UMaine Preview
Terriers Have History On Their Side Against UMaine

BOSTON—The Terriers may be a new team, but they will have history on their side when they face UMaine this Sunday—a history that says the Black Bears haven’t faired well in Beantown.
Perhaps it’s the big, bad city that pacifies the Bears, or maybe just the long bus ride, but something happens to the Black Bears in Boston—they can’t handle the “Dirty Water.”
Boston suffered ugly losses the last two times the Terriers met the Black Bears in 1996 and 1997. UMaine pummeled Boston 45-8 in 1996 and 62-29 in 1997, but both of these games were held in Black Bear country.
The Black Bears don’t look so hot in Titletown—the last time the Black Bears beat the Terriers in the City of Champions…1972.
The Boston Terriers Football Club is 1-0 after winning both its first scrimmage and its first game. They will have their first home game this Sunday against UMaine, and if history really does repeat itself, the Terriers are in a very good position.
Boston has a 23-7 all-time record against UMaine, including shutouts in 1980, 1991, and 1993. UMaine could pull the experience card on Boston this weekend, but the Terriers have winning experience in their blood.
With UMaine 2-0 and Boston 1-0, both teams will be looking to keep zeros in the L. Only one can leave with the W, and the numbers love Boston.

Terriers Win First Game vs. Warriors

MANSFIELD CENTER, Conn.—The Boston University faithful can don their “undefeated since 1997” football shirts for another week. The Boston Terriers nearly shutout the Northeastern Connecticut Warriors Saturday in an 18-8 victory, giving the Terriers their first win of the season.
The Terriers held off the Warriors, keeping them scoreless until the last minutes of the fourth quarter.
The Terriers had a good first possession despite losing wide receiver John Themeli to a shoulder injury early in the first quarter. The Warriors, who are made up of students from Eastern Connecticut State University, kept the Terriers from scoring during their first possession, but Terrier defense answered back to keep the score 0-0.
After the Terriers gained some yardage thanks to running back Tait Forman, Marcus Gray scored the first touchdown on a throw from quarterback Joe Tiano to make the score 6-0 Terriers.
A hiccup in the second quarter didn’t set the Terriers back. The Warriors intercepted Tiano’s throw intended for Gray, but Wardell Lee and Robbie Harrison sacked the Warriors’ quarterback, and the Terriers kept the score 6-0 at the half.
The Terriers capitalized on interceptions and fumbles in the second half and scored twice. Gray made the Warriors pay for their previous interception with a pick of his own. Then, Conor Bailey scored a touchdown off an interception to make the score 12-0. Lee recovered a fumble, and Alex Lopez scored a pick six.
The Terriers held the game at 18-0 until the Warriors finally scored late in the fourth quarter to make the final score 18-8.
The Terriers’ next game will be at home against the UMaine Black Bears. It will be the Terriers’ first home game and is scheduled for 1 p.m. at MIT’s Steinbrenner Stadium.
