Olson accounts for 2 scores to help Central Connecticut to homecoming win over Wagner 24-14
NEW BRITAIN, Conn. -- — Brady Olson ran for one touchdown and threw for another to lead Central Connecticut to a 24-14 win over Wagner on Saturday.
The defense for the Blue Devils (4-5, 3-1 Northeast Conference) played a huge role in the homecoming win with six sacks and giving up just 24 yards on the ground. They limited the Seahawks (4-6, 2-2) to 181 yards passing but 81 of that came on their first play of the game when Jake Cady connected with Rickey Spruill.
Olson tied the game with a 10-yard run late in the first quarter and then iced the game with a 17-yard pass to Joe Crifasi with 5:23 to play. The clinching 10-play drive covered 75 yards and took almost seven minutes.
Olson was 16-of-27 passing for 182 yards. Elijah Howard had an 8-yard touchdown run in the last minute of the second quarter for a 17-7 halftime lead and finished with 75 yards. Dan Toatley led the defense with 3.5 sacks.
Spruill also had a 13-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to bring the Seahawks within 17-14.
