Nothing but bad news for UNH
It was a forgettable weekend for the University of New Hampshire football program.
One day after backup quarterback Hank Hendricks headed to California to face a murder charge, UNH dropped a 41-24 decision to James Madision Saturday in its season opener. UNH quarterback Ricky Santos completed 36 of 47 pass attempts for 353 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. The Wildcats also received a strong performance from former Plymouth High School standout Mike Boyle, who caught six passes for 97 yards.
Hendricks was indicted Thursday in the beating death of a professional surfer in La Jolla, Calif., and is scheduled to appear in court Monday. He has been suspended from the UNH team.
In other college games involving New Hampshire teams Saturday, Plymouth State opened its season with a 41-10 victory over Mount Ida; and St. Anselm suffered a 58-3 setback against Edinboro.
