that.

Thorbahn, from Norwell and Xaverian Brothers High School, and Milton High product Perkins emerged as a dynamic defensive duo on Bentley's corners last season, when Perkins returned to duty from a shoulder injury that shortened his promising sophomore year.
