🏈Football: Most Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) schools pushed their seasons to the spring due to COVID-19, so there’s more football for us with their championships now underway.
- Highlights from Saturday’s first-round action include James Madison University (JMU) running back Jawon Hamilton’s record-setting 99-yard touchdown. Talk about not throwing away your shot.
- Eight teams advanced to the quarterfinals, which begin this Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. Hamilton’s No. 3 JMU squad faces North Dakota at 6 p.m. ET, while top-seeded South Dakota State takes on Southern Illinois at 9 p.m. ET. We missed you, Sunday football.
🥎Softball: There was some herstory on the diamond this weekend. On Friday, Division II Saint Anselm senior pitcher Morgan Perry tossed a no-hitter in a 3–0 win over St. Michael’s College. The next day? Perry tossed a perfect game (!!!), striking out 10 batters en route to the first perfect game in program history and her record-breaking 79th career win. What, like it’s hard?
