Montclair State 10, New Jersey City 6
JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Montclair State took a 10-0 lead into halftime and held on to defeat New Jersey City 10-6 at the Thomas M. Gerrity Athletic Complex. In the process, Montclair State (6-2, 5-0) kept alive its 10-game New Jersey Athletic Conference winning streak heading into next weekend's meeting with Rowan, which will decide the 2000 NJAC championship.

The Red Hawks got on the board first with 4:43 remaining in the opening quarter. Junior quarterback Ed Collins connected with wideout Jamel Dorsey from 10 yards out, and MSU led 7-0 after the extra point. It was Dorsey's seventh touchdown of the year, and his only catch of the game.

With 3:46 remaining in the second quarter sophomore kicker Brent Grablachoff converted a 26-yard field goal to account for the remaining Red Hawk scoring.

The Gothic Knights (2-7, 1-4) had an opportunity to score earlier in the second quarter after junior running back Frankie Sinclair rumbled 75 yards to the MSU 11-yard line on the first play of NJCU's first possession in the second quarter. The drive ended after the Knights' 29-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright and bounced back towards the field at 12:57.

In the third quarter, Montclair State had the chance to score again, but could not connect on a 32-yard kick on the opening drive of the second half. The Red Hawks were forced to kick after junior safety Duane Dates, the reigning NJAC Defensive Player of the Week, broke up what would have been a Montclair touchdown at the NJCU 4-yard line. MSU later missed a 32-yarder with 45 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

NJCU made a game of it in the fourth quarter when senior tailback Daniel Harrison scored his fourth touchdown of the season with 11:16 remaining in the game to cap a 10-play, 80-yard drive that spanned 4:29. NJCU cut the lead to 10-6 after the point-after failed.

After the NJCU defense again held off MSU, the Knights drove as far as the Red Hawk 28-yard line. But, on third and 13 with 4:45 remaining in the game, Montclair's Ron Broking recorded a 15-yard sack to end NJCU's drive.

The NJCU defense again held off Montclair at midfield, and the Knights had the ball back with 52 seconds to play. But, on their first play Darren Miller was intercepted to end any further scoring threat. MSU improves to 31-1 in the all-time series between these two schools, dating to 1969.

SAN ANTONIO -- Backup sophomore quarterback Cory Schwartz threw five touchdown passes to lead the 15th-ranked Trinity University Tigers to a 43-26 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference victory Saturday over  Sewanee at E.M. Stevens Stadium.

Trinity (8-1 and 4-1 SCAC), which racked up a season-high in points, clinched a share of the SCAC title, its eighth straight.

Linfield 24, Whitworth 21
SPOKANE, Wash. -- Scott Cannon's 31-yard field goal with 4:40 to play gave 10th-ranked Linfield a 24-21 victory over Whitworth in a Northwest Conference game on Saturday afternoon at the Whitworth Pine Bowl.

The win moves the Wildcats to 8-0 overall and 4-0 in the NWC, within one game of their first conference title since 1994.  Whitworth had its four-game winning streak come to an end and fell to 5-3 overall and 2-2 in the NWC. Whitworth came back from a 21-7 first half deficit to tie the game 21-21 early in the fourth quarter.  Scott Biglin passed 31 yards to Josh Salina for the game-tying touchdown with 14:07 to play.

Linfield had three opportunities to go ahead after the tying touchdown.  After the Pirates kicked off, Linfield drove to the Whitworth 19-yard line.  Curt Musser passed to Luke Buchheit at the Pirate 10-yard line, but Buchheit was stripped of the football by Whitworth's Sky Blake and Ian Sanders recovered for the Pirates, returning the ball to the 20-yard line.

Three plays later Biglin was intercepted on the Pirate 32-yard line by Kevin Linderman, who returned the ball to the Pirate 25.  Linfield gained five yards in three plays and Cannon tried a 37-yard field goal which missed to the left.
The Pirates were forced to punt three plays later and Pirate punter Paul Alejo mishandled the snap.  He was able to complete a short pass to Joel Robnett, but Linfield took over again with a first down at the Pirate 20-yard line.

The Pirate defense again held at its 13-yard line, but this time Cannon connected from 31 yards for the go-ahead score.

Robnett returned the kickoff 40 yards to the Whitworth 47-yard line on the ensuing kickoff.  But the Pirates misfired on three straight passes and elected to punt with four minutes to play.

Linfield was able to run the clock out behind the strong running of Marty Williams.  Starting at their own 20-yard line, Linfield drove to the Whitworth 24-yard line when time ran out.  Williams carried seven times for 50 of his game-high 110 yards during the drive.  Three of those rushes gave the Wildcats a first down.

Whitworth opened the scoring with 6:32 left in the first quarter on a 25-yard touchdown pass from Biglin to Dwayne Tawney.

But Linfield answered with a scoring drive of its own.  David Russel returned the kickoff 34 yards into Pirate territory at the 38-yard line.  Five plays later Williams scored from 4 yards out to tie the game.

The Wildcats benefited from a key Whitworth penalty on their next drive.  A defensive holding penalty on a Linfield punt gave the Wildcats an automatic first down at the Whitworth 33-yard line.  Three plays later Musser hit John Nosler from 35 yards out for another Wildcats touchdown with 14:09 left in the half.

Musser and Nosler connected again, this time on a 67-yard bomb with 3:33 left in the half to give Linfield a 21-7 lead.

But the Pirates responded with a scoring drive just before the half.  Biglin found Ty McGregor for a 40-yard touchdown pass with :35 to play to pull Whitworth within 21-14.

After a defensive third quarter, Whitworth got a break.  Whitworth defensive end Shane Lyman hit Williams in the backfield at the Wildcat 33-yard line and stripped the ball, taking it to the Linfield 26-yard line.  Three plays and a false start later, Biglin hit Salina to tie the game.

Linfield had a 391-280 advantage in total yards.  Williams finished with 110 yards on 29 carries, with a touchdown.  The Wildcats outgained the Pirates 199-68 on the ground.

Musser was 11 of 24 with two touchdowns and an interception.  Nosler led the Wildcats with four catches for 117 yards and two scores.

Biglin finished 13 of 28 for 207 yards, with three touchdowns and one interception.  McGregor caught eight passes for 116 yards and a touchdown to lead the Pirates.

Linfield can wrap up an undefeated season and the conference championship with a win over Willamette at home next Saturday.  Whitworth can match its best record since 1990 with a win at Lewis & Clark next week.

Moravian 28, Wilkes 21
Moravian rallied from a 14-point first quarter deficit to knock off Wilkes 28-21 before a crowd of 1,750 at Ralston Field on Saturday afternoon.  The win improves the Greyhounds to 6-3, while Wilkes falls to 5-4. 

The Colonels' defense set up their first score when Justin Holmes intercepted a Charlie Bowden pass, one of seven Moravian turnovers, and returned it 20 yards to the Greyhound 40.  On first down, Jeff Marshman connected with Brian Miller on a 40-yard touchdown pass to give Wilkes the lead.  Ian Silverman kicked the extra point and Wilkes had a 7-0 lead with 9:56 left in the first quarter.

The Wilkes defense again lent a hand to the offense on the Greyhounds next possession.  Faced with a first-and-ten from their own 31 following the kickoff, Moravian handed the ball to P.J. Jankowicz.  Jankowicz was hit by Wilkes linebacker Mike DaRe, and fumbled the football.  Mark Hendry came up with the recovery for the Colonels at the Moravian 35. Two plays later, Marshman hit Frank McCabe on a timing pattern in the corner of the end zone for the score with 8:25 still remaining in the first stanza.  Silverman's point after gave Wilkes a 14-0 lead.

The Greyhounds would get on the scoreboard in the second stanza, marching 84 yards on 18 plays, in a drive that consumed 8:40 off the clock.  Tim Barlok carried seven times for 23 yards on the drive, while Bowden connected on five-of-six pass attempts for 30 yards, with the key play a 6-yard toss to Josh Fick on a fourth-and-four play from the Wilkes 27.  The Greyhounds, who also received a 15-yard pass interference penalty on Wilkes during the drive, scored when Bowden called his own number from 1 yard out with 3:15 left in the first half.  Jim McIntyre kicked the extra point to close the gap to 14-7 at intermission.

Following a scoreless third quarter, the Greyhounds tied the game with 14:34 left in the game.  Alex Myshak boomed a 46-yard punt for Moravian that pinned Wilkes on their own 1-yard line on the first play of the final stanza.  On first down, Marshman tried to go down the sideline, but his pass was intercepted and returned 21 yards by Nate Pogue down to the Colonel 1.  On the first play following the pick Dave Darmofal plunged in for the touchdown.  McIntyre's extra point knotted the game at 14-14.

Moravian took their first lead of the game when Wilkes was forced to punt from their own 2-yard line.  Mike Walk's punt traveled only 27 yards, and was fielded by Michael Abbate.  Abbate streaked straight up the middle and into the end zone with 9:47 left in the game.  McIntyre's extra point put the visitors ahead 21-14.

Taking over on their 13 following the ensuing kickoff, the Colonels marched the distance in 11 plays for the tying score.  Marshman hit on five-of-six pass attempts in the drive for 72 yards, capping the drive with his school-record 21st touchdown pass of the season, a 13-yard strike to Miller with 5:48 left.  Silverman's extra point tied the game at 21-21. 

Moravian was unable to move on their next possession and punted, giving Wilkes the ball at their own 25 with 3:30 left.  After Rogers rumbled for two yards on first down, Marshman's pass attempt was intercepted by J.D. Rhinehart at the 23.  But, on Moravian's first play from scrimmage, Bowden attempted to scramble and fumbled.  DaRe came up with the recovery for Wilkes at the 23 with 2:43 left.

After another short punt and a personal foul penalty, Bowden hit Ed Hughes for a 15-yard gain to the Wilkes eight.  Barlok then carried for 2 yards on first down, and into the end zone on the second play for the game-winning score with 1:11 left.  McIntyre tacked on the extra point to make it 28-21. 

Bowden completed 21 of 37 pass attempts for 240 yards for the Greyhounds.  Abbate had eight receptions for 90 yards to lead the Moravian receivers.  Marshman was 19-for-33 for 262 yards and three scores.  James had four catches for 88 yards, McCabe had four catches for 51 yards and one score, while Miller had three receptions for 59 yards and two touchdowns.  Barlok carried 18 times for 46 yards to lead the Moravian ground attack, while Rogers carried 19 times for 58 yards for Wilkes.

J.D. Rhinehart and John Cupples had a game-high 11 tackles apiece for the Moravian defense.  Justin Holmes, Jermaine Richardson and Mark Hendry each had eight tackles, while Demetri Tzovolos and Brian Bader added seven tackles for Wilkes.  Richardson had a game-leading four tackles for loss to go along with a fumble recovery.

Pacific Lutheran 33, Southern Oregon 0
ASHLAND, Ore. -- Pacific Lutheran scored on two of its first three possessions and never looked back en route to a 33-0 blanking of NAIA No. 15 Southern Oregon University at Raider Stadium this afternoon.

Needing victories in both remaining regular-season games for an opportunity to defend its national title, the Lutes (7-1 and ranked No. 8 in Division III) outgained the Raiders (4-4) 499-293 in total offense and sprang their first shutout in 87 games. Pacific Lutheran's last whitewash came on Nov. 21, 1992, when they defeated Montana Tech 37-0.

Senior quarterback Chad Johnson, who entered the game second in Division III in passing efficiency and fourth in total offense, scorched the SOU defense for 341 yards and two scores on a 22-for-38 effort.  And senior running back Shipley Ennis amassed 167 all-purpose yards while touching the ball just five times, and he accounted for three touchdowns, including a 78-yard catch and a 62-yard run. 

His 14-yard catch from Chad Johnson with 1:55 remaining in the first quarter opened Lute scoring.

The Lutes outgained Southern 267-64 in the first half but led only 12-0 until an Aaron Binger 3-yard touchdown run capped a 12-play, seven-minute drive midway through the third quarter.

The PLU defense then stuffed the normally potent Raider rushing attack to minus-9 yards, SOU's lowest ground output in 11 years.  SOU freshman tailback Dusty McGrorty, ranked seventh in the NAIA with a 136-yard game average, amassed only 44 on 21 carries.

Raider quarterback Dan Walters and Elijah Jordan combined to complete 31 of 53 passes for a season-high 302 yards, including a career-best 12-catch, 124-yard day by junior receiver Leo Stoddard, but the team penetrated PLU territory only once through the first three quarters and was stymied on two fourth-quarter drives inside the PLU 10.

SOU, which must defeat Eastern Oregon in the regular-season finale in Ashland next Saturday to have any hope of qualifying for the 16-team NAIA playoffs, suffered its first home-field blanking since 1989.

St. John's 58, Carleton 7
MINNEAPOLIS -- St. John's rolled up 519 yards of total offense and forced six Carleton turnovers in a 58-7 drubbing of the Knights as part of the MIAC Metrodome Showcase.

The Johnnies (8-1, 7-1 MIAC) raced to an early 21-0 lead, turning two early Knight turnovers into scores. Carleton responded with its lone score of the contest when Josh Schroeder picked off his fifth pass of the season, setting up Jon Hodgson's 2-yard burst nine plays later. 

St. John's would essentially put the game away with two scores in the final 3:09 of the half, as Blake Elliot grabbed a 3-yard fade in the corner of the end zone from Tom Linnemann. Linnemann then led the Johnnies 40 yards in four plays, finding Nate Kirschner from 10 yards out with 24 seconds left in the half to give St. John's a 34-7 halftime lead.

The Johnnie defense held the Knights to 7 yards rushing on 34 attempts and 152 total yards, as Nick Bruns tallied ten tackles, four for loss, with a sack. Alex Wesley added nine tackles, four for loss, with a pair of sacks. SJU limited Carleton to 2-for-15 on third-down conversions and 1-for-5 on fourth down.

Offensively for the Johnnies, Chris Moore gained 91 yards on only 13 carries, while Linnemann was 19-for-25 for 239 yards and five scores, with Nate Kirschner catching seven passes for 146 yards and two scores. Blake Elliot had just 13 yards on a pair of catches, but both went for touchdowns. Erik Miller led the Knights with 35 yards receiving on five catches. Scott O'Reilly posted a game-high 17 tackles with a sack as well.

Carleton quarterbacks Jon Groteboer and Jesse Anders combined to go 13-for-33 with five interceptions.

Shenandoah 45, Principia 23
WINCHESTER, Va. - The Shenandoah University football team staked its claim to the top spot among the six new Division III football programs in 2000 with a 45-23 victory against Principia in the season finale for both schools. The blowout victory, the Hornets' second in as many games, gives SU three wins in nine contests this season.

The three NCAA victories guarantees Shenandoah at least a tie for most wins among the four new programs this season. Two other new programs can match the Hornets' three victories.

Against Principia (5-4), coach Walter Barr's club gave up an initial field goal before rattling off 38 unanswered first half points to take a commanding 38-3 lead into intermission. Senior Trey Kern keyed this onslaught with 155 first-half rushing yards and two touchdowns on six carries. Kern's two scores were from 70 and 73 yards out, the latter setting a new school record for both longest scoring play and longest play from scrimmage. 

Kern finished the afternoon with 165 yards rushing on 12 carries. Sophomore Dennis Robart also was over the century mark with 122 yards and three touchdowns. The three touchdowns scored allow Robart to set school records for both touchdowns scored in a game and in a season. He found pay dirt nine times in 2000.

The defense held the Panthers to minus nine yards rushing in the first 30 minutes of play, setting the tone for the blowout victory. PC ended up with 394 total yards on the afternoon, 370 of which came through the air. Quarterback Chris Pierce was 31-for-65 with two touchdowns and four interceptions on the day to lead the Panthers' attack. Wideout Paul Duncan was the primary beneficiary of Pierce's throws, as he had 190 yards receiving and a touchdown on 15 catches.

DePauw 10, Rose-Hulman 0
GREENCASTLE, Ind. -- The Tiger defense recorded its first shutout of the season and held visiting Rose-Hulman to just 155 yards of offense and only 23 on the ground on the way to a 10-0 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference victory.

The win was the Tigers' fifth straight after an 0-4 start as DePauw  finished SCAC play at 4-2 which is good for no worse than a tie for second. The Tigers can still tie for the league title if Millsaps defeats Trinity next week. Trinity clinched the conference's automatic qualifier with a 43-26 win over Sewanee today. Rose-Hulman fell to 2-7, 1-4.

For the fourth consecutive week, the Tigers' defense held an opponent to fewer than 30 yards rushing and they've surrendered just 53 rushing yards in 98 attempts over the last four games.

DePauw got all the scoring it needed in the first quarter as sophomore John Christopherson intercepted Rose-Hulman sophomore Jared Tharpe's pass at the Engineers 35 and returned it to the 7. Senior linebacker Jason Geringer started the play by tipping the ball to Christopherson. That set up Matt King's first collegiate touchdown on a 1-yard run. Freshman Ben Murray's point-after made it 7-0 with 6:23 left in the first.

The DePauw offense struggled in the first quarter as sophomore quarterback Scott Shelbourne, making his first collegiate start, connected on just three of his first 13 attempts. Shelbourne finished the half by completing seven of his final nine attempts.

Early in the fourth, the Tiger defense stopped the Engineers at the DePauw 19 and the offense started an eight-play, 75-yard drive that culminated in Murray's 23-yard field goal with 8:38 left to make it 10-0.

Shelbourne finished with 17 of 34 passing for 88 yards with eight going to senior Joe Schoen whose final catch, in the third quarter, was his 66th of the season and broke the DePauw season record of 65 set by Jay True in 1978. In all, Shelbourne threw to seven different receivers.

King finished with 74 rushing yards on just 13 carries as the Tigers finished with 107 yards on the ground.

Rose-Hulman sophomore quarterback Josh Willis came off the bench to total 110 yards on 16-for-28 passing. Sophomore Joshua Reed led the Engineers with five catches for 20 yards. In all, 10 different Rose-Hulman players picked up receptions.

Geringer and senior Frisky Williams each finished with eight tackles to lead DePauw. Geringer also had three pass breakups and Williams was in on five tackles for losses totaling 9 yards. Christopherson finished with two interceptions and senior Durriell Brown added one.

Freshman Matthew Colatruglio was in on 10 stops and had the Engineers' lone interception. Junior David Berty had four tackles for loss including a 10-yard sack.

The Tigers travel to Crawfordsville to face Wabash on Nov. 11 in a rivalry that dates back to 1890. Saturday's game will be the 107th between the two schools and the 69th for possession of the Monon Bell. Kickoff is set for just after 1 p.m.

Wabash 69, Denison 33
Another weekend, another set of records broken at Byron P. Hollett Little Giant Stadium as Wabash defeated Denison 69-33.

Wabash jumped out to a 48-13 lead before pulling the starters on offense and defense. Little Giant sophomore quarterback Jake Knott threw for 426 yards and five touchdowns. Knott completed 26-of-41 passes with two interceptions and one sack. Backup Joe Lonnemann tossed one TD pass, going 3-4 for 53 yards. The Little Giants set a Wabash record for total offense in a game with 711 yards.

Wabash used six different ball-carriers to finish with 47 carries for 232 yards and four TDs on the ground. Freshmen Jason Furgatch and Korey Mauck led the ground attack. Furgatch had nine carries for 93 yards, including a 67-yard touchdown run. Mauck had 17 carries for 81 yards and one TD.

Freshman kicker Olmy Olmstead survived a baptism by fire on Saturday. Kicking in his first varsity game due to an season-ending injury to Todd Bower, Olmstead managed to set the Wabash single-game record for extra-point kicks with nine after missing his first attempt. The straight-on kicker broke the mark of eight set by Bob Schwab in 1952.

Senior defensive tackle B.J. Hammer continued his solid play this season, adding four tackles (three for losses) and 2½ sacks to his season totals. His
15 sacks this year sets a single-season record at Wabash. Hammer's 22½ sacks in 21 career games has him 4½ short of the career mark set by Mike Worthington and Bill Wheeler. Hammer already set the career record for tackles for loss, and has the longest fumble return in school history, a 93-yarder last week against Allegheny.

Wabash recorded eight sacks against Denison, and held the Big Red to a minus-29 rushing yards in the game. Denison quarterback Greg Neuendorf set an NCAC record by throwing 76 passes while playing the entire game. Neuendorf finished 36-for-76 with two interceptions and four touchdowns for 494 yards.

The Little Giant move to 6-3, 5-2 in the North Coast Athletic Conference. Denison falls to 1-8, 1-5.

Wabash will face DePauw University in the one of the biggest rivalries in small college football, the 107th Monon Bell Classic. Game time for the nationally telecast game is set for 1:08 p.m. next Saturday. DePauw leads the series 49-48-9.
