NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) Najae Brown returned his second interception of the game for a touchdown in an explosive fourth quarter as CCSU blanked Robert Morris 34-0 on Saturday, the Blue Devils' first shutout in seven years.

Central Connecticut (4-5, 3-1 Northeast) swarmed Robert Morris all game, forcing six turnovers that included picking off Mathew Barr five times, and blocked a punt for a touchdown. All the Blue Devils points came after halftime - including three touchdowns in less than three minutes early in the fourth quarter.
