Towson opened up conference play Saturday night with a stunning 31-10 upset victory against the Villanova Wildcats. Coming off a 42-3 win against the Morgan State Bears, the Tigers (2-0, 1-0 CAA) never trailed to the visiting Wildcats (0-2, 0-1 CAA).
"This team won a national championship," Towson coach Rob Ambrose said. "Just to be uttered in the same breath as them fills you in with an automatic degree of respect."
Towson's second victory of the season doubles its win count from a year ago. Since taking over the program, Rob Ambrose has only one other win in the Colonial Athletic Association, a 2009 road victory against Rhode Island. The Tigers victory marks their first win streak since 2007, when they opened the season with wins over Central Connecticut and Morgan State.
To say this win was long awaited for by Towson students and fans is an understatement. After the game, the student section rushed the field.
"I'm an alum," Ambrose said. "This isn't just a job. This is my home. It's like the thing where the Grinch's hurt blows up -- I don’t smile that much, but this is a hell of a day for Towson."
