Milton, MA – Montie Quinn had a day to remember on Saturday. The Stratford alum set the NCAA single-game rushing record for Curry College, a Division 3 school in Massachusetts, during their impressive win over Nichols College. Quinn rushed for an astonishing 522 yards on just 20 carries and scored 7 touchdowns in the 71-27 victory. His touchdown runs covered incredible distances of 64, 30, 76, 84, 58, 2, and 85 yards.
Following the game, Quinn expressed his excitement, stating, “Man, I’m just humbled and grateful. Breaking the record is something I never imagined coming into today. The O-Line was dominating all game, receivers were blocking like crazy, and coaches put us in position to make plays. This belongs to all of us; I just happened to be the one carrying the ball.”
Curry Head Coach Todd Parsons lauded Quinn’s performance, saying through the team, “What Montie did today was nothing short of amazing. Breaking the NCAA rushing record is a monumental achievement, but I think he’d be the first to tell you, records like this don’t happen alone. Our Offensive Line played lights out, our receivers blocked downfield, and our quarterback made great decisions.”
Quinn finds himself in his fourth year at Curry College where he has already made a name for himself, breaking the single season rushing record in both his sophomore and junior seasons. Last year, he was honored as a 1st team D3 All-American. With his record-breaking performance on Saturday, Quinn has solidified his position as one of the standout players in collegiate football.
