Watkins hit Lucas Kopecky on a 25-yard play for the first touchdown in the second quarter and capped the 99-yard fourth-quarter drive with a 19-yard toss to Devin Smith that gave Villanova (FCS No. 14, 6-2, 3-1 Coastal Athletic Conference) a 14-3 lead.
New Hampshire added a 40-yard field goal by Nick Mazzie, his second FG of the game, with a minute remaining.
Watkins completed 7 of 13 passes for 112 yards and was not intercepted.
