NEW YORK (AP) C.J. Montes threw for two touchdowns, Julius Loughridge ran for two and Fordham overwhelmed Stonehill 44-0 on Saturday.

The Rams (3-1) were not affected by the rain and wind from Tropical Storm Ophelia, piling up 497 yards. Montes was 14 of 21 for 220 yards, Loughridge ran for 108 yards and Garrett Cody had six receptions for 119 yards.

Cody also blocked a punt, scooped up the ball, dropped it and caught it on the bounce before coasting into the end zone for a touchdown that made it 38-0 in the closing seconds of the third quarter.

The defense posted its first shutout since 2012, limiting the Skyhawks (2-2) to 257 yards and 3 of 16 on third down. The Rams limited Stonehill quarterback Ashur Carraha to 15 completions in 37 attempts for 101 yards.

Fordham, up 10-0 at halftime, scored four touchdowns in the third quarter. Montes had touchdown passes for 28 yards to MJ Wright and 17 to Mekai Felton and in between Loughridge had his second touchdown. Cody's touchdown wrapped up the outburst.
