BIDDEFORD, Maine — Colin Meropoulos, of Monroe, a standout defensive lineman at Endicott College, registered a 20-yard sack in the second quarter during a 39-7 romp over the University of New England on Nov. 14.
The big play broke his school’s record for total yards lost by opponents he had sacked, which was once held by Endicott Hall of Famer Kevin Eagan of the Class of 2012. The game was held on a Saturday afternoon at Blue Storm Stadium.
Meropoulos finished the game with two sacks, increasing his total to 25 (21 solo, 8 assisted) in 38 games played.
The sack for a 20-yard-loss in the second quarter catapulted him into first in the program’s record books for yards lost from sacks with 169 total, at the time, before his other sack bumped his mark up to 176.
Fittingly enough, Meropoulos set the single-game sack record of 4.5 (4 solo, 1 assisted) against UNE on Oct. 30, 2021.
