Phil Terio ’15 has set an NCAA Division III football single season record by recording four interceptions returned for a touchdown this year. Terio set the record last weekend, picking off a fourth quarter pass and returning it 68 yards for a score during Salve Regina’s 57-21 victory over UMass Dartmouth. It marked the third consecutive game in which Terio has recorded a pick-six.

With at least four more games remaining, Terio has already compiled interception returns of 31, 52, 68 and 88 yards and leads the Seahawks in scoring as strictly a defensive and special teams player. In addition to his four touchdowns off interceptions, he has added a 45-yard punt return for a touchdown, giving him a total of five touchdowns on the year.

At this point in the year, the defensive back has compiled 33 tackles, five interceptions, four pass breakups, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery, helping Salve Regina to an undefeated 6-0 record, a No. 1 ranking in the region and as high as a No. 30 ranking in the nation.

Terio was recently mentioned for his achievement in USA Today. Click here to view the article. The Seahawks will be back in action Saturday, Oct. 13, hosting Curry College at noon at Gaudet Field.
