Octavias McKoy ran for 455 yards, setting a new NCAA record for all-divisions, as Division III Western Connecticut State beat Worcester State 55-35 on Saturday.

McKoy scored five touchdowns in a game for the third time this season and broke the rushing record previously held by Dante Brown of Marietta College. Brown ran for 441 on Oct. 5, 1996 against Baldwin-Wallace.

McKoy, a senior, scored from 15, 1, 41, 53 and 71 yards out and now has 23 TDs on the season.
