MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Jacob Dolegala passed for 341 yards and two touchdowns and Drew Jean-Guillaume ran for 157 yards and three scores as Central Connecticut State pulled away in the second half for a 56-35 victory over Robert Morris on Saturday.

Robert Morris pulled within 42-35 on Jimmy Walker's 7-yard TD pass to Matthew Gonzalez late in the third quarter, but Dolegala ran for a 9-yard score and hit Rush for a 20-yard TD in the final quarter to close out the win.

Walker passed for 268 yards and two TDs -- both to Gonzalez -- and Alijah Jackson rushed for 124 yards and two scores for the Colonials.
