On November 2, 2019, junior QB Stephen Sturm threw for 346 yards and three TDs, including two to senior receiver Drew Mahoney, as the Bentley Falcons celebrated Homecoming with a wild 41-35 victory over Saint Anselm.

Sturm eclipsed 5,000 yards in total offense, becoming the fifth player in program history to do so, while Mahoney surpassed both 200 receptions and 2,000 receiving yards for his career, becoming the fourth Falcon to reach both marks. The Division II national leader in receptions per game finished with 11 catches for 131 yards, with his touchdowns covering 69 and 10 yards.

It was all Bentley over the first 18-plus minutes as coach Bill Kavanaugh's squad jumped out to a 27-7 lead. The scoring began with a pair of field goals, 33 and 21 yards, by senior Grant Buchanan with a fumble recovery by sophomore defensive lineman Cedric Dashiell II at the Hawk six sandwiched in between. Buchanan became the seventh player in program history, and second kicker, to surpass 200 career points and finished the game with 209.

Mahoney's one-handed catch and run for a 69-yard TD with 4:39 to play in the first made it 13-0 Falcons.

In the second, Bentley scored 14 points in 19 seconds to push a 13-7 lead to 27-7. Mahoney caught a 10-yard scoring pass on a third-and-eight, capping an 11-play, 74-yard drive. On the Hawks' first play after the kickoff, a 20-yard pick-six from Falcon junior linebacker Marc Doran extended the Bentley lead to 20.

Following two Saint Anselm touchdowns, Sturm threw his third TD of the game. This one was an 84-yarder to junior Austin Ryan and it resulted in Bentley taking a 34-21 lead into intermission.

Bentley restored its lead to 20 with 3:42 remaining in the third when freshman Nathaniel Larkins scored his first career touchdown on a 33 yard run.

Saint Anselm got back into the game with two touchdowns in the first 7:05 of the fourth stanza. The Bentley offense ate up most of the remaining time and the defense forced a three-and-out in between the two Falcon possessions.

Sturm finished 24 of 33, distributing the ball to seven different players, and was picked off three times. Ryan (3 for 118) also surpassed 100 receiving yards while the ground game included 72 yards on 18 carries from senior Jordan Artope and 71 on eight from Larkins.

Bentley gained a season-high 509 yards, limited the visitors to 270 and controlled the ball for 36:57. Kavanaugh's team had nearly twice as many first downs, 25-13, and a total of four sacks including three from sophomore LB Manny Resto.
