Jeff Hill

WALTHAM, Mass. – Freshman wide receiver Jeff Hill (Mansfield/Mansfield HS) caught two Hail Mary passes from grad student Bryant Johnson (Hopedale/Milford HS) in the final 30 seconds, but it wasn't quite enough as Bentley University fell to Southern Connecticut State University in a wild Northeast-10 Conference football game before a Homecoming crowd of more than 4,000 Saturday afternoon at Bentley.
