New Paltz's game last Friday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Friday. Everything went their way against the Liberty Indians as the New Paltz Huguenots made off with a 33-8 victory. The Huguenots' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.
A big part of New Paltz's win came down to the chemistry between Nick Drewnowski and his top target Nicolas Horowitz. Drewnowski rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries while Horowitz rushed for 166 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. Drewnowski also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making a tackle (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, New Paltz was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 374 rushing yards. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 97.3 rushing yards per game earlier this season, but in their last three games they've averaged 215.
