WALTHAM, Mass. – The Bentley football team heads to New York where it aims to hand Pace its first conference loss of the season Saturday, Oct. 31. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m.
 
A boot to remember
Peter Vafiadis drilled a 33-yard field goal as time expired in regulation to beat Southern Conn., 32-29, last week in Waltham (Oct. 24.). Bentley's game-winning drive started on its own 20-yard line with 45 seconds on the clock. Luke Warnock completed three passes during the drive – none bigger than a 30-yard toss to Nate Day in double coverage. Day came down with the ball on the SCSU 16-yard line with just over one second on the clock, giving way to Vafiadis' game-winning kick.
 
Have a Day
Nate Day had a career-high six catches for 63 yards against Southern Conn., including his clutch late-game catch.
 
Has a nice ring to it
For the second consecutive week, Parker Woodring set his new season high for receptions and receiving yards. Last week against Southern Conn., Woodring hauled in nine catches for 93 yards and a touchdown (Oct. 24). The week prior against Saint Anselm, Woodring totaled 83 yards on seven catches – including three touchdowns.
 
Pick your poison
Cooper Marum leads the NE10 in touchdown catches with nine, and Parker Woodring is tied for second with seven. Marcum is third in the conference for receptions (34), Peter Bibby III is fifth (28), and Woodring is seventh (24). Marcum ranks fifth in the NE10 for receiving yards with 433.
 
Warnock's ways
Luke Warnock leads the NE10 in passing yards (1,492) and passing touchdowns (18). On the national level, he is tied for 17^th for passing touchdowns. He has multiple touchdown passes in six consecutive games.
 
What's the rush?
Bentley continues to lead the NE10 in rushing yards by averaging 170.7 yards per game. Three Falcons rank top 10 the conference for total rushing yards: Mason Andrade (404, 5^th); Telly Edouard (374, 6^th); Isaiah Osgood (320, 9^th).
