Boyle rushed for 143 yards on 22 attempts to become the 12th player in program history to reach 2,000 career yards. He had touchdown runs of 23 and 22 yards to go with a pass reception of 58 yards. Boyle, who has also been kicking for the Hounds this fall, was 4-for-4 on extra-points, and he scored a pair of two-point conversions, one receiving and one rushing. Boyle has 2,012 yards on 489 carries in 25 career games, and he has 17 rushing and one receiving touchdown in his career to go along with 10 PATs and four two-point conversions for a total of 126 points in his career to rank tenth in school history.
"Nate continues to work to improve each week. The best part about his game this past week was what he did with the ball not in his hands," stated Head Coach Jeff Long. "He continues to be a physical blocker and finishes every play he's a part of!"
The Greyhounds, who are 4-3 overall and 3-0 in Landmark Conference action, are scheduled to return to the gridiron on Saturday, October 28 when the squad hosts No. 11 Susquehanna University on Family Day with kickoff set for 1:00 p.m. at Rocco Calvo Field.
