KINGSTON, R.I. -- Trevor Knight threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another to stake New Hampshire to a lead and the Wildcats pulled away late for a 39-17 win over Rhode Island on Saturday.

Dalton Crossan, who rushed for 199 yards against Holy Cross two weeks ago, totaled 87 yards on 19 carries against Rhode Island (0-4, 0-2).

The Rams had closed to 25-17 with 9:54 remaining in the game after Paul Mroz ran it in from the 12. Knight and the Wildcats answered with a 10-play, 63-yard drive to go up 32-17 when Knight hit Neil O'Conner on a 12-yard scoring strike.

On Rhode Island's next series Josh Kania forced a fumble. D'Andre Drummond-Mayrie scooped it up and scored from the 10.
