Week Eight Game Summaries

UW-Stout 43, UW-Platteville 35
School records flew almost as often as the ball flew from Pioneer freshman quarterback Tom Stetzer's hand in UW-Stout's wild 43-35 come-from-behind win Saturday at Ralph E. Davis Pioneer Stadium. The contest was the second highest-scoring game in the 28-year stadium history, surpassed only by the Pioneers' 52-43 victory over UW-Eau Claire in 1980.

The eighth-ranked Blue Devils scored 19 points in the final 8:54 to remain unbeaten at 7-0 and 5-0 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The Pioneers slipped to 2-5, 1-4.

UW-Stout brought in the seventh-ranked defense in Division III, allowing just 191.8 yards per game, including 125.2 through the air. Stetzer, however, shredded Stout for 483 yards and five scores. The freshman set Pioneer records with his yardage and his 63 attempts. Stetzer averaged 22 yards per completion, as he and the Pioneers played bombs away.

Stetzer threw for 373 yards and four touchdowns in the first half alone, as the Pioneers built a 28-24 lead. Stetzer connected with Troy Gagner for three scores in the game's first 28 minutes,  hooking up on scoring plays of 20, 6 and 78 yards. Freshman Jim Richardson was on the receiving end of a 36-yard score in the first quarter and just missed another when his toes were ruled on the end-line on the Pioneers' opening drive.

The Pioneers stretched their lead to 35-24 early in the second half on a 12-yard pass from Stetzer to Reggie Davis.

The Blue Devils then began their fourth-quarter comeback behind some big defensive plays and a record-setting day from running back Luke Bundgaard. Stout's Chad Riechelt helped turn the tide with a sack of Stetzer on the Blue Devils' 16. The blind-side hit caused a fumble, and the Blue Devils recovered to stop the drive and prevent a three-touchdown margin.

Although the Blue Devils missed a field-goal attempt on their next drive, two plays later Eric Lund intercepted a tipped Stetzer pass at the line, the Pioneers' 11. The UWP defense stiffened, forcing another field goal attempt, this one which was good.

The Blue Devils further cut the lead when an errant shotgun snap sailed into the end zone for a safety, making the score 35-29. Stout took the lead for good on a 15-yard pass play, and then Bundgaard put things away with a 71-yard scoring romp with 1:58 remaining. Bundgaard set Stout records with 45 carries for 335 yards and four touchdowns.

Gagner had the second-most prolific receiving day in Pioneer history, as the senior caught seven passes for 190 yards and the three touchdowns. Richardson added five catches for 167 yards, and Davis caught five more for 69 yards.

Defensively, Dennis Banks was spectacular for UWP with 16 solo tackles, including 3 for losses. David Cochenet and Dave McGraw each had 10 solo tackles, with McGraw recording a 16-yard sack.

Lund led UW-Stout with three interceptions, while Rob Weinstein added eight tackles and a pass breakup.

Washington & Lee 27, Sewanee 24
LEXINGTON, Va. -- Washington and Lee junior running back Marc Watson rushed for 262 yards and two touchdowns against a Sewanee defense that was ranked 11th in Division III in rushing defense (58.4 ypg) to help lead Washington and Lee to a 27-24 Homecoming win.

Watson's performance came on the heels of a 281-yard rushing day last week and he becomes just the fourth W&L player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. His total now stands at an even 1,000 yards.

Sewanee, who scored two defensive touchdowns, got on the board first with a safety just 3:59 into the game as a W&L punt snap sailed out of the back of the end zone.

The Generals (5-2) retaliated on a 27-yard field goal by senior placekicker Andy Vendig with 8:14 remaining in the quarter to make the score 3-2 in favor of W&L. Vendig's field goal tied the school season record for field goals (10).

W&L upped its lead to 6-2 with 27 seconds remaining in the opening quarter as junior placekicker Brad Wiginton booted a 35-yard field goal.

Watson gave the Generals a 13-2 edge with 6:57 left in the second quarter as he broke off a 40-yard touchdown run and sophomore tight end Davis White extended the lead to 20-2 on a 6-yard touchdown reception from sophomore quarterback Bobby Littlehale with 3:43 remaining in the half.

Sewanee cut the lead to 20-9 as junior defensive end Chase Neal fell on a Watson fumble in the end zone with 10:15 remaining in the third quarter.

Watson atoned for the fumble by scoring on a 61-yard run with 4:03 left in the third period to give the Generals a 27-9 lead.

However, Sewanee again answered with a defensive score, this time on a 71-yard interception return by sophomore linebacker Charles McCauley with 8:11 remaining to make the score 27-15. The Tigers (5-3) then converted a two-point conversion to make the score 27-17.

Sewanee then cut the lead to 27-24 with 2:43 left on a 31-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Max Fuller to sophomore wide receiver Pedy Tehrani.

The Tigers would get the ball back with a chance to win or tie, but Fuller was sacked on the his own 39-yard line as time expired.

Littlehale completed 14 of 23 attempts for 101 yards and one touchdown, while White caught five passes for 44 yards and one score. Sewanee was led by Fuller, who completed 11 of 18 attempts for 147 yards and rushed 18 times for 68 yards.

Junior linebacker Jeff Bahl led the Generals' defense with 11 tackles and two fumble recoveries. Sophomore linebacker Matt Stavish also collected 11 tackles on the day.

Sewanee's defense was led by junior linebacker Jason Wheat and senior defensive end Brian Tyler, who tallied eight tackles each.

Dickinson 30, Swarthmore 13
CARLISLE, Pa. -- Dickinson unleashed a punishing ground game to defeat Swarthmore 30-13 at Biddle Field. The Red Devils gained 305 yards by land as a team with four players rushing for over 60 yards on the day.

Junior fullback Ryan MacPhee led the way with 98 yards and one touchdown. Mike Smith and Isaac Custer ran for 75 and 74 yards and a touchdown respectively, and Antonio Tiberi added 66 yards on nine carries.

The Red Devils took a 7-0 lead into the break on an 8-yard run by Smith. That score was set up by a wild return following Mike Jackowski's blocked field goal. Jackowski blocked the kick, picked up the loose ball and ran to the Swarthmore 24 yard-line. He then tossed the ball in the air where Andy Kerstetter grabbed it and ran to the Garnet 15. 

Swarthmore's Ken Clark scored on a 4-yard run with 3:45 left in the third, but the extra-point attempt failed, keeping Dickinson on top 7-6.

The Devils (3-4, 2-2 Centennial) answered right back at the 2:17 mark as MacPhee ran in from the 7 after Custer scrambled for a 25-yd gain and MacPhee picked up 30 yards on a draw play. Custer then made the score 20-6 on a 4-yard run with 11:35 to go in the game.

The Garnet Tide (2-4, 1-4) refused to go away, however, as Ken Clark capped a 7-play, 57-yard drive with a 1-yd run to cut the lead to seven.

Freshman kicker Michael Levin recorded his first career field goal, splitting the uprights from 32 yards out, making the score 23-13. Then, a minute later Trent Stumbaugh intercepted a pass and returned it 59 yards for the Devils' final touchdown of the afternoon. Steve Menzel provided the pressure on the play, forcing Swarthmore quarterback Scott Murray to put the ball up and Stumbaugh was there for the pick.

Central 73, William Penn 7
OSKALOOSA, Iowa -- Central capitalized on eight William Penn turnovers and came away with a 73-7 win.

The Dutch (7-0) picked off six passes, including a pair of interceptions by Nate Koerselman, who returned one 55 yards for a score, and one by defensive end Jon Van Heukelom, who scored on a 32-yard interception return. Central also found the end zone on a 64-yard punt return by Chad Klein, two Scott Koerselman TD passes and five touchdowns on the ground. Reserve fullback Matt Brandt rushed for three touchdowns, including one from 37 yards out.

Penn's lone score came in the second quarter on a 75-yard run by Torain Howard. But that only cut the margin to 28-7 and it was 31-7 Central at intermission.

Dutch placekicker Marcus Kroloff converted 10 of 10 extra point tries, one shy of the school record, and also booted a 38-yard field goal. 

The final 67-point victory margin was the fifth-largest in Central history. It was Central's 19th consecutive victory in the series with Penn, which started in 1892.

Central rushed for 263 yards, passed for 136 and finished with 399 yards total offense. Penn (2-5) was limited to 81 yards on the ground but threw for 237 for 318 yards total offense.

St. Norbert 34, Grinnell 0
DE PERE, Wis. -- St. Norbert posted its third consecutive shutout and the fourth in five games, blanking Grinnell 34-0 Minahan Stadium. The Green Knights' defense has shut out Lawrence 29-0, Knox 21-0, Monmouth 45-0 and Grinnell. A 54-31 win over Ripon is the lone blemish in that stretch.

St. Norbert (7-0, 6-0 MWC) took control of the game in the second quarter. St. Norbert took a 7-0 lead on an 11-yard touchdown run by Matt O'Grady. Grinnell then answered with a first-and-goal at the St. Norbert 6. After two plays netted 5 yards, the Green Knights stopped Grinnell after an incomplete pass and to no gain on an Adam Wallace run on fourth down. Three plays later, St. Norbert went up 14-0 on a 75-yard touchdown run by O'Grady. O'Grady finished with 193 yards rushing on 20 carries.

Luke Ott found tight end Mark Schmitz on a pair of touchdown passes in the second half -- tosses of 2 and 26 yards. Jason Augustynowicz's 27-yard touchdown run late provided the final margin of scoring.

St. Norbert totaled 27 first downs en route to 426 yards of total offense, including 276 on the ground. Grinnell was limited to 222 yards of total offense, just 2.9 yards per play, and was 8 of 21 on third-down opportunities.

Jerimiah Janssen had a game-high 14 tackles, including two for a loss, while Chad Blahnik registered four tackles for loss and two sacks for St. Norbert.

Western Maryland 55, Franklin & Marshall 6
LANCASTER, Pa. -- Western Maryland quarterback Boo Harris ran for 55 yards, and threw for 209 as the Green Terror defeated Franklin & Marshall 55-6.

Through the first half, the two teams were evenly matched on the ground. At intermission Western Maryland (6-1, 5-0 Centennial) led 17-0, but only outrushed Franklin and Marshall 57-56, a good sign for a Diplomats team that had been allowing 235.3 yards on the ground per game.

The highlight of the early going for F&M (0-7, 0-4) was defensive end Chris Gallino who tied an F&M school record for most sacks in a game during the first half with four. His 27 yards of sack yardage broke the school record. Gallino finished the contest with nine tackles (three solo) and five tackles for loss of 31 yards.

However, in the second half, Western Maryland found its offense as the Green Terror posted 31 third-quarter points, including 21 in the first five minutes, on the board, to pull away.

The Green Terror struck quickly in the third as Kevin Lonergan's kickoff was fielded by WMC's Rob McCracken at his own 20 and returned for a touchdown.  Fifty-six seconds later, F&M quarterback David Makson was sacked by the Terror's Ben Swann in the end zone, forcing a fumble that was recovered by Jason Wiles for a touchdown to run the score to 31-0. Two minutes later, Harris scampered into the end zone on a five-yard rush to run it up to 38-0.

Western Maryland finished the game with 396 total yards, including 227 passing from Harris, Jay Stine and Brett Kamholtz.

Following touchdowns by WMC's Brandon Brown and Louis Wright, F&M finally got on the scoreboard at 6:41 in the fourth when backup quarterback Mark Rowand hit Matt Wagaman with a 12 yard pass to break up the shutout.

With the win, Western Maryland has now won 26 consecutive Centennial Conference games, including three consecutive conference titles.

St. John's 61, Hamline 0
COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. -- Saint John's senior quarterback Tom Linnemann threw for 288 yards and four touchdowns as the No. 5 Johnnies defeated University 61-0 in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game at Clemens Stadium.

After a scoreless first quarter, SJU (7-0, 6-0 MIAC) scored four TDs in the second quarter to take a 28-0 halftime lead in front of over 7,000 fans for Family Weekend. SJU scored on the first play of the second quarter as Chris Moore scored on a 1-yard run. Linnemann then connected with Blake Elliot on a 45-yard TD pass and the Johnnies led 14-0. Moore then scored again, this time from 2 yards out. The end of the quarter saw Linnemann team up with Jeremy Forsell on a 17-yard TD pass.

In the third quarter, Linnemann connected on TD passes of six and 22 yards to Nate Kirschner. Ross Denne then scored for the Johnnies from 5 yards out. The fourth quarter saw Ryan Keating score from 1 yard out and then throw a 16-yard TD pass to Josh Otto.

The Johnnies outgained the Pipers (1-6, 1-5) 567 to 196 in total offense. Nate Kirschner caught seven passes for 100 yards and two TDs, while Jeremy Forsell caught nine passes for 102 yards and one TD. Chris Moore led the rushing attack for the Johnnies, carrying the ball 11 times for 51 yards and two TDs. Linnemann now has 56 career TD passes, which places him second on SJU's all-time list.

Hamline was led by Joey Kvamme, who carried the ball 17 times for 65 yards. Hamline's Tim Couchman was 11-for-16 passing for 91 yards. Doug Amsden caught five passes for 54 yards.

The 61 points by the Johnnies is the most since they scored 63 points against Concordia-St. Paul on Sept. 5, 1998. The SJU defense pitched its second shutout of the year and marked the fifth time in seven games this season that SJU's opponent was held to seven points or less.

Bentley 27, Plymouth State 23
PLYMOUTH, N.H. -- Senior Ted Larkin completed 14 of 20 passes for 187 yards and one touchdown Saturday afternoon to lead Bentley to a 27-23 victory against Plymouth State in non-conference action at Currier Field. The victory improves Bentley to 3-5 overall, while PSC drops its fourth in a row and falls to 2-5.

The Falcons also got rushing touchdowns from three different running backs -- sophomore Brian Whalen, junior Paul Reed and freshman Andy Breda. 

Plymouth State's two quarterbacks -- sophomore Matt Simpson and junior Zach Matthews -- combined to complete 24 of 43 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns, but Bentley picked off four passes that stalled PSC scoring drives. Panther tailback Russ Massahos rushed for 75 yards and one TD, and he was PSC's leading receiver for the second consecutive week with seven catches for 32 yards.

"We came out and made a lot of mistakes in the first half, and that ultimately cost us," said PSC head coach Chris Rorke. "We had chances to win but came up short. You can't spot a team three touchdowns and expect to win at this level."

Simpson tossed second-half touchdown passes to sophomore Phil Pagan and senior Mike Bardellini, while Larkin's TD pass was a 19-yard strike to senior Rob Haddad early in the fourth quarter that gave the Falcons a 27-14 lead.

PSC had a chance to pull the game out in the closing moments. A blocked punt by sophomore Justin Falite, his second of the game, was recovered in the Bentley end zone for a safety with 1:48 remaining, making it 27-23 Bentley. The Panthers took over the ensuing free kick at their own 30-yard line, but Simpson was intercepted on the second play to seal the victory for the Falcons.

Junior linebacker Chris Kelliher turned in another strong performance for the Panther defense, making a team-high 12 tackles. Junior cornerback Bob Maylone added 10 tackles and a pass break-up, and sophomore linebacker Joe Merrick contributed a fumble recovery and nine tackles, including four for in the Bentley backfield, in his first career start.

"The first half just wasn't us," said Kelliher, who is among the conference leaders in total tackles and tackles for loss. "We were flat and that cost us 21 points. We would hold them on the first two downs, but they made several big plays on third-and-long that took the air out of us. In the second half we played more like Plymouth State football, with more intensity."

Bethel 46, Carleton 8
NORTHFIELD, Minn. -- Scott Kirchoff passed for 356 yards and five touchdowns and rushed for another, leading No. 20 Bethel to 46-8 victory against an injury-plagued Carleton squad today at Laird Stadium.

Bethel opened up the scoring with 17 points in the first quarter, scoring on their first three possessions. Their first drive ended in a 22-yard field goal. The next score came on a 22-yard pass from Kirchoff to Mike Johnson, who recorded eight catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns on the day. Kirchoff added six more points on a 1-yard quarterback sneak.

Carleton's first possession in the second quarter was indicative of the rest of the game. The Knights were stopped on the Bethel 2-yard line, handing the ball over on downs after a two yard run by Jon Hodgson. 

Failure to convert in the red zone plagued the Knights the entire game. Coach Bob Sullivan remarked, "We made too many mistakes in the red zone, things like jumping too soon or throwing into crowds."

The Knights made their strongest push after that drive. Andrew Wild knifed through the line to tackle Bethel's Josh Savageau for a safety.

Having failed to score twice after driving deep into Bethel territory, the Knights scored their only touchdown of the game as the clock wound down in the first half. Jesse Anderson, filling in at quarterback for the injured Jon Groteboer, heaved a Hail Mary pass that found Brody Felchle in the end zone for a 28-yard touchdown.

The Bethel offense took over the game in the second half, scoring 29 unanswered points and racking up to 278 yards of total offense, while the Knights only managed to generate 38 total yards after halftime.

Leaders offensively for the Knights included Felchle, who had four catches for 76 yards and one touchdown, and Kyle Swartout, who carried the ball 14 times for 67 yards. Anderson completed 16 of 32 passes for 184 yards, with three interceptions and one touchdown. On the other side of the ball, Scott
O'Reilly led the defensive unit with 13 tackles, while J.J. Franz added eight tackles, including one sack.

Deon Jordan led Bethel's wide receivers corps with six catches for 208 yards and two touchdowns of 91 and 62 yards. Savageau rushed for 62 yards on 22 carries. On the defensive side of the ball, Ben Matthews had one interception, bringing his conference-leading total to 12. He is only four shy of breaking the collegiate record of 15 interceptions in one season, set by Mark Dorner of Juniata in 1987.

Cortland State 42, William Paterson 3
CORTLAND, N.Y. -- Junior Brian Babst caught nine passes for 163 yards, both career highs, and scored a pair of touchdowns as Cortland defeated William Paterson. The Red Dragons have won all five meetings between the schools since 1996 by a combined score of 196-19.

Babst caught a 20-yard pass from Ryan McCarthy on the first play of the second quarter, just breaking the plane of the goal line before losing the ball, to give Cortland a 14-3 lead. Cortland's three-play, 20-yard scoring drive was set up by Dom Narcisco's 73-yard kickoff return.

Babst also made a nice leaping catch of a 33-yard pass from freshman J.J. Tutwiler to close out Cortland's scoring with 6:42 remaining in the game. Babst's 163 receiving yards are the sixth-highest single-game total in school history.

Cortland took a 7-0 lead on McCarthy's 5-yard pass to freshman Jason Burch with 6:42 left in the first quarter. William Paterson tallied its only points with 57 seconds left in the quarter on a Mickey Hulse 25-yard field goal. Babst's first touchdown and a 1-yard scoring run by senior fullback Vic Chiappa with 29 seconds left in the first half gave the Red Dragons a 21-3
lead at the break.

The Red Dragons added a third-quarter touchdown on a 5-yard reverse by sophomore Joe Marzullo and added a score early in the fourth quarter when senior cornerback Ben Faery picked up a fumble off a dropped lateral pass and ran 53 yards to paydirt.

Sophomore linebacker Todd Goodwin led Cortland's defense with nine tackles, an interception and a forced fumble. William Paterson was led by sophomore defensive back Lamar Askew's seven tackles, interception and pass breakup.

Cortland held a 268-132 advantage in passing yardage, although William Paterson outgained the Red Dragons 113-54 on the ground. Senior Josh Kendle gained 62 yards on 13 carries to lead the Pioneers.

Catholic 34, Hampden-Sydney 23
HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. -- Catholic University scored 13 unanswered fourth-quarter points to rally to beat Hampden-Sydney, 34-23, in ODAC football action today at Fulton Field.  The loss drops the Tigers to 3-4 overall on the year, 2-3 in the ODAC, while defending champ Catholic moves to 4-3, 2-1.

Catholic went into the lead midway through the first quarter as wide receiver Jim Jankiewicz caught a 39-yard pass from Derek McGee. However, Hampden-Sydney answered in the second quarter with two touchdowns to go up 14-7.

With 12:30 remaining in the second quarter, junior fullback Kevin Tucker rambled in for his fifth touchdown of the year from 1 yard out.  Then, after the Cardinals missed a 22-yard field goal, the Tigers drove 80 yards in four plays as Dre Sessoms scored on a 63-yard run.

With the second quarter winding down and the Cardinal offense driving, junior corner Lonnie Johnson picked off McGee in the Tiger end zone to stop the drive.  However, the Tiger offense was forced to punt on the ensuing drive.  The Cardinal defense blocked the punt and set up a McGee 4-yard rush for a touchdown to tie the score at 14 heading into the locker room.

The Tigers received the ball to open the second half and promptly marched it down the field 85 yards on 13 plays culminating in Sessoms' second rushing TD of the game, this time from 4 yards out.  Later in the third quarter, the Cardinals muffed a punt attempt deep in Tiger territory as the snap sailed high over the punter's head, leading to a Hampden-Sydney safety and making the score 23-14.

However, late in the third quarter, Sessoms fumbled the ball on his own 15 yard line, setting up a Dan Boyle rushing TD for the Cardinals to cut the lead to 23-21.  As the fourth quarter rolled around, McGee found Boyle from 15 yards out for a touchdown put Catholic back on top 27-23 as the two-point conversion failed.

Catholic's defense stepped up the intensity again, forcing the Tigers to go three-and-out, and with 9:27 remaining in the game, the Cardinals scored their final TD as McGee ran it in from 16 yards out.

For the game, Sessoms rushed 15 times for 97 yards and two touchdowns to pace the Tiger offense, while Dann Cahoon led the Tiger defense with seven tackles.  Meanwhile, Boyle rushed for 190 yards and scores, while the team had three different players with at least four tackles.

Tiger senior receiver Jeff Woody caught five passes for 75 yards to move into first-place all-time with 1,933 career yards receiving.

Gustavus 20, Augsburg 13 (2 OT)
MINNEAPOLIS -- Matt Gahlon caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from Joe Thorvig in the second overtime, and Brad Arndt intercepted an Augsburg
pass to win the game, giving Gustavus Adolphus a 20-13, double-overtime victory against host Augsburg in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game at Augsburg's Anderson-Nelson Field.

Arndt's interception, off a tip by Kevin Firkus on an Auggie pass to the end zone on the first play of Augsburg's second overtime session, ended the game and gave the Gusties (4-3, 4-2 MIAC) the win.

The teams entered the overtime tied at 6-6. Augsburg (2-5, 2-4) had the ball first, and scored on a 5-yard touchdown pass from Paul Tetzloff to Desman Oakley.

In the Gusties' first overtime possession, the Auggie defense held firm and forced a fourth-down-and-10 play from the 13-yard line, but Thorvig was able to complete a scoring pass to Brett Boese, which forced the second extra session.

Gustavus took the first possession of the second overtime and scored in four plays, converting a Thorvig-to-Gahlon 15-yard pass to the corner of the end zone for the score.

Augsburg led 3-0 at halftime on a Matt Van Alstine 22-yard field goal. The Gusties tied the game on a 37-yard field goal by Christian White, and White's 28-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter gave the Gusties a 6-3 lead.

Augsburg used a 13-play, 50-yard drive to tie the game, as Van Alstine converted a 35-yard field goal.

In the final minute of regulation, Gustavus drove the ball 61 yards to the Augsburg 11-yard line, where it set up for a potential 28-yard, game-winning field goal by White. His kick, with six seconds remaining, was wide right, but the Auggies were penalized for running into the kicker, putting the ball at the Augsburg 6-yard line with two seconds left. White's 23-yard field goal attempt also was wide right, forcing overtime.

The overtime game, Augsburg's fourth in the last four years since the NCAA instituted overtime in 1996, was the second two-overtime contest between the Auggies and Gusties in history. In 1997, Augsburg and Gustavus played a two-overtime game in St. Peter, Minn., with Augsburg winning 41-35.

Gustavus outgained Augsburg by a 343-336 yardage margin, and Augsburg's 224 rushing yards was the most in a single game for the Auggies since a 253-yard rushing performance in a 56-22 win against Bethel on Nov. 7, 1997. Brian Warden led all players with 132 carries on 25 rushes. He now has 1,693 career rushing yards on 448 career carries, putting him in second place in Augsburg's all-time career carry list and in fourth place on Augsburg's all-time rushing yardage list.

Thorvig completed 27 of 47 passes for 253 yards. Boese had 97 receiving
yards on five catches, while Andy Traetow caught eight passes for 57 yards and Ryan Hoag caught five passes for 55 yards.

Tetzloff completed 14 passes for 112 yards for the Auggies. Mark Johnson
had three catches for 34 yards to lead the Auggies.

Brian Bergstrom had 19 tackles (11 solo) to lead the Gusties, while Andy Barnick had 14 tackles (11 solo) and Matt Dierks had 11 tackles (eight solo).

Augsburg's defense was paced by Shane Gunderson and Joe Souba, who had 12 tackles apiece. Souba also had a sack, as did Andy Howard and Matt Chappuis.

Rhodes 23, Colorado College 6
MEMPHIS -- Rhodes held the ball for 35 minutes, 40 seconds and held Colorado College (3-4) to 155 yards of total offense to snap a three-game losing streak, defeating the Tigers 23-6 on Homecoming.

The Lynx (4-3) came out of the gates early with senior Kila Wilson catching an 11-yard touchdown pass from freshman Rob Schrier capping an 11 play, 75 yard opening drive. Andy English capped on the extra point making the score 7-0 early in the first quarter.

Throughout the rest of the game the Lynx dominated on both sides of the ball, gaining 329 yards of total offense. Rhodes was led by sophomore running back Kevin Gennusa, who gained 98 yards on 19 carries. In the air the Lynx were led by Wilson, who snagged two catches for 53 yards, both of which were touchdowns.

Sophomore quarterback Haskell Murray and Schrier combined for 10-for-20 passing  with two touchdowns. The defense was led by freshman defensive lineman Philip Gennette, who amassed eight tackles, five of which were for a loss. Senior defensive back Corliss Givens extended his team interception lead with his fourth.

Simpson 26, Loras 7
INDIANOLA, Iowa -- On the strength of five sacks and five interceptions, Simpson defeated Loras 26-7 in IIAC action.  The Storm's Tyler Freeburg posted four of the five sacks for a loss of 39 yards.  Chad Severin had three of Simpson's interceptions while defensive lineman Brad Guill charted his second touchdown in as many weeks as he returned Kevin Hamil's fourth interception of the day 35 yards for the final Simpson score.

Senior tailback Troy Clemen rushed for 82 yards and the Storm's other three touchdowns.  Simpson (5-3, 5-3 IIAC), which only passed five times Oct. 14 against Buena Vista, attempted 25 passes and completed 17 attempts. Senior Brad Zelenovich was 16-for-24 for 184 yards. Zelenovich's favorite target was senior split end Jordan Jones who caught five balls for a season high 85 yards.

Dee Hill led all rushers with 113 yards and he scored the lone Duhawk touchdown in the third quarter.  Hamil and fellow quarterback Kevin Rudolph combined for 8-for-24 in the air for 72 yards and the five interceptions for Loras (4-3, 4-3).
