FAIRFIELD (Interstat) — The Towson Tigers will visit the Sacred Heart Pioneers on Saturday in an NCAA Football Championship Division game at Campus Field in Fairfield, Conn. Sacred Heart enters with a 4-4 record, while Towson is 1-8. The forecast at game time calls for 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

Towson will try to build on its most recent result, a 44-13 win over Hampton. The Tigers had struggled through a difficult stretch before that victory, and they will need another strong effort against a Sacred Heart team that has won two straight. In the win over Hampton, Hayden Loveless recorded two tackles, one sack and one quarterback hurry, while Marquis Cooper and Kyron Grayson each made two tackles.

Jacob Davis is the player to watch for Towson. In his most recent game against Hampton, Davis completed 19 of 26 passes for 216 yards, ran 14 times for 109 yards and accounted for multiple touchdowns. In an earlier game against Campbell, he completed 23 of 39 passes for 257 yards, ran six times for 40 yards and scored multiple touchdowns. Davis gives the Tigers a dual-threat presence and will be central to their efforts to move the ball against the Pioneers.

Sacred Heart counters with Poochie Snyder, one of the more productive players in its recent stretch. In the Pioneers’ 32-31 win at Stony Brook, Snyder completed 28 of 43 passes for 309 yards, ran nine times for 21 yards and threw two touchdowns. Against Hampton, he completed 18 of 21 passes for 198 yards, ran nine times for 42 yards and accounted for three touchdowns. Jared Hirschfeld added three tackles in the Stony Brook win, and Matthias Lighten made two tackles.

The Pioneers have shown balance in recent weeks, with Snyder directing the offense and the defense making enough plays to support close wins. Sacred Heart’s most recent victory came by one point at Stony Brook, following a 35-21 home win over Hampton. Towson’s recent schedule has been demanding, but the Tigers enter off their best offensive output of the season.

Sacred Heart will host Bryant in its next game, and Towson will visit Rhode Island in its next contest. For now, the focus is on the matchup at Campus Field, where the Pioneers will try to protect home field and the Tigers will seek consecutive wins.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a final score of Sacred Heart 41, Towson 32, and its ELO system gives Sacred Heart a 70.7 percent probability to win.
