WATERBURY, Conn.- Caldwell University sprint football freshman Quazier Dailey (Prospect Park, N.J.) turned in a record setting performance to help lead the Cougars to its first program victory with a 28-19 triumph over Post University in Collegiate Sprint Football League action.
 
Caldwell improves to 1-2 overall, while the Eagles fall to 0-2 on the season.
 
In a season of many firsts, the Cougars added four first-time efforts in the game. Caldwell posted their first win in the program history with the win over Post. The game also featured the program's first passing touchdown as well as the first 100-yard rushing performance by one player. The defense also recorded their first interception of the season.
 
Post took an early 7-0 lead with a first quarter touchdown. Caldwell rallied before halftime as they found the end zone twice in the second quarter.
 
The Cougars took to the air for their first touchdown of the game as freshman Vincent Crisafi (Clark, N.J.) found freshman running back Nysir Smith (Newark, N.J.) for an 11-yard connection. The Crisafi-to-Smith score marked the program's first passing touchdown.
 
Dailey put Caldwell in the lead midway through the second quarter. He capped an 8-play, 38-yard drive with a four-yard rushing touchdown to give the Cougars a 14-7 lead with 9:26 left in the quarter.
 
The Caldwell defense stepped up late in the second quarter as they made a key defensive stand just before halftime. The Post offense drove down to the Caldwell 12-yard line with just over a minute to play. Freshman Joshua Santana (Cherry Hill, N.J.) intercepted an Eagle pass in the end zone, ending the Post drive and giving Caldwell its first interception in program history.
 
The Eagles rallied in the third quarter as they found the end zone twice. Post failed on both point after attempts as they led 19-14 early in the third quarter.
 
Caldwell retook the lead as Dailey broke free for a 33-yard rushing score to put the Cougars in front 20-19. The Cougars added some insurance points late in the fourth quarter. Crisafi tossed his second touchdown of the game as he found freshman Carl Watson (Newark, N.J.) for a 23-yard scoring strike. Freshman Zavion Stevens (Bloomfield, N.J.) rushed in the two-point conversion as the Cougars pulled ahead 28-19.
