WEST HAVEN (Interstat) — Carson Camp accounted for six touchdowns and Duquesne pulled away from New Haven for a 41-14 victory in an NCAA Football Championship Division game on Saturday at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. Camp, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound quarterback from Bloomington, Ill., completed 16 of 23 passes for 291 yards and three touchdowns and rushed nine times for 37 yards and three more scores. The Dukes improved to 4-4. The Chargers fell to 2-7. An announced crowd of 4,200 attended the game.

Duquesne’s passing game repeatedly found Ryan Petras, who turned in a productive afternoon against the New Haven secondary. Petras caught eight passes for 153 yards and three touchdowns. Camp connected with Petras on scoring receptions of 9, 29 and 15 yards, giving the Dukes a big-play option throughout the game. Khiryn Boyd added three catches for 44 yards, Daniel Tarabrella had a 22-yard reception, Antwon Thomas caught one pass for 11 yards and Noah Canty added a 3-yard catch. The Dukes finished with enough balance to keep the Chargers from focusing on one part of the offense. Duquesne also got a 15-yard kickoff return from Antwon Thomas, a 14-yard kickoff return from Khiryn Boyd and a 3-yard run from Jalen Neals. Dazhaun Hopkins had two rushes for 2 yards, and Dewey Byrd had one punt return for minus-2 yards.

Camp also did damage on the ground, scoring three rushing touchdowns as Duquesne controlled the red zone. Duquesne scored seven points in the first quarter, seven in the second, 13 in the third and 14 in the fourth. The Dukes put the game away with two fourth-quarter scoring runs by Camp, and their ability to finish drives with touchdowns made the difference as New Haven tried to stay within reach. Duquesne’s offense generated 41 points despite the Chargers forcing two interceptions, one by Brodie Williams and one by Ricky Encarnacion. The Dukes leaned on Camp’s decision-making and Petras’ ability to win downfield, and the combination produced too many explosive plays for New Haven to overcome.

Duquesne opened the scoring when Camp found Petras for a 9-yard touchdown. The Dukes struck again when Camp hit Petras for a 29-yard scoring play. New Haven answered with Matt Chandler’s 2-yard run, but the ensuing two-point rush by Joe Fragale failed. Camp’s 1-yard scoring run in the second quarter helped Duquesne build a cushion. In the third quarter, Camp and Petras connected for a 15-yard touchdown, and New Haven responded with Jake Tripptree’s 9-yard scoring pass to LaSalle Rose Jr. Camp then scored on a 5-yard run in the fourth quarter, and he added a 1-yard scoring run later in the period.

Jake Tripptree led New Haven’s offense by completing 20 of 37 passes for 196 yards and one touchdown. D’Arious Reed caught three passes for 78 yards, Matt Chandler had four receptions for 25 yards and scored on a 2-yard run, and LaSalle Rose Jr. caught a 9-yard touchdown pass. Rose also returned four kickoffs for 51 yards. Zaon Laney carried 12 times for 27 yards and added one reception for 8 yards. Frank Daniley had a 9-yard catch, Nate Burleson II caught two passes for 28 yards, Issac Glaudin had three catches for 11 yards, Dominic Grguric had three catches for 25 yards, and Tommy Troy added a 5-yard reception. Shaun Jackson had one reception for minus-2 yards and two rushes for 1 yard, Caleb Williams rushed once for 2 yards, and Matt Chandler added a 2-yard run. The Chargers moved the ball in spurts but could not match Duquesne’s scoring pace.

New Haven’s defense got contributions from several players. Ricky Encarnacion recorded nine tackles, one quarterback hurry and one interception. Brodie Williams had six tackles and an interception. Irv Briggs added five tackles and one quarterback hurry. Myles Hansford and Frederick Borkey each finished with seven tackles. Abdoul Bah had five tackles, Pete Melle had four tackles, and Tyler Hammel, JT Krivinskas and Lucas Theriaque each had three tackles. Nikkem Reynolds and Chris Hudson each had two tackles, while Tyler Owens, Gabe Perez, John Sualla Jr., Chris Martin, Xaviare Ager, Kam Allen and Bakail Talmadge each had one tackle. Dre Kirton added a 45-yard kickoff return and one tackle. Jack Morgese punted six times for 235 yards.

Duquesne’s defense was led by Luke Miller, who had seven tackles. Deven Thomas added five tackles, Zach Chambers had three tackles and Bernard Blakey had two tackles. Daniel Tarabrella added one tackle. Andrew Graham punted three times for 114 yards. Duquesne also blocked a 48-yard field-goal attempt by Liam Quigley in the first quarter, a play that helped keep New Haven from building early momentum. The Dukes’ special teams and defense did enough to support an offense that scored on a steady stream of Camp-led drives.

Camp entered the game after completing 10 of 17 passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 18 yards and two scores in a 52-21 victory over Wagner. Duquesne had won that previous game, while New Haven had lost 42-20 at Central Connecticut in its previous game. Duquesne will next host Robert Morris, and New Haven will next host Long Island. Duquesne’s four wins this season include a 52-21 victory over Wagner and a 53-0 win over Rio Grande. New Haven’s two wins have come against Robert Morris and Marist. The Dukes’ record moved to 4-4, while the Chargers dropped to 2-7.
