Graduate student Frankie Polito (Shrewsbury, Mass.) shared game-high honors with six solo tackles, including a sack to help WPI defeat the University of New England, 31-13, in its home opener on Friday evening. The graduate student forced a fumble on a sack late in the second quarter that was recovered by the Engineers and turned into a touchdown three plays later that pushed the Crimson and Gray lead to 18 points (24-6) at the half. Polito also posted a QB hurry as WPI improved to 2-0 for the second straight season.
