PORTALES, N.M. - Tre'jon Henderson continued to showcase his rushing prowess, exploding for 152 yards and three touchdowns as the Central Washington University football team throttled the Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds 45-17.
 
"I was very pleased with tonight's performance, and really happy with the group. Especially coming off of a bye week, I thought we operated well," Head Coach Chris Fisk said. "Travel is really tough - and the guys probably had as good a performance to start the game as we've seen."
 
Tonight's victory boosts the Wildcat's record to 3-1 overall and 3-0 in conference play.
 
"Tre'Jon keeps showing up and putting on great performances. I thought our offensive line did a great job, defensively Eastern New Mexico can throw a lot at you," Fisk said. "Quincy keeps getting better and better - it's important to remember that he really didn't start until the mid-point of last season, and each week we've seen him grow and improve. I'm proud of all of our guys, getting a road win on homecoming."
