Senior defensive tackle Zackary Robak led the Statesmen with seven tackles, including one of the team’s three sacks. Senior linebacker Almamy Conde added four stops, including a sack, and added a fumble recovery and an interception. Sophomore linebacker Jedh Downey chipped in five tackles and an interception.
