Souza thinks safety first
The University of New Hampshire will be looking for a strong effort from its defense when it plays at 10th-ranked Hofstra on Saturday.
One player who has been impressive on that side of the ball is strong safety Hugo Souza, a redshirt freshman who began his collegiate career as a cornerback. Souza is third among UNH players in tackles this season (43), trailing free safety Jeff Pammer and linebacker Husain Karim.
UNH, which is 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the Colonial Athletic Association, may have to play without starting quarterback Ricky Santos, who is still nursing a shoulder injury. Hofstra is 6-0 overall and 3-0 in league play.
