MANKATO, Minn. --- The incoming snowstorm had been the narrative leading into the Mavericks’ quarterfinal game against the Tarleton State Texans and proved to be a massive game-changer as the second half be-came a whiteout and the Mavericks overcame a 10-0 deficit in the fourth quarter to win 13-10, and advance to the NCAA Division II Semi-finals. With the win, MSU improves to 13-0 on the season, while TSU finishes its

season with an 12-1 record. The Mavericks now own a 11-10 all-time record in NCAA Tournament action.The first quarter didn’t see much in the way of offense as an opening drive

field goal for the Texans would account for all of the scoring in the opening frame. The Maverick defense managed to stymie the vaunted Texans run game, a sign of things to come throughout the game, but struggled to find any rhythm on offense.Tarleton State would own the scoring in the second half as a broken cov-

erage resulted in Zimari Manning finding the endzone on a 67-yard pass from quarterback Ben Holmes. After the touchdown it looked as though the Mavericks were going to be able to tighten the game, but Nate Gunn lost the football fighting for yardage resulting in the Texans taking possession of the ball. Minnesota State forced Tarleton State to punt and had another chance to score at the end of the half before Ryan Schlichte under-threw a ball in the endzone that linebacker EJ Speed intercepted, allowing the Texans to kneel out the half with a 10-0 lead. Then, winter came to Mankato, and despite the hard work of the field crew

during halftime, the field was hidden under an ever-growing layer of snow.The Mavericks’ first possession ended abruptly on a JD Ekowa intercep-

tion, but the Texan’s offense quickly went three-and-out. In the blustering wind and with the whiteout level snowfall, Minnesota State set out on the drive that would define the game. Pounding the ball on the inside with Gunn, and unable to pass in the conditions, the Mavericks drove the ball 97-yards, with 27 plays, taking 12:09 minutes of the game clock and scored their first points of the game on a five-yard touchdown pass from Schlichte to Shane Zylstra on fourth down. Both teams traded a pair of unsuccessful drives before Minnesota State

got the ball at their own 24-yard line with 3:14 to go in the game. Gunn pro-ceeded to break a 36-yard run and after moving the ball into the red-zone, he changed direction on a draw after being stopped at the line and found the endzone from 11 yards out to give the Mavericks their first lead of the game at 13-10, where they failed on a two-point conversion. As a team, the Mavericks tallied 416 yards of offense, including 350 rush-

ing yards. The Texans managed 367 yards of offense, with 198 coming through the air.The Maverick defense collapsed on a Texans run game that last week

had gained 350 yards against defending champion Texas A&M Commerce, holding them to 169 yards on the ground. Gunn carried the load for the Mavericks, rushing 50 times in the game

for 262 yards and a touchdown. The 50 carries by a Gunn are the most in Minnesota State history, breaking a 50-year-old record held by Maverick Hall-of-Famer Bernie Maczuga, which was 48. Zylstra led the Maverick receivers with three catches for 30-yards and a

touchdown, despite the weather conditions. Zach Robertson led Minnesota State with eight tackles in the game in-

cluding one for a loss. Holmes led the Texans in passing, completing 10-of-26 passes for 198

yards and a touchdown, and added 77 yards on six carries. Manning finished the game as Tarleton State’s leading receiver with 140

yards on five catches with a touchdown. EJ Speed led the Texans with 17 tackles in the game and added an in-

terception.

during halftime, the field was hidden under an ever-growing layer of snow.The Mavericks’ first possession ended abruptly on a JD Ekowa intercep-

tion, but the Texan’s offense quickly went three-and-out. In the blustering wind and with the whiteout level snowfall, Minnesota State set out on the drive that would define the game. Pounding the ball on the inside with Gunn, and unable to pass in the conditions, the Mavericks drove the ball 97-yards, with 27 plays, taking 12:09 minutes of the game clock and scored their first points of the game on a five-yard touchdown pass from Schlichte to Shane Zylstra on fourth down. Both teams traded a pair of unsuccessful drives before Minnesota State

got the ball at their own 24-yard line with 3:14 to go in the game. Gunn pro-ceeded to break a 36-yard run and after moving the ball into the red-zone, he changed direction on a draw after being stopped at the line and found the endzone from 11 yards out to give the Mavericks their first lead of the game at 13-10, where they failed on a two-point conversion. As a team, the Mavericks tallied 416 yards of offense, including 350 rush-

ing yards. The Texans managed 367 yards of offense, with 198 coming through the air.The Maverick defense collapsed on a Texans run game that last week

had gained 350 yards against defending champion Texas A&M Commerce, holding them to 169 yards on the ground. Gunn carried the load for the Mavericks, rushing 50 times in the game

for 262 yards and a touchdown. The 50 carries by a Gunn are the most in Minnesota State history, breaking a 50-year-old record held by Maverick Hall-of-Famer Bernie Maczuga, which was 48. Zylstra led the Maverick receivers with three catches for 30-yards and a

touchdown, despite the weather conditions. Zach Robertson led Minnesota State with eight tackles in the game in-

cluding one for a loss. Holmes led the Texans in passing, completing 10-of-26 passes for 198

yards and a touchdown, and added 77 yards on six carries. Manning finished the game as Tarleton State’s leading receiver with 140

yards on five catches with a touchdown. EJ Speed led the Texans with 17 tackles in the game and added an in-

terception.

2017 NCAA Division II Playoff First Round Duluth, Minnesota

Saturday, November 17, 2018#15 Texas A&M-Commerce 33 at #1 Minnesota State 17

DULUTH, Minn. --- Defense and special teams plays were the order of the day at James S. Malosky Stadium as the University of Minnesota Dulu-th and Texas A&M University-Commerce combined for only two offensive touchdown and 464 total yards, but in the end it was the defending national champion Lions who prevailed 33-17 in the opening round of the NCAA Division II playoffs.

UMD scored both of its touchdowns on a pair of pick sixes in the second quarter. The first of those came from senior inside linebacker Gus Wedig (a 80-yard return) and, on the Lions’ next series, sophomore outside lineback-er Nate Pearson gave the Bulldogs their only lead of the day at 14-10 when he hijacked a short pass and brought it back 29 yards. That marked the first time the Bulldogs had two interception returns for touchdowns in the same game since doing so against Minnesota State University-Mankato on Nov. 4, 2010.

One of the key turning points for the Lions then came in the waning sec-onds of the first half when Dominque Ramsey returned a punt 79 yards for a touchdown to put Texas &AM Commerce ahead for good at 17-14. The Lions later sealed the win midway through the fourth quarter with a scoop and score off a blocked punt.

“I thought the deciding factor in today’s game was that we got beat pretty good in the kicking game,” said Head Coach Curt Wiese, whose Bulldogs were appearing in the NCAA II postseason for the ninth time in the last seasons. “We knew that going in we were going to have to flip the field in the kicking game. Giving up the punt return at the end of the first half was a critical mistake and then having one blocked in the third quarter in a situa-tion where we had an opportunity to flip the field, those are game changers and you can’t let those happen against good football teams. The Bulldogs were held to just 188 yards of total offense – their lowest

total in 12 years – and were a mere 1-for-18 on the third conversions. Texas A&M-Commerce didn’t fare a whole lot better, grinding out 276 yards on the afternoon, including a mere 63 yards on the ground. Wedig, one of 22 seniors on the UMD roster, equaled a personal best with 12 total tackles to top both teams while junior free safety Bill Atkins had a hand in seven stops.

Junior quarterback Mike Rybarczyk rushed 12 times for 31 yards to lead all Bulldogs and had UMD’s longest run from scrimmage -- an 11-yard scamper.

Dennis hauled in a 36-yard pass from Ryan Schlichte at 12:29 of the first quarter to cap off a seven-play, 75-yard drive. The Lions, who were playing their third consecutive road play-off contest

after picking up wins at Winona State and Central Washington the two pre-vious weekends, responded with a six-play, 76-yard drive that ended with a 19-yard touchdown run from freshman running back E.J. Thompson at 5:56 of the first quarter. Texas A&M-Commerce took its first lead right before the end of the open-

ing period on a 37-yard field goal from Kristov Martinez, but Minnesota State kicker Casey Bednarski booted a 25-yard field goal at 11:50 of the second quarter to knot the score at 10-10. Martinez kicked a 35-yard field goal at 1:45 of the second with the Lions

taking a 13-10 lead. But at the 1:02 mark, the Mavericks recovered a fum-bled punt return and capitalized two plays later when Dennis scored his second touchdown of the game, catching a 24-yarder from Schlichte to make it 16-13 in favor of the host school. The Mavericks went for two on the PAT and when Nate Gunn punched into the end zone for the successful conversion, Minnesota State took an 18-13 lead into the locker room at halftime.TAMUC found the end zone on an 80-yard punt return from Buck Wilson

at 10:30 of the third quarter and when Carandal Hale ran the ball into the end zone on a successful two-point conversion attempt, the Lions took a 21-18 lead.The Mavericks responded early in the fourth quarter. Set up by a 28-yard

reception by Shane Zylstra, Bednarski kicked a 40-yard field goal to pull the Mavericks even at 21-21 at 13:09. But at 11:29 the Lions regained the lead for good on a 48-yard field goal by Martinez. Then, with 6:47 left in regula-tion, Marquis Wimberly caught a 30-yard TD pass from Harlon Hill finalist Luis Perez on a drive that included seven plays and went 67 yards.

2017 NCAA Division II Playoff Second Round Mankato, Minnesota

Saturday, November 25, 2017#5 Midwestern State 21 at #1 Minnesota State 63

MANKATO, Minn. --- The Minnesota State Mavericks (13-0) defeated the Midwestern State Mustangs (10-1) in dominating fashion, 63-21 at Blakel-see Stadium in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Mustangs started the game with a bang as quarterback Layton Rabb

found a streaking Tyler Milliken for 63-yards down the seam and one play later Rabb found D.J. Myers for a 12-yard touchdown on a flag route against man coverage. The Mavericks responded by showing their desire to run the ball and after

a drive that lasted over four minutes, junior kicker Casey Bednarski con-nected on a 23-yard field goal to cut the Mustang lead to 7-3. With a quick defensive adjustment, Minnesota State forced a three-and-out and con-tinued to rely on the run game. Sophomore Nate Gunn and redshirt fresh-man Justin Taormina combined to run the ball for 69 yards before Gunn found the endzone to give the Mavericks their first lead, a lead they would maintain the rest of the game, and a two-point conversion from sophomore Justin Arnold thrown to junior Trevor Nissen made the score 11-7. After another three-and-out from the Mustang offense, redshirt freshman JD Ekowa hit Arnold in the endzone to push the Minnesota State lead to 18-8. The second quarter would see both teams struggle to capitalize on scor-

ing opportunities until the Mavericks put together a complete 13-play, 73-yard drive that ate 6:16 of game clock, which culminated in a seven-yard touchdown run from Ekowa that gave Minnesota State a 25-7 halftime lead.The story of the half, and ultimately of the game, was the run game of

the Mavericks and how it allowed them to control not only the flow of the game, but the clock. Minnesota State held the ball for 19:39 of the first half compared to 10:21 for Midwestern State, and rushed for 281 yards against 30 for the Mustangs. The Mavericks completely controlled the third quarter as they would score

the next twenty-four points with a 21-yard touchdown pass from sopho-more Ryan Schlichte to redshirt freshman Nyles Williams, a one-yard Gunn touchdown run, a 38-yard field goal from Bednarski and a five-yard touchdown pass from Schlichte to sophomore Shane Zylstra. Zysltra’s 15th touchdown catch of the season ties Dorian Buford’s single-season record that he set back in 2014.Both teams would add a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter, Min-

nesota State scoring on a seven-yard Ekowa run and a five-yard run from sophomore Ian Pribyl, to give the matchup a final score of 63-21 in favor of the Mavericks. The sixty-three points for Minnesota State are the most they have scored

since defeating Minnesota Crookston 63-3 on Sept. 26th of the 2015 sea-son. Gunn led the Mavericks with 195 yards on 25 carries to go with two touchdowns and Taormina added 134 yards on nineteen carries and as a team Minnesota State put up 502 yards on the ground compared to twen-ty-five from Midwestern State. The 502 rushing yards is the most for the Mavericks since a November 16, 2013 game against Upper Iowa where they ran for 526 yards. Gun has now rushed for more than 100 yards in nine games this season, while Taormina has rushed for more than 100 yards in five games.As a team, Minnesota State limited Midwestern State to just 285 passing

yards including just 25 rushing yards. The Mustangs entered the weekend averaging 502 yards of offense a game. Senior Jerry Nash III recorded an interception, while senior Evan Perrizo tallied one sack.

Just a few minutes later, USF was able extend the lead after MWSU chose to go for it on fourth and four. The defense for USF stepped up and created a scoring opportunity. On a third and six play, junior wide receiver Michael Maxwell, who was playing for the first time in his home state of Texas, hauled in a 16-yard TD pass from Fieber as USF built a 17-0 lead.In the final five minutes of the half, the explosive Mustangs offense

of the MWSU punter, USF was able to get the ball at the Mustangs’ 47-yard line. Junior A.J. Garrow caught a 28-yard TD strike from Fie-ber to the MWSU’s 17-yard line. But a short run by Towns and three incomplete passes turned the ball back to MWSU and just 2:40 on the clock. On third and two from their own 28 yard line, Seales was able to get just the distance for a first down and when Rabb ran for 12 yards on another third down from their own territory, the home-stand-ing Mustangs ran out the clock and advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

2017 NCAA Division II Playoff First Round Mankato, Minnesota

Saturday, November 18, 2017#20 CSU-Pueblo 13 at #1 Minnesota State 16 OT

MANKATO, Minn. --- The Minnesota State Mavericks (12-0) defeated the CSU-Pueblo ThunderWolves (9-3) in an overtime showdown 16-13 at Blakelsee Stadium in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Mavericks’ opening drive featured a heavy dose of the run game

featuring the return of sophomore Nate Gunn. The drive consisted of 12 plays, 11 of which came on the ground before the team turned over the ball on downs at the ThunderWolves’ 28-yard line, a strong wind making a field goal attempt nearly impossible. After several defensive stops by both teams a Minnesota State punt attempt got caught in the wind and gave CSU-Pueblo a first and 10 from the Maverick 28-yard line. Despite the good field position, the ThunderWolves could only muster a field goal opportunity which they made from 45-yards to take a 3-0 lead with 3:01 remaining in the first quarter. The teams would go on to trade interceptions, Minnesota State’s

Ty’Shonan Brooks posted his first career interce ption, followed by a throw that sailed over the middle from sophomore Ryan Schlichte that gave the ThunderWolves first and 10 at the Maverick 18-yard line. CSU-Pueblo would capitalize on a seven-yard touchdown from Aus-tin Micci to go up 10-0. The Mavericks would find their first points of the game with 0:21 remaining in the half when junior Casey Bednarski drilled a 29-yard field goal to make the score 10-3, which the teams took into halftime.As a team, Minnesota State outgained CSU-Pueblo 104-46 and dom-

inated in time of possession, 21:07 to 8:53. Gunn led all rushers with 80-yards on 24 carries.The second half began with the Mavericks forcing a quick three and

out which turned into a ThunderWolves punt into the wind, which netted nine yards. Minnesota State moved down the field but the drive stalled outside the red-zone, which resulted in a 30-yard field goal from Bednar-ski that tightened the score to a 10-6 advantage for CSU-Pueblo. With the Mavericks driving down the field late in the third quarter, wind at their back, Schlichte attempted a deep pass to freshman Nyles Williams that the ThunderWolves were able to pick off giving them first and 10 at their own 10 yard line. With CSU-Pueblo pinned deep and the wind against them, the Mav-

ericks used their timeouts to try to take advantage of the wind and the ThunderWolves were forced to punt with 0:07 remaining in the third. The punt put the Mavericks in good field position but an intentional grounding penalty gave them second and 23 from midfield to end the quarter. With a run up the middle that gained nothing on second down to start

the fourth quarter freshman JD Ekowa heaved a pass into the wind that found sophomore Shane Zylstra in double coverage. The pass got tipped back into the air but as he fell Zylstra pulled the ball in for a 22-yard catch to give the Mavericks a fourth and one, which they converted on a rush by Gunn. A couple of plays later, Ekowa took a designed run off the left side of the line for a 20-yard touchdown and after a successful PAT, Minnesota State claimed its first lead of the game by a score of 13-10. Later in the quarter in an attempt to run for a first down, Ekowa had

the ball forced out by CSU-Pueblo and they recovered the ball for first and 10 at the Maverick 28-yard line with 5:05 remaining in the fourth quarter. The turnover proved costly as the ThunderWolves connected on a 27-yard field goal to tie the game at 13-13 with 1:48 remaining in the fourth quarter. Both teams attempted a late drive but the defenses clamped down and at the end of regulation, the score remained tied at 13 leading to overtime. With the game going to overtime, it marked the first time since 2014 against Pittsburg State that the Mavericks played a game that went to overtime.In their first offensive possession in overtime, Minnesota State rushed

three straight plays coming short of a first down. With the wind in his face, Bednarski drilled a 37-yard field goal attempt that got held up in the wind but found its way through the uprights. After a three and out, CSU-Pueblo also attempted a kick into the wind but it was pushed to the right giving the Mavericks the win.

SIOUX FALLS – The best season in program history at the NCAA DII level

ended for the #4 University of Sioux Falls Football Team (12-1) in heartbreak-ing fashion as the #5 Harding Bisons (13-0) converted two late field goals to escape with a 27-24 overtime victory at Bob Young Field.For the Cougars, which won the NSIC Crown and was the 12th team ever

at USF to compete the regular season unbeaten, the loss ended a 12-game winning streak, the program’s longest in the DII era.Harding advances to the quarterfinals of the DII playoffs where they will face

top-seeded Northwest Missouri State (12-0) at Maryville on Saturday, Dec. 3.The Cougars led 3-0 early, trailed 14-10 at halftime, opened up a 24-14 sec-

ond half lead before Harding rallied with a pair of field goals from Tristan Pars-ley, including a 35-yard conversion in overtime to pick up the win.“We just came up a little bit short,” said USF head coach Jed Stugart. “But I

have to tell you I am exceptionally proud of this team for all they accomplished this season,” he said. “We are a family here and we stand together. It is a belief system and culture. We had great leadership from our senior class and they make me very proud,” added Stugart, whose team finished a 23rd consecutive winning season, which is the fifth best total across all divisions of football.“Also, I have to really give Harding credit as they are a talented football team

and wish them well,” Stugart said.With the loss, USF’s unbeaten string in playoff games at Bob Young Field

ended today as the program is now 13-1. USF is now 1-2 in DII playoff games and 38-14 in postseason play all-time.Leading the way for USF was senior quarterback Luke Papilion who com-

pleted 15-of-21 passes for 174 yards with two TD passes and a TD run in his final collegiate game. Papilion, who had eight carries for 23 yards, finished with 197 yards in total offense and finished his career with a school record 12,489 total yards. He also finished with 3,383 yards rushing and 9,103 yards passing, finishing as just the second player in NSIC history to have both 9K passing and 3K rushing. Papilion fell just short of 1,000 yards rushing, setting a school mark for quarterbacks with 987 yards.\Junior running back Max Mickey had 12 carries for 50 yards as he set USF’s

all-time season record for rushing with 204 carries for 1,764 yards and 19 TDs. Mickey, who finished with a DII leading 8.6 yards per carry, passed the mark of USF Sports Hall of Fame running back David Ruter, who had 1,726 yards in 1996. Also Mickey finished the season eighth on USF’s career rushing chart with 2,783 yards.Also for USF, senior wide receiver Josh Angulo had six receptions for 64

yards as he finished with 213 (3rd all-time at USF) receptions for 2,885 yards (5th all-time at USF) and 29 TDs (5th all-time at USF). Another senior Brady Rose had six catches for 41 yards and a TD while adding seven carries for 45 yards. He finished with 191 catches (sixth all-time at USF) for 2,431 yards (6th all-time at USF) and 20 TDs, (9th all-time).In total, 26 seniors played their final game for the Cougars, including all-NSIC

linebacker Michael Mehling, who had a career-best 14 tackles as he finished with 127 tackles, 15 TFLs, 5.5 sacks and an interception this season. Mehling’s 127 tackles ranks second all-time for a season at USF (Jerry Muston, 130, 1989). Also reaching double digits in tackles was senior Nathan Lucs, who had a career best 11 tackles. Meanwhile, Josh Butler had eight tackles and Delvin Batiste had six tackles and an interception, which was the first committed by Harding this season. Overall, the Cougars generated 306 yards on 54 plays against the top de-

fense in DII. The Cougars had 174 yards passing but a season-low 132 yards on 33 carries rushing. However that rushing total nearly doubled what Harding had allowed per game this year (68.0 yards per game). Of note, the Cougars completed the season with a school record 4,005 rushing yards on 582 carries for 6.9 per carry and a school-record 308.1 yards per game. The Cougars also finished with a D2-program-best 6,647 yards or 511.3 per game, also a D2-best for the program.Early on the Cougars jumped to a lead when Brett Garner hit a 29-yard field

goal with 11:46 to play in the first quarter. The score was set up by a 51-yard kickoff return by junior kick returner Kyle Groeneweg. After moving the ball inside the HU 15-yard line, the Cougars took the lead on Garner’s kick.

TD pass from Ellfers to Carr as USF led 27-14. But USF responded with an impressive six-play, 92-yard scoring drive that was all Mickey. He carried the ball six straight times with the final tote a 51-yard TD run that pushed the lead to 34-14 at the 11:55 mark of the fourth quarter.APU again responded when Ethan Zeidler hauled in a 19-yard TD throw from

Elfers with 9:10 to play to trim the deficit to 13 points but USF’s offense ran clock and the defense stepped up to shut down the Cougars, including all-league defensive end Westly Johnson’s ninth sack of the season and 20th of his career, which places him 10th all-time at USF in career sacks.NOTES~ With 312 yards rushing, the Cougars now have 3,873 on the season, which

set a school record as the 2009 team had 3,842 in 15 games. The Cougars are averaging 7.1 yards per carry and 322.8 per game.~ USF’s total offense has grown to 6,341 which is the most since the 2009

Saturday, November 19, 2016#24 Azuza Pacific 21 at #4 Sioux Falls 34

SIOUX FALLS – Playoff football at Bob Young Field certainly has a magical

if not historical feel. For the first time in its NCAA DII era, the #4 University of Sioux Falls Football Team (12-0) won a playoff game and did so featuring its normal fare - a powerful rushing attack and a shutdown defense. With Max Mickey providing 164 yards rushing and scoring three TDs, USF turned back #24 Azusa Pacific (9-3), 34-21, on a chilly (31 degrees) day Saturday.The day after a blizzard hit the Sioux Falls area, the Cougars were undaunted

by the cold temperatures and all business in opening up a 21-7 lead by halftime and controlling the second half with time consuming drives while maintaining a double digit point’s edge over APU, which also go by the nickname, Cougars.USF, which moved to 12-0 for the first time at the DII level, recorded its first DII

playoff win and did it at Bob Young Field where USF is 61-5 all-time and 13-0 in playoff games. Before moving to DII in 2011, USF won 12 straight home games in the NAIA playoffs. Of note, USF is now 1-1 in NCAA DII playoff games and 38-13 in postseason games overall. The Cougars, which have 12 wins for the first time since 2011, recorded its first playoff win since USF advanced to the NAIA title game in 2010 with a 38-0 victory against MidAmerica Nazarene on Dec. 4, 2010, also at Bob Young Field.Mickey led a dominating offensive performance with 22 carries for 164 yards

and three TDs. In total, the Cougars rolled up 489 yards in 82 plays while holding APU to 178 yards on 50 plays.Mickey is now the leading rusher in NCAA DII with 192 carries for 1,714 yards

and 19 TDs. That total also pushed him to second all-time on USF’s season rushing list and only 12 yards behind all-time leader David Ruter (1,726, 1996). USF also received 20 carries for 90 yards and a TD from Justin Fulks while Luke Papilion had 10 carries for 58 yards and completed 10-of-21 passes for 127 yards. Leading the receiving corps was senior Erik Albeck, who had three catches for 77 yards, including a 37-yard acrobatic grab to set up a USF TD. For the seventh time this year, USF rolled up over 300 yards rushing, accu-

mulating 318 on 59 carries. On defense, USF held APU to just 46 yards on 21 carries, which is a season best from the Cougars’ rush defense. In fact, USF also registered a season best in total yards allowed at 178.In the post-game press conference, Mickey credited the offensive line for

opening holes and being aggressive against a defense that had allowed just 97 yards rushing per game. “They were big today,” said Mickey. “They are the reason we are having so much success. They deserve the credit,” he said.Stugart was pleased with his rushing attack and also with is rush defense,

which seems to be getting better every week. “Both units came to play today. They really got after it.”USF’s defense held APU to 16 points below its season total while recording

six sacks, four TFLs, an interceptions and two sacks. The Cougars were led by linebacker Michael Mehling with eight tackles and two TFLs. Clifford Redmond had his sixth interception of the season while Connor Schoepp had his first career sack.After a scoreless first quarter, Mickey put USF on top with a nine-yard run at

the 14:18 mark of the second quarter. Mickey’s TD run culminated a nine-play, 65-yard drive that took 3:40 off the clock. The Cougars added to the lead when Fulks scored on a three-yard run at the 4:57 mark of the second quarter. The drive covered 78 yards in nine plays and used 4:19. It was one of five scoring drives of 64 yards or more.At the 1:17 mark of the second quarter, Mickey found pay-dirt again on a

four-yard run to cap a six-play, 64-yard scoring drive and a 21-0 lead. However, just a few seconds later, the Cougars turned the ball over to the APU Cougars on a muffed punt. With just 29 seconds to play Andrew Ellerts, who completed 6-of-20 passes for 112 yards and three TDs, connected with Weston Carr on a 15-yard TD pass and cut USF’s lead to 21-7 at the break.Plus, USF rarely loses when holding the lead at the half-time break. After the

win over APU, USF is 62-3 in the Stugart era (since 2010) when holding the lead. They are 11-0 this season.While USF did not put up a TD in the third quarter, the offense dominated with

two possessions taking up over 12 minutes of time. Out of the break, USF had a 16-play, 66-yard scoring drive that 7:27 off the clock and resulted in a 26-yard field goal by Brett Garner with 7:29 to play. USF’s lead moved to 27-7 when Garner, who has made combined five field goals in the last two weeks, made

2016 NCAA Division II Playoff First RoundEmporia, Kansas

Saturday, November 19, 2016#13 Minnesota Duluth 26 at #9 Emporia State 59

The University of Minnesota Duluth’s 2016 season – and its 10-game winning steak – came to an end Saturday afternoon in the form of a 59-26 road set-back to Emporia State University in the opening round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. The No. 13 Bulldogs finished their 84th year of intercollegiate football with a

10-2 overall record. “Obviously this was a tough loss for our team and program,” said UMD head

coach Curt Wiese, who owns a 3-3 NCAA II playoff record. “Emporia State played a good game and you have to hand it to them. It came down to making stops on defense and not turning the ball over on offense and they did a better job doing that today.” The Bulldogs, who trailed the entire afternoon, went into halftime down by

just a touchdown (28-20) before being outscored 31-6 in the final two quarters of regulation. Sophomore wide out Jason Balts accounted for two of UMD’s three first-half scores, hauling in a 38-yard strike from senior quarterback Drew Bauer six minutes into the first quarter and then taking a kickoff 90 yards to the house midway through the second quarter. He wound up making seven receptions for 137 yards. Hornet quarterback Braxton Marstall threw for 481 yards and five touch-

downs – including four of 46 yards or more. No. 9 Emporia State (11-1), which was hosting its first NCAA II playoff event, also returned a fumble 35 yards for the final touchdown of the afternoon. Bauer, in the 48th and final appearance of his brilliant Bulldog career, com-

pleted 24 of a personal-high 46 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns, but was picked off twice (for the first time all season) and sacked eight times. Bauer did break the UMD single-season passing yardage record during the course of the afternoon (he finished with 3,461 yards to eclipse the previous mark of 3,335 set by Ted Schlafke in 2005). For the second straight week, he also topped the Bulldogs in rushing with 56 yards on 23 carries while senior running back Darren Walker ran 15 times for 50 yards. The Hornets rolled up 601 yards of total offense, including 488 yards through

air – both the largest outputs generated by a Bulldog opponent this fall. Senior inside linebacker Beau Bates equaled a career high with 12 total tackles to lead both teams and had two of UMD’s six sacks. That pushed his season sack total to a Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference-leading 13.0 while giving him 19.0 for his career – the fourth most ever registered by a Bulldog. UMD as a team closed out 2016 with 52 sacks –two more than the previous program record set eight years ago.The loss marked the end of line for the Bulldogs’ 14 seniors -- Bates, Bauer,

offensive tackle Peter Bateman (who was sidelined with a lower body injury), cornerback Tony Beasley, cornerback Tavaugh Blair, wide out/running back/return specialist Beau Bofferding, center Matt Catton, offensive tackle Cam-eron Hehn, inside linebacker Ben McDonald, placekicker Tyler McLaughlin, offensive guard Connor Randall, nose guard Isaac Vesel, running back Darren Walker, and center Willy Westerman. Over the last four seasons, that group went 43-8, won four of a possible four NSIC North Division titles and made three NCAA II playoff appearances.“I’m still trying to digest that his senior class is gone,” added Wiese. “I have not

been around a group like this during my entire career. They are as high quality of human beings I’ve ever seen and they’re going to be missed.”

when Jason Greenway took the game’s opening kickoff 99 yards for a touch-down. On HSU’s first possession of the game, the Lumberjacks drove to Au-gustana’s 32 yard line and lined up to go for it on fourth down and two. Zach Richter got into the backfield and dropped the ball carrier for a four-yard

loss to turn the Lumberjacks over on downs. On Augustana’s first drive of the game, the Vikings drove into HSU territory

but turned the ball over when Charlie Hayes was stripped of the ball and the Lumberjacks recovered at their own 25. Humboldt State tied the game at 7-7 on its next drive going 75 yards on nine

plays ending with a 21-yard touchdown catch by Chase Krivashei with 5:30 remaining in the first quarter. The Viking offense had a tough time moving the ball early in the game as

the Lumberjacks out-gained Augustana 220 yards to just 50 for the Vikings on offense. Krivashei gave Humboldt State a 14-7 lead just under two minutes into the second quarter with a nine-yard touchdown catch from Robert Webber. Augustana went three-and-out on its next possession but the defense came

up big again when Chad Curry stepped in front of a Webber pass at midfield and returned it to the Humboldt State 35-yard line. The Vikings were able to turn in it into points with Lucas Wainman connecting on a 19-yard field goal to make the score 14-10 with 7:31 left in the first half. On the very next drive but HSU, Augustana forced the Lumberjacks to punt

for the first time in the game and the snap sailed over the punter’s head and was recovered by Augustana’s Nate Winter in the end zone for a touchdown that put Augustana in front 17-14 with 4:26 remaining in the first half. The Lumberjacks tied the game at 17-17 on a 20-yard field goal with 1:56

remaining in the first half and that is where the score would stay heading into the break. The Vikings finished the first half with just 88 yards of total offense, including

just 24 passing yards. Humboldt State accumulated 352 yards of offense, in-cluding 282 yards through the air. Humboldt State started with the ball in the second half and both the Lum-

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. -- In its first-ever NCAA DII playoff appearance, the #16

Sioux Falls Football Team (9-3) battled to the end in dropping a 23-16 decision to #16 Henderson State on Saturday, Nov. 21 in Arkadelphia, Ark.For 17 seniors, the game against Henderson State was the final of their careers.

And, a number of them performed huge against Henderson State. On defense, senior defensive tackle Marco Naughton had eight tackles, a sack, three TFLs and a pass breakup. Grant Schindler had five tackles and his 10th career pass breakup. In the secondary, senior All-American Solomon St. Pierre had three pass breakups to finish with a league-best 24, which fit well his league best nine interceptions. His running mate at corner, John Tidwell had five tackles and end-ed his career with 213 tackles. Safety David Clark also had five tackles while linebacker Carter Ahlers had four which gave him 269 for his career.To go along with that group, junior Westly Johnson had two sacks to give him

11.5 on the season, the most since 2002. Sophomore safety Josh Butler had a team high nine tackles and a TFL as he finished the season with 104 tackles to finish eighth in the league. As a defensive unit, the Cougars had three sacks today to total 39 for the season, which not only led the NSIC and was top 10 nationally, but was the second most in school history since 2002.On the day, USF had 422 yards in total offense on 90 plays while limiting Hen-

derson State to 282. However, HSU came up with three interceptions to turn back the Cougars. The USF total pushed their season total to 5665, the second best total in the DII era (5,798, 2014).Two-time Harlon Hill nominee Luke Papilion had 67 yards rushing and a TD and

threw for 279 yards with 32 completions on 51 attempts. He cracked 9K in total offense on his career, as he finished his junior campaign with a career mark of 9,142. He also cracked 3,000 yards passing for the season, finishing with 3,184. Plus, he added 854 rushing yards on 122 carries for 7.0 average per rush. So, he finished his season with 4,038 yards in total offense as he finished leading the league in total offense for the second straight year (336.5 yards per game). He also completed the season with 37 combined TDs, including 30 by pass.USF’s Josh Angulo had a game-high 10 receptions for 87 yards, including a

long of 24 yards. Riley Waldie had a career-best seven receptions for 55 yards as he stepped in for Brady Rose who left early in the game. Also Erik Albeck had four catches for 66 yards. Justin Fulks had 11 carries for 50 yards on the ground.Facing a seven point deficit with under two minutes to play, the Cougars drove

deep into HSU territory late and had an open receiver in the end zone but Papil-ion’s pass was picked off as the Reddies hung on. HSU will host #7 seed Empo-ria State next weekend at noon in Arkadelphia, Ark. Early on, the home-standing Reddies took an early advantage, driving 68 yards

on six plays to take a 7-0 lead on a 10-yard run by Jaquan Cole with 11:59 left on the clock in the opening quarter.The Cougars answered with 31-yard field goal from Brett Garner with 7:59 to

play in the second quarter. Led by Papilion, the drive covered 61 yards in 12 plays, using four minutes of time.After a long punt return and near fumble recovery by USF set up HSU at the

USF 40-yard line, Reddies quarterback Dallas Hardison, who completed 7-of-17 passes for 108 yards and a TD, scored on a one-yard TD run at the 13 minute mark of the second quarter for a 14-3 lead.Then, the Cougars’ special teams created an opportunity. When a punt by Stu

Vanden Heuvel bounded off a HSU player, USF recovered and cut the deficit. USF wasn’t able to get into the end zone but moved within 14-6 on a 21-yard field goal by Garner with 8:49 to play in the second quarter.Later in the quarter, USF’s offense, which generated 400 yards in total offense

for the 11th time in 12 games, put together their best drive of the game, going 85 yards in 12 plays. The drive was capped off by Papilion’s three-yard TD run as USF drew within 14-13 with :44 left in the half. The TD by Papilion was USF’s first ever in the D2 playoffs.But, USF wasn’t able to put together another TD drive as HSU defense came

up with big plays. Late in the third quarter, HSU drove 69 yards on 12 plays to built a 21-13 lead on a TD throw from Hardison to Mark Czaus with 3:52 on the third quarter clock.Early in the fourth quarter, HSU recorded a safety as they forced Papilion into

the end zone and his throw did not make it back to the line of scrimmage, which was ruled down the ball in the end zone, a safety.

Late in the fourth quarter, the Cougars cut the deficit to 23-16 as Garner hit his third field goal of the game from 25-yards out with 5:32 on the clock. On the drive, USF moved the ball 12 plays and 91 yards in 3:59.Then, USF held the Reddies and put the ball back into Papilion’s hands. Starting

at the 18 yard line, the Cougars had just 1:57 of the clock to work some magic. A couple of completions to Jason Towns and a 10-yard Papilion run took the ball to the 31-yard line. After that, Papilion found Waldie for 15 yards and added two completions to Angulo. With an 11-yard run, Papilion had the Cougars’ set up at the HSU 29-yard line. At that point, Angulo broke free in the end zone and Papilion spotted him, but HSU’s Tiyun Avery made a strong recovery and picked off the ball in the end zone, ending the memorable USF season.

2014 NCAA Division II Playoff Second RoundArkadelphia, Ark.

Saturday, November 29, 2014#2 Minnesota Duluth 48 at #7 Ouachita Baptist 45 OT

Arkadelphia, Ark. - If the University of Minnesota Duluth was looking for an encore to last week’s thrilling comeback victory over the defending NCAA II champions, they found it Saturday afternoon in Arkadelphia, Ark. Zach Zweifel hit quarterback Drew Bauer with a perfectly-thrown nine-yard scoring strike in overtime to cap off a wild 48-45 triumph over undefeated Ouachita Baptist University and send the Bulldogs on to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. UMD, which had ousted 2014 nation-al titleholder Northwest Missouri State 25-21 seven days ago by scoring 19 unanswered fourth-quarter points, will now face Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference rival and No. 1 ranked Minnesota State in Mankato on Dec. 6. “Some way, some how our guys once again found a way to gut it out and get a win,” said UMD head coach Curt Wiese. “We had our backs to the wall quite a few times this afternoon, but we forced some turnovers and made enough offensive plays to win it. We are fortunate to be moving on to the next round and are are excited about playing Mankato next week.” The No. 2 Bulldogs (13-0) appeared headed for their first loss of the sea-son with just over four minutes to play, but the Tigers (10-1), who led 39-35 at the time fumbled on back-to-back possessions inside the red zone. On the second of those turnovers, UMD marched 74 yards on 11 plays for the go-head touchdown (a Bauer-to-Zweifel pass from seven yards out) only to have OBU go 58 yards in eight plays and force overtime with Shelton Wool-ey’s 20-yard field goal with three seconds left on the clock. Wooley nailed a 37-yard field goal on the Tigers’ first series in overtime before the Bulldogs secured their 14th victory in 20 lifetime NCAA II playoff games (4-1 in overtime). It took just two plays for OBU, the Super Region Three’s No. 1, to get on the scoreboard as running Steven Kehner took a handoff, went up the middle and bolted 57 yards for a touchdown (the longest run given up by the Bull-dogs this season) 3:24 into the opening quarter. It then took the Bulldogs about the same amount of time to even the score. Two snaps after sopho-more Beau Bofferding had returned the ensuing kickoff 96 yards, junior run-ning back Logan Lauters plowed in from three yards out, the first of his three touchdowns on the day. UMD went on to take a 28-21 lead into halftime and didn’t trail the Tigers again until 5:54 remained in regulation (when running back Steven Kehner scored his fifth and final touchdown of the game). The two teams combined for 35 points and nearly 300 yards of total of-fense in a wild fourth quarter. Along with recovering two fumbles, UMD also blocked an extra point (by senior linebacker Gavin Grady) and thwarted a OBU two-point conversion attempt (a pass breakup by junior free safety Da-vid Boegel) during the final 15 minutes of regulation. For just the third time in the last 38 games, the Bulldogs were outrushed by an opponent – the Tigers rolled up 281 yards on the ground (the most given up by UMD this season) – while the visitors finished with 207. Workhorse Lo-gan Lauters, a 2014 All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference first team pick, accounted for 161 of those yards and established a career-high for carries with 32. The 2014 All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference first team pick now has seven 100-yard rushing afternoons this season and 12 for his career and pushed his 2014 rushing total to 1,448 yards – the fourth best single-season figure in program history. Bauer, 24-2 as collegiate starter, completed 21 of 37 passes for 293 yards and a pair of touchdowns. One of those completions went to Aaron Roth for 56 yards (the longest catch of the senior wide out’s career), which helped set up Lauter’s second touchdown late in the second quarter. OBU, the 2014 Great America Conference champions making its first NCAA II playoff appearance, did pierce the Bulldog defense for 576 total yards – the highest output by a UMD foe this fall – in the loss. Boegel paced the Bulldogs with nine tackles while senior outside linebacker Gavin Brown had eight stops. Senior cornerback Daryl Brown had a hand in four tackles, picked off one pass (in the UMD end zone), and forced and recovered a fumble. “Hats off to our offense and hats off to our defense,” said Wiese. “This is one relentless and resilient group. This must have been like our fourth or fifth fourth-quarter comeback this year. When we were down by a touchdown with two and-a-half minutes left on the clock, there wasn’t one guy on our sideline who had their head down. If they did, it was because they were tired, not because they thought we were out of it.”

2014 NCAA Division II Playoff First RoundDuluth, Minn.

Saturday, November 22, 2013#6 NW Missouri State 21 at #2 Minnesota Duluth 25

Duluth, Minn. – An instant NCAA Division II playoff classic.That might be the best way to describe what took place Saturday

afternoon at James S. Malosky Stadium, where two of the most successful NCAA II teams in the country over the past half dozen years butted heads in the first weekend of Super Region Three play. The No. 2-ranked Bulldogs delivered a rally for the ages as they scored 19 unan-swered points in the final 10 minutes of play to upend No. 6 Northwest Missouri State University 25-21. With the win over the defending national champion Bearcats (No. 5 seed in Super Region), UMD kept its perfect 2014 record at 12-0 and punched its ticket to the second round of the NCAA II playoffs.The Bulldogs, the Super Region Three’s No. 4 seed, started the day

in promising fashion, taking the opening kickoff and driving 71 yards on nine plays -- capped off by a Drew Bauer-to-Taylor Grant touchdown pass from 13 yards out -- to grab a quick 6-0 lead. Phil Jackson got Northwest Missouri State (No. 5) on the board with a two-yard touch-down run with 3:48 to go in the second quarter and then went up 14-6 a little over two minutes later when Kohlman Adema-Schulte scooped up a blocked punt and took it three yards into the end zone. Kyle Zimmerman tacked on another touchdown (a 29-yard jaunt) for the Bearcats shortly after the start of the second half to make it 21-6. Northwest Missouri State, had a chance to perhaps put the game away late in the third quarter, but failed to score on four tries from inside UMD’s four-yard line (including a fourth-and-goal rush from the two in which Gavin Grady and Daryl Brown stopped running back Robert Burton for a one-yard loss)Bauer, who went on to lead both teams with 131 yards on the ground

(on 25 carries) ignited the UMD comeback with 4:45 into the four quarter by darting 14 yards before hooking up with Beau Bofferding on a 26-yard strike on UMD’s next series. After the Bearcats went three-and-out for the second straight time, UMD took over at their own 30-yard line with 4:18 to play. Ten plays later, Bauer hit paydirt with a two-yard keeper off the left side to put the Bulldogs back on top and did so with only 26 seconds to spare. Northwest Missouri State (10-2) was able to run off four plays and make it down to the UMD 11-yard before time expired.“Being down a couple of touchdowns to the defending national

champion is not a spot you want to be in,” said Bauer, who is 23-2 as a collegiate starter. “But in playoff football, you are going to play a bunch of tough teams so you just have to that fire, energy and emotion to get the job done.”The Bulldogs, now 13-6 all-time in the NCAA II playoffs, finished with

230 yards rushing -- the most given up by Northwest Missouri State this fall (they had allowed an NCAA II-best 58.1 yards per game coming into the day) and 313 yards of total offense, including 183 in the fourth quarter. Bauer completed 12 of 22 for 106 yards with no picks but was sacked three times. Northwest Missouri rolled up 380 yards, all but 100 of those on the ground. Sophomore inside linebacker Beau Bates was credited with a personal-best (and UMD 2014 single-game high 13 total tackles), the last of which came on the final play of the day, while senior outside linebacker Gavin Brown had a hand in 12 stops in his final collegiate home appearance.“Our hats are off to Northwest Missouri State,” said UMD head coach

Curt Wiese, whose Bulldogs were ousted by the Bearcats in the second round of the NCAA II playoffs one year ago. “We knew we were in for a dog fight. Our kids believed they were ready to go and they had a great week of preparation. Our staff and our players deserve a tremendous amount of credit for what they just did.”

Maryville, Mo. - For the University of Minnesota Duluth it was a case of too little, too late Saturday afternoon in its NCAA Division II second-round playoff clash with Northwest Missouri State University. The No. 5 Bulldogs dug themselves a 31-0 third quarter hole and, despite a late

rally, wound up falling 45-21 to the No. 2 ranked Bearcats before a crowd of 4,514 in Maryville, Mo. UMD, appearing in the NCAA II postseason for a sixth straight year, finished the season 11-2 overall. The Bearcats, 12-0 on the year, will host St. Cloud State University next Saturday in the Super Region Three final. “We gave up a couple of big defensively and offensively we couldn’t stay on the

field,” said Bulldog head coach Curt Wiese. “Our third-execution was bad and not being able to run the ball effectively didn’t help us either.” Quarterback Trevor Adams threw for four touchdowns, including a pair to Clint

Utter, while helping Northwest Missouri State build a 31-0 lead through three quar-ters. The Bulldogs reeled off 21 points in the opening nine minutes of the fourth quarter, getting a one yard touchdown run from junior runnnig back Austin Sikor-ski, a 48-yard pick-six from senior inside linebacker Colby Ring, and a nine-yard scoring strike from freshman quarterback Drew Bauer to junior wide out Zach Zweifel. The interception return for a touchdown was the second of the year for Ring and the fourth by the Bulldogs, equaling a team record. Northwest Missouri State’s Brady Boiles put the game on ice and handed the Bulldogs only their six loss in 18 lifetime NCAA II playoff game by running for two short touchdowns in the final 3:31 of play. “We were able to put a couple of drives together in the fourth quarter and gain

a little bit of momentum,” said Wiese. “Unfortunately, it just wasn’t enough in the end.” The Bearcats, who came into the day with the eighth best defense in the NCAA

II (285.5 yards per game) held UMD to 260 total yards on the day -- its lowest out-put since Oct. 29, 2011 (242 yards in a 35-7 loss at St. Cloud State) -- and just 98 yards on the ground. That was 205 yards below the Bulldogs’ season average. Bauer rushed 20 times for a team-high 43 yards, with 33 of that total coming on

a fourth-quarter run, while Sikorski ground out 21 yards on 13 carries to conclude the year with the fifth-highest single-season rushing harvest in program history (1,260 yards). Bauer went 13-of-31 for 138 yards through the air with one intercep-tion and was sacked seven times. The game marked the end of the line for 20 UMD seniors, including senior of-

fensive tackle Tom Olson, who started in his 54th consecutive game (tying him with his former linemate Garth Heikkinen for the top spot on the school’s ironman charts) and also attempted, and completed his first collegiate pass, on a fake punt in the second quarter. “For the seniors, it’s been the best five years of our lives,” said Ring. “Obviously,

it would have been nice to go out with a national championship, but I have no regrets. I told our younger guys after the game to keep the tradition going here and never take anything for granted.”

2013 NCaa Division II playoff first roundDuluth, minn.

Saturday, November 23, 2013#14 emporia State 13 at #5 minnesota Duluth 55

Duluth, Minn. - The University of Minnesota Duluth’s ground-and-pound show put on perhaps its most impressive performance of the 2013 season Saturday afternoon -- and its defensive effort wasn’t too shabby, either. The Bulldogs rolled up nearly 500 rushing yards and held Emporia State University to its lowest total offense output of the season while cruising to a 55-13 home victory in the opening round of the NCAA II playoffs. With the win, UMD improves to 11-1 one on the year and will now pay a visit to the Maryville, Mo., next Saturday to take on the Super Region Three’s top-ranked club, Northwest Missouri State University. No. 5 UMD and the No. 14 Hornets entered the second quarter tied at 13-13

before the Bulldogs reeled off 42 unanswered points en route posting its most lopsided victory in 17 lifetime NCAA II playoff games. Red shirt freshman quar-terback Drew Bauer made his postseason debut a memorable one by rushing 14 times for a career-high 173 yards and four touchdowns. He bolted 55 yards into the end zone on the second play of the game for the first of those scores and added three more touchdowns in the second quarter to help give the Bulldogs a comfortable 41-13 lead at the break. Junior running back Austin Sikorski added 122 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries for his fifth 100-yard run game of the year (and third in a row). Steve Ierulli, one of 20 UMD seniors who were making what could be their final home appearance, scored on third-quarter runs of 60 and 5 yards to cap off the triumph. Defensively, the Bulldogs made it a long afternoon for Hornets -- especially

their quarterback, Corben Jones, who was thrust in his first collegiate starting as-signment due to an injury to record-setting regular Brent Wilson last week. UMD wound up sacking Jones seven times, which was one sack shy of the school single-game record, and also picked him off five times. Senior strong safety Travis Nordhus and sophomore cornerback Darion Fletcher, each had two interceptions. UMD held Emporia State (9-2) just 172 yards (341 yards below its per game aver-age this fall) including minus-2 via the rush. “I thought it was a good team victory for us -- both offensively and defensively,”

said first-year UMD head coach Curt Wiese. “To hold a talented offense like that to minus yards on the ground is really phenomenal. Drew Bauer and Austin Sikorski obviously played well and the guys on the perimeter, like the tight ends, did an outstanding job holding them out of the box.” The Bulldogs, who are in the NCAA playoffs for the sixth year in a row (and

have a 12-5 record to show for it), will carry a nine-game winning streak into the Thanksgiving weekend clash with Northwest Missouri State (11-0). The two clubs have met three times previously in the postseason-- 2002, 2008 and 2010. “We’ve had some great battles with them over the past 10 or so years,” said

Wiese, “And, we’re going to go down there and give them a battle again Saturday afternoon. Our guys are excited.”

Saturday, December 8, 2012#17 valdosta State 35 at #5 minnesota State 19

Mankato, Minn. - It was a promising start for Minnesota State in the NCAA DII Football Championship Semifinal game Saturday at Blakeslee Stadium against Valdosta State. The Mavericks jumped out to a 10-0 lead early in the second quar-ter, but it was all Valdosta from that point on. The Blazers outscored the Mavericks 35-9 the rest of the way as MSU’s historic season ended with a 35-19 defeat. MSU had a big advantage in time of possession in the first quarter holding the

ball for just over 11 minutes. Junior quarterback Jon Wolf was the catalyst espe-cially on a 14-play, 67-yard drive which led to a 29-yard field goal by junior kicker Sam Brockshus. Wolf finished the drive with 53 yards of rushing on the drive. Wolf rushed for 127 yards on the afternoon on 20 carries. He was 11 of 24

through the air for 195 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Mavericks didn’t to possess the ball long on their next scoring drive though.

Wolf began with a 25-yard rush to the Valdosta State 45 and then ran for 18 yards down to the 32 on a third-and-16. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty then moved MSU in the red zone. Two plays later, Wolf used his arm to get the Mavericks in the end zone when he

hit senior Adam Thielen for a 17-yard scoring strike to give MSU a 10-0 lead with 12:17 left in the second quarter. Thielen finished his final game as a Maverick with six catches for 128 yards,

marking his fourth 100-yard game of the season and the fifth of his career. From that point on, it was all VSU. The Blazers countered MSU’s score with a

10-play, 82-yard scoring drive culminating in an 8-yard Gerald Ford touchdown reception from Cayden Cochran. After holding MSU to a three-and-out, the Blazers found the end zone again

when Cochran hit Seantavious Jones in the back corner of the end zone giving Valdosta State a 14-10 lead late in the first half. Time of possession was reversed in the second quarter as the Blazers held the

ball for over 11 minutes. “I thought we did a great job of dominating time of possession and running the

football in that first quarter, but the second quarter was completely different,” said acting head coach Aaron Keen. “I thought their offense did a great job responding against the challenge we threw out.” Valdosta State used the momentum they had going into halftime and continued

in the opening drive of the second half as Cochran ended a 10-play, 75-yard drive with a five-yard touchdown run giving the Blazers a 21-10 lead. After a Brockshus 39-yard field goal closed the gap to 21-13, the Blazers opened

up the lead more when Cochran scored again, this time a yard out, giving Valdo-sta State a 28-13 lead early in the fourth quarter. The Mavericks showed no signs of quitting getting in the end zone quickly.

Sophomore Andy Pfeiffer rushed it in from a yard out which culminated a 6-play, 75-yard drive, taking 3:19 off the clock. Brockshus missed the extra point meaning the Mavericks still trailed by two scores, 28-19. MSU drove deep into Blazers territory on their next drive, but Brockshus missed

a 30-yard field goal wide left with 3:35 left. Austin Scott scored from 31 yards out on the next drive, putting the game out of

reach for the Mavericks. The loss ends the Mavericks season at 13-1 and one win away from playing in

the national championship game. “To even get to this point was unbelievable,” said Thielen. “We had bigger goals

than this, but we’re definitely happy with the way the season went. We’re excited the younger guys for next year and we’re excited for the coaches,

because they did a heck of a job this year.” (Text courtesy of MSU Sports Information)

2012 NCaa DII playoff Super region #3 Championshipmankato, minn.

Saturday, December 1, 2012#9 missouri western State 10 at #5 minnesota State 17

Mankato, Minn. – With the game tied at ten with 8:51 left in the game, Minne-sota State needed a clock-sustaining drive to put points on the board and they called on redshirt freshman running back Connor Thomas. He ended a 10-play, 80-yard drive with a 12-yard touchdown run that gave the

Mavericks a 17-10 victory over Missouri Western State in the NCAA Division II Football Championship Quarterfinal at Blakeslee Stadium. “I just took the field with confidence,” said Thomas about the game-winning

drive. “I knew we needed to get a score and it started with our o-line up front. I was feeling that cut-back really well and the receivers also made great blocks down field.” Thomas ran the ball seven times on the game-winning drive for 46 yards

culminating with the touchdown run. “I couldn’t have been more proud of our offense on that last drive, running that

ball down and score that touchdown was huge for program,” said acting head coach Aaron Keen. Thomas gained 159 yards on the ground on 19 attempts leading the 289-yard

ground attack for MSU Saturday afternoon. Jon Wolf gained 67 yards and a touchdown and Andy Pfeiffer added 47. The effort was the first-ever 100-yard output in Thomas’ career. Thomas was the key on MSU’s lone touchdown drive of the first half. As part

of a 5-play, 91-yard drive, he took a handoff from his own 15 and ran up the middle for a 52-yard gain to the Missouri Western State 33-yard line. A pair of Pfeiffer runs to them to the 20. Wolf then called his own number as he scam-pered down the left side for a 20-yard touchdown run giving the Mavericks a 10-3 lead early in the second quarter. Missouri Western State took the second half kickoff and scored quickly to tie

the game. Quarterback Travis Partridge took it in from 35 yards out to cap a 5-play, 62-yard drive. With the game tied going into the fourth quarter, MSU used ball control to

win the game. The Mavericks had the ball first in the quarter and used up five minutes of the clock before it ended with a Stephen Juergens interception for MWSU and returned it to his own 47. MSU’s defense held the Griffons to a three-and-out without giving up a yard and forced them to punt. The game-win-ning drive followed where the Mavericks used up five and a half minutes off the clock. MSU held the ball for 12 of the 15 minutes of the final quarter. Last week, the MSU defense picked off four Northwest Missouri State passes

in the double overtime victory. Today, they intercepted three more and they all came at opportune moments.

Nathan Hancock picked off a Partridge pass late in the first half in his own end to thwart a Griffons rally. Justin Otto had his second huge interception in as many weeks when he picked off a pass from his own 4-yard line stopping a MWSU go-ahead drive attempt in the third quarter. Following Thomas’ winning touchdown, Earl Brooks intercepted a desperation heave from Partridge out of the end zone, icing the win for the Mavericks. “Our defense is really relaxed,” said Brooks. “When our offense gives up the

ball, we’re going to stop them (other team) three-and-out or get a turnover and get them the ball back. We have confidence like that.” MSU’s defense held Harlon Hill finalist, Michael Hill, to 50 yards. The Maverick defense was paced by sophomore linebacker Kris Fleigle who

totaled nine stops. Brooks added eight stops while sophomore safety Nathan Hancock had six. MSU (13-0) moves on to the semifinals of the NCAA Division II Football

Championship where it will play Valdosta State, 48-26 winners over Carson-Newman. (Text courtesy of MSU Sports Information)

Saturday, November 17, 2012#7 minnesota Duluth 55 at #9 missouri western State 57

3oTSt. Joseph, Mo. - Minnesota Duluth fell 57-55 to Missouri Western in triple over-

time in the opening round of NCAA DII Super Region #3 Football playoffs. The two teams combined for over 1,100 yard of total offense in the game. Box Score For the remarkable career Chase Vogler has had at the University of Minnesota

Duluth, the way it ended Saturday afternoon was just plain heartbreaking. Vo-gler stumbled and fell as he rolled out on UMD’s two-point conversion in the third overtime, and watched as Missouri Western State University celebrated a 57-55 victory in the opening round of the NCAA Division II playoffs Saturday afternoon. Vogler, who finished his career with a staggering record of 46-6 (7-3 in the

NCAA II playoffs), set a single-game career high for total offense in his final colle-giate game. The second team All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference quar-terback accounted for 379 all-purpose yards (195 passing, 184 rushing) on his way to moving into fifth place among Bulldogs in career rushing yards. Typically dominant in the opening frame, UMD fell behind 7-0 early in the first

quarter on a 21-yard scoring strike by Missouri Western. The Bulldogs chipped away at the lead on a 27-yard field goal by freshman kicker Andrew Brees, which cut the lead to 7-3. The Griffons continued to move the ball and scored through the air once again (completing a 91-yard drive) on their next possession before a Brees’ second three-point try of the afternoon put the Bulldogs down 14-6 at the end of the first quarter. In 11 regular season games, UMD outscored the opposi-tion 132-20 in the first quarter and hadn’t allowed a point in the opening 15 minutes of play since surrendering a field goal in week three. The Bulldogs hit pay dirt for the first time on the afternoon five minutes into the

second quarter when Vogler slashed his way into the end zone from 15 yards out for his 16th rushing score of the season. UMD would take its first lead of the afternoon moments later when sophomore tailback Austin Sikorski darted up the middle for a 12-yard touchdown, giving the Bulldogs a 20-14 lead at the half. Missouri Western grabbed the lead right back on its opening possession of the

second half and tacked on a two-point conversion to put the hosts in front 21-20. The back-and-forth affair continued, with Vogler giving UMD the lead on a quar-terback sneak from a yard out. The Bulldogs carried a 28-21 lead into the fourth quarter, but surrendered a Griffin rushing touchdowns on both sides of a one-yard plunge to the end zone by Sikorski, creating a 35-35 deadlock in the latter portions of regulation. Vogler engineered a drive deep into Griffin territory in the final two minutes, but UMD was stopped inches short of a first down, turning the ball over and allowing Missouri Western to force overtime. The shootout carried on throughout the extra sessions, with both offenses

gaining the end zone in all three overtime periods. Sikorski capped all three ex-tra-session drives with rushing touchdowns, finishing the day with five scores on the ground. The Bulldogs racked up 608 yards of total offense on the afternoon, including 408 via the rush. Sikorski joined Vogler as the UMD’s second 100-yard rusher with 139 yards on 26 carries. Saturday marked the final appearance for 10 other Bulldog seniors in addition

to Vogler. Since this class first arrived on campus back in 2008, they have been part of the most prolific run in the 80-year history of Bulldog football. That run has included a 62-6 overall record, two NCAA Division II national championships, a record four straight NSIC titles (2008-11), two separate 17-game winning streaks, and five NCAA II playoff appearances.

Mankato, Minn. – Fifth-ranked Minnesota State led 13th-ranked Northwest Missouri State 21-0 at the half in its NCAA second round playoff game at Blakeslee Stadium Saturday. Little did anyone know that it would take until the second overtime session to decide a winner. Redshirt freshman defensive back Justin Otto intercepted a pass in the end

zone in the second overtime and junior kicker Sam Brockshus booted a 27-yard field goal as MSU won a thriller 38-35 over the Bearcats moving the Mavericks on to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II Football Championship. The Mavericks picked off Northwest Missouri State quarterback Trevor Ad-

ams three times in the first half which helped catapult MSU to the big halftime lead. The first interception came on the fourth play of the game when junior defensive back Robert Gunderson hauled in an interception on the 22-yard line of the Bearcats. Sophomore running back Andy Pfeiffer took it in from a yard out to give the Mavericks an early 7-0 lead. Pfeiffer led MSU’s ground attack by gaining 120 yards on 25 carries and two

scores. The team rushed for 236 yards with quarterback Jon Wolf rushing for 68 yards and a touchdown. Wolf was 10-for-19 through the air for 158 yards and two touchdowns. MSU went up 14-0 on the third play of the second quarter when Wolf rolled

out and found a sophomore H-Back Jeff Burns wide-open for a five-yard touch-down reception. Sophomore defensive tackle Bryan Keys intercepted a ball off a deflection at

the MSU 32-yard line which led to MSU’s next touchdown. The Mavericks took the ball and drove 68 yards on 14 plays culminating in a Wolf keeper from a yard out on fourth-and-goal to give MSU a 21-0 halftime lead. The second half was a complete reversal of the first. Northwest Missouri’s

Jayron Robinson blocked a Darin Howell punt and was recovered and returned by the Bearcats to the MSU 16. Billy Creason scored from nine yards out to pull them within 21-7 less than three minutes into the second half. On their next possession, Joel Gantz caught a five-yard pass from Adams for

a touchdown capping a seven-play, 63-yard drive to make it 21-14. MSU countered as sophomore wideout Keyvan Rudd hauled in a juggling

14-yard touchdown reception on the first play of the fourth quarter to put the Mavericks up 28-14. The Bearcats first drive of the fourth quarter turned out the same way as their

third quarter possessions ended, with a touchdown. They drove 75 yards in 13 plays culminating with a Tyler Shaw 17-yard touchdown reception from Adams. After holding MSU without a first down, Robinson broke through the MSU

line and blocked his second punt of the second half and was brought back to the MSU four-yard line. Jordan Simmons rushed it in on the next play tying the game at 28-28 with 7:11 to go. MSU was able to withstand a pair of Jon Wolf turnovers late in regulation and

the game went to overtime. The Mavericks got the ball first and drove the 25 yards on four plays with all

rushes ending with a Pfeiffer six-yard touchdown run. Northwest Missouri State scored quickly to counter as Simmons caught a

25-yard pass from Adams on their second play of overtime. The Bearcats lined up for the two-point conversion in an attempt to win, but after MSU called a time-out, they reconsidered and kicked the extra point to tie it. Otto picked a good time for his first career interception picking off an Adams

pass in the end zone on the Bearcats double overtime possession. MSU then drove down to the ten and called on Brockshus on third down to kick the game winner. For acting head coach Aaron Keen, the way his players were able to withstand

Northwest Missouri State’s rally and come away with the victory is extraordinary. The win advances the Mavericks to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II

Football Championship where they will host Missouri Western State next Satur-day at noon at historic Blakeslee Stadium.

Saturday, November 26, 2011#9 minnesota Duluth 24 at #1 CSU-pueblo 21

Pueblo, Colo. - For the second time in school history, the Minnesota Du-luth Bulldogs went on the road and walked away with a win over a num-ber one squad, this time against Colorado State University-Pueblo, by a score of 24-21 in an back-and-forth NCAA Division II Playoff match.Facing howling winds that exceeded 30 miles per hour, in addition to

a large crowd of CSU-Pueblo faithful, the Bulldogs relied on their formi-dable multi-pronged running attack to outgain Pueblo 287-224 in terms of total yardage. Lining up across from a Thunderwolves defensive unit that had been conceding an NCAA Division II low 9.1 points per game to its foes, it was the defense of the Bulldogs that eventually evolved into one of the major storylines of the day. UMD assaulted the offensive line of CSU-Pueblo all afternoon and finished the game with a season-high five sacks including one on every Thunderwolves fourth quarter possession.Receiving the opening kickoff, CSU-Pueblo embarked on an 11-play

drive that covered 80 yards culminating with a 14-yard scamper by Mathews to take an early lead in front or a partisan crowd of 10,151.Although they picked up just one first down in their first two possessions,

the Bulldogs cut into the lead with a 46-yard field goal from David Nadeau on their second drive in the opening quarter after a woeful five yard punt from the Thunderwolves.UMD would take the lead for the first time on a drive that featured a 25-

yard run by senior tailback Zach Hulce before Chase Vogler fired a 14-yard touchdown strike to Joe Reichert on the first play in the second quarter.A Bulldog fumble – one of two turnovers in the game for UMD - resulted

in a Thunderwolves touchdown, putting UMD down 14-10 at the half. The Bulldogs responded by marching 67 yards on 15 plays to open the third quarter, capping a scoring drive with a one-yard touchdown run by Hulce.Calling on all of their previous championship experience, the Bulldogs

ratcheted up their defensive intensity in the deciding half, allowing a paltry 70 yards of offense on four possessions for the Thunderwolves.Despite the defensive damage being wrought by UMD, the Thunderwolves

would locate the endzone one last time with an 80-yard drive that conclud-ed with an 18-yard run to regain the momentum with a 21-17 score.Jubilation disguised itself as disaster to begin the Bulldogs’ game-win-

ning drive when Vogler rattled off the longest play from scrimmage for UMD with a 31-yard scramble down to the CSU-Pueblo 14 yard line. The quarterback fumbled the ball, but it was recovered at the nine yard line by wide receiver Reichert. From there, senior tailback Brian Lucas put the final touchdown on the board with a one-yard plunge. Nadeau split the uprights to make it a 24-21 game.The Bulldogs let their defense put the exclamation point on their victory,

bamboozling the Thunderwolves during their final two drives. The home squad could not solve the UMD defense that sparkled in crunch time, getting sacks from Blake Rogers and Wade Sebold to hold CSU-Pueblo to -10 yards during the span.Vogler accounted for 183 yards of offense, amassing 60 on the ground

as well as 83 through the air. Hulce picked up a game-high 84 rushing yards while Lucas added 62 for the Bulldogs.UMD will play at home next Saturday against Wayne State University,

the sixth seed in Super Region Three. The Warriors, out of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, upset Nebraska-Kearney 38-26 earlier in the day to punch their ticket to Duluth.

Duluth, Minn. - Wayne State University (Mich.) fought off a furious comeback effort by the University of Minnesota Duluth to hold on for a 31-25 win in the NCAA II playoff quarterfinals. The defending NCAA II champion Bulldogs had come out on top in each of their previous 14 tries at home, dating back to a 2009 quarterfinal loss to Grand Valley State.UMD struck first on in its initial possession, marching 35 yards on 12

plays before three-time All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference se-nior placekicker David Nadeau nailed 39-yard field goal to put UMD in front for the only time the entire day.The remainder of the first half served as a defensive battle, and a touch-

down reception by Wayne State’s Troy Burrell put the Warriors ahead by a 7-3 margin at the break. Wayne State combined for 66 yards of offense in the first half, compared to the 126 yards amassed by the Bulldogs (11-3 overall).The Warriors opened the second half with a 60-yard scoring drive, ex-

tending its lead to 14-3. After Nadeau’s kickoff sailed out of bounds, the Warriors strung together 14 plays and took over eight minutes off the clock, capping the drive with a one-yard scoring run by Chet Privett.UMD responded immediately as D.J. Winfield brought back the ensuing

kick off 87 yards for a score -- a career long and and the third touchdown return of his career. The senior from Mount Iron, Minn., who was mak-ing his first appearance of the season, finished as the Bulldogs’ leading receiver with 101 yards on six catches.A Wayne State field goal put the Warriors ahead 24-11 at the end of the

third quarter, setting the Bulldogs up for another come-from-behind rally. A 22-yard scoring run by freshman tailback Brian Lucas moved UMD to within striking distance, but the Warriors answered again with a rushing score of their own with just under 10 minutes remaining in regulation.The Bulldogs pulled to within six points at the 6:29 mark when true

freshman wideout Aaron Roth hauled down a highlight reel catch in the end zone on an 11-yard pass from junior quarterback Chase Vogler. Roth went up for a jump-ball and had to fight off a defender while making the catch and keeping a foot in bounds, which he did for his third receiving touchdown of the season.The UMD defense then forced Wayne State (11-3) to punt, giving Vo-

gler and the offense one last chance to extend its season. The Bulldogs marched as far as midfield, but had a hail mary pass attempt was batted down in the end zone as time expired.“Wayne State did a good job getting after us,” said Vogler, who was

sacked a season-high five times -- all in the first half -- and wound up completing 16 of 28 passes for 202 yards. “They scouted us well.”The game was a bit of tale of two halves -- the Bulldogs owned a sub-

stantial advantage in time of possession (20:36 to 9:24), first downs (12 to 4) and total plays (41 to 18) and total offense (126 to 64) in the opening 30 minutes while the the Warriors turned the tables in the second half in those same categories (22:31 to 7:29 in time of possession; 12 to 10 in first downs; 44 to 26 in total plays; and 229 to 174). UMD ran just plays from scrimmage during the entire third quarter.The Bulldogs held Wayne State to just 103 yards on the ground, but

turned the ball over three times (two fumbles and one interception) versus none for the Warriors.“We knew if was going to be a battle the whole game and on defense

it would be a grind,” said senior outside linebacker Derrick Zappa, who paced the Bulldogs with 10 total tackles, including a pair of sacks. “We did our best to shut them down the best we could.”Saturday marked the final appearance for 13 Bulldog seniors, who col-

lectivley rolled up a 52-5 overall record, won two NCAA II national titles and four straight Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference crowns, made four consecutive NCAA II playoff appearances and pieced together two separate 17-game winning streaks.

Saturday, November 19, 2011Saginaw valley State 27 at #9 minnesota Duluth 30 oT

Duluth, Minn. - University of Minnesota Duluth senior running back Zach Hulce and junor quarterback Chase Vogler each ran for a pair of touchdowns to lead the ground-happy Bulldogs to 30-27 overtime victory over Saginaw Valley State University in the opening round of the NCAA II playoffs at Malosky Stadium. The defending NCAA II national champions used a punishing running attack -- they rolled up 260 yards on carries -- and a couple of critical defensive stops to move on to next Saturday’s second round matchup at No. 1 ranked and undefeated Colorado State University-Pueblo. Saginaw Valley (7-4-0 overall), did almost of its offensive damage through the air, amassing 344 yards compared to just 34 via the rush. In the first-ever meeting between the two clubs, UMD (10-2) drew first blood on

a nine-yard touchdown run by Vogler in the opening quarter. The Cardinals (6-4) answered with a 76-yard scoring strike from Jon Jennigns to Jeff Jannis -- the longest play from scrimmage by a Bulldog opponent this season -- to draw even.Hulce put the Bulldogs back on top with a 10-yard scoring run nine minutes into

the second quarter. UMD stretched its lead to 17-7 with four seconds to go before halftime on a clutch 40-yard field goal by three-time All-Northern Sun Intercol-legiate Conference placekicker David Nadeau.Saginaw Valley State, a member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Con-

ference and the Super Region Three’s No. 5 seed, took its only lead of the game at 21-17 early in the fourth quarter on Jannis’ third receiving score of the day before Hulce responded with a 22-yard touchdown run. Down by three with just over a minute to play, the Cardinals strung together an impressive drive, but were ulti-mately forced to kick a game tying 42-yard field goal with two seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime.After surrendering a quick first down, the Bulldog defense regrouped in overtime,

holding the Cardinals to a field goal. That was enough for the UMD offense, which set itself up with first and goal from the one after a 23-yard completion from Vogler to freshman wideout Aaron Roth on the second play of overtime. Vogler punched it in on a quarterback sneak on the ensuing play, giving the Bulldogs the victory -- their 14th straight at home and third in three lifetime NCAA II playoff games -- in walk-off fashion.

2010 NCaa Division II playoff Second roundDuluth, minn.

Saturday, November 27, 2010#15 St. Cloud State 17 at #1 minnesota Duluth 20 oT

Duluth, Minn. - The University of Minnesota Duluth earned its third NCAA Division II quarterfinal berth in as many years by pulling out a 20-17 overtime victory over St. Cloud State University Saturday afternoon in a manner which could hardly be viewed as ordinary. The Bulldogs, one of just two unbeaten NCAA II clubs remaining in the country, got a 19-yard field goal by David Nadeau as time expired in regulation to force the extra session and a 24-yarder from their junior placekicker on their first possession of overtime. UMD sealed the victory, its seventh straight against the Huskies and 39th in its last 41 games overall, four plays later when Tyler Aldridge’s three-point attempt sailed wide left.

The No. 1-ranked and three-time defending NSIC champion Bulldogs improve to 12-0 on the year and will host league rival Augustana College next Saturday in the NCAA II Super Region 3 finals. St. Cloud State, which is also a member of the NSIC, finished with a 10-3 mark with two of those losses coming at the hands of UMD (including a 40-17 decision one month ago in Duluth).

“This was one of those character wins,” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson. “We kept on battling and found a way to win. We didn’t start the game well on either side of the foot-ball, and maybe were a little out of sync -- perhaps because we made it out on the field to practice once all week. But right now, we are excited about the chance to keep playing.”

The Bulldogs could have found themselves in a deep hole early, but thanks to some costly penalties in the red zone by the Huskies and a couple of missed fields, trailed just 7-0 after the first quarter. Sophomore quarterback Chase Vogler raced 31 yards for a touchdown with 3:25 to go in the half to draw draw UMD even and senior running back Brian Hanson gave the Bulldogs its last lead of regulation (14-7) at the 3:55 mark of the third quarter when he scored on a 13-yard run. Hanson’s touchdown, his personal-high sixth of the season, capped off four-play, 44-yard drive which was set up by junior Cody Eich’s block of a Husky punt. St. Cloud State went up 17-14 in the fourth quarter on a 40-yard field goal by Aldridge and a two-yard run from quarterback Phillip Klaphake and appeared to have sealed its third NCAA II playoff win ever after Marvin Matthews inter-cepted junior wide out D.J. Winfield’s option pass in the Bulldog endzone with just 1:50 to play. The Huskies, however, went three and out and, following a partially blocked punt, UMD proceeded to march 38 yards in 48 seconds before Nadeau’s clutch kick.

UMD, which came into the afternoon averaging a NCAA II-leading 46.1 points per game, outgained its longtime intrastate rivals in total offense by a 359-264 margin, but amassed 227 yards on the ground to just 88 for St. Cloud State. Vogler rushed for a career-high 109 yards on 18 carries and also completed 12 of 16 passes for another 132 yards while throwing just his second interception in 167 attempts this season.


2010 NCaa Division II playoff Second roundSioux falls, S.D.

Saturday, November 27, 2010#6 Grand valley State 6 at #9 augustana College 38

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Augustana forced six Grand Valley State turnovers and scored 31 straight points to open the game to pick up a 38-6 victory over the Lakers in the second round of the NCAA Playoffs Saturday afternoon in Sioux Falls.

The win is the first playoff victory for Augustana in school history, which improves to 11-1. The No. 9 Vikings now move onto the quarterfinals next Saturday, where they will play at No. 1 Minnesota Duluth.

GVSU, which was making its 15th overall and 10th straight in the NCAA playoffs, finishes its season with a record of 11-2.

The Viking defense was stellar throughout. Though Augustana allowed more than 300 yards of total offense, the defensive unit didn’t allow a touchdown all afternoon. The Lakers’ one score came on an 87-yard kick return in the third quarter.

As they have all season, the linebacker trio of Andrew Keel, Chris Janisch and Ryan Isaacson anchored the defense. The three accounted for two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and an interception. The Vikings had a total of four interceptions in the win--one of which Eric Bergman returned for a touchdown. The other three were grabbed by Keel, Dan O’Keefe and Zac Kallas.

Augustana also got a three-touchdown performance from Tyler Schulte. His three touchdown receptions put his total for the season at 17 and set a new single-season record, passing Matt Holmlunds 16 touchdown grabs in 2000.

Joe Clark also collected 117 yards on the ground. The performance allowed the senior to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark for the third consecutive season.

Josh Hanson returned to the lineup after missing the past two games with an injury. He ran for 82 yards and passed for another 87 and three touchdowns.

Augustana played its best first half of the season, forcing three GVSU turnovers and rattling off 24 points and holding a normally potent Laker offense scoreless.

Drew Behrens got the Viking on the board on its second drive of the game, hitting a 40-yard field goal. But it was Andrew Keel and Dan O’Keefe who set up the drive on GVSU’s prior possession. The linebacker duo teamed up to force and recover a fumble by Laker quarterback Kyle McMahon, giving the Vikings the ball at the GVSU 40-yard line.

The defense again delivered on the ensuing Laker possession. Faced with fourt-and-two situation, the Lakers botched their punt snap, allowing Nick Andreas to block the attempt and setting up the Vikings at the Laker 28-yard line.

The Vikings needed just three plays to convert it into a score as Hanson found Schulte on a 14-yard strike to put Augustana up 10-0 just before the end of the first quarter.

Another defensive stand forced the Lakers to punt on their next series, and the Vikings again capitalized.

Behind 57 yards on the ground from Clark, Augustana marched 97 yards in eight plays—a drive capped by Hanson to Schulte connected in the left corner of the endzone to give Augustana a 17-0 advantage.

Augustana’s defense continued to work like a well-oiled machine. On GVSU’s series following the Viking touchdown, Isaacson forced another Laker fumble—this one pounced on by Keel. Though the Vikings were forced to punt on the subsequent possession, it did allow Augustana to pin the Lakers deep at their own 2-yard line.

Four plays later, it was Eric Bergman made yet another huge defensive play, picking off McMahon and returning the interception 25 yards to give Augustana a 24-0 lead with 1:22 left in the first half.

The Augustana defense continued to shine in the second half. An interception by O’Keefe on GVSU’s second drive of the half led to another Schulte touchdown catch—his third of the game—with 5:20 left in the third quarter.

GVSU’s Chris Crawford managed to return the subsequent kickoff 87 yards, but Luke Briggs’ extra point attempt was swatted by Bergman to keep it a 31-6 game.

Kallas’ interception early in the fourth quarter set up Augustana’s final touchdown of the game. His pick set up the Vikings at the GVSU 13-yard line, and two plays later, Clark scampered in from 13 yards to close scoring with 12:36 remaining.

Keel intercepted McMahon a final time in the’s final eight minutes to ensure a six-point outing by the Laker’s. (Text courtesy of Augie Sports Information)

2010 NCaa Division II National Championshipflorence, alabama

Saturday, December 18, 2010

#1 minnesota Duluth 20, Delta State 17

Florence, Ala. (Braly Stadium) - #1 Minnesota Duluth’s (15-0) David Nadeau kicked a 32-yard field goal as time expired to defeat Delta State (11-4) 20-17 in the NCAA DII Football National Championship. The National Title is the second for the Bulldogs in the last three years when they also went 15-0.

“When it came off of my foot, I knew it would be close,” said Nadeau. “It wasn’t the best kick I ever hit before by any means, but when I saw it going up, I knew then it was going in so I just turned around and ran,” said Nadeau about the game winning kick.

With the win, No. 1 UMD not only takes home a second national championship (only seven other schools have claimed multiple titles) but became the first NCAA II club ever to go 15-0 in a season more than once, duplicating the mark turned in by the 2008 Bulldogs on their way to the school’s first NCAA II crown of any kind. Unranked Delta State, which like the Bulldogs were making their second title game appearance, concluded the year at 11-4.

“What a great game,” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson. “It was one of those days when both teams had an opportunity to win and it could have gone either way. We just kept plugging away and believing and when you do that, good things usually happen.”

UMD, which was meeting Delta State for the first time ever, struck first by getting a 32-yard field goal from Nadeau four minutes in, eight plays after junior Zach Hulce brought back the opening kickoff 47 yards on his first return as a Bulldog. Freshman Joe Reichert recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff at the Delta State 34-yard line, but UMD was unable to capitalize -- instead giving the ball back to the Statesmen deep in Bulldog territory after Alex Miller’s punt was blocked (for the first time this season) following a muffed snap and returned to the UMD 11. Three snaps later, Micah Davis and Maurice Moore hooked up on an eight-yard scoring strike to give the Statesmen a 7-3 lead. The Bulldogs answered right back on their next series as junior quarterback Chase Vogler found a wide open Ben Helmer in the end zone from 14 yards out to cap a nine-play, 76-yard drive and put the Bulldogs back on top by three. One possession after the Statesmen were snuffed by the Bulldogs on a fourth-and-goal situation at the UMD two, Davis hit Chance Davis with a 16-yard touchdown pass and Delta State went into the half up 14-10.

The Bulldogs, who turned in another key defensive stand midway through the third quarter, stopping Delta State for no gain on fourth down and two from the UMD six, regained the lead with 8:20 to go in regulation when senior running back Brad Foss rumbled 12 yards and his 12th touchdown of the season, the final one of his career. Delta State forced a tie at the 2:22 mark of the fourth quarter on Matt Snyder’s 27-yard field goal after they were unable to punch the ball in on three tries from within the Bulldog two-yard line. It was another example of the bend-but-don’t break defense which has been a trademark of UMD all season long.

“I thought we executed extremely well in the red zone today, particularly in third and fourth down situations,” said Nielson, whose Bulldogs are a staggering 43-2 over their last 45 games. “We got some penetration in some critical times when we needed to. But that’s the way the game was -- one play could make the difference.”

Senior running back and 2010 playoff run star Brian Hanson closed out his collegiate career by rushing for a game-high 99 yard on 16 carries while Vogler rushed 21 times for another 83 yards. In addition, the All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference North Division signal caller completed 11 of 19 passes for 118 yards with no interceptions. His favorite target was Hansen, who had three receptions after coming into the day with just five catches all year.

On the other side of the football, sophomore free safety Cameron Harper spearheaded a Bulldog defensive unit which also forced four turnovers (three fumbles and an interception), finishing the afternoon with 17 total tackles, which was one shy of the school mark. All-American Kiel Fechtelkot-ter was credited with 14 sotps while fellow senior inside linebacker Robbie Aurich figured in on 10 tackles. Fechtelkotter and Aurich were the only two active Bulldogs who started in the 2008 title tilt.

“That 2008 team was, as a whole, older than this one, mainly because we had more seniors,” said Nielson. “But yet, they are a lot alike. They both had a lot of fun together and believed in each other. When David went out there for that final field goal everyone believed in him. When it was fourth and one, everyone believed that our defense could stop them and when we needed a big play to put us in field goal range at the end. Everyone believed the offense could do it. Most importantly, everyone believed from our first day of practice that we could be national champions and here we are.”

2010 NCAA Division II Playoff SemifinalsDuluth, minn.

Saturday, December 11, 2010#3 Northwest missouri State 13 at #1 minnesota Duluth 17

Duluth, Minn. - #1 Minnesota Duluth battled gusty winds and frigid temperatures (which reached -14 wind chill) with a punishing running attack and some key defensive stops in defeating Northwest Missouri State University 17-13 in the semifinal round of the NCAA II playoffs. With the win, UMD advances to next Saturday’s NCAA II championship in Florence, Ala., where it will meet Delta State University, a 29-17 winner over Shepherd University.

UMD rushed 56 times for 226 yards and got a pair of second-half touchdowns from senior running back Brian Hanson and sophomore quarterback Chase Vogler while hold-ing the defending NCAA II champion Bearcats to their second lowest scoring output of the season. Northwest Missouri State, which came into the day riding a 12-game winning streak and was making its sixth straight NCAA II semifinal appearance (it has won the previous five), finished with a 12-2 overall record.

“We are a ground-pound team, and our boys up front, I have to give them all the credit again,” said Hanson. “They made their blocks, opened holes, and I just had to hit them.”

Vogler paced all Bulldog ground gainers with 101 yards on 18 carries, the most crucial of which came with 4:12 remaining in the fourth quarter when he scrambled 34 yards for the go-ahead touchdown on a fourth-and-three situation. That capped off a 13-play, 80-yard drive which consumed nearly half a quarter (7:21) and gave UMD its only lead of the game. Northwest Missouri State sandwiched a pair of Jordan Simmons’ touchdowns (a 14-yard pass from Blake Bolles and a one-yard run) around a 27-yard field goal from ju-nior placekicker David Nadeau to take a 13-3 advantage late into the third quarter before Hanson’s four-yard scoring jaunt ignited the UMD comeback. Hanson wound up with 72 yards on 19 attempts -- one week after scorching Augustana College for 124 yards in the NCAA II quarterfinals.

Despite the adverse conditions, Bolles still managed to go 19-for-29 in the air for 141 yards but was intercepted three times -- twice by junior strong safety Cody Eich and once by sophomore free safety Cameron Harper on the Bearcats’ final series of the night. UMD limited Northwest Missouri State to just 108 yards rushing with senior inside line-backer Kiel Fechtelkotter (nine total tackles), Harper (eight) and senior right cornerback Forest Clements (eight) leading the charge. The Bearcats also converted just three of their 11 third down conversions (UMD’s playoffs opponents are now a mere 6-of-36 in that department).

Saturday’s game marked the first NCAA II semifinal the Bulldogs have ever hosted and the latest in the season they’ve played at home. For those 3,627 who braved the elements at Malosky Stadium, it was all worth it.

“We are certainly very happy about the win, and what makes it that much more re-warding when it comes against a team and program with the kind of class and tradition that Northwest Missouri has,” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson, whose Bulldogs are 14-0 on the season and 41-2 in their last 43 outings. “It certainly makes the win mean that much more, and I couldn’t be more proud of our guys.”

UMD is now 8-3 all-time in NCAA II postseason play with two of those victories com-ing in overtime (the Bulldogs defeated Grand Valley State 19-13 in two extra periods on its way to the 2008 NCAA II national title and St. Cloud State in the second round this season 20-17.


2010 NCAA Division II Playoff QuarterfinalsDuluth, minn.

Saturday, December 4, 2010#9 augustana College 13 at #1 minnesota Duluth 24

Duluth, Minn. - #1 University of Minnesota Duluth kept its unblemished record intact and its national title hopes alive Saturday with a 24-13 win over #9 Augustana College in the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. The Bulldogs will advance to the National Semifinals next Saturday against Northwest Missouri State at 5:00 pm in Duluth, Minn.

Despite playing without a pair of offensive starters -- three-time All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference wide out D.J. Winfield and senior tight end Ryan Hayes -- both suspended for team rule violations, the No. 1-ranked Bulldogs still gutted out a 24-13 victory over their NSIC rivals, implementing an obstinate rushing attack reminiscent of the Jim Malosky-era of UMD football.

With the win, its school-record seventh at home this season and 13th overall against no losses, UMD advances to next Saturday’s NCAA II semIfinals where it will face Northwest Missouri State University in a rematch of the 2008 national championship.

It was a savage bulldozing, fully decisive and devoid of elegance. UMD amassed 247 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on 61 carries, throwing the ball just nine times in the program’s first-ever December engagement at James S. Malosky Stadium. Senior running back Brian Hanson paced the ground-pounding attack with 124 yards (on a Bulldog season-high 25 carries) but there was plenty for everyone as sophomore quarterback Chase Vogler and senior running back Brad Foss combined for 126 more yards on the ground behind the driving blocks of UMD’s offensive line.

The UMD defense was just as feral, limiting No. 9 Augustana to just 180 yards of total offense – a Vikings’ season low – while sacking sophomore quarterback Josh Hanson four times. Junior outside linebacker Derrick Zappa led the hit parade with six tackles, including three for a loss. Senior nose tackle Jim Kunz was dominant, too, registering five tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Kunz paced a UMD defensive line effort that senior inside linebacker Robbie Aurich praised specifically at the post-game press conference, noting their performance as a game-changer. Augustana’s Hanson echoed Aurich’s sentiments, calling UMD “definitely the most physical defense we’ve seen this year.”

That physicality was on full display late in the first half when Augustana chose to attack through the air into a stiff wind with just over one minute remaining. Following two incomplete passes on their own 37-yard line, the second of which was nearly ruled intentional grounding, the Vikings again chose to pass rather than drain the clock and UMD’s timeout cache with a run. This time, Kunz burst through the A-gap, collapsing the pocket around Hanson who fumbled. Aurich scooped the loose ball and skated into the end zone for a Bulldog touchdown. Augustana would never completely recover.

Not that UMD wouldn’t have felt confident at halftime without the scoop-and-score. The bruising first and second quarter had already produced a 204-86 edge in total offense, buoyed by 165 yards on the ground. Somewhat surprisingly, based on those numbers, things looked promising for Augustana (11-2 overall) after the game’s opening moments when Vikings cornerback Zac Kallas intercepted Vogler on the game’s second play. Hanson and Tyler Schulte promptly connected on a 34-yard touchdown pass to give Augustana a 6-0 lead. But then sophomore kicker Drew Behrens missed the extra point and UMD seized a bit of momentum, embarking on an 11-play, 62-yard touchdown drive capped by Hanson’s scoring plunge to assume a 7-6 lead. The Bulldogs rushed on every play of the drive, gouging Augustana’s line and foreshadowing the day’s theme.

2010 NCaa Division II playoff first roundSt. Cloud, minn.

Saturday, November 20, 2010#10 hillsdale 28 at #15 St. Cloud State 42

St. Cloud, Minn. - For just the second time in school history the No. 15 ranked St. Cloud State football team earned a NCAA Division II playoff game win with a 42-28 vic-tory over No. 10 Hillsdale College Saturday afternoon at Husky Stadium. The Huskies will move on to play No. 1 Minnesota Duluth next Saturday afternoon for the second game between both squads this season and the second round of the NCAA super region three tournament.

St. Cloud State’s offense went off for 485 yards to improve to 10-2 with the win, which ties the 1989 squad for most wins in a season. The Huskies will likely finish the season 6-0 at home and have not loss at Husky Stadium since the opening game of the 2009 season.

“We are proud of our kids offensively and defensively sticking to the game plan and we did a good job of finding a way to win,” said head coach Scott Underwood after the big win.

It took just two plays for the Huskies to get on the board after a 71-yard throw and catch from redshirt freshman quarterback Phillip Klaphake (Princeton) to senior Fred Wil-liams (Milwaukee, Wis.), set up senior Dante Steward (Milwaukee, Wis.) for a three yard run to make it 7-0, just 29 seconds into the game.

Steward, who has not played since Oct. 16 against Southwest Minnesota State, car-ried the ball 29 times for 153 yards and four touchdowns to spark the team to a 255 yard rushing day.

Then after a defensive stop on Hillsdale’s first drive, the Huskies put together a me-thodical 15-play, 80-yard drive that culminated with a one-yard run for Steward’s second touchdown run of the game to make it 14-0 with four minutes to go in the first quarter.

The Chargers then got on the board in back-to-back possessions in the second quar-ter with their first score coming on an 18-yard throw from senior Troy Weatherhead to senior Andre Holmes. Both players then hooked up again on a seven yard throw to tie the game at 14-14 with 1:14 to go in the half. Weatherhead finished the game going 37 for 52 for 400 yards and four touchdowns through the air.

The Huskies quickly answered with the final score of the half with an efficient seven play 59-yard drive that was capped off by a 30-yard throw to Williams who made a one handed snag at the three yard line before falling backwards into the end zone to take a 21-14 lead into halftime.

“I just focused on the ball. I didn’t think he was going to throw it that far and I just stuck my paw out there and it stuck to my glove,” said Williams of his one handed catch.

Williams finished the half with nine catches for 171 yards and a score and finished the game tying his own school record with 236 yards receiving on 13 carries.

Hillsdale came out of halftime and tied the game up again just 2:24 into the third quar-ter with a 13-yard screen pass from Weatherhead to junior Brad Spencer in their first possession of the half.

St. Cloud State again answered with a 13-play scoring drive to take 28-21 lead as Klaphake scored on a three-yard bootleg with seven minutes to go in the third.

The Huskies then stopped the Chargers on their next possession and capitalized on it with a one-yard run by Steward for his third score of the game to make it 35-21 heading into the fourth quarter.

The Chargers answered with a score at 3:53 mark on four-yard throw to Spencer to make it 35-28. Hillsdale then tried an onside kick, but once again the sure hands of Williams helped secure the possession and the game, as Steward scored his fourth touchdown of the day on a 22-yard scamper on the ensuing drive to put the game out of reach.

Klaphake who was not sacked in the game, finished the game 14-of-22 for 252 yards and a touchdown through the air, while rushing 17 times for 83 yards and a score on the ground.

Sophomore Marvin Matthews (Roseville) had a huge game defensively from his defensive back position, making a team high 10 solo tackles, while breaking up three passes for a defense that had 18 players record a tackle.

The Husky defense also had three sacks in the game, while holding the Charger to just 50 yards on the ground.

Hillsdale’s Mark Petro connected on a 34-yard field goal to propel the 15th-ranked and sixth-seeded Chargers to a 27-24 overtime victory over eighth-ranked and third-seeded Minnesota State Saturday afternoon in the opening round of the 209 NCAA Division II Playoffs. The game was the first-ever playoff game in Blakeslee Stadium history and was witnessed by 1,617 fans.

Trailing 24-17 with two minutes and 35 seconds remaining in regulation Minnesota State started its game-tying drive on its own 25-yardline after a Hillsdale punt.

Senior quarterback Ryan Fick – who made his first start since Sept. 5 – started the drive by completing a 19-yard pass to senior wideout Vincent Flury. The Fick-to-Flury connection would happen on MSU’s next three passing plays as the combo covered 53 yards on the drive. Facing a 1st –and-10 on Hillsdale 22, Fick found junior wideout Omaar Balton for a 22-yard scoring strike. Freshman kicker Sam Brockshus added the extra point and the game was tied with 38 seconds remaining.

Hillsdale won the toss to start overtime and elected to play defense. After a per-sonal foul gave Minnesota State a 1st-and-25 from the Hillsdale 40, Fick connected with redshirt-freshman Adam Thielen on an inside slant pattern. Hillsdale cornerback Lance Smith knocked the ball free from Thielen and linebacker Joe Stempien recovered it to give the Chargers possession and set up Petro’s heroics.

The Mavericks opened the game with an 8-play, 80-yard drive capped by a 14-yard touch-down by redshirt-freshman Jake Abergas he ran along the right side. Brockshus added the extra point and MSU raced to a 7-0 lead with 10:29 remaining in the opening quarter.

The touchdown was set up on a fake punt by the Mavericks on fourth-and-two that saw senior running back Ernest Walker pick up 30 yards.

The Chargers answered on its ensuing drive as they used nine plays to cover 80 yards with senior H-back Bill Kanitz punching in a one-yard touchdown run. The extra point was good and the game was tied at seven with 5:22 remaining in the first quarter.

Minnesota State continued its scoring trend on its second drive of the game as Fick found Flurry in the left side of the endzone for a 21-yard scoring strike, capping a 10-play, 64-yard drive. Brockshus added the extra point and MSU led 14-7 at the 14:55 mark of the first half.

Hillsdale again answered the call on its second drive as it put together a 12-play, 73-yard drive which chewed up 7:01 as Kanitz again punched a one-yard run. Petro added the extra point and the game was again tied, 14-14, with 7:48 remaining in the opening half.

After both teams traded punts, MSU started a drive on its own 36-yardline with 3:50 remaining in the first half. Aberg ran around the right side for a 26-yard gain on the first play as MSU entered Hillsdale territory for the third time. Fick then found senior wideout Chris Nowlinfor a 15-yard gain to enter field goal territory.

After an incomplete pass and a sack, Minnesota State sent on Brockshus to attempt a 42-yard field goal to end the half and the freshman’s kick was true as the Mavericks took a 17-14 lead at the break.

The Chargers scored on the opening drive of the third quarter as Vinnie Panizzi capped a 12-play, 81-yard drive that used 6:02 off the clock. The touchdown was set up when quarterback Troy Weatherhead found Andrew Holmes for a 27-yard completion on third and six.

After each team traded possessions, Minnesota State used a 10-yard run on fourth and one from senior running back Ernest Walker to reach midfield and keep the drive alive.

Three players later, on third-and-12, Hillsdale defensive lineman Jordan Knudsen picked off an errant Fick pass and returned it to the Minnesota State 35 giving the Char-gers excellent field position.

Petro then booted a 20-yard field goal to cap a seven-play, 32-yard drive that used 3:08 and gave the Chargers a 24-17 lead with 12:38 remaining in the game.

Statistically the game was even as Minnesota State ran 66 plays for 378 yards while the Chargers ran 63 plays for 370 yards. Minnesota State rushed 40 times for 241 yards while the Maverick defense held the Chargers to 31 carries for 112 yards. Hillsdale owned a slight edge in the time of possession, 30:23-29:37.

Aberg led all rushers with 22 carries for 168 yards and a touchdown, averaging 7.6 yards per carry. Fick finished the game completing 11-of-25 passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns. Flury led all receivers with six catches for 98 yards and a score.

Defensively, sophomore defensive back Jesse Hamilton led Minnesota State with 14 tackles – eight of which were solo. He also had an interception, a pass break-up and a blocked punt. Junior linebacker Matt McQuiston added 11 tackles in the loss. Linebacker David Bakker, safety Joe Vear and linebacker Marcellus Wade all had 10 stops for the Chargers.

Hamilton’s interception was his eighth of his career moving into a tie for first on the school’s single-season chart, joining Bernie Mazuga (1967), Harold Wellman (1967) and Marty Kranz for the school record with seven

Minnesota State ends its 2009 season with a 10-2 record, while Hillsdale im-proves to 10-2. The Chargers travel to Grand Valley State next week to continue action in the playoffs. (Text courtesy of MSU Sports Information)

2009 NCaa Division II playoff Second roundDuluth, minn.

Saturday, November 21, 2009#6 Nebraska-Kearney 7 at #4 minnesota Duluth 42

The University of Minnesota Duluth picked an opportune time -- the opening of the win-or-go-home postseason -- to deliver perhaps its most impressive all-around performance of 2009.

Junior running back Isaac Odim rushed for three touchdowns and rookie quarterback Chase Vogler ran for one score and threw for another as Bulldogs opened their NCAA Division II national title defense Saturday afternoon by overwhelming the University of Nebraska-Kearney 42-7 in a second round playoff clash at James S. Malosky Stadium.

“We played our best game of the year and I knew we would have to,” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson. “I was very pleased with the way we executed both offensively and defensively. I thought our defense was outstanding from start to finish and Chase did an exceptional job at managing the offense.”

The No. 4 Bulldogs jumped out to a 28-0 halftime lead (getting 14 of those points off Loper turnovers) before adding a pair of third-quarter touchdowns to put the game away. Odim, one of nine finalists for the 2009 Harlon ll Trophy, eclipsed the 100-yard rushing barrier for the 12th time in 12 games this season, rolling up 102 yards on 17 carries. In the process, he became UMD’s all-time rushing leader with 3,379 yards -- 51 yards more than the previous titleholder, Dave Rufledt (2001-04). Odim’s backfield mate, junior Brad Foss, rushed 18 times for another 103 yards against a Loper club which had given up an average of just 83.2 yards per game on the ground heading into the day. It marked the fourth game this year that both members of the Odim-Foss tandem has run for 100 yards or more.

“We are a team which has to run the football effectively to be successful, “ said Nielson. “Having two quality backs like we do is extremely important. I think Brad showed today, like he pretty much has all season, that when Isaac is not in the game, our running attack doesn’t drop off much.”

Vogler, the first true freshman to hold a starting quarterback role at UMD in 47 years, completed 13 of 19 passes -- including a 32-yard touchdown strike to sophomore wide receiver D.J. Winfield just before the halftime -- with no interceptions. He and the Bulldogs amassed 428 yards of total offense and held a 2:1 advantage in possession time (40:46 to 19:04) while putting the clamps on Nebraska-Kearney’s school-record 11-game winning streak.

The UMD defense, which has now allowed only five touchdown in five postseason engagements going back to last year, was paced by linebackers Robbie Aurich, the 2009 NSIC Defensive Player of the Year, and Max Phillips, both of whom were credited with a team-high five tackles. Senior cornerback Brandon Wood and his backup, junior Forest Clements, each picked off a pass for the Bulldogs, who limited the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference champion Lopers (11-2 overall) to just 63 yards of total offense through three quarters and 158 for the game.

UMD, now 11-1 on the year and 27-1 in its last 28 outings, advances to the NCAA II quarterfinals and a Nov. 28 home showdown with Grand Valley State University, a 44-27 winner over Hillsdale College Saturday, at Malosky Stadium. The Bulldogs pulled out a stunning 19-13 overtime road win over the Lakers in the quarterfinals one year ago on their way to the the school’s first-ever NCAA II championship in any sport.


2009 NCAA Division II Playoff QuarterfinalsDuluth, minn.

Saturday, November 28, 2009#3 Grand valley State 24 at #4 minnesota Duluth 10

There will be no national championship repeat for the University of Minnesota Duluth. Grand Valley State University saw to that Saturday afternoon, keeping the high-powered Bulldog offense in check en route to a 24-10 NCAA Division II quarterfinal victory at James S. Malosky Stadium.

The day started out in an auspicious manner for No. 4 UMD, as junior running back Isaac Odim took the opening kick 91 yards into the end zone. The No. 3 Lakers answered with two touchdowns 1:36 apart before sophomore placekick-er David Nadeau nailed a 34-yard field goal with 3:30 to play in the first quarter to cut the Grand Valley State lead to 14-10. Justin Trumble’s field goal from 30 yards out four minutes into the second quarter put the Lakers back up by 7, a lead it would carry into halftime.

Grand Valley State quarterback Brad Iciek, who like Odim is one of nine final-ists for the 2009 Harlon Hill Trophy, connected on a 32-yard scoring strike with Greg Gay at the 7:31 mark of the third quarter to close out the scoring.

“I thought our guys played exceptionally hard,” said head coach Bob Niel-son, whose Bulldogs defeated the Lakers in double overtime on the road in last year’s NCAA II quarterfinals. “But Grand Valley State certainly deserved to win today -- they made more plays than we did.”

After mustering just 59 yards of total offense in the opening 30 minutes of play, UMD moved the football inside the Grand Valley State 30-yard in each of its first four possessions of the second half, but failed to come away with any points. Three of those drives ended on interceptions and the other on downs. The Lakers, who have won four of the last seven NCAA II crowns, rolled up 393 yards on the afternoon, including 168 on the ground -- the most by any UMD opponent this season.

Odim was held to a career-low 67 rushing yards (on 18 carries) after having come into the day averaging the fourth highest run total in the nation (145.1 yards per game). The 2009 NSIC Offensive Player of the Year did, however, help the Bulldog cause by racking up 175 yards (four shy of the school single-game record) on four kick returns. Freshman quarterback Chase Vogler com-pleted eight of 20 passes for 102 yard, but was picked off four times -- one less than he had in the previous 12 games combined.

“Our offense has to do a better job of putting points on the board,” said Odim, UMD’s all-time career rushing, scoring and touchdown leader. “But we really can’t make any excuses this time. They just outplayed us.”

For the 15th time in the past 17 games, junior inside linebacker paced Robbie Aurich paced the Bulldogs in tackles with nine while cornerback Brandon Wood, free safety Brad Just and noseguard Tyler Johnson all were credited with eight stops. Wood and Johnson were two of the 12 UMD seniors playing in their final collegiate games.

“I can’t say enough about the seniors,” said Johnson, whose eight tackles were a personal best. “ We would have liked to out on top again but we can’t knock the season we had.”

The Bulldogs conclude the year with an 11-2 overall record while Grand Val-ley State will take a 12-1 mark into next Saturday’s NCAA II semifinal matchup with Carson Newman College.

UmD maKeS hISTory - a perfeCT 15-0

2008 NCaa Division II National Championshipflorence, alabama


#6 minnesota Duluth 21, #3 Northwest missouri State 14

Defense does indeed win championships and for the University of Minnesota Duluth that meant claiming the biggest title NCAA Division II football has to offer and making history as the first NSIC team to win a National Championship in Football.

The Bulldogs, buoyed by a defensive unit which has been nothing short of stifling all year long, put a huge exclamation mark on a season for the ages by holding off No. 3 Northwest Missouri State University 21-14 in the NCAA II championship at Braly Municipal Stadium in Florence, Ala. With the historic victory, UMD finishes the year a perfect 15-0 -- one of only three NCAA II schools to ever reach that mark.

“All I can say is ‘wow,’” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson, whose club completed the great-est one-year turnaround (they were 4-6 one year ago) since the NCAA II began keeping that statistic in 1996. “The kind of win we had today really speaks to the character of our football team. They never give up and are always supportive of one another, no matter what the circum-stances. Today’s game is simply a great ending to a great, great year.”

For the 14th time in 15 games this season, No. 6 UMD got on the scoreboard first when se-nior wide receiver Tony Doherty hauled in a 38-yard touchdown catch from senior All-American quarterback Ted Schalfke with 14 seconds remaining in the opening half. The Bulldogs extend-ed their lead to 14-0 midway though the third quarter on a Schalfke-to-Isaac Odim scoring strike from five yards out before Odim made it 21-0 a liitle more than a minute into the fourth quarter by plowing ahead for his school-record 30th overall touchdown on the year.

Northwest Missouri added a pair of scores in the last eight minutes of regulation – a 44-yard interception return by Aldwin Foster-Rettig and a one-yard touchdown reception by Ralphael Robinson to pull to within seven. But, on the ensuing kickoff following Robinson’s touchdown, Northwest Missouri State attempted an onside kick which was smothered by Bulldog senior Luke Schalekamp sealing UMD’s first NCAA II championship in any sport.

“That touchdown just before halftime was a big momentum builder for us,” said Schlafke, who broke the last remaining UMD passing or total offense record he didn’t own by throwing his 34th and 35th touchdown passes of the season. “We managed the clock pretty well (by driving 75 yards on six plays in just 1:03) and the touchdown was on a route we actually haven’t thrown all year.”

Northwest Missouri State, competing in its fourth consecutive NCAA II championship game, came into the afternoon sporting the fifth highest scoring offense in the nation. The Bearcats managed just 106 yards on the ground (on 32 carries) and coughed the ball up four times – two fumbles and two interceptions. The quarterbacking tandem of Joel Osborn and Blake Bolles combined for 189 yards while completing 18 of 30 passes, but were also sacked six times – twice by senior outside linebacker Ben Loth and senior defensive end Drew Fautsch.

“We did some really effective things with our pass rush today,” said sophomore inside linebacker Robbie Aurich, who was credited with a game-high 13 total tackles. “I thought our defensive coordinator John Steger developed a terrific game plan and we went out and executed it.”

Although Odim failed to eclipse the 100-yard rushing mark for the first time in his last eight outings the sophomore running back did run 21 times for 69 yards to pace the Bulldogs. Schlafke, making his school-record 47th consecutive start, was 14-of-22 for 128 yards and was picked off twice.

The Bulldogs, playing in front of crowd 6,219 and a national television audience for the third time this season, racked up 273 yards of total offense while the Bearcats (13-2 overall) finished with 295. But it was UMD’s defense, which has allowed only four touchdowns during their four-game post-season run against a quartet of Top 12 clubs, that proved to be the difference maker.

“Anytime you can control a very talented rushing attack like Northwest Missouri’s and force them throw the ball a little more than they like – that’s where it all starts,” said Nielson. “We have been tough against the run all season and today was no exception.”

The game marked the farewell appearance for 12 Bulldogs seniors, all of whom began their collegiate careers at UMD and helped lead the Bulldogs to a 33-14 overall record, two conference championships (the 2005 North Central Conference crown and the NSIC title this fall) and a pair of NCAA II playoff berths (2005 and 2008). That group included Schlafke, Doherty, Schalekamp, Loth and Fautsch, offensive guards Nate Baier and Matt Horvath, outside linebacker Jake Comnick, defensive end Dustin Timmersman, offensive tackle Mitch Cady, strong safety Jim Johnson, and free safety Tyler Yelk. Eleven of the one dozen UMD seniors were full-time starters.

“This is my 16th year as a head coach and I don’t think I’ve ever had senior class that has the kind of leaders that this one does,” said Nielson. “They are just a great group of kids who make players around them better. What a fitting way for them to go out.”

#6 minnesota Duluth 45, #7 California (pa) 7

Fourteen down, one to go. Isaac Odim scored four touchdowns and the University of Minnesota Duluth defense once again took care of business on the other side of the football as the Bulldogs rolled to a convincing 45-7 victory over host California University of Pennsylvania in the NCAA Division II semifinals Saturday afternoon.

With the win the No. 6 Bulldogs punched their ticket to next Saturday’s NCAA II title game in Florence, Ala. while moving to a perfect 14-0 on the season. They are the first Bulldog team in any sport to ever advance that far in NCAA II postseason play.

“I don’t want to say that today’s game was perfect but we played pretty close to that,“ said UMD head coach Bob Nielson, whose Bulldogs have now won 15 straight games and have trailed just once during that entire time. “I’m really proud of our football team and how we responded coming off the big win against (No. 1 ranked) Grand Valley State last week and played, without question, our best football game of the year.”

It was a record-breaking afternoon for Odim as the sophomore running back broke 32-year old single-season marks for rushing yardage (he now has 1,569), rushing touchdowns (25) and total touchdowns (28). The Rochester, Minn. native ran for 126 yards – including a 51-yard scoring jaunt which gave UMD a 31-0 third-quarter lead – on 17 carries and now has eclipsed the 100-yard barrier in seven straight games.

Playing before a national television audience for the second time this fall, the Bulldogs also got touchdowns from sophomore Brad Foss (a nine-yard run) and senior wide receiver Tony Doherty (a four-yard pass reception which closed out the scoring) and a 23-yard field goal from freshman David Nadeau. UMD rolled up 451 yards of total offense, 211 of which came in the first half when it jumped out to a 17-0 lead. Bulldog senior quarterback Ted Schlafke, who was making his school-record tying 46th consecutive start, connected on 12 of 21 passes for 141 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Doherty and sophomore wide out D.J. Winfield paced the Bulldogs with three receptions each. Winfield turned those three catches into 17 yards to push his 2008 pass reception yardage total to 1,179 yards, which surpassed the Steve Battaglia’s previous single-season mark (1,166 in 2002).

UMD came into the afternoon sporting the nation’s second toughest defense against the run and held the No. 7 Vulcans to just 56 yards (almost 150 yards below their season average) on 27 attempts. Sophomore inside linebacker Robbie Aurich was credited with game-high 11 total tackles while senior strong safety Jim Johnson had eight stops and a pair of interceptions. The Bulldogs have allowed just three touchdowns in their three playoff games to date.

“The d-line was unbelievable with the pressure they put on their quarterback today,” said Johnson.”They are the ones who deserve all of the credit,”

The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference champion Vulcans who were hosting their second NCAA II semifinal game in as many years, finished 12-2.

UMD will travel to Florence, Ala. next Saturday in search of its first NCAA II football crown against Northwest Missouri State University. The national championship will kick off at 12:00 pm (CST) and be carried on ESPN2.

“We’ve done a really good job all year of getting to the next game and we’re not done yet,” said Schlafke, the 2008 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Offensive Player of the Year. “15-and-0 sounds better than 14-and-1 and that’s been our goal all year. Right now it (national championship) is in our grasp and we want to take advantage of it.”““I keep telling myself that a week from now we are going to be playing for a national championship,” added Odim. “It’s still hard to believe. We had high expectations coming into the season and we don’t want to stop now.”

#6 minnesota Duluth 19, #1 Grand valley State 13 2oT

What was hailed as the biggest game in the 76-year history of University of Minnesota Duluth football wound up producing the program’s biggest win ever.

Isaac Odim’s two-yard touchdown run in the second overtime and Kiel Fechtelkotter’s ensuing interception sealed the Bulldogs’ historic 19-13 victory over No. 1 Grand Valley State University in the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division II playoffs Saturday afternoon. The road win sends the unbeaten Bulldogs (13-0) into next Saturday’s semifinals against California University (Pa.) at a site to be determined while the host Lakers, who lost for just the second time in their last 53 games, end their season at 11-1.

The Bulldogs found themselves trailing for the first time in 14 games when Grand Valley took at 3-0 lead with 2:57 remaining in the first quarter on Todd Carter’s 28-yard field goal. Senior quarterback Ted Schlafke hooked up with Odim on a 16-yard scoring strike to go up 7-3 six seconds into the second quarter before Carter nailed another field goal from 36 yards out three minutes later to pull the Lakers to within one.

It remained 7-6 until D.J. Winfield hauled in a 34-yard touchdown pass from Schlafke late in the third quarter, but freshman placekicker David Nadeau, who had earlier missed a 39-yard field goal, had his extra point conversion kick blocked. Grand Valley, which came into afternoon riding a 29-game home winning streak (it hadn’t lost at Lubber Stadium since Oct. 23, 2004), sent the game into overtime on Jonn Mathews’ seven-yard scoring reception with only 66 seconds remaining in regulation.

Both teams failed to score in the first overtime – Carter missed his third field goal try of the day (from 37 yards) while Schlafke was picked off on UMD’s opening play. Odim then found the endone four plays into the Bulldogs next series before Fechtelkotter sealed the win with his third interception of the year at UMD’s 15-yard line.

“While I was dropping back I saw their quarterback (Brad Iciek) shift his eyes so I made a quick break and he threw it right at me,” said Fechtelkotter. “I got my club (his cast protected left arm) on the ball and wasn’t about to let go.”

The game, played before a crowd of 3,548, featured two of the eight 2008 Harlon Hill Trophy finalists in Schalfke and Iciek. Schlafke, making his 45th consecutive start, connected on 14 of 26 passes for 160 yards and a pair of scores but was intercepted a season-high three times. Iciek also threw three picks (doubling his previous 2008 total) and was just 13-of-46 for 160 yards. It didn’t help Grand Valley’s junior quarterback that the Bulldogs were credited with a season-high nine pass breakups, including three by senior free safety Tyler Yelk.

“That was the difference in the ball game -- we were able to disrupt their passing attack,” said Nielson, whose Bulldogs have now won 14 consecutive games dating back to last year. “Our defense has proven time in and time out that were difficult to run against, but today we didn’t let them get anything going through the air.”

Odim ran for a game-high 124 yards on 21 carries and scored his 22nd rushing touchdown (which tied the school single-season mark set by All-American running back Ted McKnight in 1976) and his 24th overall touchdowns (equalling McKnight’s school record from that same year). The sophomore running back has now amassed 100-plus yards on the ground in each of the past six games and seven times overall this fall.

“Everyone came into this game a little more hungry, because we did know that it was Grand Valley and we knew that not many people gave us a chance to win this game,” said Odim, who has rushed for 1,443 yards -- the second highest single-season total in team history -- on 185 carries for a 7.8 yards per run average.

UMD not only held the potent Laker offense to a mere touchdown on the day, but also just 269 yards of total offense -- almost 200 yards below their season average.

“Our strategy coming in was to attack on defense and those guys did a great job of doing that,” added Schlafke. “ It was great how everyone came together with a little adversity there at the end. But we were still able to pull it out in overtime, and I think that says a lot about this team.”

2008 NCaa Division II playoff 2nd roundDuluth, minn.


#6 minnesota Duluth 20, #12 Chadron State 10

Ted Schlafke launched his memorable college career three years ago against Chadron State College. He wasn’t about to end it against those same Eagles.

The University of Minnesota Duluth senior quarterback had a hand in all three touchdowns, helping spark the No. 6 Bulldogs to a 20-10 victory over No. 12 Chadron State in the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs Saturday afternoon at James S. Malosky Stadium. The win was UMD’s first ever in three lifetime NCAA playoff games and its 13th straight victory overall dating back to last year. The Bulldogs, who were hosting their first postseason football game ever, moved to 12-0 on the season and will advance to next Saturday’s quarterfinal matchup at Grand Valley State University.

UMD, which had been averaging 46.2 points per game in 2008, was unable to establish consistent offensive rhythm against the Eagles’ tough defense, which used a solid pass rush to prevent Schlafke from getting comfortable in the pocket. UMD failed to score in the opening 15 minutes of play for the first time this fall after racking up an NCAA II-best 164 first-quarter points.

“I didn’t throw the ball great all day,” said Schlafke, who completed ten of 25 passes for a season-low 137 yards with no interceptions. “It might have been an off day for me.”

Schlafke’s six-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter put the Bulldogs ahead 7-0, a lead UMD would take into halftime. The Bulldogs went up 20-0 on a pair of third-quarter touchdowns -- a 15-yard strike from Schlafke (his 100th as collegian) to sophomore wide out Noah Pauley and Schlafke’s 3-yard scoring run. Chadron State (11-2), the three-time defending Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference champion, got on the scoreboard when Trevor Hyatt blocked UMD’s extra point attempt and returned it for two points. The Eagles would score on the ensuing possession to cut the gap to 20-10, but could get no closer as the UMD defense tightened up and did not allow any fourth-quarter points.

The Bulldogs again used a physical running attack to wear the Eagles down and control the clock, owning a 38:26-21:34 advantage in time of possession. Sophomore running back Isaac Odim turned in another stellar performance, rushing 25 times for 192 yards, both career highs. The Bulldogs rolled up 251 yards on the ground while holding Eagles to just eight yards on 17 attempts.

“We knew coming in that they had a good defensive scheme. They move guys around and do a lot of blitzing,” said Odim, who topped the 100-yard mark for the fifth straight game and sixth time this season. “Our preparation paid off.”

UMD’s defense matched the offensive unit stride for stride. The Eagles’ offense was held to 70 first-half yards, and just 178 for the game. Strong safety Jim Johnson, one of 12 Bulldogs seniors who made their final collegiate home appearances Saturday, led the way with nine tackles, including two for a loss, while sophomore linebacker Robbie Aurich was credited with seven stops, 2.5 for a loss and 1.5 sacks.

“Don’t look past what our defense did today. They were a dominating force in the game,” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson, who also guided the Bulldogs to the NCAA II playoffs in 2002. “We’ve got to have more production from our passing game than we had today. We didn’t do a real good job in the red zone, and that had been a real strength for our team.”

Schlafke and six other Bulldogs played in UMD’s last playoff outing -- a first round loss at the University of North Dakota in 2005 -- but the 2008 NSIC Offensive Player of the Year and Harlon Hill Trophy top 8 finalist feels this year’s team has the ability to do something special as it begins to prepare for Saturday’s clash with perennial NCAA II power Grand Valley State.

“The difference between this team and [the 2005 Bulldogs] is that we’re not just happy to be here,” Schlafke said.


2008 NCaa Division II playoff 1st roundChadron, Neb.


#12 Chadron State 23, #22 wayne State (Ne) 17

Wayne State’s nine wins tied a school record for most wins in a season and it was just the third post-season appearance in 93 years of WSC football and the first-ever in the NCAA Division II playoffs, a 23-17 loss to Chadron State.

The Eagles jumped out to an early 7-0 lead after taking the opening drive of the game 82 yards in just four plays. Chadron State quarterback Joe McLain connected with Joel Schommer on a 73 yard touchdown pass for the Eagles. Wayne State responded quickly with a 12 play drive capped by a Nick Hope 40 yard field goal to make the score 7-3 in favor of Chadron State. The teams then traded turnovers. Chadron State’s John Ritzen fumbled and Wayne State safety Matt Greenway fell on the loose ball. WSC was unable to take advantage of the turnover as Chadron State defensive back Terrance Newman picked off a Silas Fluellen pass to give the ball right back to the Eagles. However, Wayne State took advantage of another Chadron State turnover to take the lead as Matt Greenway intercepted a Joe McLain pass and returned it 62 yards for a touchdown to give the ‘Cats a 10-7 lead.

The score remained the same until 3:22 left in the first half when Chadron State’s Brett Gumb blocked a Wayne State punt for a safety to cut the Wayne State lead to one at 10-9. After WSC’s free punt, Chadron State marched 71 yards on 11 plays to take a 16-10 lead. Joe McLain connected with Isaac Stockton on a 14 yard touchdown pass for the Chadron State score. Wayne State ran out the clock, and the Eagles took a 16-10 lead into the halftime break.

Wayne State used a no-huddle offense to start the third period and drove deep into Chadron State territory. However, Silas Fluellen was picked off for the second time in the game by Chadron State’s Aaron Bauer to stop the Wildcat drive. Wayne State coach Dan McLaughlin said, “We were really able to move the football as the game progressed. I just wish we would have gone to the no-huddle offense sooner.” The interception was turned into points as Chadron State drove 74 yards on 10 plays, culminated by a 13 yard touchdown pass from McClain to Tyler Watson which made the score 23-10 in favor of Chadron State. Wayne State then moved the ball once again all the way down to the Chadron State two yard line. However, another turnover cost the ‘Cats as Eric Meyer fumbled and Chadron State’s Nick Milani recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchback. Coach McLaughlin referenced the turnovers after the game. “When you turn the ball over four times and have a punt blocked, it is going to be really tough to beat a quality team.”

The teams traded possessions early in the fourth quarter. Wayne State running back Travis Rhone fumbled early in the quarter, but the Wildcat defense held to give possession back to WSC with just over 10 minutes remaining in the game. WSC moved down the field and kept the drive alive on a big fourth down completion from Fluelllen to Bruno. Two plays later, Fluellen hit Logan Masters for a 30 yard touchdown reception to pull Wayne State within six at 23-17. The Wildcat defense forced a Chadron State three and out. However, the Wayne State offense couldn’t get anything going and went three and out as well. Chadron State then moved the ball downfield for a field goal try, but the attempt was blocked by Wayne State giving the ‘Cats another chance. After a first down completion from Fluellen to Brian Chapman, the Chadron State defense forced three straight incompletions and took over on downs. Chadron State took a knee three times and punted the ball away with eight seconds remaining. Frederick Bruno returned the Chadron State punt to the CSC 40 yard line, but time ran out and the Eagles held on for the 23-17 win.

Wayne State finished with 375 yards of total offense compared to 352 for Chadron State. WSC quarterback Silas Fluellen completed 17 of 40 passes for 236 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Fluellen also led the ‘Cats in rushing with 16 carries for 60 yards while Travis Rhone finished with 56 yards on 11 carries. Logan Masters led WSC with nine catches for 118 yards and a touchdown. Frederick Bruno added five catches for 88 yards for Wayne State.

Ryan Reeves led the way for Wayne State defensively with nine tackles followed by Luke Hoffman with seven. Trevor Hyatt had 11 tackles on the day followed by Zach Wheeler with 10 to lead Chadron State defensively.

Ashland University scored the games final 14 points to turn a 16-13 deficit into a 27-16 victory Saturday afternoon in front of 2,100 fans in a wet, windy Community Stadium in Ashland, Ohio.

The game marked MSU’s first in the NCAA playoffs since the 1993 season and just the sixth game played by the Mavericks in the postseason.

“I am very proud of the way our players performed today,” said Minnesota State head coach Todd Hoffner. “It was a very hard fought game. Our hats are off to Ashland.”

Minnesota State cracked the scoreboard first as junior running back Ernest Walker finished off an 11-play drive with a two-yard touchdown run. The score was set up by a 15-yard pass from junior quarterback Ryan Fick to sophomore wideout Omaar Balton. Redshirt-freshman Grady Derheim’s extra point was wide left and MSU took a 6-0 lead six minutes and 42 seconds into the contest.

After trading possessions, Ashland took a 7-6 lead when quarterback Billy Cundiff found D’Marris McCoy in the front of the endzone for a three-yard touchdown strike. The drive used 10 plays and covered 64 yards, chewing up 4:31 off the clock.

Ashland took the lead at the 3:33 mark of the second quarter when Cundiff ran around the left side for a five-yard scoring run. The extra point was no good and Ashland took a 13-6 lead. The touchdown was set up on a 44-yard fake punt, which saw Tom Brenner run 44-yards to the Maverick 16-yard line. Ashland then scored four plays later to cap the 11-play, 85-yard drive which used 5:51 off the clock.

The Mavericks scored on the ensuing possession as the Mavericks relied on Walker to rush six-plays for all 66 yards of the drive. Derheim’s kick was good and the game was tied at 13 heading into the half. Walker tied his season-long rush on the drive has he had a 32-yard run around the left side behind the blocks of junior linemen Adrian Battles and Matt Gray.

Minnesota State opened with great field position in the third quarter however came up empty on its first two possessions of the half. Derheim attempted a 42-yard field goal that missed wide left, and then on the ensuing possession, Derheim’s 35-yard field goal was blocked.

The Mavericks scored the second half’s first points 2:43 into the fourth quarter when Derheim booted a 28-yard field goal into a stiff wind, giving MSU a 16-13 advantage.

Ashland responded on the ensuing possession as Cundiff found wideout Joe Horn for a 66-yard touchdown strike. On the play prior to the touchdown, Ashland was flagged for a clip and were faced with a third-down and 20-yard situation. The extra point was good and the Eagles opened a 20-16 advantage.

McCoy added a touchdown with a little over two minutes left in the game to seal the Eagle victory.

The Maverick offense was led by Walker who finished the game with 28 carries for 143 yards, establishing a new career-high. Walker also scored both of MSU’s touchdowns.

Shackelford added 19 carries for 95 yards.Cundiff finished the game completing 8-of-16 passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns.

Horn led all receivers with four catches for 113 yards and one touchdowns. Minnesota State outgained Ashland, 334-314. The Mavericks had 256 yards on the

ground compared to 172. Defensively, sophomore linebacker Matt McQuiston led all Mavericks tacklers with 11

tackles. Junior linebacker Tony Hunter added 10 stops for the Mavericks.Minnesota State’s season ends with a 9-3 record. Ashland advances to the round of

16 next week and will play top-ranked (nationally and in the region), Grand Valley State in Allendale, Mich.

Emporia State scored its only points on its very first series of the game. Justin Gray completed a nine-play, 64-yard drive by putting a 33-yard field goal attempt through the uprights for a 3-0 ESU lead with 11:42 left in the first quarter. Later in the quarter ESU would drive to the WSU 21 and had a fourth-and-1 play, but standout senior running back Tyler Paul, who finished the game with 107 yards on 31 carries, was stopped short of the a first down by Koehler. That would go on to prove to be the deepest ESU would ever get again in WSU territory.

The game ended the season for Paul, who totaled 1,730 yards on 345 carries.

The Hornets outgained the Warriors 283-199 but WSU trio of linebackers; Deric Sieck (a game-leading 14), Brent Thoen (10) and Mike Madsen (6); did most of the damage on defense by coming up with a combined effort of 30 total tackles. The defensive trio also totaled three tackles for loss and Madsen came up with one of the two interceptions the Warriors had.

WSU safety Luke Lokanc had the other interception and returned it for 23 yards to stop another ESU drive.

The Warriors were the beneficiaries of another Emporia State miscue when a bad snap resulted in a ten-yard loss on a 44-yard field goal attempt late in the second quarter.

The Warriors now advance to the second round of the playoffs and are scheduled to meet North Dakota University, a team Winona State played in the opening round of the 2001 NCAA playoffs.

Winona State Advances to Second Round for First Time in Program History

Caleb Johnson’s 69 yard reception with just over a minute left set up Adam Roland’s one-yard touchdown plunge as top-seeded North Dakota erased a late fourth quarter deficit to down visiting Winona State 36-29 in the NCAA Division II quarterfinal round Saturday at Alerus Center.

Johnson, who had a nine-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter, pulled in a 15-yard slant from John Bowenkamp and raced down the sidelines to the Warriors’ five. Three plays later Roland gave UND the lead with 24 seconds left with his second touchdown of the day.

The Sioux clinched the second round triumph when Jason Peterson recovered a Brian Wrobel fumble at the UND 45-yard line as time expired. It was the fifth turnover UND’s defense forced in Saturday’s contest and possibly the biggest.

The furious last minute rally moves the Fighting Sioux (11-1) into the Division II semifinals, where they will meet North Alabama next Saturday. Times and site will be determined later this week.

After taking a 28-7 into the half, UND watched Winona State put together a second half rally to take a one-point lead with 1:52 remaining in the fourth quarter. Warrior tailback Bounthavy Khamratthanome hit Chris Samp with a 19-yard touchdown on a halfback pass play to give the Warriors their first lead of the game.

Winona State outgained the Sioux 406-365, but fell victim to five turnovers — three fumbles and two interceptions — and a slow start.

The Fighting Sioux scored on four consecutive possessions in the second quarter, including a 73-yard punt return for a touchdown by Travis Lueck, to build a 21-point lead before the half. It was the most points the Sioux have scored in a quarter this year since dropping 42 on Minnesota-Crookston in the second quarter of the season’s opening game.

Johnson and Willis Stattleman caught touchdowns of nine and 19 yards, respectively from Joe Wilson in the 28-point period.

Grand valley State 16, winona State 13

A 9-yard touchdown run by Cullen Finnerty in the fourth quarter propelled Grand Valley State to a 3-point lead and eventually a 16-13 victory Saturday over Winona State in Division II first-round playoffs.

Finnerty ran for 40 yards and passed for an additional 112 yards, com-pleting 10 of his 20 passing attempts. Mike Tennessee added 100 rushing yards for the Lakers (9-2).

The Warriors (10-2) relied on quarterback Ryan Eversman for offensive power, as they tallied only 13 rushing yards on 30 attempts. Eversman passed for 296 yards and a touchdown and completed 17 of his 35 passing attempts. He was intercepted twice and sacked three times.

Scott Greene’s three field goals for the Lakers gave them a 9-0 advan-tage at halftime.

Two third-quarter Warrior touchdowns, one an 18-yard pass from Ever-sman to Chris Samp and the next a 2-yard run by Alex Wiese, bumped Winona State to a 13-9 lead going into the fourth quarter.

But Finnerty’s touchdown run with just under 10 minutes left to play proved to be the game-winner.

The Warriors’ Eric Kraus missed a 45-yard field goal as the game ended.

Winona State Earns First-Ever NCAA Playoff Victory Winona State University scored 10 points in the third quarter and then

used a bend but do not break defense to hand Emporia State University (Kan.) a 10-3 defeat in the opening round of a NCAA Division II Midwest Region playoff game played at Maxwell Field.

Senior place kicker Steve Opgenorth booted what proved to be insurance points when he converted a 22-yard field goal with 7:37 left to play in the third quarter. The field goal capped a seven-play, 16-yard drive that was set up when Winona special teams player David Cruz blocked a punt attempt by Emporia’s Mike Servis at the Hornets’ 21 yardline. The Warriors got to the ESU nine but the drive was slowed by a false start penalty by the Warriors and Opgenorth would come on and kick his tenth field goal of the season.

From there the Warriors held the Hornets in check. Twice WSU intercepted ESU quarterback Tad Hartfield in the fourth quarter and the contest was sealed when WSU senior cornerback Steve Koehler forced wide receiver Rashem Sharpe to fumble on the Winona 39. Koehler completed the play by recovering the fumble and Winona then ran out the clock to secure its 11th win of the season against one loss. The 11 wins represents a single-season school record for number of victories.

A record-setting performances was also accomplished on the play that gave the Warriors the lead on the first series of the second half. Junior wide receiver Chris Samp hauled in a 34-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Brian Wrobel to give Winona a 6-3 lead before Opgenorth converted the extra point attempt. With that TD reception Samp broke the WSU all-time record for career touchdown receptions with 30. Samp finished up the game with three receptions for 55 yards and now has caught a pass in 27 consecutive games and has a TD catch in 20 of his 36 career games as a Warrior.

Northwest trailed 7-0 early, but came back to take a 17-10 advantage at halftime. From there, a third quarter that featured 41 points changed the complexion of the game.

Northwest fumbled the second-half kickoff and the Bulldogs recovered. One play later, Tim Battaglia hauled in a 34-yard touchdown pass from Ricky Fritz to tie the game at 17-17. Northwest regained the lead on a freshman fullback Daren Roberts’ 5-yard score. The touchdown was set up by a 30-yard pass from senior quarterback John McMenamin to sophomore wide receiver Jamaica Rector.

The Bearcats held the Bulldogs on the ensuing possession and were looking to take over. But Scaggs fumbled and Minnesota Duluth’s Cash Langeness returned the fumble 55 yards for a score, tying the contest 24-24 with 10:44 left in the third.

Northwest got another Roberts touchdown, this time from 1 yard out, capping a 66-yard drive. But the Bulldogs answered again, using a fake punt to keep a touchdown drive alive. The score came on a 35-yard Steve Battaglia reception from Fritz, but the point after attempt was missed by Chad Gerlach, leaving Northwest with a 31-30 advantage.

The Bearcats capped the wild third quarter with a 64-yard bomb from McMenamin to Rector. That score put the Bearcats up, 38-30.

No. 4 North Dakota 42, No. 13 winona State 28

No. 13 Winona State Earns National And Regional Respect After Giving Eventual National Champion, North Dakota, a Tough Battle in

NSIC’s First NCAA Division II Playoff Appearance

North Dakota took the opening kickoff and drove for a touchdown with a 12-play, 77-yard drive to make it 7-0. The drive was capped by a 10-yard Klosterman touchdown pass to tight end John Kyvig. The Sioux forced Winona State to punt after just three plays, and then came back with another touchdown drive, taking eight plays to move 57 yards to the end zone. It was again capped by a touchdown pass from Klosterman to Kyvig—this time from two yards out. That made the score 14-0 with 3:22 to play in the quarter. The Warriors only managed three plays on each of their first two drives and were held to 25 yards in the first quarter. After punting on its second possession, however, Winona State immediately got the ball back when the Warriors’ Steven Koehler intercepted a Klosterman pass and returned it 35 yards to the UND 29-yard line. From there, Winona State used eight plays to get on the board, scoring on a one-yard run by quarterback Bruce Carpenter. Kicker Steve Opgenorth’s extra point made it 14-7.

North Dakota was forced to punt on its next possession, as was Winona State, and the Sioux took over on their own seven-yard line with 7:54 to play in the half. From there, North Dakota mounted an impressive nine-play drive that concluded with a 19-yard touchdown pass from Klosterman to Smith. Klosterman completed all six of his passes on the drive, two to Smith. North Dakota kicker Cameron Peterka’s extra point made it 21-7 with 3:26 to play in the half. Winona State responded with a nine-play, 74-yard drive that ended with a five-yard touchdown pass from Carpenter to wide receiver Adam Lilla with 21 seconds to play in the half. The half ended with North Dakota leading 21-14.

After a North Dakota fumble on their own 33-yard line Winona State got a first down with a holding penalty to put the ball on the North Dakota 23-yard line, but the Warriors could not move the ball from there and Opgenorth attempted a 41-yard field goal which was short. After the missed field goal attempt, North Dakota took over from the 24 and drove 76-yards in 10 plays to extend its lead to 28-14 after Klosterman connected with Smith on a 16-yard pass with 5:35 to play in the third quarter.

However, the Warriors responded three plays later with a 64-yard touchdown pass from Carpenter to Lilla, making it 28-21 with 4:17 left in the third. Then North Dakota’s Dan Graf returned the ensuing kickoff 44 yards, giving the Sioux a first down at its own 47-yard line. On its third play of the drive, Klosterman threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Smith with 2:49 to play in the quarter. Peterka’s extra point made it 35-21. The Sioux defense forced Winona State to punt after just three plays, and the North Dakota offense came back with a four-play, 80-yard scoring drive that ended with Klosterman throwing a 32-yard scoring strike to Smith. Winona State closed the scoring with a 12-play, 75-yard drive that concluded with a 2-yard touchdown pass from backup quarterback Brian Wrobel to Lilla with 26 seconds to play.

North Dakota gained a season-high 508 yards (167 rushing, 341 passing) of total offense in the game, while Winona State had 339 yards (140 rushing, 199 pass-ing) of total offense, the most that North Dakota gave up all season. North Dakota running back Jed Perkerewicz rushed for a game-high 143 yards on 26 carries, and Klosterman had 49 yards on six carries while wide receiver Luke Schleusner had a team-high seven catches for 62 yards.

Winona State’s Carpenter completed 13 of 25 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns. Lilla caught seven passes for 119 yards and three touchdowns. The Warriors’ leading rusher was Curtis Jepsen, who had 43 yards on eight carries. Winona State linebacker Jake Tietje led all players with 13 tackles (12 solo). North Dakota outside linebacker Eric Schmidt had seven solo tackles and five pass breakups. Sioux quarterback Kelby Klosterman and wide receiver Jesse Smith both tied NCAA Division II playoff records with six touchdown passes and four touchdown catches, respectively.

The 28 points allowed by North Dakota was the most they gave up against any opponent all season. The Sioux finish the season 14-1 winning the 2001 NCAA Division II National Championship, while Winona State finished its season with an overall record of 10-2 and a No. 13 national ranking.

For the 15th straight year, the NSIC will participate in the Mineral Water Bowl (MWB) hosted by the Quarterback Club of Excelsior Springs, Mo. In its 49th year, the MWB is one of three nationally officially sanctioned NCAA Division II bowl games. Each year, the MWB pits the highest-ranked team from the NSIC not involved in the NCAA Division II playoffs versus the highest-ranked team from the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) not participating in the NCAA Division II playoffs. The annual game takes place the first Saturday in December at the New Tiger Field in Excelsior Springs. The game serves as a fund raiser for the Quarterback Club, which donates more than $30,000 to the local school districts and community organizations each year through the MWB and other events.

The first MWB was played on Thanksgiving Day, 1948. A packed house watched Excelsior Springs High School defeat Mexico High School (Mo.), 48-18. The four high school Mineral Water Bowls’ were a showcase for the local Excelsior Springs Tigers who appeared in the first three games. The Tigers even travelled to Chattanooga, Tennessee to appear in the Orchid Bowl in addition to their 1948 MWB appearance. In 1951, the Missouri High School Athletic Association ended such strenuous schedules for high school squads by banning any postseason play that wasn’t sanctioned by their organization and, essentially, that put an end to the prep era of the game.

Heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano vacationed in Excelsior Springs in the fall of 1954 and a few months later the Mineral Water Bowl returned as a small college game. It kicked off a span of twenty two years when the bowl became a Midwest institution that attracted great teams and some future stars to Excelsior Springs.

In 1957 the MWB was one of only 11 sanctioned by the NCAA, in the same company with the Sugar, Rose, Cotton and Orange Bowls. Each fall the bowl was home to championship caliber teams from Michigan to Colorado to Texas and North Dakota. The 1963 Northern Illinois Huskies, led by quarterback George Bork, were voted small college national champions after their MWB victory over Southwest Missouri State.

Former Nebraska coach Tom Osborne made dozens of bowl appearances as a coach, but his first experience in a bowl game was at the MWB. He played in the bowl in 1955 and 1957 as quarterback of Hastings College (Neb.) and lost both games. All-American Football League (AFL) safety, Ron Hall from Missouri Valley and the Boston Patriots played in the 1955 bowl. The first man to ever touch the ball on Monday Night Football, Don Cockroft, signed his first National Football League (NFL) contract under Roosevelt Field’s north goalpost following the 1966 MWB. He was signed by the Cleveland Browns after kicking for Adams State College.

Eric Brown of the Broncos is the only MWB player to have played in the Super Bowl but Bob Allison played in the 1951 bowl for Raytown High School (Mo.) and then appeared in the 1965 World Series when he was a slugging outfielder for the Minnesota Twins.

With more college football on television in the 1970’s, crowds began to thin. After the 1975 game, the MWB was cancelled and there was little interest in its return. Then in 1992 a reorganized Quarterback Club received National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) sanctioning for the Bowl to return.

The eight junior college games were exciting. The first three were decided by only two points and in the 1995 game Middle Georgia scored the winning touchdown with only 11 seconds remaining to defeat Hutchinson (KS). In 1996, Blinn College (TX) made history by winning an unprecedented second consecutive NJCAA championship. In 1997, Snow College (UT) defeated Coffeyville (KS) with a touchdown in the final minutes. Blinn returned in 1999, becoming the last Junior College Mineral Water Bowl champion, defeating Fort Scott (KS), 29-22, in a cold and steady rain.

The switch to NCAA Division II competition in 2000 increased the excitement of the game. Winona State and Missouri Western State put on a tremendous show as the visitors from the NSIC finally overcame the Griffons in a, 43-41, triple overtime classic. In 2001, the MWB featured two top 20 teams in NCAA Division II, No. 20 Central Missouri State versus No. 24 Minnesota Duluth. The Mules of CMSU were just too much for the Bulldogs of UMD as they earned a decisive 48-17 victory. In 2002 the Warriors of Winona State found themselves back in the Mineral Water Bowl for the second time in three years. However, this time Emporia State took home the hardware as the Hornets won the second-ever overtime game, 34-27. A new team represented the NSIC as Concordia-St. Paul fell to Missouri Western State, 24-14 in 2003. Northern State represented the league in 2004. The Wolves were edged by Washburn 36-33 on a last second field goal. In 2005 Missouri Western State knocked off Concordia-St. Paul 35-23 and in 2006 Bemidji State made their first appearance in the Bowl as the #23 Beavers lost to #14 Pittsburg State 27-35. In 2007 Wayne State returned the MWB for the first time since 1970, unfortunately for found themselves on the losing end of a 20-13 game against Missouri Western State. Things turned around in 2008 as new league member Augustana College whooped Missouri Western State 37-16 to give the NSIC their second win in the bowl game. In 2009 MWSU got revenge downing Augustana 34-21. In 2010 Concordia-St. Paul made their third appearance in the bowl. After leading 9-0 at half, Pittsburg State ground out 13 second half points for a 13-9 win. The NSIC got back to its winning ways in 2011 as Minnesota State, making their first appearance in the MWB defeated Northeastern State (Okla.) 28-14. Northeastern State was slated to join the MIAA the in the 2012 season (they were selected as no team over over .500 in the MIAA after teams were selected for NCAA Playoffs). In 2012 Winona State returned for a third time and knocked off Lindenwood 41-21. In 2014, Sioux Falls defeated Oklahoma State 42-10.

2019 mineral water Bowl excelsor Springs, mo.

Saturday, December 7, 2019winona State 33 vs. Nebraska Kearney 50

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo. – Following a three-week wait, the 54th annual Mineral Water Bowl got off to a fast start on Saturday afternoon at Tiger Stadium between Winona State University and the University of Ne-braska-Kearney. Unfortunately for the Warriors, it was the UNK Lopers who put 15 points on the board in the first six minutes and led wire-to-wire in a 50-33 decision.

Winona State’s defense entered the season finale allowing just 16.6 points/game, but was gashed by the Lopers’ option offense in the loss. UNK rushed for 427 yards and six touchdowns, including 240 yards on the ground in the first half to take a 36-19 advantage into halftime. Loper quarterback TJ Davis accounted for 144 of those rushing yards and four scores while throwing for another touchdown as he attempted just six pass attempts.

The Warriors did force a pair of takeaways, including an interception by Cole Monckton and a fumble recovery by Alex Evans. Winona State con-cludes the year with 29 forced turnovers – a mark that ranks seventh in the country this season. The Warriors’ 21 interceptions this season were the fifth-most among all NCAA Division II teams.

Saturday’s tilt started with a three-and-out by the WSU offense, preceding UNK’s lightning-quick scoring drive on the other end. The Lopers needed just two plays, a pair of rushes, to find the end zone on the feet of Davis who scrambled 54 yards for the first points of the game. UNK converted its two-point attempt, and the same sequence would follow. The Warriors next possession went backward, and Davis rushed for 39 yards on two plays for another scored and a 15-0 lead.

Winona State’s next offensive possession lasted 14 plays and covered 57 yards, but stalled in the red zone and the Warriors settled for three points on a Paul Ortiz field goal.

UNK ran just two plays once again on its third possession, but this time re-sulted in a forced fumble recovered by Evans. The Warriors then showcased their quick-striking ability with a 23-yard touchdown run by Miguel Benjamin.

The Lopers kept their foot on the gas and struck again to close the ac-tion-packed first quarter with a 22-9 advantage.

Winona State opened the second quarter by picking up a pair of critical third downs and once again cut into its deficit with a 51-yard pitch and catch from Owen Burke to Sawyer Maly. Ortiz closed the frame with another field goal to keep the Lopers within striking distance after UNK found the endzone two more times in the quarter for a 17-point halftime lead.

After yielding 36 points in the first half, the Warrior defense answered in a big way after the break by blanking the Lopers in the third quarter. Winona State put the lone puts of the frame on the board with a 33-yard touchdown catch by Tyler Knutson.

UNK would dash the Warriors’ hopes of a comeback in the fourth quarter with bookend scoring drives – both covering over 75 yards.

Burke, who hadn’t played under center since Week 10, showed little signs of rust, throwing for 284 yards and three touchdowns in the setback. Maly hauled in a pair of catches for 89 yards and a score while Jake Balliu recorded a team-high five catches for 68 yards.

Clay Schueffner led the defense with 10 tackles, capping a big year that saw the redshirt freshman recorded a team-best 76 tackles.

Winona State closes the 2019 campaign with a record of 8-4 after reaching the postseason for the 11th time in team history and 10th under head coach Tom Sawyer. The Warriors have won at least eight games in each of the last four season.

Saturday, December 2, 2017minnesota Duluth 28 vs. Central missouri 38

Excelsior Springs, Mo. (Tiger Stadium) - The University of Minnesota Du-luth held the upper hand in virtually every statistical category at Saturday’s Mineral Water Bowl. Except the one that counts the most.

The No. 23 Bulldogs set 2017 single-game highs for total yards, total plays and passing yards, but were outscored 28-6 over the final two quarters of play in a 38-28 loss to the University of Central Missouri in Excelsior Springs, Missour. The loss snapped an eight-game winning streak for UMD, which closed out the 2017 season with a 9-3 overall record.

Making their 10th consecutive postseason appearance, the Bulldogs took a 22-10 lead into the halftime break as redshirt freshman quarterback John Larson threw a pair of touchdown passes -- a 14-yarder to Nick Larson (his first reception of the season and first touchdown as a Bulldog) and a 40-yard-er to fellow senior Dominic Bonner (on a 4th-and-7 situation with 15 seconds remaining in the second quarter). Junior nose tackle and part-time fullback Dre Greer accounted for the other score, capping off an 11-play, 75-yard drive with a one-yard run in the final minute of the first quarter, putting the Bulldogs up 8-7.

Central Missouri’s Devante Turner and UMD’s Obi Ibeneme (a 15-yard strike from Larson) traded touchdowns int he first nine minutes of the second half before the Mules reeled off the final 21 points of the day. The first of those points came on the ensuing kickoff following Ibeneme’s first collegiate touchdown -- a 100-yard return by Jaylen Zachery. Central Missouri, which came into the weekend ranking second in NCAA Division II in total offense (527.1 yards per game), finished with 495 yards while the Bulldogs rolled up 528, including 449 yards through the air (compared to 302 for the Mules). Larson had a hand in 371 of those yards while completing 23 of 47 passes (all career highs) and also rushed for a team-high 50 yards on 19 carries. He did, however, one interception, just the sixth by a Bulldog quarterback this season. Sophomore Ben Everhart took snaps in the final three quarters and was 6-of-8 for 78 yards.

The Bulldogs also held advantages in time of possession (34:56 to 25:04), first downs (28-21) and total plays (89-72) in its second meeting ever with the Mules and its third-ever Mineral Water Bowl appearance. UMD played the better part of the last three quarters without senior offensive tackle Nolan Folkert and junior wide receiver Jason Balts (its leading receiver this season) after that pair of 2017 All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference first team honorees went down with injuries. Balts still managed to lead both teams with six catches for 110 yards.

UMD was led defensively by redshirt freshman inside backer Cory Dixon, who responded to his first start as a Bulldog by racking up a team-leading 10 total tackles. Outside linebacker Zach Bassuener and free safety Keegan Wirtz, two of the 18 UMD seniors who closed the books on their collegiate careers Saturday, were credited with eight and seven tackles, respectively.

Saturday, December 5, 2015fort hays State 22 vs minnesota Duluth 30

Excelsior Springs, Mo. (Tiger Stadium) - There are only four NCAA Division clubs that will close out the 2015 postseason on a winning note. Count the Uni-versity of Minnesota Duluth among them.

Sophomore Karl Finkel sealed the deal for the Bulldogs when he sacked Forth Hays State University quarterback Treveon Albert on a fourth-and-10 situation in the final 1:41 of play, giving UMD a 30-22 victory in the 50th annual Mineral Water Bowl in Excelsior Springs, Mo. With the win, their eighth in the last nine games, the reigning eight-time Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference North Division champion Bulldogs concluded the year at 9-3 overall.

UMD did an exceptional job -- to say the least -- of keeping the ball out of the Tigers’ hands in the first-ever meeting between the two teams. The Bulldogs set a school single-game record for time of possession (44:10 compared to 15:50 for Fort Hays State) and a 2015 high for total plays with 86 -- nearly double the Tigers’ output (44). Fort Hayes State (8-4), a member of the Mid-American Inter-collegiate Athletic Association which was making its first postseason appearance of any kind since 1995, was held to a season-low 181 total yards of offense.

Sophomore Nate Ricci, who is now 3-0 as a start since replacing injured junior quarterback Drew Bauer, three a pair of touchdown passes, including a one-yard toss to freshman tight end Tyler Lattery late in the first half that put the Bulldogs in the lead for good at 17-14. Senior Andrew Brees added three field goals (45, 37 and 32 yards) while nose tackle-turned fullback Jonathan Harden closed out the UMD scoring with his fourth touchdown of the year (from one-yard out) that put the Bulldogs up 30-14 with just 4:36 to go in the fourth quarter. Fort Hays State’s Daniel Lindsey returned the ensuing kickoff 72 yards for a score and, following a three-and-out by UMD, took over with 2:09 on the clock. Four plays later, howev-er, Finkel and the Bulldogs quashed any Tiger comeback plans.

Ricci was voted the Mineral Water Bowl Offensive Player of the Game after setting personal passing bests for completions (15), attempts (25), yards (123) and touchdowns. Junior running back Darren Walker rushed 31 times for a 126 yards to lead the Bulldogs while Albert held that honor for the Tigers (67 yards on 14 carries with one of those runs going for 72 yards and a touchdown. UMD, whih the has given up just 41 total points and an average of 174.3 overall yards while going unbeaten over the last three games, finished with 302 yards of total offense.

Sophomore linebacker Zach Bassuener (six tackles, including a pair of a loss), senior linebacker Brent Stiglich (five tackles and a force fumble and Finkel (five tackles and the team’s lone sack of the afternoon) led the Bulldogs defensively.

Excelsior Springs, Mo. (Tiger Stadium) - The Bemidji State University foot-ball team won its first postseason game in program history Saturday after-noon, 36-23, against Washburn University. Junior quarterback Jordan Hein and senior defensive back Kameel Al-Khouri earned offensive and defensive Most Valuable Player honors while the Beavers (9-3) tied a program record in wins for a single season

After trailing Washburn 10-0 four minutes into the first quarter, the “Gang Green” defense buckled down to hold the Ichabods to just 13 points during the remainder of the game. Hein found junior wide receiver Blake Holder for a 55-yard touchdown pass down the left sideline for BSU’s opening score, coming early in the second quarter. Hein accounted for all five of BSU’s touchdowns, four coming through the air and all to different receivers.

Both teams turned the ball over four times, including two interceptions by each team in the first half. Al-Khouri grabbed his first pick on Washburn’s first drive of the day. He also ended an Ichabods drive late in the game with his final interception to essentially seal the win for Bemidji State.

Junior wide receiver Christian Lunde, senior wide receiver Juwaan Richard and senior fullback Blake Petrich were on the receiving end of Hein’s three second half touchdown passes.

lindenwood (mo.) 21 winona State 41

Excelsior Springs, Mo. - Already Winona State’s all-time leading rusher, se-nior Rayon Simmons put an exclamation point on his outstanding career, rush-ing for 198 yards as the Warriors beat Lindenwood 41-21 in the Mineral Water Bowl Saturday in Excelsior Springs, Mo. Statistics

Simmons helped lead a Warrior rushing attack that rolled up 294 yards on the ground, while the WSU defense kept Lindenwood one-dimensional. LU was able to rush for just eight yards on the day on 16 carries.

The Warrior offense set the school’s single-season total offense record af-ter gaining 597 yards against Lindenwood. The team ended the season with 5,779 yards on the year, breaking the previous record of 5,563 set by the 2001 squad.

Simmons, the game’s offensive Most Valuable Player, rushed for over 100 yards in the first half while scoring a touchdown. The senior also caught three passes for 62 yards.

pittsburg State 13 Concordia-St. paul 9

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo. - The Concordia University football team (8-4) con-cluded their 2010 season today as Pittsburg State (6-6) scored 13 unanswered points in the second half to win the 45th-annual Mineral Water Bowl at Tiger Stadium. While the temperature was managable in the mid-30’s the wind whipped anywhere from 15 to 25 miles per hour throughout the day and certainly played a factor on both sidelines.

The Golden Bears weathered the first quarter perfectly, going into the stiff 20-mile per hour wind. The defense held Pitt State’s offense from scoring while Concordia’s offense maintained their drives enough to win the field position battle.

With the teams playing a scoreless first quarter, they switched sides and the Golden Bears went into the second with the winds at their back.

And they used the wind to their advantage, scoring under two minutes into the second quarter when senior Steven King (Johnston, Iowa) delivered a 51-yard field goal. King’s kick breaks a school record, formerly held by Thom Hardin who held the mark since 1982 with his 46-yard field goal against Northwestern College.

King’s 51-yard field goal was not only a school record, but a Mineral Water Bowl record as well, and is the only 50-plus yard field goal in the 45-year history of the game.

After the defense held the Gorillas to another three-and-out, the offense came back on the next drive, taking over near midfield in Gorilla territory due to a short Pitt State punt.

With a third and five on Pitt State’s 40 yard line, junior Spencer Ohm (Blooming Prairie, Minn.) connected with junior Charles Gilbert (Jacksonville, Fla.) for a 13-yard first down, Gilbert hauling in the catch while absorbing a hard hit from behind.

On the next play, Concordia pitched to junior Sam Campbell (Cary, Ill.) who found Gilbert on the halfback option pass for a 27-yard touchdown.

Gilbert’s touchdown reception ties the school record with 11 in a season, and is his 12th overall touchdown in 2010. All 12 of Gilbert’s scores have come from 23 yards or longer.

The defense continued to hold the strong rushing attack of the Gorillas, holding them to 112 yards of total offense in the first half. Pitt State managed only 2-7 passing for 17 yards and were haunted by multiple first half dropped passes. They were able to rush for 95 yards, but as a team that averages nearly 250 on the ground per game, the 95 yards was well below their normal pace.

The 9-0 halftime lead for Concordia didn’t deter the Gorillas from their run-oriented game plan, however.

In the third quarter, Concordia once again had the wind at their back and held a decisive field position advantage. Their opening drive of the second half came after the defense held PSU to another three-and-out. The offense took over on their own 42 and stalled-out just past midfield.

Senior punter T.G. Schoenberg (Woodbury, Minn.) buried the Gorillas at the one yard line, with redshirt freshman Jay Moten (Spicer, Minn.) alertly downing the ball.

It set up another three-and-out as the Gorillas punted from their own 10 yard line and a short punt set the Golden Bears up at the Gorilla 36 yard line.

But they couldn’t capitalize on offense with a pair of costly drops (one in the end zone), a sack and a costly penalty.

From there, the game’s momentum flipped and Pitt State’s ground attack wore down the Concordia defense which had played so well in building the 9-0 lead.

Pitt State rushed for most of their 166 yards in the second half after that turning point when Concordia failed to capitalize on the great field position. They finished above their season average with 261 yards in the game.

The Gorillas finally scored on a three yard Briceton Wilson rushing touchdown with just under a minute to play in the third quarter, capping an impressive 14-play, 80-yard drive that leaked nearly six minutes off the clock and kept Concordia’s offense from gaining more plays with the wind at their backs.

After Concordia went three-and-out to end the third quarter, Pitt State got back to work on the ground to start the fourth. They marched nine plays and 38 yards includ-ing their longest pass of the day, a 19-yarder to Jon Thomas. But the Golden Bears stopped the Gorillas on 3rd and 2 from the CU 29 yard line, forcing a field goal. Gorilla kicker Jake Craig hammered the 46-yard attempt through the uprights to put Pitt State ahead, 10-9.

After a fumble on Concordia’s first play of their ensuing possession, Craig added another field goal from 36-yards at 6:47 in the fourth quarter for a 13-9 Pitt State lead.

The Golden Bears, trailing 13-9, started on a drive to answer. Ohm completed a nine yard pass to senior Zach Hovey (Champlin, Minn.) and two plays later found senior Hayden Vavra (Cambridge, Minn.) for 19 yards to midfield. A seven yard run by Campbell had Concordia with a 2nd and short at the Pitt 43 yard line. But they lost seven yards on the next play. Ohm rushed for six yards to get Concordia to a 4th and 4 situation, but his pass to senior Calvin Simon (Shakopee, Minn.) was broken up on an aggressive play by the Pitt secondary.

The Gorillas took over on offense with just over three minutes to play and successfully ran the clock out on Concordia.

The Most Valuable Players were Briceton Wilson on offense and Johnny Row on defense. Wilson rushed 21 times for a game-high 93 yards and a touchdown while Row had 12 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss and a half sack.

Pitt State’s Nate Dreiling led all defenders with 16 tackles and takes over as the national leader with 160.

Concordia’s inside linebackers keyed the Golden Bear defense all day. Senior Trevor Glomski (Wabasha, Minn.) and junior Al Quaye (Champlin, Minn.) each had 14 tackles which is the highest individual total for Concordia this season. The two linebackers were Concordia’s top two tackles for the season as well.

While the Gorillas had success on the ground, the Concordia secondary clamped down. Pitt State completed 3 of 12 for just 36 yards between their two quarterbacks, but Zac Dickey also rushed 15 times for 90 yards to supplement his 36 passing yards.

Offensively, Concordia had nearly 150 yards of offense in the first half but was stifled in the second half as they finished with just 198 yards of offense. Ohm completed 13-25 for 73 yards with a long of 22 but didn’t have anything going downfield. As a team, Concordia had four players attempt passes and they finished 14-28 for 100 yards.

On the ground, Campbell led the team with 15 rushes for 61 yards and finished with 939 yards on the season on the ground, the highest individual total since 2005. The team rushed for 98 yards on the day.

The game featured only 17 total first downs, with Concordia gaining nine of those, and both teams converted just 1-6 on third downs in the first half. Concordia only converted 1-5 in the second half while Pitt State converted five of their last nine.

Schoenberg had his best individual punting day of the year with six pounts for a 43.2 average, a long of 51, two inside the 20.

missouri western State 34 augustana College 21

Augustana’s attempt at a second-straight Mineral Water Bowl title and a school-record 9-win season came up short as the Vikings fell 34-21 to Missouri Western State in the 44th Mineral Water Bowl Saturday afternoon at Tiger Stadium in Excelsior Springs, Mo.

The Vikings, who defeated Missouri Western State 37-16 in last year’s Mineral Water Bowl, ended the season with an 8-4 record. MWSU finished with a 9-3 record.

The Griffons, making their third-straight appearance in the Mineral Water Bowl and seventh overall, took advantage of good field position, Viking turnovers and a win at their back to get out to a good start. MWSU converted a pair of Augie turnovers into two touchdowns to take a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.

Following an interception by David Bass who returned the ball to the Viking 9, Michael Hill scored from 4 yards out to give the Griffons an early 7-0 lead. On Augustana’s next possession, quarterback could not handle a low snap from center and Bass recovered the ball at the Augie 33. Five plays later, Drew Newhart found Adam Clausen for a 6-yard touchdown to push the MWSU lead to 14-0 with 3:35 left in the first quarter.

Midway through the second quarter, MWSU added to its lead. Taking over at their own 45, Newhart found Cedric Houston down the right sideline for a 55-yard strike to give the Griffons a 21-0 lead with 8:08 left before halftime.

With their wind at their back in the second quarter, Augustana answered quickly on its next drive. Luke Butler hooked up with Sam Holsen for an 81-yard scoring strike to cap a 3-play, 87-yard drive to make the score 21-7 with 7:21 left in the half. For Butler, it was his 26th touchdown pass of the season, giving him sole possession of the single-season record.

Missouri Western State added to its lead with a 40-yard field goal by Brad Beckwith with just 29 seconds left before intermission, but Holsen again answered with a big play. He took the ensuing kickoff and raced 76 yards before being tackled at the Griffon 2 with 18 seconds on the clock. Following an incomplete pass, Adam Diamond rumbled in from 2 yards out to cut the deficit to 24-14 at halftime.

In the third quarter, Missouri Western State again took advantage of good field position to stifle Augustana’s momentum. This time Newhart tossed a 15-yard scoring pass to Clausen to cap a 9-play, 60-yard drive and increase the lead to 31-14 with 8:05 left in the period.

But the Vikings responded two drives later. Taking over at their own 26, Butler and Holsen hooked up for a 55-yard gain on the first play of the drive to put the ball at the MWSU 19. Four plays later Butler scored from 1 yard out on a quarterback sneak to make it a 10-point game at 31-21 with 3:17 remaining in the quarter.

Missouri Western State appeared poised to put the game away when the Griffons forced a Viking turnover at the Augie 17. However, the Viking defense came up with a turnover of its own at the Viking 5.

With time not in their favor and pinned deep in its own territory, Nate Mahone busted loose for a 35-yard gain, giving the Vikings some breathing room at their own 40. But the drive stalled when Butler was sacked twice and knocked out of the game. On fourth and 17, the Griffons intercepted a pass from Tyler Schulte at the Viking 33.

Beckwith put the game out of reach moments later when he booted a 21-yard field goal with 1:27 left in the game.

Butler finished his final game in a Viking uniform with 201 yards passing after completing 10 of 28 passes with 2 interceptions. He was also sacked 6 times. Holsen picked up his third 100-yard receiving game of the season with 144 yards on just 4 catches. Mahone carried the ball 14 times for 84 yards to lead the Viking ground game. Joe Clark, who entered the game needing 105 yards to break his own single-season rushing record, was limited to just 10 yards before leaving the game in the second quarter with an injury.

As a team, Augustana had 313 yards of total offense, nearly equal to MWSU’s 322 yards. However, the Griffons won the turnover battle by a 5-2 margin.

Newhart, the game’s Offensive MVP, passed for 213 yards and 3 touchdowns on 16 of 35 passing. Cedric Houston had a team-high 107 yards receiving on 4 recptions.

Defensively, Brandon McMichael led the Vikings with 13 tackles, including 1.5 sacks. The sixth-year senior finished his career with 211 tackles. Chris Janisch also had 13 tackles for the Vikings.

MWSU’s Bass was named the Defensive MVP after finishing with 7 tackles, 1.5 sacks, an interception, fumble recovery and pass breakup.

Augustana College defeated Missouri Western 37-16 with a dominant second half in the 43rd Mineral Water Bowl Saturday afternoon at windy Tiger Stadium. Sophomore Joe Clark ran for 122 of Augustana’s 281 rushing yards and had two touchdown runs for the Vikings. Clark was named offensive MVP of the game.

It was tied 16-16 at halftime as holder Eric Anderson threw a 14 yard touchdown pass to Alvaro Prado on a fake field goal attempt with 4 seconds remaining.

Augustana’s aggressive, hard hitting defense sacked Griffon quarterbacks three times and had three interceptions, all in the second half. Missouri Western converted only 1 of 6 third downs after halftime and were shut down by the Vikings defense. Missouri Western controlled the ball for only 11 minutes while the Vikings rushing attack rolled to three second half touchdowns.

The Vikings won the opening toss and elected to take a wind that was roaring out of the north at over 20 mph. Missouri Western’s first series went 3 and out and Jamie Hanson’s punt was blocked, rolling out of bounds at the MWSU 37. Tyler Schulte opened the scoring six plays later with a six yard run at 11:17 of the first quarter.

A long Missouri Western drive was stopped on downs at the Augustana six. After the Vikings were unable to move the ball, Cedric Houston of the Griffons made a spectacular 54 yard punt return for a touchdown. Dustin Strickler’s extra point attempt was blocked and the Vikings held a 7-6 lead after a quarter.

Ryan Grossman of Augustana and Strickler from Western traded field goals in the second quarter. Clark scored on a 1 yard run to end an 8 play, 76 yard drive that gave the Vikings a 16-9 advantage until the Griffons scored on the late fake field goal.

A two yard quarterback sneak by Luke Butler with 8:16 left in the third quarter broke the tie and put Augustana in the lead 23-16. After Butler was injured early in the fourth quarter, Schulte replaced him at quarterback and provided a spark. His elusive running and a 38 yard screen pass to fullback Jeremy Huber led to Schulte’s 1 yard touchdown run and a 30-16 Viking lead. Clark scored his second touchdown on an eight yard run with 6:23 remaining for the game’s final score.

Augustana’s sophomore linebacker Andrew Keel was named defensive MVP of the game on the strength of his 11 tackles, a sack and a tackle for loss. Both starting quarterbacks had difficulty throwing in the windy conditions. Butler was 6 of 14 for 62 yards and Missouri Western’s Drew Newhart was 11 of 31 for 151 yards and two interceptions.

The win by the NSIC representative broke a 7 game MIAA winning streak in the bowl. The previous NSIC win was in 2000 when Winona State beat Missouri Western in triple overtime.

Missouri Western edged Wayne State 20-13 in the 42nd Mineral Water Bowl played on a cold, rainy and windy Saturday afternoon in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. MWSU finishes the season at 9-3 while Wayne State ends the season at 7-5, the first winning season for Wildcat football since 1995 and just the second post-season appearance in 91 years of WSC football.

The only score of the first half was by Missouri Western on the first play of the second quarter as Griffon freshman quarterback Drew Newhart tossed an 11-yard scoring strike to Andrew Mead, capping a 10-play, 94 yard drive, to give Missouri Western a 7-0 lead.

Wayne State gained some momentum midway through the second quarter when junior B.J. Campbell intercepted a MWSU pass at the WSC 30 and raced 32 yards to give the Wildcats the ball at the Griffon 38-yard line. However, WSC could not capital-ize on the strong field position as the Wildcats threw an interception in the end zone on 4th and 14 at the MWSU 42 for a touchback to end the scoring threat. After forcing Missouri Western to punt on a three and out on the next series, WSC moved the ball from their own 40-yard line to the Griffon 10-yard line before a Wildcat turnover ended the deepest drive of the first half for Wayne State with 3:43 to go in the first half. On a 3rd and 8 from the MWSU 19 yard line, Wildcat quarterback Silas Fluellen was hurdling a Griffon defender looking for extra yardage when he was hit hard and fumbled the ball as Missouri Western’s Ryan Long recovered the ball at the Griffon 11-yard line to end the scoring opportunity.

Wayne State tied the score on their second series of the third quarter as the Wildcats drove 91 yards on 11 plays to even the score at 7-7. Sophomore running back Eric Meyer capped the scoring drive with a 29-yard run with 5:39 to go in the third quarter to knot the score at 7-7. But Missouri Western countered with a score on the next drive as freshman running back La’Darrian Page broke several WSC tackles to highlight an

cut back across the field. He looped back into the end zone where he was stopped for the fifth safety recorded by the BSU defense this season.

Michael McDonald (Berkeley, Ill.) pulled BSU within nine points on a 37-yard field goal with 13:01 to play in the second quarter, the second-longest kick of his career.

From there, Pittsburg State would turn the ball over on all three of its possessions in the second quarter, with all three turnovers coming on its own side of midfield, to allow the Beavers a chance to fight back into the contest. The Gorillas fumbled on back-to-back offensive plays in the second, and Josh Rose (Stillwater, Minn.) ended the third Gorilla drive with an interception and a 27-yard return.

BSU failed to convert on the pair of fumbles, turning the ball over on downs after the first and seeing McDonald narrowly miss a 42-yard field goal after the second, but the Beavers were able to capitalize on the Rose interception. BSU assembled a five-play, 28-yard scoring drive which ended on a two-yard dive by Eurice Watson (Dayton, Ohio). The extra point helped BSU pull within two points, 14-12, and cap a streak of 12 unanswered points to end the half.

Wardrope led a 10-play, 60-yard touchdown drive, capped by his 10-yard touchdown scamper, to stake BSU to its first lead of the contest, and a two-point coversion pass from Wardrope to Dan Nagengast (Plymouth, Minn.) put BSU on top 20-14.

Pittsburg State answered with a big return from Pray on the ensuing kickoff, and Race capped a five-play drive with a seven-yard touchdown run with 6:54 to go in the third. The extra point put the Gorillas back on top by a point, 21-20.

The Beavers assembled a 14-play drive to answer and drove as far as the Pittsburg State seven-yard line, but a delay of game penalty and a personal foul drove the Beavers back to a 50-yard field goal attempt. McDonald was short on the attempt and Bryan McMurtrey returned the missed kick 37 yards to start the Gorillas at their own 39-yard line.

Geno Waters found Deerek Ryan for a 41-yard pass down the middle of the field on the first play of the ensuing Gorilla posssession, and Race scored from 16 yards out on the next play to help put the Gorillas ahead 28-20 and essentially seal the victory.

Bemidji State, which committed 14 penalties for 115 yards on the afternoon, saw penalties derail several opportunities to reverse its fortunes in the fourth quarter. The Beavers converted a fake punt with 8:38 to play to leave the Beavers at midfield, but a dead-ball personal foul pushed the ball back 15 yards and Watson would later fumble at midfield to end the threat.

On the following Pittsburg State drive, the Gorillas drove down to the BSU 21-yard line, and Race scored on the next play to help push the Pittsburg State lead to 35-20.

James Moore scored from one yard out to cap a six-play, 80-yard scoring drive sparked by a 55-yard completion from Wardrope to Danny Rodgers (Plymouth, Minn.) with 3:21 to play, but the Gorillas ran out the clock after taking the kickoff and sealed the eight-point victory.

Missouri Western won its third Mineral Water Bowl championship with a 35-23 victory over Concordia, St. Paul Saturday at frigid Tiger Stadium. Western’s junior quarterback Michael Burton tied a bowl record with four touchdown passes to win the Offensive Most Valuable Player award and Concordia’s junior defensive end Eric Power was voted the Defensive MVP of the 40th Mineral Water Bowl.

The Griffons overcame a 7-0 Concordia lead with 21 second quarter points, 14 in the last 34 seconds of the first half. A 46 yard pass from Burton to Jarrett Brooks midway through the quarter ignited the Western offense as Jeremiah White scored on a ten yard run on the following play. Concordia’s senior quarterback James McNear had the first score of the game with a 23 yard run at 9:29 of the first quarter. McNear needed 285 yards of total offense to become the NCAA Division II career leader in that category but was held to 240 yards, 86 rushing and 154 passing.

A fumble on the kick return after Western’s second touchdown, an 11 yard pass from Burton to Gijon Robinson, led to a 15 yard Burton to Brandon Hale touchdown with 7 seconds left to give the Griffons a 21-7 halftime lead. But Concordia went 70 yards in 8 plays to score early in the

2007 NSIC/mIaa mineral water Bowl (Cont)impressive 55-yard scoring run to give the Griffons a 14-7 lead with 4:37 remaining

in the third quarter. The Griffons increased their lead to 17-7 as MWSU placekicker Dustin Strickler booted a wind-aided 48-yard field goal with 1:40 left in the third quarter, matching the longest field goal in Mineral Water Bowl history.

Following a second straight three and out by Wayne State, the Griffons used a 30-yard field goal from Strickler to put the Griffons in front 20-7 with 13:32 remaining in the game. Wayne State answered on the following drive as the Wildcats drove 68 yards on 10 plays to cut the Missouri Western lead to 20-13 with 10:50 to go in the game. Fluellen threw a six-yard scoring pass to sophomore Aaron Nielsen, who was in the game as an extra blocking back, for his first career reception and a touchdown. The PAT kick by Nick Hope was no good to keep the score 20-13.

The Wayne State defense forced a Griffon turnover on the series as Nick Baldetti recovered the Missouri Western fumble at the Griffon 39-yard line with 9:28 left in the game. The Wildcats moved the ball to the MWSU nine-yard line, but a Silas Fluellen pass intended for Robert Perry near the goal line was intercepted by Missouri Western’s Kendall Davis to thwart the possible game-tying score by the Wildcats. Missouri Western then drove the ball to the Wildcat 19-yard line before fumbling the ball back to Wayne State as sophomore linebacker Ryan Reeves recovered the ball to give the ‘Cats the ball with 4:22 to go in the game.

WSC moved the ball to the Missouri Western 17 yard line with 1:12 to go, but on a 4th and 4 Fluellen’s pass to Frederick Bruno fell incomplete as the Griffons held the Wildcats to preserve the win.

Missouri Western finished the game with a slight edge in total offense over Wayne State 395-388. WSC had 181 yards rushing and 207 yards passing. The top rusher for WSC was sophomore quarterback Silas Fluellen with 75 yards on 15 carries followed by Travis Rhone with 67 yards on 20 attempts. Fluellen completed 22 of 43 for 207 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. His favorite target was Logan Masters with 11 receptions for 119 yards. The sophomore from Storm Lake, Iowa has now made at least two catches in all 23 games played in his Wildcat career.

For Missouri Western, freshman La’Darrian Page rushed for 147 yards on just 15 carries and scored one touchdown to be named Mineral Water Bowl Game MVP. Grif-fon quarterback Drew Newhart completed 14 of 29 passing with one interception and one touchdown for 146 yards.

Wayne State’s top tacklers were senior linebacker Nick Baldetti and sophomore linebacker Ryan Reeves with eight tackles apiece. Reeves and Baldetti each had a fumble recovery with B.J. Campbell recording an interception for the Wildcats.

Pittsburg State’s Germaine Race rushed 33 times for 183 yards and four touchdowns, becoming NCAA DII’s all-time rushing leader and leading PSU to a 35-27 victory.

Race’s 183 yards gave him 6,985 yards for his four-year career, moving past Emporia State’s Brian Shay, who rushed for 6,958 yards for the Hornets. His four touchdowns capped a career which saw him become the leading scorer in the history of college football, in all divisions, with 658 career points scored. Race is the first player in the history of college football to score 600 or more career points and score more than 100 touchdowns.

Three of Race’s four touchdowns in the contest came in the third and fourth quarters, after BSU had assembled a run of 20 unanswered points to take a 20-14 lead on a 10-yard run by Cory Wardrope with 9:41 to play in the third quarter. Race’s four touchdowns scored tied a Mineral Water Bowl record set in 1948 by Don Cazzell of Excelsior Springs High School when the contest served as a bowl game for Missouri high schools.

Race helped the Gorillas rally with runs of seven, 16 and 21 yards as the Gorillas pulled away to a 35-20 advantage late in the fourth quarter.

Pittsburg State got off to a quick start, building a 14-0 lead just five minutes into the contest. The Gorillas forced a three-and-out on BSU’s game-opening possession, then responded to the punt with a six-play, 62-yard touchdown drive which culminated in a six-yard run by Race.

The Gorillas forced a second three-and-out, and needed just one play to score after the BSU punt. Geno Waters immediately found Bryan Pray down the middle of the field for a 44-yard touchdown strike, and the PAT helped the Gorillas build a 14-0 lead.

From there, however, BSU’s fortunes began to improve on both sides of the football. The Beavers got on the scoreboard for the first time of the afternoon with a safety, stopping Race in the end zone. Following a BSU punt which left the Gorillas pinned at their own one-yard line, Pittsburg State pushed out to their own 14-yard line. Race carried to the left and ran into traffic, and attempted to

tossed to receiver Antwon Williams who then threw to freshman Tyrone Ruffin alone in the end zone. The Golden Bears seemed to be driving for the tying touchdown on their next possession but senior linebacker Tony Matzke made a key stop on Aaron Cawthorn’s third down run at the Western 2 forcing a 20 yard Brody Johnson field goal. Western maintained a 21-17 with three minutes left in the third quarter.

The defensive hold sparked the Griffons offense as they scored on drives of 71 and 36 yards early in the fourth quarter. Burton threw touchdown passes to Brooks and Hale to give the Griffons a 35-17 lead. McNear led the Golden Bears on one more scoring drive as he hit senior tight end Nate Harrington with a 9 yard touchdown pass with 1:37 left in the game. The pass attempt for a two point conversion was intercepted by defensive end Kyle Knighton making the score 35-23.

Missouri Western’s junior tailback Jeremiah White was the game’s leading rusher with 132 yards on 21 carries. Burton was 17 of 36 passing for 196 yards and an interception. Western’s Jarrett Brooks and Brandon Hale each had four receptions as did Concordia’s Tyrone Ruffin. Golden Bear linebacker Travis Johansen had 12 tackles, 2.5 for loss while Griffon linebacker Leon Douglas had 9, 2 for loss. The teams were nearly even in total offense as Missouri Western had 305 yards, Concordia 297.

Northern State 33

The first Mineral Water Bowl at Tiger Stadium may have been the best ever. Northern State rallied for 30 second half points to tie the game 33-33 with 1:41 left in the fourth quarter. But Washburn senior quarterback Tyler Schuerman went 3 of 6 for 46 yards and added a 13 yard run as the Ichabods drove from their own 20 to the Northern State 15. With 4 seconds left sophomore kicker, Conner Sabel, drilled a 32 yard field goal to give Washburn a 36-33 win.

It was a game of big plays and big numbers as three Mineral Water Bowl records were shattered and two were tied. Northern State sophomore quarterback Toby Korrodi broke two records with 33 completions and 422 passing yards while throwing touchdown passes of 49, 42 and 19 yards in the Wolves second half comeback. Ichabod quarterback Schuerman tied a record with four touchdown passes and surpassed the previous record with 400 passing yards. Washburn junior wideout Sam Sissom shattered the previous receiving record with 216 yards and tied the old record with 11 receptions.

Washburn owned the first half 20-3 as the Wolves offense sputtered and the Ichabods were able to mount three touchdown drives. Schuerman threw touchdown passes of 11 yards to Sissom, 53 yards to Mike Odupitan and 19 yards to Jarod Tetuan while Northern State could manage only a 25 yard field goal from Clinton Arial.

Northern State went 69 yards on three plays to open the second half as Korrodi and tight end Chuck Driscoll connected for a 42 yard catch and run

to make the score 20-10 early in the third quarter. Korrodi got the Wolves to within three on an 11 play 80 yard drive scoring drive late in the quarter as Rudy Jones scored on a 2 yard run.

Washburn scored twice on long drives of 93 and 95 yards early in the fourth and led by 16, 33-17 with 7:29 left. But the Wolves responded with a quick 9 play, 76 yard drive and two point conversion to trail by only eight. The Northern defense held Wasburn to a three and out then the offense went 71 yards in 35 seconds as Korrodi and senior Matt Pinto connected from 49 yards out. A two point pass to Travis Heitmann tied it at 33 before the game winning Washburn scoring drive.

The Offensive M.V.P. was Sam Sissom for his record breaking perfor-mance and the Defensive M.V.P. was Washburn defensive back Calvin Stuckey who had two interceptions. Attendance was estimated at about 4,000, the largest in the new era of the bowl since 1992.Offensive MVP: Sam Sissom, Wide Receiver, WashburnDefensive MVP: Calvin Stuckey, Defensive Back, Washburn

Junior running back Tyler Paul scored his third touchdown of the game in overtime, and sophomore defensive back Luke Waller broke up a fourth-and-8 pass to seal Emporia State’s 34-27 win over Winona State in the 37th Mineral Water Bowl.

Paul’s touchdown capped a big day, as he rushed for 224 yards on 40 carries and earned the game’s Offensive Most Valuable Player award. The Hornets (9-3, 6-3 MIAA) answered a 24-point rally by the Warriors (8-4, 8-1 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference) with a game-tying, 28-yard field goal by sophomore placekicker Justin Gray with two seconds left in regulation.

Emporia State had the first possession in overtime, and Paul lost 2 yards on first down. Sophomore quarterback Tad Hatfield then connected with junior wide receiver Andre Day for a first down at the Winona State 13. Paul gained 3 yards on first down to the 10, and followed up with a sweep around the left end to the end zone.

The Warriors appeared to have lost the game on their first play, but an interception by senior defensive back Larry Randle was wiped out by a pass interference penalty. With the ball on the Emporia State 12, running back Kevin Curtin of Winona gained two yards, then Bruce Carpenter threw a pair of incompletions to set up fourth-and-8. Carpenter was looking for Jeff Dobbertin on the right side, but Waller was able to get a hand on the pass to end the game.

Emporia State had a 10-0 lead in the first half, with Paul scoring from 31 yards and Gray banging through a 38-yard field goal. Winona’s Steve Opgenorth kicked a 21-yard field goal as time expired in the first half to make it 10-3.

The Hornets’ lead grew to 24-3 in the third quarter as senior wide receiver Ryan Johnson took a reverse 4 yards to paydirt, and Paul scored his second touchdown capping an 11-yard drive set up by a fumble by Carpenter.

The Warriors’ first touchdown came with 2:07 left in the third, when Carpenter connected on a 42-yard pass to wide receiver Adam Lilla. Their next score came on the heels of a interception thrown by Hatfield as the Hornets were deep in Winona State territory, as Winona capped a 7-play, 88-yard drive with a 49-yard pass from Carpenter to wide receiver Chris Samp to make it 24-17.

Winona State tied it on a third long pass play from Carpenter, this time connecting with Dobbertin for 54 yards to make it 24-24 with 10:38 left in regulation.

Paul fumbled on the first play on Emporia’s ensuing drive, giving Winona the ball on the Hornets’ 27, but the Emporia State defense held. Opgenorth drilled a 36-yard field goal to give the Warriors their first and only lead of the game, 27-24, with 8:54 left.

Opgenorth had a chance to increase the lead with 5:47 left, but he missed a 31-yard try wide right. Emporia State drove into Winona territory on the following drive, but a second Paul fumble, recovered by defensive back Luke Lokanc, stopped the effort with 3:20 remaining. Lokanc was selected as the game’s Defensive Most Valuable Player with 13 tackles (five solos), one interception and the fumble recovery.

Pierre Thomas took the ensuing kickoff 58 yards to the 28-yard line On third and eight, Cooper hit Fields for 25 yards to the 1-yard line. Following a 2-yard loss, Pitts took the ball around left end and put the ball just past the goal line for the touchdown as Missouri Western regained the lead, 17-14, with 8:04 remaining.

With 4:36 on the clock, the Griffons intercepted a McNear pass on the 13-yard line. Cooper found Fields in the endzone to go up 24-14 with 2:53 remaining. The touchdown proved to be too much for Concordia to overcome.

Washington was named Offensive Most Valuable Player, racking up 106 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown and four receptions for 58 yards. McNear was 21-38 for 250 yards, but intercepted three times. Joseph Mapson caught eight passes for 76 yards, returned three kickoffs for 51 yards, and intercepted one pass while recording a solo tackle. Johansen led the defensive effort for the Bears, recording ten tackles. Doyle added seven tackles, one sack, and two forced fumbles.Offensive MVP: Chris Washington, Concordia-St. PaulDefensive MVP: Eric McDowell, Western Missouri State

The Central Missouri State Mules won their first postseason game since 1950, when they captured the 36th Mineral Water Bowl with a 48-17 win over Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference runner-up Minnesota Duluth.

The bowl win marked the first time in school history a Mules football team had reached 10 victories. Their last postseason victory came in the Mirza Shrine Bowl at Pittsburg, Kan., when they downed Pittsburg State, 32-21.

The Mules jumped out to a 20-0 lead on the Bulldogs after one quarter. Junior wide receiver Todd Devoe grabbed two touchdown passes, one from junior wide receiver Don Robinson on a flanker option for 39 yards and the other from junior quarterback Dennis Gile that went for a Mineral Water Bowl-record 99 yards. In between, sophomore running back Lee Thompson was able to cash in from 10 yards.

Minnesota Duluth rallied to cut the Mules lead in half just minutes into the second quarter. After getting a 75-yard return on the kickoff following Devoe’s second touchdown, the Bulldogs scored on a 2-yard run by RB Andrew Bungum. Minnesota Duluth then executed an onside kick and recovered at the Bulldog 45. The Bulldogs moved the ball as far as the Mules 20, before settling for a 37-yard field goal by Chad Gerlach to make it 20-10 with 12:27 left in the first half.

The Mules had an answer, going 71 yards in six plays, with junior tight end Mike Carter catching a Gile pass for a 9-yard score. Gile hooked up with junior wide receiver Nate Thomas on a 39-yard completion to set up the touchdown.

The defenses got into the scoring act late in the quarter. UMD linebacker Adam Skinner picked up a Gile fumble and put the Bulldogs back within 10 on a 32-yard return to make it 27-17 with 6:09 left in the period.

Minnesota Duluth returned the favor when Central senior LB Greg Zerr scooped up a fumble by wide receiver Tim Battaglia, who was attempting a flanker pass, and ran 19 yards to make 34-17, where it stood at halftime.

Central wrapped up the scoring with Thompson scoring his second touchdown of the game on a 5-yard run, and junior defensive back Joey Robinson returning an interception 80 yards for a touchdown. Robinson picked off Minnesota Duluth linebacker Patrick Paulson, who attempted to pass after recovering a fumble by quarterback Erik Anderson.

Devoe set a bowl record with 163 receiving yards and earned Offensive MVP honors. Robinson had three pass breakups to go with his interception return to pick up the Defensive MVP. Central Missouri State out-gained Minnesota Duluth, 485-188.Offensive MVP: Todd Devoe, Wide Receiver - CMUDefensive MVP: Joey Robinson, DB - Central Missouri State

2002 mIaa/NSIC mineral water Bowl (Cont)Winona stalled on the ensuing possession, punting back to Emporia State with

2:44 left. With no time outs left, Hatfield marched the Hornets downfield. He was 7-for-9 passing for 55 yards and added 16 rushing yards to get Gray in field goal range with six seconds left. The Warriors tried to ice Gray with back-to-back timeouts, but to no avail, as the kicker sent the game to overtime for the second time in three seasons.

Hatfield was 22-of-44 for 236 yards and two interceptions, with Day getting 11 catches for 112 yards. Carpenter was 17-of-40 for 330 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, and Samp had five catches for 145 yards and a score. Dobbertin caught six balls for 110 yards and a touchdown.

Ironically, Winona State won the other Mineral Water Bowl overtime game in 2000, 43-41 in three extra periods, over Missouri Western. Emporia’s win gives the MIAA a 2-1 edge in the bowl since they started facing NSIC schools.Offensive MVP: Tyler Paul, Running Back, Emporia State Defensive MVP: Luke Lokanc, Defensive Back, Winona State

Concordia-St. paul 14

Concordia-St. Paul fell to Missouri Western State 24-14 in the 38th annual Mineral Water Bowl, the final game at historic Roosevelt Stadium.

After receiving the opening kickoff, Concordia’s drive stalled and was forced to punt. Missouri Western State safety Pierre Thomas returned the punt to the Golden Bear’s 43-yard line. He followed that up with a reverse for eight yards on the first play from scrimmage. After a failed third down, Missouri Western kicker Dane Broadie drilled a 40-yard field goal to put the Griffons on top 3-0.

Concordia-St. Paul responded with a first down completion to Joseph Mapson. After the Griffon defense pushed Concordia back to the 32-yard line with a pair of sacks, the Bears attempted a 49-yard field goal to tie the score, but Brody Johnson’s kick fell short.

The first quarter ended with a 3-0 Western lead. With 5:32 remaining in the half, the Griffons stopped Concordia on downs. Western Missouri came out throwing as Michael Cooper hit Jon Schoonover for 42 yards, setting up a chance to extend their lead before halftime. On the next play, Cooper hit Erick Fields for a 15-yard touchdown for a 10-0 lead.

Concordia-St. Paul found their offense as James McNear hit Chris Washington and Mapson on back-to-back screen plays covering 55 yards to the Western 19-yard line. McNear misfired on first down. After a second down penalty, McNear hit Wesley Hill in the endzone but the ball was tipped and Missouri Western linebacker Chris Eads intercepted with just 55 seconds remaining in the half.

Trying to add to their lead before halftime, Westerberg fired a pass down field to Erick Fields but Concordia-St. Paul safety James Dell picked off the pass to end the drive with seven seconds left in the half.

Holding a 10-0 lead, the Griffons returned the opening kickoff 48 yards to the 49-yard line to start the third quarter. The Golden Bear defense held Western Missouri and forced a punt. After a couple of penalties and a punt, McNear fumbled on the 44-yard line, giving the Griffons great field position. Once again, the Concordia defense held, but the Griffons pinned the Golden Bears on the two yard line.

Deep in their own territory, Washington broke loose for a 44-yard run. On third and five, Hill hauled in McNear’s pass on the 20-yard line and sprinted to the 3-yard line for a 44-yard completion. On first and goal, Washington powered into the endzone, putting Concordia on the scoreboard at 10-7.

A Joseph Mapson interception in the endzone gave the Golden Bears the ball. As they marched down the field, McNear fired a bullet to Devan Grell for a 14-yard gain on third down. Washington broke a 22-yard run down to the Missouri Western 27-yard line. The Griffons held the Golden Bears on a third down and Concordia-St. Paul was unable to tie the score as Johnson’s 37-yard field goal attempt went wide left.

With under 12 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Brian Doyle forced Cooper to fumble while recording the sack. Dusty Kalis recovered and returned the ball to the Griffon 42-yard line.

After two incomplete passes to Washington, McNear hit Grell for a 22-yard gain. McNear hit Mapson on the sideline and he was forced out at the 10-yard line. On second and goal from the 12, McNear took off for the endzone, putting the Golden Bears up 14-10.

The Mineral Water Bowl has had more than its share of close games and exciting finishes but the bowl had never before experienced an overtime game. The 2000 Mineral Water Bowl proved to be a game for the ages as it took three overtime periods to decide the final outcome when the Warriors from Winona State University defeated the Griffons of Missouri Western State College, 43-41.

Ryan Reed’s 1-yard touchdown run less than two minutes into the first quarter followed an interception by Missouri Western safety Chad Smith on the third play of the game and gave the Griffons an early 7-0 lead. Then in the second quarter Missouri Western quarterback Kasey Waterman hit wide receiver Jerris Evans with a 26-yard strike as Missouri Western jumped out to an early 14-point lead. Then Winona State redshirt fresh-man quarterback Andy Nett and sophomore wide receiver Jeff Dobbertin connected for a 34-yard touchdown late in the second quarter to make it 14-7 Griffons at halftime.

Winona State freshman free safety Nick Jaeger’s 35-yard interception return for a touchdown in the opening seconds of the second half pulled the Warriors even at 14 and gave the Minnesota River Valley team the momentum. When Winona State junior running back Ryan Walch hit Dob-bertin with a 54-yard option pass later in the third quarter the Warriors took their first lead of the day, 21-14. Winona State’s ability to run the football (20 rushes - 275 yards) set up the Warrior passing attack (171 yards) and kept the ball out of Waterman’s hands - the ever dangerous Griffon signal caller. But with four minutes left in the fourth quarter Waterman led the Griffons on an 80-yard game tying drive that ended with Ryan Reed scoring his second rushing touchdown of the game.

When regulation time expired the score was tied at 21. Then the drama of the triple overtime thriller began. Winona State scored on the opening possession when freshman runningback Curtis Jepsen slipped into the end zone on a 3-yard run to give Winona State a 28-21 lead. The Griffons responded on the very next play when Evans caught a 25-yard pass from Waterman to tie the score at 28. Missouri Western took a 35-28 lead on Sterling Finney’s 21-yard touchdown catch in the second overtime, but Walch capped off a six-play series with a 1-yard Warrior touchdown to force the third extra session as the score was tied at 35. Then on fourth and 12 at the Griffons 27 yard line, Nett hit sophomore wide receiver Adam Lilla near the sideline with a 17-yard pass to give Winona State a new set of downs and set up the final dramatic plays.

Winona State receiver Jeff Dobbertin took full advantage of the new life giving to his team and leaped in the endzone for one of his patented touchdown catches from 11-yards out as Nett and he connected to give WSU a 43-35 lead in the third overtime. Dobbertin and Nett hooked up one more time for the two-point conversion to push the Warrior command to 43-35. Missouri Western answered Winona State on their third overtime possession with an 8-yard run by runningback Matt Smith. However, on the final play of the game, Smith dove to his left for the two-point conver-sion pass from Waterman to tie the game but could not come up with the football as Winona State was victorious in their first-ever Division II postseason game, 43-41.Offensive MVP: Kevin Curtin, Running Back - Winona StateDefensive MVP: Nick Jaeger, Free Safety - Winona State

Because Ross Fortier wouldn’t say no, the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Confer-ence Metrodome Football Classic sprang to life in 1983, creating opportunities and memories for players and coaches that will stretch well into the next millennium. As the past Athletic Director and head football coach at Minnesota State University Moorhead, Fortier had long envisioned a special environment for the final weekend of the college football season, and he also felt it would benefit teams advancing to post-season play as well.

“I just thought it would be nice for the players and coaches to finish the season at the Metrodome,” Fortier explained. “We had always wanted to play a game in Minneapolis, and a game in the Dome would help all of us with scheduling, too. Back then we had a seven-team league, and scheduling was a problem for a lot of teams.”

Fortier floated the idea to fellow NSIC football coaches, and they quickly backed his proposal, but the entire project ended up on Fortier’s desk. Fortier drew on his military background as a high ranking officer (later a general) in the Minnesota

National Guard to address all the vexing logistical and operational hurdles, and soon a working blueprint was in place. Dr. David Rislove of Winona State University was Executive Director of the NSIC at the time, and he remembers when the Fortier plan was introduced.

“The football coaches were for it, of course, and the A.D.s (athletic directors) went along with it, but the faculty representatives were skeptical. It was scary, the thought of having to coming up with $15,000 in seed money. There was a lot of skepticism that we couldn’t come up with enough money to pay the bills.”

“Ross was certainly the proponent behind the Classic, and the more he talked the more I became convinced it was a good deal for the conference. Eventually the rest of the faculty reps came around and approved it. We had some great games the first year, and we cleared about $50,000.”

“It was fabulous, but you should have seen the arguing the next day at the meeting with everyone trying to decide how to split up the profit nobody expected,” Rislove laughed.
