Sports Briefs: Maysonet sets conference record for career rushing yards
COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Maysonet sets conference, school marks Miguel Maysonet, a senior from Riverhead, became the Stony Brook and Big South all-time leading rusher Saturday night in a 49-7 defeat of Charleston Southern at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium on Saturday. Senior Kyle Essington tied a school record with five touchdown passes as Stony Brook (5-1, 1-0) won its seventh straight Big South game. Charleston Southern dropped to 1-4, 0-1.
Maysonet accounted for 88 rushing yards, giving him 3,649 for his career. He broke Conte Cuttino’s school mark of 3,607 yards and Rashad Jennings’ conference total of 3,633.
“I know my name will be attached to the records, but it’s the offensive line and tight ends and fullbacks as much as it is mine,” Maysonet said. “The team gets the plays done.”
Maysonet, who ran for a touchdown, also became the first player in Big South history to rush for a touchdown in the first six games of a season.
