After struggling to get the passing game going last week against Lehigh, the Villanova Wildcats found their groove early against the Towson Tigers. Zach Bednarczyk spread the ball around in a strong aerial attack in the first half, and the defense locked in after the intermission to help the ‘Cats take home a 40-21 victory in their CAA conference opener.
Bednarczyk was 20-for-26 passing, with 230 yards and three touchdowns in the air — two to slot receiver Taurus Phillips. The defense piled on with a pair of endzone interceptions in the fourth quarter to quell a late threat from the Tigers.
