NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — Cole Doyle recovered from a rocky start to throw four touchdown passes and Jordan Jackson ran for two more as St. Francis (PA) rolled to a 49-14 win over Central Connecticut in its season finale Saturday afternoon.

The Red Flashes (4-6) finished third in the Northeast Conference at 4-3, two games behind conference champion Duquesne.

Doyle threw two interceptions before he completed his second pass to a teammate in the first quarter. Luquay Washington recorded the interception; a 52-yard pick-6 for Central Connecticut.

Doyle threw three touchdown passes, two to Dawson Snyder, including a 32-yard score, and Jackson dashed 28 yards to give St. Francis a 28-7 lead at intermission. Doyle added a 22-yard touchdown to Jake Bruno and Jackson punched over from the one to make it 42-7 after three quarters.
