Weaver passes, runs for TDs and Monmouth clinches at least share of CAA title with 7th straight win

Monmouth secured at least a share of the Coastal Athletic Association title with a 21-17 victory over North Carolina A&T on Saturday, their seventh straight win of the season. Quarterback Frankie Weaver proved to be a dual threat, throwing for a touchdown and catching a touchdown pass himself. Weaver added a 4-yard reception from wide receiver Tra Neal to give Monmouth an early 14-0 lead in the first quarter.

The Aggies (8-2, 7-0) went on to secure a 21-17 victory, thanks to a 42-yard touchdown catch by Christian Harrison from Weaver with just over a minute left in the first half. Later in the game, Kevin White fumbled and Donovan Fey recovered at the Hawks’ 1-yard line to seal the win for Monmouth. Elijah Jennings rushed for 115 yards on 19 carries for the Hawks, while Nazir Treadwell ran for a 2-yard touchdown to score the game's first points.

North Carolina A&T (4-6, 3-3) will next face Hampton next Saturday, while Monmouth travels to play independent Merrimack in a nonconference game on Saturday.
