WALTHAM, Mass. - With 1.3 seconds left to play, Joey Bradley (Issaquah, Wash./Issaquah / University of North Dakota) found Ty Headen (Newark, N.J./American History) in the front of the endzone on fourth down from 19-yards out to lead the University of New Haven to a come-from-behind 38-35 victory at Bentley Saturday afternoon. The play capped an impressive 82-yard, 54-second drive which the Chargers managed with no timeouts on 10 plays.

New Haven improves to 1-3 overall and 1-2 in the Northeast-10 Conference with the win. The victory was also the first for first-year head coach Chris Pincince who took the helm prior to the spring. Bentley drops to 1-3 overall and 0-3 in conference play.

Bradley and running backs Trevor Officer (Monroe, N.Y./Monroe-Woodbury) and Andre Anderson (New Haven, Conn./James Hillhouse) paced the UNH offense. Bradley went 30-of-46 with 315 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Officer led the team with 64 rushing yards on 11 carries, while Anderson added 53 and two touchdowns on 14 touches. Headen was Bradley's top target with eight catches for 83 yards and the game-winning score. Anderson added six catches for 27 yards out the of the backfield and Henry Adegunle (Rockaway, N.Y./Channel View) chipped in with five catches for 76 yards and a score. DeeJay White (Brooklyn, N.Y./Sheepshead Bay / Bowling Green State University) was the final UNH player with a score, a 39-yard touchdown catch in the opening quarter.

Defensively, Tyler Condit (Caldwell, N.J./James Caldwell) led the team again this week. He totaled 11 tackles, two tackles-for-loss and a sack. Matt Zakrzewski (Traverse City, Mich./Saint Francis / Indiana) added nine stops and Chad Woodfine (Springfield, Mass./Chicopee / Suffield Academy) six. Five other Chargers recorded at least half a sack - Greg Pease (Camden, N.J./Paul VI), Isaac Coates (Red Bank, N.J./Red Bank / Grambling State), Tarik Pusey (Brooklyn, N.Y./Abraham Lincoln / Rhode Island), Drake Harris (Union, N.J./Union) and Ralph Jonathas (Everett, Mass./Everett).

The Falcons were led by quarterback Danny Guadagnoli who lit up the air with 484 yards and five touchdowns on 28-of-42 passing with one interception. Under pressure all afternoon, the senior quarterback was sacked five times by the Chargers' defense. His top two receivers, Alex Farkes and Jeff Hill, each finished with over 100 yards receiving on seven-or-fewer catches apiece.

In a game that featured 10 lead changes, offense was the key to success for the Chargers. UNH's game-winning drive began with 54 seconds remaining at its own 18-yard line. The Chargers, who had no timeouts remaining, needed to clock the ball two times before the game-winning pass and catch. Bradley orchestrated the drive with passes to Adegunle, Headen, Officer and White. Key plays included a 26-yard completion to Headed on the second play of the drive and another 10-yard completion on 4th-and-2 form Bradley to his top target. Prior to the game winning touchdown, the Chargers were faced with 4th-and-4 with 6.7 seconds remaining. Bradley then found Headen on a post from 19-yards out to complete the comeback.

Rodney Lanham (Bridgeport, Conn./Bridge Academy) set up the game's first scoring drive when he intercepted a Guadagnoli pass five minutes into the first quarter. He set the Chargers up with a short field and Brian Roberts (Amherst, N.Y./Amherst Central) split the uprights for his first attempt of the 2014 season.

Bentley's next series began the back-and-forth action on homecoming day in Waltham. The Falcons went 76-yards on three plays, including a 69-yard touchdown pass from Guadagnoli to Hill which created the game's first of 10 consecutive lead changes.

New Haven answered on its next series with a six-play, 75-yard drive which was capped by a White 39-yard acrobatic touchdown grab over a Bentley defender. The Chargers held on to the 10-7 lead as the first quarter came to an end.

Both teams were scoreless on their first drives of the second quarter, but Bentley would regain the lead midway through the quarter. The Falcons went 84-yards on nine plays and finished with a 27-yard touchdown strike from Guadagnoli to Jet Kollie with 3:47 left.

The Chargers next offensive series featured a 21-yard completion to White and a 33-yard rush from Anderson which set the Chargers up on 1st-and-goal. Anderson got the call from Bentley's 3-yard line and rolled off the left edge to put UNH back in front, 17-14.

Bentley answered yet again on its next series. The Falcons marches 75-yards on five plays before Guadagnoli and Hill connected on a short 3-yard out pattern. With the extra point, Bentley held a four-point advantage at halftime, 21-17.

Much like the first half, the second opened with unsuccessful drives by both offenses. UNH went 3-and-out, while the Falcons' drive stalled after 10 plays at the UNH 34-yard line. The Charger defense held tough on 4th-and-1, forcing Bentley to turnover on downs.

New Haven used the field position and when 66-yards on seven plays during its next drive. Bradley's favorite target during the drive was Adegunle who caught three passes on the drive, including the 16-yard touchdown throw to put the Chargers back in the lead, 24-21.

Bentley scored again on a long 11-play, 81-yard drive with a Sean Myers 16-yard touchdown reception and regained the lead, 28-24. The advantage held strong through the end of the third quarter for the Falcons who forced a punt on New Haven's final series of the third stanza.

After one play in the third quarter, Bentley was driving to open the fourth quarter before Coates brought down Guadagnoli from behind and forced the ball loose on the UNH 30-yard line. Condit recovered and returned the ball 17-yards to set up 1st-and10 for UNH at its own 48-yard line.

The fumble and return set up New Haven's own 11-yard, 52-yard touchdown drive. Anderson put in his second score of the afternoon of the left edge and the Chargers took back the lead, 31-28, after the Roberts extra point.

Bentley would answer right back, going 73-yards on nine plays and a Farkes touchdown pass from Guadagnoli. The Falcons took a 35-31 lead with 4:57 left in the fourth quarter.

Set up with another offensive series from its own 19-yard line, UNH was poised for another touchdown drive, but Bradley threw an errant pass into the hands of Bentley defender Even Mattern. With 4:08 left, the Falcons attempted to take time off the clock and earn points. The short drive was stalled by the UNH defense at the Chargers 29-yard line. Bentley's 46-yard field goal attempt was blocked and the Chargers were in business again on offense.

On the ensuing drive, the Chargers were marching down the field and nearly into Bentley territory when Bradley's pass to Adegunle went through his hands and eventually knocked around into a Bentley defender with 1:17 on the clock.

Needing to stop the Falcons and burn three-straight timeouts, the Chargers's defense did just that. UNH halted the Bentley offense and forced the Falcons to punt after eating just 23-seconds off the clock. The punt was returned by Headen to 12 yards to UNH's 18-yard line, setting up the game-winning drive with just 54 second left.

New Haven returns to action on Saturday, October 4 when it travels to NE-10 foe Stonehill for a night game at 6 p.m.
