Northeastern turned the ball over four times and Maine rushed for 246 yards on the day, as the Black Bears defeated the Huskies 20-0 Saturday afternoon at Morse Field at Harold Alfond Stadium.

The loss drops the Huskies to 2-6 on the season, 1-3 in CAA Football. Maine improves to 5-3, 3-2 in CAA Football.

Northeastern was led by Chris Plum, who had 83 yards receiving. Anthony Orio was 7-for-20 on the day with 93 yards, but three interceptions. In relief, John Sperrazza was 10-for-19 for 91 yards and an interception.

Meanwhile, Maine wore the Huskies down with a balanced running attack. Five Black Bears had at least four carries, led by quarterback Michael Brusko, who had 13 carries for 93 yards. Brusko also was 10-for-13 for 136 yards passing.

Northeastern fell behind in the first quarter when Orio threw an interception to Mark Masterson, who took the ball back 79 yards for a touchdown at the 3:15 mark. The Huskies had gotten to the Maine 25 before the turnover.

Maine added a touchdown in the second quarter as Brusko evaded a tackler and found Landis Williams in the end zone for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 7:56 remaining in the half.

Maine had two more scoring opportunities in the first half, but Brian Harvey’s two field goal attempts were wide.

In the third quarter, Brusko connected with Landis Williams on a 39-yard touchdown pass at 6:42. Jordan Waxman missed the extra point, but Maine had a 20-0 lead.

Northeastern only got into Maine territory once in the second half. A 14-play, 75 yard drive ended at the Maine 16 after the Huskies couldn’t convert on 4th-and-10.

Defensively, Cornelius Bunch had a career-high 18 tackles. He was joined in double figures by Phil Higgins who had 11.

Northeastern will host Villanova next Saturday at Parsons Field at 1 p.m.
