Joshua Tomas Earns Patriot League Honorable Mention Honors

WASHINGTON – Georgetown University sophomore wide receiver Joshua Tomas has earned Patriot League Honorable Mention honors, as announced by the league office on Monday. The recognition comes after Georgetown's 69-0 victory over Catholic on Saturday.
 
Tomas accounted for 173 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's victory. The sophomore had a 40-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter and also returned five punts for 133 yards, all in the first half. He had a 66-yard punt return for a touchdown, GU's first since Kevin Macari in 2012. The 66 yards is the fifth-longest punt return in program history.
 
FROM SATURDAY'S WIN
  • The 69 points are the most since Georgetown became a Division I program and the most in a game since 1971, when the Hoyas also scored 69 points against Catholic.
  • GU's 567 total yards are the program's most in a game since 1996 when the Blue & Gray registered 568 against Fairfield.
  • The 353 rushing yards are the most in a game by a Georgetown team since rushing for 353 against Iona in 2000.
  • The shutout was Georgetown's first since blanking Stony Brook in 2006.
 
COMING UP NEXT
The Hoyas will enjoy their first bye week of the season next weekend before traveling to New York for consecutive games against Ivy League opponents. Georgetown will face Columbia on Sept. 28 in a battle for the Lou Little Trophy before playing at Cornell on Oct. 5.
