UMass delivers knockout blow

Any chance the University of New Hampshire had of reaching the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs likely disappeared following a 27-7 loss to the University of Massachusetts on Saturday.

The loss dropped UNH's record to 6-4 overall and 3-4 in the Colonial Athletic Association. UNH will wrap up its regular season with a home game against Maine on Saturday.

Elsewhere Saturday, wide receiver Bobby Sewall caught 18 passes for 141 yards and threw a TD pass to lead Brown to a 56-35 triumph over Dartmouth; and St. Anselm completed its season 0-10 overall and 0-9 in the Northeast-10 following a 54-14 loss to Southern Connecticut.

UMass 27, UNH 7
