season with a 49-34 victory over 15th-ranked Saginaw Valley State.

The Lakers and Cardinals were paired up against one another in an NCAA Super Region 4 first-round playoff matchup just one week later and GVSU again came out on top, this time by a 40-7 score.

Grand Valley State captured a 34-30 victory at No. 3 Colorado StatePueblo and won its eithth NCAA DII regional crown with a 35-28 comeback win over 11th-ranked West Texas A&M. The Lakers dropped a 27-13 decition at eventual National Champion Northwest Missouri State in the semifinals.

The Lakers averaged 35.0 points and 431.3 yards per games in 2013. A stable of running backs averaged 186.5 yards per game rushing, while the passing game produced 244.7 yards per games.

Due to injuries, the Lakers used two starting QBs and the RB trio patched together a rotation that rushed for 2,798 yards and 32 TDs. The defense forced 31 turnovers and really meshed together the second-half of the regular season and the playoff run. Senior offensive center Matt Armstrong was a consensus first-team all-american and the recipient of the 2013 Rimington Award as the top center in Division II football. In addition, sophomore tight end Jamie Potts earned all-america honors after catching 54 passes for 899 yards and 11 TDs..

Grand Valley State was decimated by injuries on the defensive side of the ball in 2012. Offensively, the Lakers led the GLIAC in scoring despite missing a number of key performres that were lost to season-ending injuries early in the campaign.

Mitchell set a Grand Valley State record for most wins in a season for a first-year football coach (11) in 2010, guiding GVSU to a 10-1 regular season mark and a victory over Colorado Mines in an NCAA DII First-Round playoff game. The Laker defense held five opponents to 10 points or less, while the Laker offense scored 35 points or more nine times.

A six-year veteran of the GVSU coaching staff prior to becoming head coach, Mitchell was the defensive coordinator and linebacker/safety coach for the Lakers. Mitchell's 2009 defense finished the regular season ranked first in the GLIAC in scoring defense (17.7 ppg), rushing defense (95.6 ypg), total defense (305.0 ypg), turnover margin (+22), QB sacks (48), tackles for loss (7.1 pg), and interceptions (21). The GVSU defense ranked in the top 20 of six NCAA DII national categories and held six opponents to 10 points or less. Seven Laker defenders earned either All-GLIAC first or second-team honors in 2009.

The 2008 Laker defense led the GLIAC in six different categories and ranked in the top 10 nationally in scoring defense (4th/12.6), QB sacks (2nd/4.17) and tackles for loss (6th/9.17).

GVSU also ranked 17th in total defense (278.9), tallied two shutouts and limited seven opponents to 10 points or less on the year with Mitchell at the helm. Ten Lakers earned All-GLIAC plaudits, including Dan Skuta being named the GLIAC Defensive Lineman of the Year and being a consensus all-american selection.

Mitchell’s 2007 Laker linebacking unit was the focal point of a GVSU defense that led the GLIAC and ranked nationally in scoring defense (14.5), total defense (303.6), pass efficiency defense (95.6) and QB sacks (42), while ranking second in pass defense (154.7) and rush defense (148.9). Grand Valley State held nine-of-13 opponents under 14 points and only one scored more than 21 points. Anthony Adams was a consensus all-american, while Kirk Carruth and Matt Beaty earned All-GLIAC honors.

In 2006, the Laker defense held its opponents to seven points or less five times, including a shutout in the season-opener at Findlay. GVSU led the nation in QB sacks per game (3.53), while ranking fifth in turnovers gained (37). The Lakers held 8-of-15 foes under 100 yards rushing. Mitchell’s linebacking unit featured AllAmerican Anthony Adams, Matt Beaty, Kirk Carruth and P.J. Beuke.

That group comprised four of the top 10 tacklers on the 2006 squad.

In 2005, the Lakers’ defensive charge led the nation in pass ef-

ficiency defense (83.6), ranked third in scoring defense (12.2), fifth in total defense (254.6) and seventh in rushing defense (88.3). Grand Valley State held its opponents off the scoreboard in 25-of-52 quarters played during the 2005 season and seven-of-13 opponents scored 10 points or less. In addition, nine-of-13 foes failed to reach the 100-yard rushing mark. The Grand Valley State defense yielded 15 TDs in 13 games last season, with six of those 15 TDs coming in the fourth quarter. The Lakers held three opponents out of the endzone for over 11 quarters to start the season.

Mitchell’s linebacking unit was key in the Lakers’ dominating defense in 2004. GVSU led the GLIAC in scoring defense (14.4), rushing defense (99.2), and total defense (281.2). The Lakers ranked second in pass efficiency defense (95.7) and QB sacks (33). GVSU held six teams to seven points or less with one shutout (34-0 at Wayne State).

Prior to his arrival at GVSU, Mitchell spent four years at Wartburg (Iowa) College as an assistant coach, including the final two as the defensive coordinator. Wartburg, which compiled a record of 21-3 while Mitchell was in charge of the defense, advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III National Championship each of his last two years. Wartburg finished third in total defense, second in rush defense and eighth in scoring defense in 2003 under Mitchell's guidance. His 2002 defense also ranked among the top 10 statistically in Division III. Mitchell is a certified strength and conditioning coach through the NSCA and a club coach certified through USA Weightlifting.

Mitchell was named the Football Quarterly Division II Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year in February 2007.

Mitchell earned his B.S.S in Biology and Secondary Education from Cornell (Iowa) College in 1997. Matt was a two-time, FirstTeam All-Midwest Conference selection as a defensive lineman during his playing career at Cornell (Iowa) College.

E.J. WHITLOW

ASST. COACH/DEFENSIVE LINE 4th SEASON AT GVSU RECRUITING AREA: Detroit, Western and Southern Detroit Suburbs, Cleveland

E.J. Whitlow enters his fourth season on the Laker football coaching staff as the defensive line mentor. GVSU’s defensive line has turned into one of the top defensive lines in the country annually under Whitlow. He has tutored six All-GLIAC honorees in his first three years as the defensive line coach.

The 2016 defensive line featured a pair of All-GLIAC performers in Sydney Omameh and Alton Voss. The Lakers limited opponents to 134.3 rushing yards per game, recording 40 QB sacks (-235) and 96 tackles for loss (-382). In addition, the GVSU defense held four opponents to seven points or less.

His 2015 unit included Matt Judon, the Gene Upshaw Award winner as the top interior lineman in the country. A consensus AllAmerican and the 2015 Defensive Player of the Year, Judon led the nation in QB sacks (21). As a team, GVSU ranked first in the country in QB sacks with 49. The 2014 unit was led by Matt Judon who earned Daktronics Super Region four honors with 72 tackles and 19.0 TFL. Isiah Dunning (62) and Matt Mosley (52) turned in productive seasons, while Alton Voss moved from tight end to defensive end and made an immediate impact.

Whitlow spent four years at Notre Dame College (Ohio) and was a part of the program from its beginning as the Falcons initial season playing football was in 2010. Whitlow was a graduate assistant in 2010 and 2011, but became the full-time defensive line coach in 2012.

Whitlow played collegiately at Findlay from 2006-10, where he was twice an All-GLIAC performer as a defensive tackle and was named the Oilers' 2009 Team MVP. He recorded 44 total tackles and 5.0 tackles for loss (-19) en route to earning All-GLIAC honors as a junior, followed by senior season in which he tallied career-highs in total tackles (60) and tackles for loss with six (-21) and was named First-Team All-GLIAC and team MVP.

MATT VITZTHUM

ASST. COACH/QUARTERBACKS 5th SEASON AT GVSU RECRUITING AREA: Northeast Michigan, Dayton, Cincinnati

Matt Vitzthum enters his fifth year on the Laker coaching staff and fourth as the quarterback coach, mentoring a position group that is as deep and talented as any in the country.

Under the watchful eye of quarterback Bart Williams, the 2016 Laker offense was prolific. Grand Valley State averaged 485.5 yards and 40.4 points per game. In addition, QB Bart Williams went over the 3,300 passing yards and 33 passing TD mark for the second consecutive year as he averaged a GLIAC best 16.9 yards per completion. The Lakers also eclipsed the 40-point mark six times.

In 2015 Vitzthum tutored the top freshman QB in the country and one of the top quarterbacks in the country regardless of class in Williams. Williams led the nation in TD passes with 45, while completing 273-of-480 passes for a GVSU single-season record 4,206 yards. Williams’ 12 wins as a freshman QB ranked second in GVSU annals behind Cullen Finnerty’s 13 wins as a starter in 2003. Bart ranked among the national leaders in every QB category and guided the Laker offense to averages of 38.4 points, 285.5 yards passing yards, 171.9 rushing yards and 457.5 yards of total offense.

He tutored a pair of quarterbacks through an injury riddled 2014 campaign. Seniors Heath Parling and Isiah Grimes battled through injuries the entire season and guided the Lakers to a 6-2 mark the final eight games of the season.

Vitzthum mentored one of the most productive running back units in the country in 2013. The group rushed for 2,798 yards and 32 TDs, while accounting for 186.5 yards per game. Michael Ratay (1,012), Chris Robinson (880) and Kirk Spencer (450) led the way for the Laker rushing game. Ratay earned All-GLIAC honors, but missed the final six games with an injury, while Spencer missed the middle portion of the season. Robinson was coming back from a season ending injury in 2012.

Vitzthum joined the Wittenberg coaching staff in 2012 after spending three years at St. Cloud State as a graduate assistant coach. Wittenberg finished with a 10-2 mark and advanced to the second round of the NCAA DIII Playoffs during the 2012 campaign. He tutored an allconference quarterback and helped direct an offense that led the league in total offense, passing efficiency and scoring.

Vitzthum served as the video coordinator and also coached both the tight ends and running backs at St. Cloud State, helping the team to a three-year record of 30-7, including two trips to the NCAA DII football playoffs. He coached three players who earned all-conference honors as St. Cloud State advanced to the NCAA Division II Tournament in both 2010 and 2011.

Matt played three years of football at Wartburg College, earning Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year and a varsity letter during his playing career. While working toward his bachelor of arts in business administration that he earned in 2009, Vitzthum spent two years serving as a student assistant coach, assisting the offensive coordinator with game plans and conducting weekly scout team meetings.

Matt and his wife, Alyssa, reside in Hudsonville with newborn son Hayden.

PREVIEW

Grand Valley State enters the 2017 ranked second in American Football Coaches’ Association poll. GVSU has now been ranked in the AFCA preseason top three 12 times since 2002 (16 polls) and the top 10 14 times. The Lakers have been ranked in every AFCA top 25 preseason poll the last 16 years, including a ranking as the number one team in the AFCA weekly poll an NCAA DII high 88 times since 2000, while NW Missouri State has been ranked number one 30 times.

Grand Valley State, which claimed the 2016 GLIAC Championship and completed the ninth undefeated regular season in program history, was the highest ranked GLIAC team in the final 2016 AFCA Coaches' Poll at #4. GVSU was also picked by league coaches to win the 2017 GLIAC title.

“We have the pieces needed to compete for a GLIAC Championship and advance to the NCAA Division II playoffs, but it takes a lot more than names of key returnees and transfers to win at this level of football,” said eighth-year head coach Matt Mitchell. “It takes a team that will “Embrace the Process” of doing everything needed to be successful, both on an off the field. Being a great teammate and caring about the person in the locker next to you than you care about yourself. If we are able to do those things the wins will take care of themselves,” added Mitchell.

Mitchell will welcome back 41 letterwinners for the 2017 season, including a host of preseason honor candidates on both sides of the ball. Junior RB Marty Carter was a consensus All-American a year ago after leading the nation and setting a GVSU single-season record with 1,908 yards and 20 TDs. Junior QB Bart Williams passed for 3,334 yards and 33 touchdowns as a sophomore and is 24-4 as a starting QB with 7,549 passing yards and 79 TDs. A deep and talented receiving unit returns, highlighted by seniors Brandon Bean (33-560, 3 TD) and Urston Smith(34-769, 8 TD), while junior Nick Dodson (58-864, 13 TD) is a game changer. In addition, two proven tight ends (Nick Keizer and Pete Cender) and four starters on the offensive line will be coming back in 2017. The offensive skill players are the top skill unit in the country returning as 74.7 percent (4,430 yards) of total yards returns.

Senior safety Garrett Pougnet chipped in 60 tackles and junior DL Dylan Carroll added 39 tackles, 14.5 TFL (-82) and 7.5 QB sacks (-61). Senior interior defensive tackle Keane Belcher is a proven performer on the defensive line and will be looking for a big senior campaign.

Senior Collin Schlosser is the undisputed leader of the Laker defense. Schlosser is and all-american candidate and will go down as one of the top linebackers in GVSU football history. Senior Garrett Pougnet made a seamless transition from safety to linebacker and will see action as a nickel and weakside backer. Senior Dae’Shaun Hurley will see action at nickel and sophomore Isaiah Nkansah will also see action as the weakside linebacker. Junior Brendan McMahon and freshmen Jace Demonov and Tyler Bradfield will also see action in the middle of the Laker defense.

Senior Tre Walton enters his senior season with the most experience in the defensive secondary and is a proven player. Junior Jacob Studdard, along with sophomores Kalen Dunham and Jailyn Harden will form the starting unit. Senior Kyle Short and Ball State transfer Darius Conaway will push for starting assignments at safety and corner.

Sophomores Thad Little, DaMario Johnson and De”Aundre Simpkins will also push for playing time.

Sophomore Dan Madden averaged 37.7 yards per punt a year and will handle those duties. Sophomores Bryce Lovelace and Avery Echols, along with freshman Jake Crabtree will battle for the place kicking duties. Junior J.J. McGrath will handle all kickoffs.

The schedule will be as challenging as every with six road games, five of which will come against teams that posted a winning record in 2016. The Lakers will open at GLVC foe Indianapolis, a program that has reached the playoffs three times in the last six years. Another non-league road game at Truman State (8-3 in 2016) will pose as a significant threat. GLIAC road game at nationally-ranked Ferris State and Ashland, along with a tough road contests at Michigan Tech and Wayne State add to the depth of the schedule.

“Our schedule will be a challenge and it is tough to win on the road in the GLIAC,” said Mitchell. “Again, we can not win six road game at one time so we need to embrace being on the road and playing in some tough stadiums. We get to play in the best division II game day atmosphere at home so we fully know how hard our opponents play in Lubbers Stadium and when they are at home.

ALLENDALE, Mich. - #3 Grand Valley State claimed a 55-7 victory over Lake Erie Saturday night before a crowd of 14,688 at Lubbers Stadium. GVSU improves to 2-0 both overall and in league action, while Lake Erie is 0-2. The Lakers will host Northern Michigan next Saturday at Lubbers Stadium to close the three-game homestand. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

It didn't take long for the Lakers to begin the scoring as sophomore RB Marty Carter raced 79 yards for a TD on the first play of the game. Carter took the handoff from sophomore QB Bart Williams and followed the lead block of C Aaron Cox untouched for the score. Carter finished a 9-play, 97-yard drive with 7:26 left in the first quarter with a 30-yard touchdown run and then completed the first quarter trifecta with a 2-yard TD reception from Williams to finish a 7-play, 66-yard drive.

Williams hit junior WR Urston Smith with a 62-yard touchdown pass at the 10:51 mark of the second quarter and senior PK Joel Schipper added the fourth of his six PATs to up the Laker lead to 28-0.

Senior RB Terrell Dorsey finished a 4-play, 74-yard drive with a 3-yard TD run at the 5:40 mark of the second quarter.

B. Williams completed a 29-yard pass to senior WR Matt Williams and Dorsey added a 38-yard run before his score on the drive.

The GVSU defense forced a Lake Erie punt late in the second quarter and the snap was fumbled by the Storm punter and recovered by Grant Postma. Junior WR Brandon Bean took the jet sweep handoff and scooted in from five yards out to give the Lakers a 42-0 halftime lead.

The starters for GVSU were done for the evening after 30 minutes of action, but put up some great numbers in addition to 42 points. The offense piled up 412 first half yards on just 31 plays for a gaudy 13.3 yards per play average. The defense limited Lake Erie to just 77 yards on 35 plays in the first half for a 2.2 yards per play average. The defensive line tallied four QB sacks in the first half.

Lake Erie's lone points came in the third quarter after a 58-yard reception to the GVSU 10 yard line and then a 10-yard TD pass and catch. The Laker defense yielded just 70 yards after the lone Lake Erie touchdown.

Junior QB Ollie Ajami engineered a 10-play, 60-yard scoring drive that he finished with a 3-yard TD run. The Laker offense finished the scoring with a 6-play, 84-yard drive that Ajami closed with an 8-yard TD run. Freshman RB Bryce YoungWalls opened the drive with an 18-yard run and Ajami his freshman receiver Austin Paritee for 33 yards.

Carter finished with 144 yards and two TDs on just nine carries, while Dorsey added 55 yards on six carries. Ajami chipped in 51 yards and two TDs on 10 carries and sophomore Christian Lumpkin added 45 yards on seven rushes. Young-Walls tallied 38 yards on four carries.

Bart Williams completed 8-of-11 passes for 196 yards and two TDs. Smith led the receiving corps with three catches for 134 yards and Paritee added 49 yards on two catches.

Senior DB Nate Cole led the defense with six tackles and a TFL (-4).

#2 Grand Valley State claimed a 24-21 GLIAC road win at Ohio Dominican Saturday afternoon in Columbus, Ohio. The Lakers improve to 5-0 both overall and in league action, while the Panthers fall to 2-3. Grand Valley State will host Ferris State next Saturday at Lubbers Stadium in the Anchor Bone Classic. Kickoff is set for 7:00 pm.

GVSU sophomore CB Devin McKissic sealed the win, picking off a Grant Russell pass at the Lakers' five yard line with :17 seconds left in the game. It was GVSU's fourth interception of the day. ODU had driven the ball 68 yards in 13 plays before the final pick.

After a scoreless first quarter Grand Valley State scored 17 second quarter points. The Laker offense took over on its own 28 yard line following an ODU punt and sophomore QB Bart Williams started to heat up. B. Williams drove the Lakers 72 yards in seven plays for a touchdown. Williams was 5-for-5 for 63 yards and concluded the drive with a 6 yard TD pass to senior WR Matt Williams. B. Williams hit M. Williams three times on the drive for 43 yards. Williams hauled in his 100th career catch on a 19 yard reception during the drive and catch number 101 was the 6 yard TD reception. Senior PK Joel Schipper added the PAT for a 7-0 lead with 4:07 left in the first half.

Ohio Dominican used a little trickery and showcased a fake punt late in the second quarter to move inside GVSU territory, but senior LB Marquez Gollman picked off a pass at the Laker 22 yard line with 1:21 left in the second quarter.

B. Williams went to work and put together a flawless 8-play, 78-yard scoring drive that took 1:05 off the clock. B. Williams was 6-for-7 for 74 yards, including two passes to M. Williams that covered 50 yards. Sophomore running back Marty Carter concluded the drive with a 2 yard TD run and Schipper added the PAT for a 14-0 lead.

Senior DE Sydney Omameh, who hails from Columbus, Ohio, stripped the ball carrier on the first play from scrimmage for ODU. B. Williams took one shot on a pass to the endzone before Schipper booted a career-long 47-yard field goal as time expired in the first half to up the GVSU lead to 17-0.

Following an Ohio Dominican touchdown, the Laker offense answered quickly.

Carter raced 36 yards on the first play and closed the drive with a 4 yard scoring run on fourth down to give GVSU a 24-7 lead. The scoring drive took 2:37 off the clock and was 63 yards in five plays.

Ohio Dominican added two more touchdowns to pull within three points before McKissic came up with his first interception of the year.

Grand Valley State picked off four passes, three of which came on the Panthers final four drives.

B. Williams completed 21-of-34 passes for 280 yards and one TD, while Carter rushed for 82 yards and two TDs on 16 carries to lead the running game. M. Williams hauled in nine catches for 172 yards and one TD. Nick Dodson caught a career-high eight passes for 59 yards.

Junior LB Collin Schlosser led the defense with 14 tackles and 1.5 TFL (-4), while Omameh tallied seven stops, two QB sacks (-16), two TFL (-16), a forced fumble and a recovery. In addition to McKissic, Donte Carey, Marquez Gollman and Jailyn Harden each picked off a pass.

Game 6

October 8, 2016

Allendale, Mich. - #2 Grand Valley State regained the Anchor-Bone Trophy Saturday night with a 35-23 victory over #14 Ferris State before a Lubbers Sta-

dium record crowd of 16,889, breaking the previous mark of 16,467 vs. Saginaw Valley State 2009. GVSU improves to 6-0 on the year and snapped the Bulldogs 16game road winning streak. The Lakers will host Truman State next Saturday at 4 p.m. in its annual Homecoming contest.

The Laker defense came up with the first big stop of the night after Ferris State had three plays from the GVSU 7-yard line on its first offensive possession.

Three consecutive incompletions from QB Reggie Bell was followed by a 24-yard field goal attempt off the foot of Wyatt Ford that sailed wide right.

The GVSU offense started fast as sophomore QB Bart Williams hit junior WR Brandon Bean for 18 yards, followed by an 18-yard run by senior RB Terrell Dorsey.

Williams hit sophomore WR Nick Dodson with a 25-yard completion to the Ferris State 20 yard line and sophomore running back Marty Carter contributed a 6-yard run and an 11-yard reception to set up a 3-yard TD run by Bearn. Senior place kicker Joel Schipper added the PAT for a 7-0 Laker lead as the 7-play, 80-yard drive consumed 2:52 off the clock.

The GVSU defense forced a Ferris State three-and-out and the Laker offense was back in action. B. Williams hit senior WR Matt Williams with a key thirddown completion, then hit Carter with an 11-yard pass-and-catch. The GVSU playbook opened up as Carter hit junior WR Urston Smith with a perfectly thrown 32yard TD pass on what started as a run to the left. The left-handed Carter is now 3-for-3 for 77 yards and two TDs in his career.

The Laker defense continued to play well, holding Ferris State to a pair of field goals after the Bulldogs moved inside the GVSU 20 yard line. Leading 14-6 Williams engineered a 9-play, 79-yard drive that resulted in a 1-yard TD run by Carter to increase the lead to 21-6. Carter carried the ball six times for 63 yards on the drive.

The Laker defense then came up with a big play as senior LB David Talley tipped a Bell pass that sophomore DE Dylan Carroll intercepted. Carroll returned the ball seven yards before fumbling, but redshirt freshman Kalen Dunham recoved the ball in the endzone for a Laker touchdown with just 3:15 left in the second quarter. Schipper added the PAT to up the lead to 28-6.

GVSU moved to the Ferris State 28 yard line on its opening drive up the second half, but the drive stalled and the Lakers were forced to punt. Ferris State drive 80 yards in six plays for a TD to pull within a 28-13 margin. The Bulldogs added another FSU continued to press and scored 10 points on its first two drives in the fourth quarter to pull within five points (28-23) with 8:32 remaining in the game.

Facing a third-and-nine Williams hit Bean with a key 20 yard completion, then he found Smith with a 21-yard completion. Williams then hit Dodson with a 39-yard TD pass and Schipper hit the PAT to up the lead to 35-23.

The GVSU defense held one final time as Ferris State drove inside the Laker five yard line, but four downs resulted -8 yards and GVSU ran out the clock for the win.

Carter toted the ball 28 times for 127 yards and one TD, while passing for another TD. Williams completed 14-of-24 passes for 200 yards and a TD. Dodson hauled in four passes for 92 yards, followed by Smith (3-60, 1 TD), Bean (3-50) and Carter (3-18).

Schlosser led the defense with 14 tackles, a QB sack and 3.5 TFL (3.5, -4), while Alton Voss added eight tackles, a QB sack and 2.0 TFL (-9). Talley chipped in 1.5 TFL (-9), 1.5 QB sack (-9) and pick off a pass. Sophomoe Dylan Carroll recorded 3.0 TFL (-11), picked off a pass forced a fumble. Senior DL Mark Rosenquist and senior DE Sydney Omameh each recovered a fumble as the Laker defense forced four turnover. Sophomore DB Devin McKissic tallied six pass deflections and recorded six tackles.

Allendale, Mich. - The #2-ranked Grand Valley State Laker football team claimed an impressive 41-3 non-conference victory over Truman State Saturday afternoon at Lubbers Stadium before an overflow crowd of 13,635. GVSU improves to 7-0 overall, while the Bulldogs fall to 5-2. Grand Valley State will hit the road next week with a 2:30 p.m. GLIAC tilt at Hillsdale.

The Lakers wasted little time in determaining the outcome to the Homecoming crowd. Truman State picked up a quick first down, but on third down senior DE Alton Voss tipped a pass that senior DT Mark Rosenquist picked off and returned six yards to the TSU 49 yard line. Sophomore QB Bart Williams hit senior WR Matt Williams with a 19 yard pass, followed by a 10 yard run by senior RB Terrell Dorsey. Sophomore RB Marty Carter then raced in with a nifty 20 yard TD run and senior PK Joel Schipper added the PAT for a 7-0 lead.

The Laker defense forced another turnover on the second play from scrimmage as senior LB Joe Moran made a one-handed interception at the Bulldog 38 yard line. Following an incomplete pass, Carter scampered 38 yards for another touchdown, just 55 seconds after the first TD, to up the GVSU lead to 14-0. Truman State was forced to punt on its third possession, but redshirt freshman LB Isaiah Nkansah blocked the punt and sophomore WR Jalen Bryant picked it up and scored from six yards out and GVSU had a 21-0 lead with 9:44 left in the first quarter.

"I thought we had a great approach all week at practice, but you are always worried about an emotional letdown when you have a win over a rival so it was nice to get off to a fast start," said seventh-year head coach Matt Mitchell.

Williams drove the Lakers 31 yards in eight plays, but the drive stalled at the Truman State 34 yard line. Schipper trotted out on the field and drilled a 51 yard field goal that would have been good from 65 yards to give GVSU a 24-0 lead. Schipper's field goal was the first made field goal over 50 yards since Doug Kochanski hit a 52 yard field goal in 1997. In addition, it was the third longest field goal in Laker football history.

Schipper added another field goal, this one covering 34 yards to conclude a 9-play, 69-yard drive that took 2:51 off the clock to up the Laker lead to 27-0 with 14:11 left in the second quarter. The GVSU offense continued to dominate, driving 76 yards in six plays as B. Williams hit sophomore WR Nick Dodson with a 30-yard TD pass. Schipper added the PAT for a 34-0 halftime lead.

Truman State did manage to block a GVSU punt and took over on the Laker 36 yard line. The Bulldogs picked up one first down, but GVSU forced a field goal attempt from 45 yards out that Danny Spencer converted for the only points of the game.

Grand Valley State concluded its scoring midway through the third quarter as B. Williams hit Dodson with a screen pass that he took 59 yards for a touchdown. Schipper converted his fifth PAT of the game and the Lakers led 41-3.

"This is a nice non-conference win over an in-region opponent that came in leading the GLVC," said Mitchell. "Our kids did a great job preparing for this game and it showed with the outcome," added Mitchell.

The GVSU defense limited Truman State to 127 yards of total offense, including just 27 rushing yards on 30 attempts. GVSU recorded seven tackles for loss (-29) and three QB sacks (-17). Junior LB Collin Schlosser led the defense with 10 tackles, while sophomore DE Dylan Carroll recorded three tackles, 2.5 TFL (-13) and 1.5 QB sacks (-9). Redshirt freshman LB Isaiah Nkansah tallied five tackles to go along with his blocked punt.

Carter led the ground game with 107 yards and two TDs on 13 carries, followed by redshirt freshman Bryce Young-Walls' 52 yards on six carries.

Senior Terrell Dorsey added 43 yards on 11 carries. Williams completed 14-of-24 passes for 279 yards and two TDs, while Dodson hauled in five passes for a career-high 120 yards and two TDs. M. Williams caught four passes for 77 yards.

GVSU improves 8-0 overall and 7-0 in GLIAC action, while Hillsdale, which lost at home for the first time in 2016, falls to 3-4.

The Lakers will host Findlay next Saturday at Lubbers Stadium.

It was a game of few possessions so the Lakers went into the game knowing they had to be efficient on offense. Following a missed field goal on its opening possession, the Lakers turned a Hillsdale fumble into points on its second possession. Senior LB David Talley caused a fumble when he hit Hillsdale QB Chance Stewart and junior LB Collin Schlosser picked the ball out of mid air. GVSU drove 77 yards six plays as sophomore RB Marty Carter raced 53 yards on a third and one play for a touchdown. Senior PK Joel Schipper added the PAT for a 7-0 Laker lead.

Hillsdale answered as Stewart hit WR Trey Brock with a short pass that he took 56 yards for a TD. Sophomore QB Bart Williams drove the Lakers 85 yards in 10 plays on its ensuing drive for a touchdown. GVSU picked up a key first down with a fourth down conversion run by senior RB Terrell Dorsey, then Williams then hit junior WR Urston Smith with a 20-yard slant pass over the middle for a TD. Hillsdale, aided by a plethora of penalties including a key third down targeting call, drove 86 yards in 14 plays for a short TD run to tie the score at 14-14. Hillsdale was awarded 42 yards on four Laker penalties on the drive.

The Lakers were forced to punt on its first two possessions of the second half and Hillsdale took a 17-14 lead with a 35-yard field goal that finished a 7-play, 30-yard drive with 2:14 left in the third quarter.

"I am really proud of this group because they did not flinch when things were not going well in the third quarter and we were down 17-14," said seventh-year head coach Matt Mitchell. "The offense stayed together and came through when we needed it the most."

Williams guided the Lakers on an 8-play, 82-yard scoring drive that took 2:45 off the clock, completing 3-of-4 passes for 58 yards. Carter completed the drive with a 14-yard TD run to give GVSU a 21-17 lead.

The Grand Valley State defense got the stop it was looking for, forcing a three-and-out that took just 1:05 off the clock. The Laker offense struck quickly as B. Williams hit senior WR Matt Williams with a double move that left him all alone for a 55-yard TD catch and after the PAT GVSU held a 28-17 lead.

Hillsdale drove inside the GVSU 20 yard line on its next possession, using 5:40 off the clock, but the Laker defense held again on fourth down to thwart a potential scoring drive. The Grand Valley State offensive line took over, guiding the offense on an 8-play, 81-yard scoring drive. Carter rushed seven times for 66 yards on the drive, including a 10-yard TD run to up the lead to 3517.

Carter led the way with 205 rushing yards and three TDs on 26 carries, while Dorsey added 47 yards on nine carries. B. Williams completed 15-of-26 passes for 218 yards and three TDs to fuel the passing game. M. Williams hauled in four passes for 80 yards and one TD, followed by junior WR Brandon Bean's three catches for 53 yards.

Schlosser led the defense with 11 tackles and a QB sack, while senior DL Sydney Omameh tallied four QB sacks (-26).

Senior DE Alton Voss forced a fumble and recovered a fumble for the Laker defense.

7-2 overall and 6-2 in GLIAC action, while Ashland improves to 9-0 both overall and in GLIAC action.

Coming into the game few would have thought this was going an offensive shootout, but after 60 minutes of football the teams combined for 985 yards of total offense and 76 points. However, two defensive stops by the Ashland defense inside its own five yard proved to be the difference.

Grand Valley State struck first with a 40 yard field goal by junior PK Joel Schipper to conclude a 9-play, 52-yard drive that took 3:20 off the clock. However, Ashland answered with a 9-play, 68-yard drive that took 3:53 off the clock to take a 7-3 lead.

The first Ashland stop that made a major difference in the game was on the Lakers next possession. Matt Williams returned a 60 yard punt 24 yards to the GVSU 32 yard line and the Lakers moved deep into Eagle territory. The GVSU offense was unable to punch it in and Ashland held the Lakers on a fourth-and-goal play from the Eagle one yard line. To make matters worse the eagles drove 99 yards in six plays for a TD to take a 14-3 lead. Ashland had a 72 yard completion and was assisted with a roughing the passer and face mask penalty on the drive.

GVSU answered with a scoring drive of its own, moving 67 yards in six plays for a touchdown. Junior QB Bart Williams hit senior WR Jamie Potts with a key third down completion to keep the drive alive and then found junior WR Matt Williams with a 40 yard TD pass. Schipper added the PAT to pull the Lakers back to within four (14-10).

Ashland went back on top 21-10 with a TD at the 5:19 mark of the second quarter to up its lead to 21-10.

Senior RB Kirk Spencer returned the ensuing kickoff 39 yards from the endzone and Bart Williams hit freshman WR Nick Dodson with a 61 yard TD pass on the first play to get the Lakers back to within four (21-17).

Ashland finished the half with a 26-yard field goal to take a 24-17 lead into the lockerroom.

Ashland took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove 74 yards in 12 plays to up its lead to 31-17 lead with 9:04 left in the third quarter. GVSU answered, driving 75 yards in seven play for a TD when B. Williams hit M. Williams with a 20 yard TD pass.

Ashland answered again with an 11-play, 51-yard scoring drive to build its lead back to 14 (38-24).

Ashland stopped the Lakers with a second goal line stand to maintain its advantage, but a GVSU defensive stop gave the Lakers another chance. GVSU drove 29-yards in six plays as B. Williams hit M. Williams with a TD pass that covered 19 yards to pull GVSU within seven (38-31) with 8:40 left in the game.

Ashland put the finishing touches on the win with a 46 yard TD run by Settlemire.

B. Williams completed 21-of-41 passes for 387 yards and four TDs, while three Laker receivers went over the 100 yard mark. Jamie Potts and Nick Dodson each caught six passes for 111 yards, while M. Williams caught five passes for 123 yards and three TDs. Kirk Spencer rushed for 52 yards on 12 carries as GVSU notched 451 yards of total offense. Spencer added 126 kickoff return yards. Marquez Gollman led the defense with 13 tackles and Donte Carey added 10.

University Center, Mich. - In a game of momentum swings, turnovers and big plays on both sides of the ball, it was a fourth down stop by the GVSU defense in the second overtime and a punishing running game that concluded the game with 27 consecutive runs.

GVSU had the ball first in the first overtime and ran the four consecutive times. Sophomore RB Marty Carter had runs of seven and two yards, followed by a punishing 15-yard run to the one and then a 1-yard TD run by senior RB Terrell Dorsey to put the Lakers on top. Senior PK Joel Schipper added the PAT for a 56-49 lead.

Saginaw Valley State tied the contest with a 24-yard TD pass and the PAT sent the game into a second overtime.

The drama continued as SVSU was stopped on a third down conversion on the first possession of the second OT and looked poised to kick a field goal on fourth down. However, the Cardinal field goal unit was missing the holder and called timeout. Saginaw Valley State then decided to go for the first down on fourth down, but the rushing attempt up the middle was denied by senior DT Mark Rosenquist and the rest of the defensive front a yard short.

The Laker offense took over and continued to punish the Cardinal defense with the ground game. Carter had runs of six and five yards, followed by Dorsey runs of five yards and no gain to force a third and five at the SVSU nine yard line. Carter blasted up the middle to pick up the third down conversion with a seven yard run and then finished the drive with a two-yard touchdown run for the win. " Wow, what a game," said seventh-year had Matt Mitchell. "That game had so many twist and turns and ebbs and flows, but our guys just continued to play the next play and showed some grit when we needed it the most. We had a several chances to hang our head and say it just wasn't our day, but that senior class was not about to let that happen and I am really proud of how they led our team. We have a lot to work on, but at the end of the day we are 10-0 and the 2016 outright GLIAC Champions," added Mitchell.

Saginaw Valley State scored first following a Grand Valley State turnover. Driving eight yards for a touchdown and following the PAT SVSU led 7-0 with 10:32 left in the first quarter.

The Laker offense regrouped with a 4-play, 69-yard drive that took 51 seconds. Sophomore RB Marty Carter had runs of 10 and 19 yards, followed by a 35-yard TD pass from sophomore QB Bart Williams to sophomore WR Nick Dodson. Senior PK Joel Schipper added the PAT for a 7-7 tie with 9:37 left in the first quarter.

GVSU's offense continued to roll, going 76 yards in four plays as Williams hit Dodson again, covering 17 yards for a TD. Senior RB Terrell Dorsey recorded a 25 yard run prior to Dodson snatching the TD pass from Williams.

The Laker defense forced a Cardinal punt and the offense continued to move the ball. GVSU drove 80 yards in five plays, highlighted by a 51 yard pass from B. Williams to senior WR Matt Williams and finished with a 9-yard TD pass from B. Williams to M. Williams at the 1:27 mark of the first quarter. Schipper added the PAT for a 21-7 lead.

Saginaw Valley State answered with a TD drive of their own, covering 76 yards in 12 plays as QB Ryan Conklin hit tight end Will Farr with a 17-yard scoring pass.

SVSU pulled to 21-20 at the half after a pair of field goals, covering 49 and 24 yards.

Saginaw Valley State turned another Laker turnover into points as Tommy Scott scored on a 23 yard run to conclude a 4-play, 34-yard drive. Following the PAT Saginaw Valley State held its first lead, 27-21, since early in the first quarter.

The Grand Valley State defense got in the scoring column as senior LB Marquez Gollman picked off a Conklin pass and returned it 34 yards for a touchdown.

Saginaw Valley State returned an interception 46 yards for a TD to take a 34-28 lead, then returned another pick 52 yards to the GVSU two yard line. However, the Lakers' Deonte Carey picked off a pass at the GVSU two yard line and returned it 48 yards to midfield to thwart the SVSU scoring opportunity.

B. Williams hit WR Urston Smith with completions of 17 and 28 yards, the second of which went for a touchdown. The PAT by Schipper gave GVSU a 35-34 lead with 2:37 left in the third quarter.

The Cardinals regained the lead with a 10 yard TD run by Scott and SVSU converted the 2-point conversion to take a 42-35 lead.

B. Williams connected with Smith for the second time, this pass play covering 54 yards for a TD to tie the game at 42-42 with 12:25 following the Schipper PAT. The defense forced a punt and the Lakers went on a 16-play, 73-yard scoring drive that took 8:37 off the clock. The drive consisted of 16 running plays, the last of which was a 5-yard TD run by Carter and the PAT put GVSU up 49-42.

The Cardinals sent the game into overtime with a 12-play, 75-yard scoring drive that took just 1:33 off the clock.

Detroit, Mich. -The #2-ranked Grand Valley State football completed the eighth undefeated regular season in program history Saturday afternoon with a 24-21 victory at Wayne State before a crowd of 4,449. The Lakers finish the 2016 regular season with an 11-0 record overall and a 10-0 GLIAC mark. GVSU, the top seed in the most recent NCAA DII Super Region Four rankings, will now await the NCAA DII Football playoff selection show that is set for 5 p.m. Sunday.

"I am extremely proud of this football team," said seventh-year head coach Matt Mitchell. "Winning 11 regular season games and going undefeated in the GLIAC is not easy and this group stayed together for 11 consecutive weeks, just trying to go 1-0 every week."

Grand Valley State struck on its second possession of the game as sophomore RB Marty Carter took a handoff from QB Bart Williams and raced 60 yards for a touchdown. Senior PK Joel Schipper added the PAT for a 7-0 Laker lead. The Laker defense forced a three and out to set the offense up in good field position on its next possession. Senior RB Terrell Dorsey rambled 16 yards on first down and Wayne State was called for pass interference on the second play. Williams then hit junior WR Urston Smith with a 13 yard completion and opened the second quarter with a 24-yard TD pass to Nick Dodson to complete a 4-play, 69-yard scoring drive. Schipper added the PAT for a 14-0 GVSU lead.

Wayne State answered with a 4-play, 68-yard drive of its own that concluded with a 43-yard pass from Donovan Zezula to Jamel Hicks for a touchdown to pull within seven (14-7) at the half.

GVSU opened the second half with a 3-play, 62-yard scoring drive that consumed 1:23 off the clock. Carter ran 44 yards to the WSU 16 yard line and Williams then connected with Dodson on a highlight reel 16-yard touchdown pass.

Schipper added the PAT for a 21-7 Laker lead.

Wayne State continued to battle and scored late in the third quarter and early in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 21-21 left.

"Our guys showed great composure when Wayne State tied the game and we executed when we needed to. We stayed aggressive because we felt like we could throw the ball deep and after we got the lead our ground game was able to pick up a couple of first downs and drain the clock," said Mitchell.

The Lakers went for the big play on first down as Williams hit Smith on a first-down pass play that covered 50 yards to WSU 25 yard line. GVSU moved to the Wayne State 12 yard line and Schipper drilled a 29-yard field goal to give the Lakers a 24-21 lead with 8:57 left in the game. Schipper moved into second place on the all-time scoring list with the field goal (363 points), passing former Laker great Erik Lynch (362).

Wayne State picked up one first down and moved into GVSU territory, but the Laker defense took over stopping the Warriors on a fourth-and-one play with a Dylan Carroll 11-yard sack.

"That was a big time stop by our defense because Wayne State had the ball on our 35 yard line with a second and three play and we forced them into a fourth down by stuffing the run up the middle twice and came up with a big sack," added Mitchell.

The Grand Valley State offense then used a 7-play, 3:10 drive to chew up the clock, giving the Warriors the ball back with just 1:37 left. Carroll added another sack and senior safety Donte Carey sealed the game with an interception.

Carter moved into second-place on the single-season rushing list (1,590) with his 20-carry, 165-yard outing. Carter also led the GLIAC in regular season rushing yards with his 1,590 yards. Williams completed 12-of-19 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns, while Dodson led the receiving unit with six catches for 61 yards and two TDs. Smith hauled in three passes for 69 yards and junior WR Brandon Bean caught two passes for 22 yards. Junior tight end Nick Keizer made a key third-down reception that covered 23 yards.

Collin Schlosser led the defense with 10 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss (-6) and a fumble recovery. Marquez Gollman chipped in nine stops and Garrett Pougnet eight. Carroll recorded six tackles and two QB sacks (-20). Wayne State entered the game averaging 281 rushing yards per game, but the Laker defense limited the Warriors to 189 rushing yards.

November 26, 2016

Allendale, Mich. - #2 Grand Valley State claimed an impressive 55-32 playoff victory over #8 Texas A&M-Commerce Saturday afternoon

at Lubbers Stadium. GVSU improves to 12-0 with the win and will host GLIAC rival Ferris State (11-2) next Saturday (Dec. 3) at Lubbers Stadium. GVSU upped its all-time playoff record to a 35-14, including a 35-9 mark since 2001.

The Lions decided to take the ball to open the game and the Laker defense forced a quick three-and-out. Sophomore RB Marty Carter gave everyone a glimpse of what his day would entail when he took his opening carry 36 yards to the TAMC 10 yard line. Senior PK Joel Schipper booted 23 yard field goal to give GVSU a 3-0 lead.

Texas A&M-Commerce tied the game at 3-3 with a 37 yard field goal, but that would be as close as the Lions would get the rest of the day. Sophomore QB Bart Williams drove the Lakers 41 yards in four plays as he connected with sophomore WR Nick Dodson with a 13-yard TD pass and Schipper added the PAT. Senior SS Donte Carey picked off TAMC QB Luis Perez on the first play and returned it 24 yards. B. Williams then hit junior WR Brandon Bean with a 25-yard TD pass that Bean turned into a SportsCenter highlight when he jumped over a defender and scored to give GVSU a 17-3 lead.

Following a Texas A&M-Commerce score, B. Williams concluded a 12-play, 96-yard scoring drive with a 28-yard TD pass to senior WR Matt Williams. GVSU answered a long TD pass by the Lions with a 9-play, 81-yard TD drive when Williams hit WR Brandon Bean with a 7yard TD pass to up the Laker lead to 31-17 at the half.

GVSU took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove it deep inside TAMC territory, but Yusef Sterling-Lowe picked off a pass and returned it 97 yards for a TD to pull the Lions within seven 31-24.

However, the Laker offense never blinked and Williams drove GVSU 71 yards in 10 plays as senior RB Terrell Dorsey scored on a 2yard run. The GVSU defense sniffed out a fake punt by TAMC and Williams guided GVSU on a 9-play, 45-yard drive that ended with a 4-yard TD run by Carter and upped the lead to 45-24. Schipper added a 38-yard field goal and Dorsey ran for his second TD on the day, this one covering 12 yards to complete a 4-play, 45-yard drive after junior FS Garrett Pougnet returned an interception 40 yards.

The Laker offense churned out a GVSU playoff record 598 yards of total offense, bettering the previous record of 562 versus East Stroudsburg in the 2005 NCAA DII Semifinals. The Lakers rushed for 287 yards and passed for 311 yards en route to 30 first downs.

Carter rushed for 217 yards and one TD on 33 carries, while catching two passes for 21 yards. Carters' 217 rushing yards ranks second all-time behind his 231 rushing yards at Colorado-Pueblo last season. Carter also became GVSU's all-time single-season rushing leader (1,807). Dorsey rushed for 71 yards and two TDs on 17 carries.

B. Williams completed 17-of-26 passes for 311 yards and four TDs, while Bean led the receiving unit with six catches for 109 yards and two TDs. Junior WR Urston Smith hauled in four catches for 82 yards, Dodson three for 60 yards and a TD and M. Williams two for 39 yards and a TD. Pougnet led the defense with 10 tackles and a pick, followed by six stops for CB Tre Walton, LB Collin Schlosser and David Talley. The Lakers had six pass breakups, two interceptions and five QB hurries.

GLIAC HISTORY The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC), founded in 1972, has been a leader in the advancement and promotion of intercollegiate athletics for men and women for 45 years.

The charter members of the GLIAC (pronounced GLEE-ack) were Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, Lake Superior State University, Northwood University (then Institute), and Saginaw Valley State University.

Expansion of the GLIAC began immediately with the addition of Oakland University in 1974. Hillsdale College, Northern Michigan University, and Wayne State University were accepted as members in 1975. In 1977, the conference lost its first member when Northern Michigan withdrew. Michigan Technological University filled the vacancy when it became a member in 1980. After the 1986-87 season, Northwood left the conference and was replaced by Northern Michigan. Northwood rejoined the conference in 1992.

After the 1989 season, the conference dropped football as a sponsored sport. The conference schools sponsoring football joined the members of the Heartland Collegiate Conference in forming the football-only Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference (MIFC), which began play in 1990.

After nine years as one of the premier conferences in Division II football, the MIFC merged as part of GLIAC on July 1, 1999. With the merger, the University of Indianapolis became an associate member as a football-only school.

The GLIAC entered a new era in the 1995-96 school year. Prior to that time, all GLIAC member institutions were located in the state of Michigan. On Dec. 14, 1994, membership was offered to Ashland University of Ashland, Ohio, and Gannon University and Mercyhurst College, both located in Erie, Pennsylvania. All three schools began their membership July 1, 1995.

On July 1, 1997, membership was granted to The University of Findlay, located in Findlay, Ohio. UF replaced Oakland University, which withdrew from the conference after the 1996-97 season as it moved to NCAA Division I status.

The GLIAC membership changed again when Tiffin University of Ohio joined the conference in the 2008-09 academic year. Tiffin was offered membership on June 20, 2007. The addition of Tiffin left the GLIAC with 12 full-time members as Gannon and Mercyhurst moved to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference after the 2007-08 season.

The GLIAC entered a new era during the 2009-10 academic year. Commissioner Tom Brown, who had presided over the league for 17 years, retried on June 30, 2009. The longest serving commissioner in the history of the GLIAC, Brown expanded the conference from 10 full members to 14 full members and two associate members. Also under his leadership, the conference has grown to offering championships in 21 sports while rising to prominence on the national level as GLIAC teams and studentathletes have achieved success both in the classroom and on the fields of play.

The Conference expanded on July 1, 2010 when Lake Erie College of Painesville, Ohio, and Ohio Dominican University, located in Columbus, joined the GLIAC. The League expanded further expand on July 1, 2012 when Malone University and Walsh University, both located in the Canton, Ohio area. Beginning in 2017-18, the Conference welcomed Davenport University and Purdue University Northwest to the membership as the Panthers and Pride begin GLIAC competition. Accordingly, Findlay, Hillsdale, Lake Erie, Ohio Dominican and Walsh withdrew from the conference at that same time.

The policy-making body of the GLIAC is the Management Council, which is comprised of three representatives from each member institution – its director of athletics, faculty athletics representative and senior woman administrator.

The presidency of the GLIAC Management Council is rotated alphabetically by school, with Mike Watson, Director of Athletics at Saginaw Valley State University, serving as GLIAC President in 2017-18. Dr. Donald Bachand, President of Saginaw Valley State University, will serve as the chairperson of the GLIAC President's Council this year.

The GLIAC made history when it hired Dell Robinson as Commissioner.

STADIUM

LUBBERS STADIUM

The Grand Valley State football team enjoys the friendly confines of Arend D. Lubbers Stadium, one of the top Division II facilities in the nation. Gameday at Lubbers Stadium brings a buzz of excitment and pride to the Laker football program. The surroundings of Lubbers Stadium have changed almost yearly and add to the overall festivities that are a part of a Laker football Saturday during the fall.

2017 will bring much of the same. The Lakers led the nation in attendance for the fifth consecutive year in 2016, drawing a single-season, school-record 100,388 in eight home games for a nation-leading average of 12,548. In addition, the Lakers set a single-game attendance mark with 16,889 versus Ferris State.

The most recent addition was a new video board that was unveiled for the 2016 football campaign. The board stats 40 feet tall and is 72.5 feet wide for a total display area of 2,900 square feet in the north end zone. The board features 977,408 pixels that offers six percent more resolution than a high definition television and a refresh rate of 24,000 Hz that is 100 times faster than a standard TV. The video display will have a 9,000 night brightness that will allow it to still pop in direct sunlight. The video board is the 40th largest on campus board in the country.

The field was lowered by eight feet and the track surrounding the field was removed prior to the 2012 campaign. Four rows of seats were installed and wrap around the field to accentuate the horseshoe that added about 2,000 seats. A grass slope also was also installed on the north side of the field underneath the video board, which will movee the band to the southeast corner of the stadium. The finished project, which includes the installation of an artificial turf playing surface, upped the capacity to 10,444.

For the 2011 season, the stadium saw a renovated student section with a permanent bathroom and concession building located behind. In addition, the home sideline

stands have been wrapped in blue acrylic for a more comfortable experience. Two seating sections were added to each end of the west side stands to accomadate the overflow crowds that have been a part of Lubbers Stadium since 2001.

The Lakers moved all of their football operations into the GVSU Football Center and the Rob Odejewski Weight Room in 2002. The Football Center includes a stateof-the-art locker room, equipment room, the Todd Jager training room and meeting rooms. The design doubled the size of the former building in the north end zone by adding over 4,000 square feet (2,000 sqaure feet on each side). Permanent lighting, a new playing surface, and six executive suites located on each side of the press box are additions added in the last seven years.

GVSU set a Lubbers Stadium and GLIAC singlegame, on-campus record with the 16,889 fans that watched Grand Valley State claim a 35-23 victory over Ferris State.

The Lakers set a GLIAC single-season attendance record in 2016 as 85,130 fans watched GVSU regular season home games. The 12,548 per game average in 2016 was also a single-season record.

Designed with the future in mind, the stadium can have permanent seating added when needed, with ultimate expansion to 20,000 seats.

The stadium and track complex was dedicated on September 15, 1979, and named in honor of former Grand Valley State president, Arend D. Lubbers. Lubbers was instrumental in raising more than $700,000 toward the $1,050,000 project. The majority of the cost was offset by gifts from GVSU football fans and private donors.

The original Lubbers Stadium was built around the existing football field of Prescription Athletic Turf (PAT).

The field, which is drained and heated by more than seven miles of tubing and electric coils, was installed in 1972, and opened in 1973.

The Lubbers Stadium press box was designed to accomodate both print and electronic media representatives. It’s spacious features include a television booth, two radio booths and an open air television and film platform on the second deck.

Grand Valley’s football team has been very successful in games at Lubbers Stadium. The Lakers have an all-time record of 187-39-1 (.824) since the stadium was completed in 1979 and GVSU is 102-9 at home since 2001.

STORIED TRADITION

Grand Valley State was one of only a handful of colleges and universities which began playing football in the 1970’s. According to NCAA records, the Lakers have been one of the most successful of all collegiate squads to take the field during that time period.

Laker football has been a key element of Grand Valley’s rise from a small college to a regional university. President Arend D. Lubbers began the push for a team when he arrived in 1969. A year later, a Laker junior varsity team took the field. Then, in the fall of 1971, the Lakers kicked off their first varsity season. “It was clear that Grand Valley was changing from a commuter college, to a residential school in need of activities such as music, drama, and athletics,” Lubbers recalled. “Football gave us the anchor, something you could build your weekend around.”

The Origin of the Program Lubbers came to Grand Valley from Central College in Pella, Iowa, which had a successful football tradition. He hired Zeeland native Ron Schipper, who had been at Central for 33 years, played in three national finals, and won one national championship.

“I was used to success at Central College, so when we started at Grand Valley, I wanted to have a successful program instead of throwing the ball out and saying, ‘O.K. boys, it doesn’t matter whether we win or not.’”

But despite Lubbers’ success at Central College, it took almost nine years before Grand Valley had the total package.

The First Varsity Team With blessing from the Board of Control, GV launched its football program to play a junior varsity schedule in 1970 and became varsity in 1971. On March 24, 1970, Lubbers, along with athletic director Charles H. Irwin, announced the hiring of Robert “Rip” Collins, a successful high school coach at Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills. Success didn’t come quickly for the Lakers, and it took almost three years to win a football game. Collins was unable to get the program off to a successful start after going 0-13 and being outscored 534-58 in 1971 and 1972.

Harkema Begins the Tradition E. James Harkema took over as head coach in January of 1973, coming to GV from Northern Illinois where he was an offensive backfield coach.

Also awaiting Harkema was a brand new football field constructed in 1972 which featured the first “prescription athletic turf” (PAT) football playing surface in the country.

It was ironic that Harkema opened the 1973 campaign against his alma mater Kalamazoo College, where he won 10 varsity letters

and led the Hornets to six MIAA championships.

John Mahan rushed 26 times for 158 yards and Steve Brems added 122 more to lead GV to its first football victory in its season opener at home, a 27-14 win over Kalamazoo. Defensive tackle Bryce Berth and offensive guard Tom Tefft were named the offensive and defensive players of the game.

To prove it was not fluke, the Lakers did it again the following week with Mahan rushing for 147 yards and Brems adding 138 as GV defeated Chicago Circle 40-8 in a night game played at Soldier Field in Chicago.

Grand Valley outscored opponents 259-120 and posted their first winning season. 1973 marked the start of the great football tradition at Grand Valley, and during the next 10 years under Harkema they would post a 68-29-1 record, win three Great Lakes Conference football championships and make one trip to the NAIA playoffs.

Also during that period, a number of Lakers would begin careers in professional football. Jim Schaap and Tom Tefft, 1971-73, were the first Lakers to sign professional football contracts when they signed with the Detroit Wheels of the World Football League in 1974, setting the stage for a number of GV football alums to follow into the National Football League during that period. They include Gary Evans 1975-77 (New York Jets), Ron Essink 1976-79 (Seattle Seahawks), Ron Rubick 1978-81 (Detroit Lions), Steve Michuta 1979-81 (Cleveland Browns), and Jeff Chadwick 1980-82 (Detroit Lions).

Many Laker followers feel that the 1975 team, with a 7-2-1 record, may have set the standards for many years to come. After dropping a hard fought 15-6 contest to Wayne State, which also included the loss of their quarterback Scott VanDyken for the season, the Lakers bounced back to shutout Ferris State, 38-0, for their first win over the Bulldogs, defeat Saginaw Valley and Hillsdale, tie Northwood, and lose on a trick play to Northern Michigan, 2117.

1976 was the year Grand Valley would receive national attention in more ways than one. It all started at Michigan Tech when Roger McCoy was credited with a 39-yard field goal although the ball never cleared the crossbar. Instead, the ball hit a public address wire some 50 feet in the air and the ball dropped straight down in front of the goal posts.

A lengthy deliberation following was dominated by Michigan Tech coach Jim Kapp, who brought the ground rule to the attention of the officials, that if that ball should hit the wire in flight, the down should be replayed. Kapp’s appeal was denied on the basis that he forgot to tell Grand Valley or the officials before the start of the game that the rule existed, and because the field goal was allowed, the Lakers walked away with a 10-8 victory. McCoy had set a GVSU record with a 60-yard field goal the previous week against Grand Rapids JC at Houseman Field.

The Lakers get on the Map The game which put Grand Valley on the map was the season finale against Northern Michigan. The Wildcats came into Allendale as defending champions, boasting an 18-game winning streak, ranked No. 1 in Division II and fresh off an 82-7 whipping of Nebraska-Omaha.

ABC television sent a crew to feature Northern Michigan, but it was the Lakers, playing 21 seniors who built up a 24-0 lead and went on to shock the Wildcats 31-14 before the then largest crowd in GV history at the time.

Reflections of that game even hit the state legislature, when the Representative Dominic Jacobetti of Neguanee vowed he would eat a pasties’ box if Northern were to lose. Although humbled, Jacobetti was true to his word, and ate a piece of cake looking like a pasties’ box that was furnished by Grand Valley president Don Lubbers.

STORIED TRADITION

Grand Valley Dominates the GLIAC Harkema’s teams had traditionally been built around defense and a solid running game. In 1977 he decided to go to the air and with senior quarterback Roy Gonzalez at the helm, a transfer from Toledo, the Lakers took to the air and won the first of three Great Lakes Conference Championships in a five year period.

Gonzalez was followed by quarterbacks David Quinley, Steve Michuta, and Jeff Lynch, who gave GV the most feared passing in the GLIAC. They were also blessed with outstanding receivers in Clint Nash, Michael Woods, Rubick Chadwick, and Bill Lucksted as the Lakers averaged seven wins a year from 1977-82.

Argument still exists over Harkema’s most successful team. The 1976 club, despite an 8-2 record, and posting the biggest victory in the school’s history, finished second in the GLIAC and missed the NAIA playoffs.

The First Playoff Year In 1978 with Quinley at the controls, the Lakers suffered early 49-22 and 49-3 losses to Northern Michigan and Bowling Green, but bounced back to win eight straight games including a repeat of the GLIAC title and an NCAA playoff victory over WisconsinLaCrosse. The team lost at Elon (NC) College 14-7 in the semifinals of the NAIA playoffs and closed out with a 9-3 record, the most wins in GV history at the time. The 1981 season was similar to 1978 when the Lakers lost 21-20 to Northern Iowa and 29-28 to Northern Michigan, but bounced back to dominate the GLIAC and win their third title despite a rash of injuries which devastated the club.

The Lakers Earn a New Stadium The Grand Valley football package was completed when the stadium and track complex named after its president, Arend D. Lubbers, was dedicated on September 15, 1979. The majority of these gifts included contributions from Laker football fans and private donors. The stadium was built around the existing PAT field with permanent seating for 4,146 fans. Beside the stadium/track complex, the new practice fields and the new Fieldhouse, which replaced the Dome in 1982, gave GV one of the finest Division II facilities in the Midwest. Harkema was on his way to building another winner when he accepted the head coaching job at Eastern Michigan. He resigned in November 1982 and was replaced by Bob Giesey, Ball State assistant, in December of 1982.

Giesey’s team lost the final two games of the season by two points, 31-30 to Northwood and 15-14 to Saginaw Valley to finish 4-6. The roof caved in the following year and GV went 0-10 and managed only 99 points for the season.

Beck Turns GVSU into a Winner Again Giesey resigned and Athletic Director Dr. George MacDonald began a nationwide search which climaxed with the hiring of Tom Beck, a Chicago native, who came to Grand Valley from the Chicago Blitz of the United States Football League and who had turned losing programs into winning ones at Illinois Benedictine and Elmhurst College.

It took Beck three games to get back on track in 1985. Faced with a 14-game losing streak, Beck made some key personnel changes. Beck installed Guy Schuler at quarterback and moved wide receiver Ray Buckner to tailback, linebacker Sylvester Johnson to fullback, and defensive tackle Brian Mulcahy to middle linebacker. The Lakers went out and defeated Evansville 28-14 and finished the year 6-5.

The next five years would see explosive offenses, outstanding players and solid coaching which would result in trips to the NCAA Division II playoffs, as well as the Lakers becoming a fixture in preseason and postseason rankings.

Beck’s 1986 team posted a 9-2 record, but that was only an inkling of this to come.

Undefeated in 1989 After a pair of 7-4 seasons in 1987 and 1988, the Lakers posted their first undefeated regular season with an 11-0 record and the final Great Lakes Conference Championship in 1989. GV led Division II in total offense, averaging 480.9 yards per game and also in points with 44.5.

One of the highlights of the 1989 season was GVSU’s record breaking 91-0 victory over Valparaiso. The Lakers jumped out to a 56-0 halftime lead as they rolled up 731 yards in total offense.

Freshman kicker Miguel Sagaro from Spain set a Division II record when he connected on 65 of 66 extra points for the season and sophomore fullback Eric Lynch scored 21 touchdowns. Lynch went on to begin an outstanding career with the Detroit Lions.

Grand Valley finished third in the final 1989 Division II poll and earned the first of three consecutive playoff berths, losing to Indiana, PA, 34-24 on a frigid November afternoon highlighted by 11 inches of snow on the ground.

Grand Valley Joins MIFC, Wins Inaugural Crown In 1990, Grand Valley, along with GLIAC members Ferris State, Hillsdale, Northern Michigan, Saginaw Valley, and Wayne State, joined forces with the schools from the Heartland Conference which included Ashland, Butler, University of Indianapolis, St. Joseph’s College, and Valparaiso to form the Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference.

The Lakers continued their winning ways, posting a 22-game regular season winning streak before falling at Hillsdale, 38-34.

GV won the inaugural MIFC crown, finished with a 10-2 record and lost to East Texas State, 2014, in the playoffs.

Kelly Moves Up Beck left Grand Valley the following March to become an assistant at Notre Dame, and Athletic Director Mike Kovalchik filled the position with 28-year old Laker assistant Brian Kelly, a graduate of Assumption College, who continued to lead the Lakers to success on the gridiron. He posted his 20th and 30th wins faster than any of his predecessors, and going into the 2003 season had a 104-34-2 record in twelve seasons of competition.

GV Defeats Defending National Champ, Goes To Playoffs For Third Straight Year Kelly’s first season was a roller coaster ride as the Lakers began by defeating defending Division II national champion North Dakota State, 21-17, in Fargo, breaking the Bison 25 game home winning streak as the Lakers became the first team to score a rushing TD in 38 quarters. The following week Grand Valley was shutout 33-0 in the Butler Bowl. Kelly’s 1991 team went on to post a 9-3 record, losing to East Texas State in the playoffs, 36-15.

Grand Valley shared its second MIFC crown with Butler, Ferris, and Hillsdale in 1992 with an 8-3 record. Kelly’s club returned to the playoffs in 1994 and posted an 8-4 mark after losing to IUP in the first round.

STORIED TRADITION

Kelly Continues Winning Tradition The Lakers posted back to back 8-3 seasons in ‘95 and ‘96, finishing second in the MIFC both years. GVSU earned a share of the conference title in 1997, with a 9-2 overall record, and finished the MIFC season 9-1, with only a 30-27 overtime loss at Saginaw Valley State.

Quarterback Jeff Fox led the Lakers to their second straight MIFC title and back into the playoffs in 1998 with a 9-1 conference mark. Fox became Grand Valley State’s first-ever Harlon Hill Award Finalist as he rewrote the GVSU single-season and career offensive record books. The Lakers season was ended by Slippery Rock in the first round of the playoffs, 37-14.

Kelly decided to go with a youth movement in 1999 and the inexperience showed as the Lakers stumbled to a 5-5 finish. The 2000 season started slowly as a tough early schedule dropped GVSU to 0-3. However, the Lakers did not quit after the rough start and responded with a six-game winning streak to end the season at 7-4.

In 2001 the dividends of getting young players some vaulable experience showed as the Lakers not only won their first- ever playoff game but advanced to the 2001 National Championship.

Behind an offensive attack like no Division II school before it, Grand Valley posted a perfect 10-0 regular season with an average of 58.4 points per game and 48.0 average margin of victory.

GVSU’s march to the championship game was not easy, however, as quarterback and Harlon Hill Finalist Curt Anes, was injured in the Lakers’ first playoff game. Grand Valley responded with a first round 42-14 victory over Bloomsburg, a 33-30 second round win

over Saginaw Valley State, and a semifinal win over Catawba College, 34-16, with two back up quarterbacks. In the championship game against North Dakota the Lakers took a 14-10 lead with 2:46 left in the game, but the Fighting Sioux responded with a last minute drive of their own to take the title, 17-14.

Finish what we started was the motto of the 2002 season.

Curt Anes returned from a serious knee injury to guide GVSU to a perfect 10-0 regular season mark. GVSU defeated three ranked teams en route to the undefeated season. The playoffs began with a convincing 62-13 win over C.W. Post. Then came a matchup against longtime nemesis Indiana (Pa.). GVSU entered the game 0-6 against the Indians all-time, however, scored on its first eight possessions in the first half and built a 50-7 lead. The Lakers cruised to a 62-21 win and advanced to the NCAA DII semifinals.

Grand Valley State again jumped out to an early lead and never

looked back with an impressive 44-7 victory over Northern Colorado. The win advanced GVSU to the NCAA DII National Championship game for the second straight year. The #1 ranked Lakers squared off against #2 Valdosta State for a winner take all game.

GVSU led 17-6 at the half and 24-6 midway through the fourth quarter. However, VSU scored 18 unanswered points to tie the game with just over three minutes remaining. Anes, who won the Harlon Hill Award as the DII Player of the Year less than 24 hours earlier, drove the Lakers 68 yards in 2:05 for a TD to give GVSU the 2002 NCAA DII National Championship. Anes hit All-American David Kircus on a 10-yard pass for the winning score. Grand Valley State went wire-to-wire as the top-ranked team in Division II and finished with a perfect 14-0 record.

Following “Finish What We Started” in 2002, the 2003 motto was “Tradition Never Graduates”. Gone from the 2002 team were 25 seniors that concluded their careers with back-to-back appearances in the NCAA DII Championship game. However, someone forgot to tell the the 2003 squad that the run was over. The 2003 campaign started with a road win over perennial DII power UC Davis that was now a I-AA school. GVSU limited the highpowered Aggie offense to just two field goals, while GVSU’s AllAmerican placekicker, David Hendrix, booted three field goals, the final one coming in overtime to give a young GVSU squad a 9-6 win. A resounding win over West Michigan rival Ferris State followed as the Laker defense scored a pair of TDs. Wins over Wayne State, Hillsdale, Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan built the Lakers’ overall winning streak to 20 games and the conference streak to 29 games. A date with fourth-ranked Saginaw Valley State was next on the ledger and GVSU and GLIAC record crowd of 12,832 attended the much anticipated contest at Lubbers Stadium.

GVSU turnovers and miscues filled the second half and the Cardinals capitalized to claim a 34-20 victory.

GVSU regrouped and notched a 33-14 win at Northwood to build momentum towards another playoff run. However, this playoff run would have to be done on the road as GVSU entered the playoffs seeded third in the Northeast Region. The Lakers opened with a 65-36 win at Bentley College that set up a rematch with SVSU. Scott Mackey picked off a pass late in the second quarter to score the games only TD and give GVSU a 10-3 win. A win (313) in south Texas over Texas A&M-Kingsville propelled GVSU into its third straigth NCAA DII Championship game. A familar foe, North Dakota, was on the docket in a game that was sure to be a defensive battle. GVSU led 3-0 in the third quarter, but UND was deep in Laker territory and looking to take the lead before junior defensive back Lucius Hawkins made the play of the game.

Hawkins forced a fumble by the Sioux QB that he in turn picked up and raced 59 yards to the North Dakota 20-yard line. All-American Michael Tennessee scored three plays later from three yards out to give GVSU a 10-0 lead. GVSU led 10-3 in the closing minutes as North Dakota was driving. Senior linebacker Mike Hoad would have none of that and picked off a pass on the Laker 10 to preserve the win and give GVSU back-to-back NCAA DII National Championships. The 2003 GVSU senior class etched their names in the record books by becoming just the second team (North Alabama) in NCAA DII history to make three consecutive trips to the title game. The Laker seniors were 47-2 in their final 49 games and tallied a four-year GLIAC record of 34-4.

Chuck Martin Takes Over The Reins Of Laker Football The 2004 season opened the era of a new mentor as Brian Kelly left following the 2003 season to take the head coach job at Central Michigan. Enter Chuck Martin as the fifth head coach in the history of the Laker football program. Martin won more games (10) than any of the four previous head coaches in their first year at the helm.

In addition, the Lakers advanced to the NCAA DII Quarterfinals for the fourth straight year. The 2004 Laker seanior class concluded their careers with a 51-5 record, including two National Champi-

onships and three title game appearances. The 51 wins by the Laker senior class tied the DII record for wins in a career. DT Keyonta Marshall became GVSU’s first-ever three-time All-American and Grand Valley State continued to set single-season attendance records with a single-game average of 10,799 in 2004.

National Championship Number Three Year number two in the Chuck Martin era started with a lot of promise and ended with a National Championship.

GVSU swept through the regular season with a perfect 9-0 record. Grand Valley State held the top spot in the AFCA poll after a 14-10 comeback win at Ashland on Sept. 17. The Lakers claimed a pair of impressive wins in October over nationally-ranked opponents. GVSU claimed a 31-10 victory over #4 Saginaw Valley

State and then one week later tallied a 30-14 win at #5 Northwood.

The Lakers’ final game of the regular season was cancelled due to lightning on a November night.

GVSU received a bye as the top seed in the Northwest Region and opened the playoffs with a familar foe in North Dakota. GVSU dominated the contest defensively and had all the points they needed by the half (14-0) en route to a 17-3 victory. A rematch with Saginaw Valley State was next and the Cardinals built a 14-7 halftime lead. However, a crucial TD on fourth-and-one tied the game in the third quarter and GVSU added 10 more points to claim a 2417 victory. The semifinals were next and East Stroudsburg (Pa.) was all that stood between the Lakers another trip to Florence. The Warriors didn’t stand in the way long and GVSU raced out to a 410 lead midway through the second quarter and went on to claim a 55-20 victory.

Grand Valley State was making its fourth appearance in the NCAA DII title game in the last five years. The Lakers trailed Northwest Missouri State 17-14 midway through the fourth quarter when they started their National Championship game-winning drive. Junior QB Cullen Finnerty hit WR Eric Fowler with a key third-down pass to keep the drive alive. Senior WR Brandon Langston thought he let the title slip away when a Finnerty pass just slipped through his hands. However, Finnerty came back to the Lakers’ playmaker later in the drive and boy did he prove worthy of the task. Langston took a screen pass and raced 35 yards to paydirt to give GVSU a 21-17 lead with just over four minutes remaining. The Bearcats picked up a couple of first downs and had one final play from the Laker 25 with one tick left on the clock.

The pass was completed, but senior safety Joe Ballard and sophomore linebacker Kirk Carruth made sure it was short of the goal

Allendale Becomes Titletown Allendale, Michigan officially became titletown of Division II football on Dec. 16, 2006. Grand Valley State captured its fourth NCAA DII Football National Championship in the last five years (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006), becoming just the second team in DII history to finish the the season with a 15-0 mark.

QB Cullen Finnerty scored the game winner early in the fourth quarter on a 4-yard run and the Laker defense preserved the win. Finnerty ran for 117 and passed for 225, while cornerback Bill Brechin picked off two passes and recovered a fumble for the defense. GVSU also played on national television three times (ESPN2 twice and CSTV) during the 2006 season. An incredible 21 players earned All-GLIAC plaudits, including nine first-teamers.

The GVSU 2006 senior class ended their playing careers with a 52-4 overall mark and three National Championships. Including a redshirt year in 2002, the senior class was 66-4 with four National Championships.

Grand Valley State didn’t win the 2007 NCAA DII Football National Championship, but it took an unforseen road trip, an ice storm and a record-setting performance by an all-american running back to keep the Lakers out of the title game. The Lakers went through the regular season with a perfect 10-0 record and won its first two playoff games en route to the NCAA Division II Semifinals. The 12 straight wins ran the Lakers’ Division II record win streak to 40 games before it ended with a loss at No. 5 Northwest Missouri State in the semifinals. The Lakers were ranked No. 1 in the nation until their loss in the 13th game.

Sophomore Brad Iciek excelled in his first season as GVSU’s starting quarterback and compiled a quarterback efficiency rating of 168.12 by completing 61.1 percent of his passes for 2,850 yards and 30 touchdowns.

Following the season, defensive back Brandon Carr was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs as the fifth pick in the fifth round of the NFL draft. Carr was the first Laker to be drafted since Keyonta Marshall was drafted in the second day of the 2005 draft.

Three other Lakers earned various all-american honors following the season. Adams was named to the American Football Coaches Association All-American First Team, as well as the AP and Daktronics, Inc. All-American First Teams. Brandon Barnes earned AP and Daktronics First Team All-American plaudits, as well. He also took home the Gene Upshaw award as the best lineman in Division II football.

Head coach Chuck Martin was named the NCAA Division II AFCA Region 3 Coach of the Year after leading the Laker football program to a third consecutive undefeated regular season.

The Lakers tallied their fourth consecutive undefeated regular season and fourth straight GLIAC title in 2008, however, a 19-13 double overtime loss to eventual national champion MinnesotaDuluth dimmed the shine on the regular season. Iciek was a finalist for the Harlon Hill Award for the second straight year, while DT Dan Skuta, OC Billy Eisenhardt and OT Sam Allen were consensus all-america selections.

The Lakers rebounded and won seven straight games to end the season, however, GVSU was not selected for the NCAA DII Playoffs for the first time in 10 years, despite claiming a 49-24 win over Saginaw Valley State in the season finale. The Lakers claimed the 2012 GLIAC North Divsion crown, but an 8-3 mark, including a 7-3 GLIAC record, did not qualify them for the playoffs.

Mitchell guided the Lakers to a 12-3 overall mark and a 9-2 regular season mark in 2013. The Lakers also notched a 4-2 mark against teams that finished the year ranked in final AFCA Coashes’ poll. GVSU closed the 2013 regular season with a 49-34 victory over 15th-ranked Saginaw Valley State. The Lakers and Cardinals were paired up against one another in an NCAA Super Region 4 first-round playoff matchup jusst one week later and GVSU again came out on top, this time by a 40-7 score.

THIS IS GVSU FOOTBALL

LAKERTRADITION

Since 1971, when Grand Valley State University kicked off the first season of varsity football in Allendale, the Lakers have established themselves as one of the most successful college football programs in the country.

Grand Valley has won national championships, rewritten record books, and produced numerous all-americans and NFL caliber players on the way to becoming a force in Division II football.

By Percentage

From Grand Valley State's first all-american in 1974 to the 2002 season when 11 Lakers garnered various all-america honors, GVSU has produced some of the top players in the country. Since 2001, the Lakers have had at least four players earn all-america plaudits each season with the exception of three years.

Eric Lynch (1989-90), Jeff Fox (1998), Curt Anes (2001-02), Cullen Finnerty (2006), Brad Iciek (2007-09) and Marty Carter (2016) finished among the top eight finalists for the Harlon Hill Award.

After finishing second in 2001, despite having the most first place votes, Curt Anes claimed Division II’s top award in 2002 and led Grand Valley State to its first National Championship the following day.

Florence, Alabama became the “home away from home” for the Laker football program in the 2000’s. GVSU has made the trip from Allendale to Florence six times during the decade. The Lakers own an impressive 6-3 record in national semi-final games, along with a 4-2 record in the championship game.

The Lakers held the longest active streak for playoff appearances in Division II at 10.

GVSU appeared in the playoffs every year from 2001 through 2010. Grand Valley held a 27-5 record during the 10-year playoff streak.

2006 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

In 2006, the Lakers successfully defended the national championship. Along with the title defense, the Laker football program went 15-0 for the first time in school history and for just the second time in NCAA history as well. Chuck Martin earned his second AFCA Coach of the Year plaudit in just his third season as the coach of the Lakers. Cullen Finnerty finished second in Harlon Hill balloting, while Mike McFadden received his second consecutive Gene Upshaw Award in 2006.

The Lakers went wire to wire as the #1 team in the country. Grand Valley got off to a bit of a rough start early in the season, but was able to peak at the right time despite suffering key injuries on the offensive line and defense. GVSU moved through the playoffs without too much of a scare, defeating South Dakota, North Dakota, and Delta State by an average score of more than two touchdowns.

In the championship game, Grand Valley defeated a determined NW Missouri State for the second year in a row, 17-14. Cullen Finnerty was responsible for both Laker touchdowns, while Billy “Pix� Brechin intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble to clinch the win.

2005 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

The Lakers again returned to Florence, Ala. making their fourth appearance on ESPN in just five seasons.

AFCA Coach of the Year, Chuck Martin, led the Lakers to a second undefeated championship season in just his second campaign as head coach. Grand Valley State became just the third school to win three Division II football National Championships.

Cullen Finnerty, who ran for two touchdowns, connected with Brandon Langston on a screen pass which he took 35 yards to paydirt for what would be the eventual winning touchdown.

The Laker defensive unit stood tall, as Mike McFadden continued to pressure the NW Missouri State quarterback despite fighting an injury from the previous week. As the game came down to the final seconds, Kirk Carruth and Joe Ballard stuffed a last gasp pass completion just short of the goal line to seal the victory.

Josh Bourke and Mike McFadden garnered all-american honors, and McFadden also earned the Gene Upshaw Award. The senior class finished as the winningest class in GVSU history (51-4).

2003 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

In contrast to the 2002 season, the Lakers took to the road to claim the national championship in back-to-back seasons. In the end, GVSU would travel 13,232 miles to defend the title.

Grand Valley continued its winning ways after graduating 13 starters from the previous season.

Depsite seeing its 20-game win streak come to an end in the middle of the season, GVSU regrouped to finish strong with only one blemish preventing another undefeated season.

Scott Mackey scored the only touchdown against Saginaw Valley in the playoff rematch to give the Lakers a 10-3 victory over Grand Valley’s biggest in-state rival. The win would give the Lakers a berth in the semifnals where GVSU ran over highly touted Texas A&M-Kingsville for a return to the championship game in Florence, Ala.

Mackey, along with Lucius Hawkins, would help lead the Lakers in a tough battle versus North Dakota in the championship game. In the end, Mike Hoad would play the hero as he put an end to a late Fighting Sioux drive by picking off a pass to give the Lakers a 10-3 win against the team who narrowly defeated them in the 2001 championship game.

2002 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

Staking the claim as one of the most explosive and dynamic football teams in DII history, the 2002 Lakers went wire-to-wire as the #1 team in the nation with an incredible 11 players that earned some sort of all-america mention.

GVSU completed its second undefeated regular season in 2002, on its way to winning the GLIAC title for the second consecutive year. The Lakers would go on an amazing playoff run before returning to Alabama to face Valdosta State in the title game. Grand Valley posted an average margin of victory of 42 points in three playoff games versus C.W. Post, IUP and Northern Colorado.

The title game featured the first NCAA Division II championship game in which the top two teams in the country were both undefeated. Grand Valley entered as the #1 team, while Valdosta State was ranked #2. GVSU led for most of the game, but a Valdosta State comeback effort put the Blazers in position for the win. However, a calm, cool and collected Curt Anes found Kircus late in the fourth quarter to cap off a 65-yard drive to take the lead. Darren Smith tallied his second interception of the game to put Valdosta State away and seal the Lakers’ first championship.

All-american David Kircus racked up a Division II championship game-record 270 receiving yards and three touchdowns to lead the Lakers to their first national championship.

THESTREAK

From August 27, 2005 through December 1, 2007 Grand Valley State’s football team left the field as the victor for 40 consecutive games.

GVSU stood the test of time to put its name in the history books by breaking the record for the longest winning streak in NCAA Division II history.

Game 16 Sept. 16, 2006

Game 11 Nov. 26, 2005

Hillsdale College set the record in 1957 with 34 straight wins. That mark stood strong for 50 years with few challengers. As history has shown, the record for the longest winning streak is a virtually impossible task to conquer.

Wilkes and Morgan State reached just over 30 wins in the late-60’s, but no school would test the record again until 1995 when an undefeated Bentley team dropped what would have been their 31st consecutive win in the last game of the regular season against Stonehill.

Grand Valley’s path to 40 straight wins came from a more unique direction than those in the past. While Hillsdale, Wilkes, Morgan State, and Bentley all made their runs through regular season and in-conference bowl game wins. The Lakers faced the best in the country each year after the regular season concluded in a playoff system. The “second season” provides a different type of challenge by adding four or five extra games against nationally ranked opponents each season.

The improbable 40-game winning streak consisted of three consecutive undefeated regular seasons, three postseason berths, 11 playoff victories and two national championships.

QUARTERBACK U

The Laker offense has been directed by seven quarterbacks since 1996 and if you go all the way back to 1985, 12 primary signal callers have lined up under center. Four of GVSU’s last seven quarterbacks have been Harlon Hill Award finalists as the DII Player of the Year. Current QB Bart Williams is on his way into that exclusive club with a 24-4 record as a two-year starter.

Brad Iciek concluded his career at GVSU in 2009 and he was a finalist for the Harlon Hill Award each of his three years. Cullen Finnerty concluded his college football career with the Lakers in 2006 and in his four seasons as the starter for Grand Valley Finnerty became the winningest starting QB in NCAA history with a 51-4 record. Finnerty also led the Lakers to a 14-1 record in the playoffs with three championship victories.

Curt Anes finished his career at the top with the Lakers, leading GVSU to its first-ever NCAA DII Football National Championship during his senior year in 2002. Anes finished second in the Harlon Hill voting as a junior, despite having the most first place votes, before winning the award in 2002. Anes held the school record for most passing yards in a career (10,581) when he completed his four year career.

Before Cullen Finnerty and Curt Anes, Holland native, Jeff Fox was setting records and laying the foundation for future Laker signal-callers.

Fox became the first Grand Valley QB to throw for over 2,000 yards in multiple seasons. In each of Fox’s three seasons at the helm of the offense rank in the top 10 for passing in Laker annals. Kwame McKinnon, Jack Hull, Guy Schuler, Jim Lynch, and David Quinley are just a few more athletes who have stood tall as the field general for the Lakers in past seasons.

NATIONAL AWARDS

The Gene Upshaw Award was introduced to NCAA Division II in 2004 to represent the lineman of the year. Since its inception, the Manheim Touchdown Club has crown 13 winners of the award, with four of those recipients hailing from GVSU. Mike McFadden earned the honor in 2005 after leading the Lakers to a national championship.

McFadden then capped off his career by winning the award again in 2006. Brandon Barnes kept the hardware in Allendale by garnering the most votes in 2007. Matt Judon claimed the honor in 2015 when he was a consensu All-American and set the DII single-season mark for QB sacks.

Curt Anes brought the Harlon Hill Trophy back from Alabama in 2002 along with the first national championship trophy. Anes finished second in 2001, even though he tallied the most first place votes. Jeff Fox and Eric Lynch both preceeded Anes as Harlon Hill finalists. Lynch was the first two-time nominee from Grand Valley (1989, 90) and Jeff Fox reached the national stage in 1998 when he would finish third in the voting. Cullen Finnerty finished his career with three national championship victories and a second place finish in the 2006 Harlon Hill voting.

Brad Iciek kept the tradition alive, being the first GVSU player to be named a Harlon Hill finalist for three consecutive seasons.

The Rimington Award honors the top offensive center in the country and the Lakers’ Matt Armstrong captured the 20013 honor. Armstrong was a consensus all-america selection en route to being named the nations top center.

ALL AMERICANS

No NCAA DII program has produced as many All-Americans as Grand Valley State since 2001.

Curt Anes, Dale Westrick, David Kircus, Reggie Spearmon, Josh Bourke are just a few of the Lakers that built the decade of dominance. Lucius Hawkins, Scott Mackey, Eric Fowler, Brandon Langston, Keyonta Marshall and Mike McFadden continued the individual accolades and in 2013 senior center Matt Armstrong and and sophomore tight end Jamie Potts added to the impressive group.

In 2014 - 2016 Jim Walsh, Marquez Gollman, Matt Judon, Matt Williams and Marty Carter have continued to achieve success on the gridiron.

Tom Tefft earned the first postseason award from the NAIA in 1973. Since then, the Lakers have earned well over 100 all-america awards.

Just a few seasons later, in 1975, Dan Karpowicz proved to have the talent to lead the Lakers to national prominence. He was the first player from GVSU to earn the national award from the NAIA ranks.

In 2002, while the experts were debating if the Lakers were the best team in NCAA Division II history, GVSU tallied eleven different all-americans.

Now that the tradition has been built, the Lakers produce some of the nations best players every season as they contend for the national championships, all america honors and national awards every year.

GAME DAY

From players walking to the football center being greeted by tailgaiting fans before the game, to the fireworks that light up the sky to signal a Laker touchdown, a football game at Lubbers Stadium has become a community event.

Just before each game the football players rush the field toward the student section to the cheers of well over 13,000 fans at each home game. It doesn’t get any better than Laker football in Lubbers Stadium.

“The crowd [GVSU student section] was extremely loud. We had a difficult time at that end of the field the whole game. They are one of the loudest crowds we’ve played in front of.” -Bob Biggs, UC Davis head coach after GVSU defeated UC Davis in 2002

Lubbers Stadium is one of the most exciting Division II venues in the country. The stands are regularly packed with thousands of excited students providing a homefield advantage in the south end zone. Opposing players are surrounded on game day between the student section, Laker fans that fill the seats on each side, as well as the GVSU Marching Band in the north end zone.

Both fans and players are able to experience game day in Allendale more than most any other program in the country. Since 2001, the Lakers have played 24 extra home games in the postseason. Laker game days can’t be contained to just six games per year.

THE COMMUNITY

Student-athletes at GVSU have the opportunities to gain a great education, participate in college athletics and make a difference in the world around them.

Football players have helped on campus the last few years by lending a helping hand on freshman move-in day. The Lakers have also looked to impact the community in different ways, from hurricane relief in Mississippi, visiting a Ronald McDonalds house, helping with youth football camps, and clearing room for a play area at a local camp.

The Laker football team logged over 3,000 hours of community service each year since the 2004 academic year at various charitable organizations in West Michigan.

MEDIA COVERAGE

GVSU has appeared a number of times in Sports Illustrated because of its success in the 2000’s. The Lakers have also been highlighted twice in the “Leading Off” section of the magazine. They have also been featured on the national stage by USA Today. The Lakers appeared on College Football Live’s 50 States Tour in 2009 during the show that featured the State of Michigan on ESPNU.

The Lakers are also regularly covered by the MLive, which is read by over 1,000,000 state wide on a daily basis. In addition, the Holland Sentinel, Grand Haven Tribune, the Lansing State Journal, the Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press cover the Laker football program.

All of Grand Valley State’s home games are shown live on ESPN3 and TV throughout the State of Michigan. GVSU has also been on the ESPN family of networks 17 times in the last nine years.

FACILITIES

Arend D. Lubbers Stadium is the home of Laker football. The Lakers have played at Lubbers Stadium since 1972 and have amassed a .829 winning percentage in those 45 seasons.

Lubbers Stadium is the focal point of the Laker football program. Since its construction it has seen many additions to improve the facilities.

Including the 2016 video board and 2012 renovations, which included lowering the field eight feet and taking out the track to add four rows that form a horseshoe, Lubbers Stadium has changed yearly. In recent years the stadium has expanded the home stands by one full section on each side, a new student section was built, luxury suites were added.

FACILITIES

The Lakers are housed in the football center that sits next to Lubbers Stadium. The building includes meeting rooms for each position as well as a team room which can be used for full team meetings and press conferences.

Next to the Football Center sits the Rob Odejewski weight room which opened in 2002.

The weight room was rededicated on August 22, 2014 after a complete makeover on the inside with both equipment and appearance.

In the fall of 2008, the university opened the doors to the Laker Turf Building which has already been honored with national awards for its construction. The football program uses the facility to avoid adverse weather conditions during practices and also during off-season workouts. It features a full six lane track and a 100 yard Field Turf surface.

THE GVSU FOOTBALL COACHING TREE

Miami (OH) is known as the Cradle of Coaches for producing successful football coaches. GVSU’s tradition has been building its own legacy and here are just some current big-name coaches with roots that extend back to Allendale.

When GVSU’s football coaches tell recruits they have a chance to receive some of best coaching in the country, they can point to former GVSU coaches to prove the claim. Grand Valley State claims to have great football history and tradition, and that extends beyond just players who make it to the NFL. There are currently a number of coaches experiencing success on a big stage after playing their role in building one of the best football programs in NCAA Division II. Brian Kelly directed the Lakers to national championships in 2002 and 2003, and now he’s in charge of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and has returned them to national prominence. Chuck Martin, who guided the Lakers to national championships in 2005 and 2006, enters year three at Miami (Ohio).

HARLON HILL AWARD

Quarterback Curt Anes Wins Harlon Hill Award

Grand Valley State University quarterback Curt Anes claimed the Harlon Hill Trophy as the Division II College Football Player of the year, with the second highest vote total in the award’s 17year history.

Anes received 271 total points in the voting and 63 first-place votes, the second highest in points as well as second highest total for first-place votes. Anes became the first-ever Harlon Hill Award winner from the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

The award winner is determined in voting by the Division II sports information directors and was presented in front of a crowd of almost 500 at the seventeenth annual Harlon Hill Trophy award banquet at the Florence Conference Center.

Anes, a senior from Kentwood, Michigan, was the runner-up for last year’s Hill Trophy, finishing just eight points behind 2001 winner Dusty Bonner. In 2002 he quarterbacked Grand Valley State to an undefeated regular-season and No. 1 ranking all season, while ranking third nationally in passing efficiency and third in total offense. He ranks third in Division II history for career touchdown passes (114) and first in total offense (11,881) and is fifth all-time in career pass efficiency. He threw for 3,692 yards and 47 TDs in 2002 and led the Lakers to a 14-0 record and to the Division II National Championship.

“Being a part of the Harlon Hill Trophy Award was an incredible experience,” said Anes. “It is such an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence as all of the previous winners,” added Anes.

Anes became one of five individuals to win the Harlon Hill Award on Friday night and then lead his team to the NCAA DII National Championship on Saturday.

“This is not an individual award. I was blessed with incredible team, coaches and support staff that all played a key role in helping achieve this honor,” stated Anes.

C.W. Post senior running back Ian Smart was second with 180 points and 31 first-place votes, and St. Cloud State junior quarterback Keith Heckendorf was third with 93 points and 7 firstplace votes.

GENE UPSHAW AWARD

Mike McFadden Wins 2005 & 2006 Gene Upshaw Award

SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Michael McFadden, a senior defensive end on Grand Valley State University’s national championship team, was selected as the repeat winner of the Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year Award, sponsored by the Manheim Touchdown Club.

The Upshaw Award winner is selected by the sports information directors of the 150 football-playing NCAA Division II institutions and is named in honor of the current Executive Director of the National Football League Players Association.

Gene Upshaw was a standout lineman at Texas A&I University (now Texas A&M-Kingsville) before achieving All-Pro status six times during his 16-year career with the NFL Oakland Raiders. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987, his first year of eligibility and has served as the NFLPA executive director since 1983.

“I congratulate Mike McFadden on being named the winner of the Division II Lineman of the Year Award for the second consecutive year,” Mr. Upshaw said. “It comes as no surprise that Mike continues to receive accolades for his play on the football field. He continues to dominate against opposing quarterbacks as evidenced by his 23 sacks in the last 30 games.”

Don Harris, president of the Manheim Touchdown Club, which sponsors the award, added: “When you look at all Mike McFadden has accomplished on the football field, it is only fitting that he should be the first two-time winner of this award. After hosting Mike and his family at our 2005 banquet last year, you could see that this young man processes a great deal of character to go along with his athletic ability.”

McFadden was the overwhelming choice in this year’s balloting; he was listed as one of the top three choices by 83 percent of the voters and was the No. 1 choice of 46 percent of the voters.

Jason Capizzi, a senior offensive tackle for Indiana University of Pa., and Robbie Klinetobe, a junior offensive guard for Chadron State University, tied for second place in this year’s voting.

The other finalists for the award included Newberry College offensive tackle Heath Benedict, North Carolina Central University center Robert Duncan, California University of Pa. center Tim McCutcheon, University of South Dakota center Chris Morton and Northwest Missouri State University defensive end Ryan Waters.

“It is truly an honor to be named the Gene Upshaw Award winner for a second time,” McFadden said. “I have so much respect for Mr. Upshaw and what the Gene Upshaw Award stands for and I am humbled with this honor when so many deserving candidates were nominated.”

Grand Valley State head coach Chuck Martin added, “Mike McFadden is everything the Gene Upshaw Awards stands for. Mike is an amazing football player, but more than that, Mike is even a better person, and we are excited to see Mike get his just due for his accomplishments both on and off the football field.”

McFadden, a 6-foot-1, 255-pound native of Saginaw, Mich. (Heritage High School), received Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year AwardSponsored by the Manheim Touchdown ClubMike McFadden double-team attention from opposing teams but still recorded 61 tackles this fall, including 29 solo takedowns, 13.5 tackles for loss (-54 yards) and seven quarterback sacks (-41 yards).

He also received the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Defensive Lineman of the Year honor for the second straight year, as well as a second successive first-team All-GLIAC citation. McFadden recorded at least one tackle for loss in 30 of the last 39 games and at least one QB sack in 23 of the last 30 games. He is the NCAA D-II all-time record holder for career QB sacks with 34.5 and ranks fourth all-time in career

tackles for loss with 55.5. Earlier this season, McFadden tied the NCAA all-division record for consecutive games with a QB sacks with 17.

What does not show up in McFadden’s statistics is the fact that, because of the attention paid to him by rivals, all three of his defensive line mates were able to record career highs in every category this fall.“I was fortunate to have the opportunity to play with so many quality football players at Grand Valley State and this is just as much of a team award as an idividual award. I was just 1/11th of our defense and that is how we approached every down defensively at Grand Valley State.”

As a unit, Grand Valley’s defensive unit led the nation in QB sacks per game (3.75) and ranked 13th in scoring defense (14.1) and 38th in rushing defense (105.1).

In addition to receiving the Upshaw Award in 2005, McFadden was named as a first-team All-American by the Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Don Hansen’s Football Gazette, D2Football.com and Daktronics, Inc. and was named as the Football Gazette’s Defensive Lineman of the Year.

McFadden earned honorable mention All-GLIAC honors as a sophomore and was a Freshman All-American in 2003. McFadden is also actively involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

McFadden was a dominent figure en route to earning the award as a junior. He concluded his junior campaign as the national co-leader in quarterback sacks with 19 and was third in the nation in tackles for loss with 21.5 (-110 yards). He recorded at least one quarterback sack and tackle for loss in each of Grand Valley State’s 13 games last fall, a run that resulted in the Lakers winning their third national title in the last four seasons.

Despite playing the entire game with a hip flexor injury, McFadden recorded one QB sack (-7 yards) in Grand Valley State’s national championship-game win over Northwest Missouri State. He recorded five tackles, four tackles for loss (-13 yards) and three QB sacks (-12 yards) in less than two quarters of action in the Lakers’ national semifinal win over East Stroudsburg (Pa.). McFadden, the only junior among the eight national finalists for this year’s Upshaw Award, is currently tied for the GVSU career record for QB sacks with 29. His 2005 total of 19 set a school singleseason record. He was the Lakers’ No. 2 tackler with 83.

Dave Rimington, the award's namesake, was a consensus first-team All-America center at the University of Nebraska in 1981 and 1982, during which time he became the John Outland Trophy's only double winner as the nation's finest college interior lineman.

Matt Judon Wins 2016 Gene Upshaw Award

Grand Valley State senior defensive end Matt Judon was the recipient of the 2016 Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year Award presented by the Manheim Touchdown Club.

The Upshaw Award is presented annually to the top NCAA Division II junior or senior offensive or defensive lineman in the nation. Sports information directors from the football-playing Division II institutions comprise the voters.

Judon led the nation, regardless of division, in sacks with 21, a total that established an NCAA DII single-season record. In addition, his 21 sacks in 2016 was the sixth-best single-season total in the history of college football. His 23.5 tackles for loss totaling 134 yards finished as the fourth most in Division II. Judon piled up 81 tackles, three passes defended, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and eight quarterback hurries.

Judon is the third Grand Valley State player to win the award and the first since 2007. Brandon Barnes won the award in 2007, and Mike McFadden was a back-to-back winner in 2005-06. No other football program since the award was started in 2004 has even two different winners.

The initial field of 47 nominees was narrowed to eight after a round of voting at the Super Region level. At the national level, Judon received a first-place vote on 42 percent of the ballots and was a top-three selection in 42 of 50 ballots submitted. His 339 points were 49 more than runner-up Morgan Fox of Colorado State-Pueblo. Slippery Rock's Cory Tucker finished in third place, followed by Joshua Gordon of Minnesota State Mankato, Joey Ray of LenoirRhyne, Collin Bevins of Northwest Missouri State, Andrew Cohen of West Chester and Dylan Donahue of West Georgia.

FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) -- Jed Perkerewiez scored on a 1-yard with 29 seconds to play as North Dakota outlasted Grand Valley State 17-14 on Saturday for its first NCAA Division II championship.

Grand Valley State (13-1) appeared poised to win its first national championship when quarterback Ryan Brady scored his second touchdown of the day on a 12-yard run with 2:46 to play.

North Dakota (14-1) then drove 80 yards in nine plays for the winning score. On fourth down with 38 seconds to play, Kelby Klosterman hit Luke Schleusner with a 58-yard pass to the 1. Perkerewiez scored on the next play.

Perkerewiez ran 26 times for 96 yards to lead a North Dakota team that did most of its damage on the ground on an overcast, damp day.

North Dakota took the lead with 12:55 to play on Klosterman's 9-yard run.

The Fighting Sioux quarterback ran for 61 yards and completed 8 of 27 passes for 139 yards.

For Grand Valley State, Brady and Todd Wojciechowski split quarterbacking duties, with Brady rushing for 89 yards. Wojciechowski was the Lakers' passing quarterback, completing 11 of 22 attempts for 128 yards.

Brady, a receiver for much of the season, and Wojciechowski were filling in for injured Curt Anes, a finalist for Harlon Hill Trophy who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Lakers' first playoff game.

Grand Valley State led 7-3 at halftime after a sloppy first half that featured three missed field goals by North Dakota and two turnovers by the Lakers.

The Fighting Sioux took the opening kickoff and drove 56 yards in 10 plays to set up a 36-yard field goal by Cameron Peterka. The North Dakota kicker missed field-goal attempts from 47, 38 and 36 yards later in the half.

The Lakers drove 70 yards in 10 plays late in the first quarter with Brady scoring on a two-yard-run. The drive featured both Grand Valley State quarterbacks, with Wojciechowski completing passes of 19 and 20 yards to David Kircus, and Brady setting up the score with an 18-yard run to the 5.

North Dakota's Mike O'Neil intercepted two of Wojciechowski's passes in the first half, including one at the goal line when the Lakers were threatening midway through the second quarter.

Allendale, Mich. - Grand Valley State will make its second straight trip to Florence, Alabama for the NCAA DII National Championship game after rolling past Northern Colorado 44-7 in Saturday's semifinal matchup at Lubbers Stadium. The Lakers jumped out to a 24-0 halftime lead and never looked back as GVSU recorded its 22nd straight home victory. Senior Harlon Hill candidate Curt Anes hooked up with AllAmerican WR David Kircus on four of the Laker touchdowns, while Reggie Spearmon added the other two scores. GVSU, which has been ranked #1 all season, will play #2 Valdosta State in next week's National Championship on Saturday, December 14th, at 4:00 pm EST. GVSU took the opening kickoff 65 yards in 11 plays, culiminated by Spearmon's 3-yard TD run. The Lakers drove 89 yards in 13 plays as Kircus and Anes hooked up for the first of their four pass-catch TDs. The first covered 16 yards. Kircus and Anes hooked up again, this time from 24 yards out at the 8:18 mark of the second quarter to put GVSU up 21-0. Anes scrambled around for near 10 seconds before finding Kircus. PK David Hendrix drilled a 24-yard field goal with 2:26 left in the second quarter to give GVSU a 24-0 lead. Northern Colorado drove down to the Laker five yard line with under a minute left in the opeing half, but three straight Laker QB sacks forced the Bears into a field goal which Keyonta Marshall blocked.

Northern Colorado got on the board with their first possession of the second half with a 4-play, 65-yard drive. QB Mark Passard connected with Jared Jackson on a 22-yard TD. However, the Lakes answered with an impressive 5-play, 67-yard TD drive with Spearmon going the final 13 yards for the TD. Anes and Kircus hooked up with 2:58 left in the third quarter on a 21-yard TD and again in the fourth quarter, this from 5-yards out.

The Grand Valley State defense recorded nine QB sacks and limited UNC to just five yards rushing on 25 carries. Eight Lakers combined for the nine QB sacks, while GVSU also picked off three passes. Scott Mackey, Joe Ballard and Marvis Bryant each recorded a pick. Orlando Williams led the defense with nine tackles and three QB sacks, while Scott Mackey and Dan Vaughn each recorded seven. Vaughn also notched a career-high four QB sacks.

Anes completed 20-28 passes for 243 yards and four TDs, while running for 22 yards on four carries. Spearmon rushed 32 times for 143 yards and two TDs, while Terrance Banks tied the GVSU single-game record with 11 receptions for 116 yards.

Notes... Grand Valley State has now won 22 straight games at Lubbers Stadium...WR David Kircus caught four TD passes (32), breaking college football all-division mark of 28 he set last year.

Grand Valley Claims Division II National Championship

Florence, Ala. - Harlon Hill Award winner Curt Anes hit All-American wide receiver David Kircus with a 10-yard scoring pass with 1:04 left in the game to lift Grand Valley State to a 31-24 victory and the 2002 NCAA Division II Football National Championship. The National Championship is the school's first-ever in a varsity sport.

Valdosta State opened the scoring with a field goal by Will Rhody at the 6:23 mark of the first quarter. The field goal capped an 8-play, 89-yard drive and put the Lakers behind for just the second time in 2002. The VSU lead didn't last long as GVSU went 58 yards in just two plays. Anes hit Kircus with a 49-yard pass play, and Reggie Spearmon carried the ball in from 9-yards out to put the Lakers up 7-3. The Blazers were forced to punt on its ensuing drive and the Lakers struck quickly again. Anes hit Kircus again, this time with a 54-yards out and David Hendrix added the PAT to put the Lakers up 14-3. GVSU drove 23 yards in five plays and Hendrix hit a 38-yard field goal to put GVSU up 17-3. VSU added a field goal late in the second quarter to pull the Blazers within 11 (17-6) at the half.

The Lakers forced a three and out to open the second half and the GVSU took advantage as Anes hit Kircus with a 67-yard scoring pass. Hendrix added the PAT and GVSU led 24-6. VSU scored it first TD of the game midway through the third quarter as Aaron Jenkins rambled in from seven yards out to cap a 14-play, 56-yard drive.

GVSU missed a pair of scoring opportunities and the Blazers capitalized to close the margin. Rhody kicked a 43-yard field goal, followed by a mishandled snap by Laker QB Curt Anes that VSU's Tim Thompson recovered for TD. Buster Faulkner hit C.J. Lofton with the two-point conversion to tie the game at 24-24 with 3:09 left.

Terrence Banks put the Lakers in good field position with a 30-yard kickoff return.

Anes and Kircus then went to work. Anes hit Kircus with an 8-yard completion, then a 33-yard stop-n-go. Facing a third and nine from the VSU 26 yard line, Anes hit Kircus with a 10-yard completion. Spearmon ran six yards to the Blazer 10 to set up the winning score. Anes checked from a run play to pass play and hit Kircus with the National Championship winning score.

Anes completed 23-of-36 passes for 361 yards and three TDs. Kircus caught a championship game record 11 passes for record 270 yards and three TDs. Terrence Banks caught nine passes for 66 yards, while Brent Lesniak rushed eight times for 56 yards.

Spearmon rushed 14 times for 29 yards. DB Melvin Estes and DL Keyonta Marshal led the defense with a combined 24 tackles and 12 tackles for loss (37 yards). Estes notched 12 tackles, six tackles for loss (-21) and 2.5 QB sacks, while Marshall chipped in 12 stops, six tackles for loss and one QB sack. LB Orlando Williams notched eight tackles, two tackles for loss and one QB sack. CB Darren Smith snagged a pair of interception and notched two pass deflections.

GVSU completed the 2002 season with a perfect 14-0 record, including wins in 33of-its-last-34 games.

Florence, Ala. - A determined North Dakota football team could not break the will of the Grand Valley State University defense this time.

The Lakers held off a potential game-winning drive late, intercepting a pass near the goal line to preserve a 10-3 win in the NCAA Division II Championship Game Saturday.

The effort in front of a Braly Municipal Stadium crowd of 7,236 allowed GVSU to become the sixth Division II team to win back-to-back national titles since the first championship game in 1973.

Grand Valley (14-1) would be celebrating three titles in a row if North Dakota hadn't rallied in 2001 to beat the Lakers 17-14 with a fourth-quarter drive.

“That was deja vu that North Dakota moved the ball down field," GVSU coach Brian Kelly said, referring to the game's dramatic finish. "Our defense has just answered

the bell the past three weeks. They have not let up a touchdown now in 12 consecutive quarters of playoff competition. That's a lot to be said in terms of how we got back here.

"We got back here on the backs of our defense."

The defense sought redemption for a dejecting end to the 2001 contest against North Dakota.

The Fighting Sioux edged Grand Valley two years ago when they scored on a 1yard touchdown run with 29 seconds left.

A 58-yard reception for a tight end off a missed tackle set up the decisive score.

This year, North Dakota were thinking of a similar end when GVSU's David Hendrix missed a 43-yard field goal with 3 minutes, 54 seconds remaining.

The Fighting Sioux (12-2) moved up the field and put themselves in a 1st-and-10 at the Grand Valley 17-yard line. They downed the ball to stop the clock. The Lakers then forced two incomplete passes, including a third-down one that fell incomplete in the end zone.

North Dakota quarterback John Bowenkamp looked to keep the drive alive on fourth quarter, but GVSU linebacker Mike Hoad stepped in front of the pass at the 5yard line. The Lakers squashed the comeback bid.

"We thought the defense had to step up a lot this year," said Hoad, a senior. "We had our backs up against the wall at the end. I think (the resilience) was typical of our seniors and our character."

Hoad and his teammates would have been tested further had the Fighting Sioux got into the end zone. North Dakota, which missed two field goals during the game, would have gone for the go-ahead two-point conversion had they scored, according to Fighting Sioux coach Dale Lennon.

Instead, North Dakota was dealing with a tough loss.

"They beat us at our game," Lennon said.

The low-scoring contest featured only a 19-yard David Hendrix field goal midway through the first quarter.

The Lakers too the opening drive 79 yards in 17 plays before reaching the 1-yard line and settling for a field goal. The drive was Grand Valley's second-longest of the season.

Neither team scored in the half. The 3-0 score was the lowest at halftime of NCAA Division II Championship Game history since 1989 when Mississippi College and Jacksonville State were scoreless.

North Dakota, which had not been shutout in a half this season, threatened right away in the third quarter, though The Fighting Sioux took the opening drive of the second half and marched 63 yards to the GVSU 7-yard line. On third-and-four, quarterback John Bowenkamp dropped back to pass then scrambled to his right.

A charging Grand Valley linebacker, Lucius Hawkins, hit Bowenkamp after he pump-faked and forced a fumble. Hawkins scooped up the football and raced 59 yards to the North Dakota 20-yard line.

Four plays later, running back Michael Tennessee barrelled into the end zone from 1 yard out. Tennessee's 16th touchdown of the season and a Hendrix extra point put the Lakers ahead 10-0 with 9:15 remaining in the third quarter.

The Fighting Sioux bounced back on their next series and set themselves up for a 43-yard field goal.

Kicker Jeff Glas, however, slipped on his approach and Grand Valley defensive lineman Keyonta Marshall easily deflected the kick.

Glas also pulled a 46-yard field goal in the first quarter. It was the fourth time this season Glas had missed at least two field goals in a game. Glas finally connected on a 35-yard field goal 9:47 into the fourth quarter.

It wasn't enough.

Grand Valley joined the 1999 Northern Colorado team as the only ones to win a national championship while never playing at a home.

The Lakers won four road games in the playoffs and six in a row including the regular season.

"It means a lot (to earn a national title by winning four consecutive games on the road.)," Kelly said. "They did it in tough circumstances. Maybe they can get credit for being one of those all-time great teams."

Allendale, Mich. - #1 Ranked Grand Valley State scored 34 first-quarter points and cruised to a 55-20 NCAA DII National Semifinal victory at Lubbers Stadium in Allendale Saturday afternoon. Grand Valley State will now appear in its fourth NCAA DII National Championship game in the last five years. GVSU lost the 2001 title game, but won back-to-back DII National Championships in 2002 and 2003.

"I'm so proud of how this team has competed and played together as a team for 15 weeks," said second-year head coach Chuck Martin. "This group is so close on both sides of the ball and they compete with one another to make each other better," added Martin.

Grand Valley State took the opening kickoff and drove 87 yards in seven plays for a a TD. Brandon Langston finished the drive with an 18 yard TD run at the 11:39 mark of the first quarter. Langston continued his stellar play when he blocked a punt on East Stroudsburg's second straight three and out. QB Cullen Finnerty found Langston all alone over the middle in endzone for a 22-yard TD and a 14-0 Laker lead. That was the first of four consecutive touchdowns for the Lakers. RB Astin Martin scored from one yard out to put the finishing touches on a 4-play, 64-yard drive and Brandon Carr returned a fumble 40 yards for a TD to give GVSU a 27-0 lead. Grand Valley State put the finishing touches on an incredible first quarter when Finnerty hit Langston on a fly pattern that covered 81 yards on the final play of the first quarter for a score. The Lakers' 34 first quarter points set a GVSU playoff record for points in a quarter, breaking the previous mark of 31 (2nd Q) set in 2002 versus Indiana (Pa.). RB Ryan Hukill put GVSU up 41-0 with 8:20 left in the second quarter when he finished

a 9-play, 79-yard drive with a 5-yard shovel pass for a TD. East Stroudsburg's only points in the first half came following a Finnerty interception that was returned to the Laker 20. Jim Terwilliger ran it in from two yards out for the Warriors first score. GVSU's 41 first half points were the second most in a half for a playoff game behind the 51 put up against Indiana (Pa.) in 2002.

GVSU sacked Terwilliger seven times in the opening 30 minutes and limited the Warriors to just 150 yards of total offense. ESU was held to -1 yard rushing on 17 carries and Terwilliger completed just 10-of-27 passes for 151 yards.

GVSU dominated the game offensively, racking up 409 yards of total offense.

Finnerty completed 10-of-14 passes for 241 yards and three TDs, while Astin Martin rushed for 73 yards and one TD on 14 carries. Langston caught four passes for 148 yards and two TDs, while rushing for 18 yards and one TD. Martin opened the second half with a 44 yard TD run to put the Lakers up 48-7. Martin's TD run capped a 5-play, 82-yard scoring drive. ESU added third and fourth quarter TDs, but GVSU's Brandon Carr returned an onside kick 47 yards for the final score of the day. GVSU ran the ball 26 times in the second half and attempted just one pass.

GVSU rolled up 562 yards of total offense on the day, including 320 rushing and 242 passing. The Laker starting offensive unit finished its day midway through the third quarter. Martin broke the 100-yard rushing mark for the ninth time this season with 134 yards and two TDs on 18 carries. Ryan Hukill rushed for 90 yards on nine carries, while Mark Catlin chipped in 51 yards on nine carries. Finnerty completed 10-fo-14 passes for 241 yards and three TDs, while rushing for 39 yards on four carries.

Florence, Ala. - Celebrating a national championship is starting to become routine for Grand Valley State football fans. More than 200 fans greeted the Lakers at the Grand Valley Fieldhouse Sunday, a day after the team won the school’s third NCAA Division II national championship in four years.

field. They made it to the 17 but Lamberson was chased out of bounds by Rory Steinbach and Justin Ulberg for a loss on third down with just one second remaining. Northwest Missouri used its last timeout to set up the final play. Robinson was wide open briefly, but the defense swarmed after the ball and kept him out of the end zone. “I was very confident,” Lamberson said Saturday night. “That’s been the motto of our team - our backs against the wall. And they’ve been against the wall all year. So when we got in that huddle, it was like last week. We were very confident that we were going to move the ball down the field and score.”

Grand Valley, ranked No. 1 in national Division II polls, ended its season 13-0. “It’s been a great season,” said Joe Ballard of Chesaning, who helped make the game-ending tackle. “I’ll miss everyone here. I hope they go get it again next year.”

Senior wide receiver Brandon Langston of Northville caught a 35-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Cullen Finnerty of Brighton with 4:25 left for the winning score. Finnerty moved Grand Valley 82 yards after taking over midway through the fourth quarter. He converted three thirddown plays on the drive. On third-and-four, he hit Langston on a slant pattern, and the receiver raced 35 yards for a score with 4:25 to play. “They gave me an inch of space and I got great blocks from Antoine Trent and Jeremy Cochrane,” Langston said. “I had the easy part, I just had to catch it and run down the field.”

Ballard said he had one thing on his mind on the game’s last play. “I just wanted to keep him (Robinson) out of the end zone,” the Lakers safety said.

“That was the biggest thing. We wanted to make sure we made the tackle.”

Martin, the defensive coordinator of the first two championship teams, said each national title celebration has been enjoyable. “The journey is too far and still a lot of fun,” he said. It’s never old hat. If we go there again in the future, that moment would be just as special.”

Northwest Missouri (11-4) was the first team to win four straight road playoff games, but lost for the first time in three championship game appearances. The Bearcats made the championship game with Raphael Robinson’s only touchdown catch of the season, a three-yarder with 23 seconds left to beat North Alabama the previous week, also at Braly Municipal Stadium.

Coach Mel Tjeerdsma practically assumed Robinson would score and his team would pull out another improbable win. “I felt like we were going to win the game until he didn’t get in the end zone,” Tjeerdsma said. “I didn’t have any doubts.”

After flying into Grand Rapids, coach Chuck Martin and his team were on campus for the first time since their 21-17 victory over Northwest Missouri State on Saturday in Florence, Ala. “We want to thank all our great fans and friends,” Martin said. “We have the best fans in Division II by far.”

The Lakers, who also won the national title in 2002 and 2003, were runners-up in 2001. Martin pointed out that all four games came down “to the last tick of the clock.”

On the last play of Saturday’s game, from the Lakers’ 22-yard line, Northwest Missouri quarterback Josh Lamberson rolled right and hit Raphael Robinson inside the 5 on the opposite side of the field. Robinson spun, but the Lakers brought him down four yards short to end the 81-yard drive and clinch the national championship.

“We wanted to make sure it wasn’t a boring game for you,” Martin joked to Lakers fans. “I told the team that we wanted to make sure that another game came down to the end. Obviously, we found a way to make that last play.”

Lamberson completed five consecutive passes to move the Bearcats down-

Allendale, Mich. - Sweet Home Alabama. Grand Valley State will be making its fifth NCAA DII National Championship game appearance in the last six years after claiming an impressive 49-30 victory over Delta State Sunday night at Lubbers Stadium in Allendale. GVSU (14-0) will play Northwest Missouri State (14-0) in the National Championship game Saturday (Dec. 16) in Florence, Alabama. The game is a rematch of the 2005 final in which GVSU claimed a 21-17 victory in the title game.

The Laker offense started quickly following a Delta State punt down to the GVSU 11 yard line. RB Astin Martin carried the ball for 19 yards on the first play, followed by a 40-yard completion from Cullen Finnerty to WR Eric Fowler.

Finnerty then found WR Terry Mitchell quarantined in the corner of the endzone for a 30-yard TD reception. The drive covered 89 yards in three plays and took just 45 ticks off the clock. Delta State drove 63 yards in nine plays late in the first quarter, but failed to score when Sid Halliday's 35-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left. The Lakers wasted little time while looking for another score. Finnerty hit Fowler with a 53-yard pass and catch on the first play, then found Mitchell again, this time all alone in the left corner of the endzone on the very next play for a 27yard TD reception. The drive took 35 seconds and covered 80 yards in two plays.

Delta State regrouped and took advantage of a GVSU fumble for its first points of the game. Finnerty was sacked and fumbled the ball on his own 8-yard line. Delta State QB Scott Eyster hit WR Eric Marshall on the second play for a 7yard TD reception. Delta State's special teams then took advantage of another Laker miscue. The Statesmen blocked a Laker punt and Chad Schroeder recovered it the endzone for another Statesmen score to tie the game at 14-14.

Mark Catlin sparked the Lakers, returning the kickoff 44 yards to the 49. Astin Martin toted the ball for 16 yards on the first play and Finnerty found Fowler again, this one covering 21 yards. Preston Garris carried the ball for a 4-yard run before Finnerty hit Antione Trent with a 10-yard TD pass.

The Laker defense made a key play on DSU's next possession as LB Kirk Carruth picked off a Scott Eyster pass at Delta State 48. Following a Laker penalty and 22-yard rush by Finnerty, GVSU faced a 4th-and-1 on the Delta State 39. Chuck Martin rolled the dice and went for it on fourth down. Finnerty looked for Fowler down the right sideline, but a DSU defender had it hit off his pads into the hands of Fowler for a 35-yard completion. Finnerty found Trent over the middle and GVSU led 28-14 at the half.

Leading 28-14, the Laker offense made a statment with its opening drive of the second half. Finnerty guided GVSU on a 7-play, 67-yard scoring drive that took 3:11 off the clock. Finnerty hit freshman receiver Blake Smolen with a short pass that Smolen took the final 8 yards for a score and a 35-14 Laker lead.

GVSU's special teams had its second punt blocked, this one went out of the endzone for a safety and Delta State trailed 35-16. However, the quick strike Laker offense struck again, this drive covering 59-yards in three plays. Finnerty completed passes of 29 yards to Mitchell and 22 yards to Fowler for a TD and a 42-16 GVSU lead.

Delta State's Scott Eyster hit WR Eric Marshall with a 65-yard TD pass on its next possession, but Finnerty once again drove the Lakers to paydirt. RB Astin Martin finished the 5-play, 56-yard scoring drive with a 3-yard TD run. Eyster finished the Statesmen scoring when he capped off a 13-play, 80-yard drive with a 7-yard TD pass to Robert Davis.

Finnerty led the offense, completing 16-of-30 passes for 365 yards and six TDs. The six TDs equelled his career-high he set in the regular season finale at Northern Michigan. WR Eric Fowler hauled in seven receptions for a career-high 218 yards and one TD, while Terry Mitchell caught four passes for 97 yards and two TDs. Antion Trent cuaght three passes for 20 yards and two TDs, while Blacke Smolen hauled in two passes for 30 yards and a TD. RB Astin Martin rushed for 99 yards and a TD on 16 carries.

Dan Skuta led the Laker defense with 11 tackles and a TFL (-2). Buster Larkins, Anthony Adams and Brandon Carr each chipped in six tackles. GVSU recorded nine tackles for loss (-37) and four QB sacks (-24).

Scott Eyster completed 31-of-48 passes for 324 yards and three TDs. Eyster passed for 155 yards in the first three quarters, and 169 yards in the fourth when the outcome of the game had already been decided. WR Robert Davis caught 10 passes for 126 yards, while Eric Marshall hauled in five passes for 100 yards. GVSU held Delta State to just 34 rushing yards.

Florence, AL. - Grand Valley State claimed its fourth NCAA DII National Championship in the last five years Saturday afternoon at Braly Municipal Stadium with its 17-14 victory over Northwest Missouri State in the title game. GVSU finished the year 15-0, becoming just the second team in NCAA DII history to go 15-0 in a season. Cullen Finnerty's 4-yard TD run with 13:06 left in the game proved to be the game-winner and he engineered a 7-play, 19-yard drive that ran out the clock for the victory in the fourth quarter. Finnerty carried the ball three times for 12 yards and completed two passes for nine yards on the closing drive. Finnerty completed a 4-yard pass to Eric Fowler on thirdand-two to seal the win.

Finnerty's game-winning drive started after the Laker defense forced a three-and-out deep in NW Missouri State territory. The Bearcats were pinned deep in their own territory after Bill Brechin downed a Justin Trumble punt at the NWMST 2-yard line. Kyle Johnson's punt went out of bounds at the NWMST 36-yard line to give the Lakers good field position and set up the game winning drive. Astin Martin started the drive with a 5-yard carry and Finnerty then completed a 17-yard pass to Antion Trent. Finnerty carried the ball 4-yards to the Bearcat 10 and Martin then toted the ball to the three before Finnerty capped the drive with his TD run.

"These guys just kept playing for 60 minutes and found a way to win another game," said GVSU head coach Chuck Martin.

The Laker defense came up big late in the game when Matt Beaty forced a fumble that Bill Brechin recovered at the Laker 21 with 3:15 left in the game. GVSU picked up two first downs and ran out the clock.

Junior corner Bill Brechin kept the Lakers in the game in the first quarter. He picked off a pass in the endzone on NW Missouri's first possession, then picked off another pass at the Laker seven to foil another drive.

"Bill Brechin made four game changing plays in the game and those two first quarter interceptions kept us in the game," said GVSU head coach Chuck Martin.

Grand Valley State got on the board first early in the second quarter.

Todd Carter hit a 30-yard field goal after Finnerty drove the Lakers 67yards in 11 plays. The Bearcats answered quickly, driving 80-yards in 8-plays. Kendall Wright hit Rafael Robinson with a 26-yard halfback pass to give NW Missouri its first lead.

The lead was shortlived as Finnerty drove GVSU 70-yards in 11plays for a score. Finnerty found Fowler all alone in the left corner of the endzone for a 2-yard TD pass. Finnerty rushed for 33 yards on the drive and completed three passes for 37 yards. Todd Carter added the PAT for a 10-7 Laker lead.

NW Missouri State appeared to be going in for a score late in the first half, but junior corner Brandon Carr picked off the Lakers' third pass of the first half when he stepped in front of a Josh Mathews pass at the goal line with 2:11 left in the second quarter.

GVSU gave the Bearcats the ball deep in its own end following a low snap that Justin Trumble went down to field and put his knee down.

NWMST needed five plays to go 25 yards for the score and a 14-10 lead.

Cullen Finnerty completed 15-of-33 passes for 225 yards and rushed for 115 yards on 22 carries for 340 yards of total offense. Finnerty passed for one TD and ran for another. Finnerty became the first QB in NCAA DII Championship game history to pass for over 200 yards (225 passing) and rush for over 100 (115). Astin Martin rushed for 40 yards on 12 carries. Eric Fowler caught seven passes for 96 yards, despite missing almost all of the second half with a hamstring injury. Terry Mitchell caught two passes for 55 yards. John Mathews added two receptions for 24 yards, Sean Stevens one for 19 yards and Preston Garris one for 17 yards.

Matt Beaty led the defense with a season-high 12 tackles, while senior Mike McFadden chipped in seven stops. Dan Skuta added seven stops and Samad Cain six.

186 • @GVSUFOOT-

Florence, Ala. - Northwest Missouri State jumped out to a 21-0 first half lead and held on for a 30-23 victory over Grand Valley State in the 2009 NCAA DII National Championship game Saturday afternoon in Florence, Ala. The title game appearance was the Lakers' sixth since 2001. GVSU finished the season with a 13-2 record and the Lakers' senior class finished their careers with a 51-4 record. The 2009 senior class is the sixth straight to finish with 50 or more wins during their careers.

Northwest Missouri State started fast with touchdowns on their first three drives of the game. LaRon Council finished the Bearcats opening drive with a 14 yard TD run to cap a 6-play, 76-yard drive that took just 1:53 off the clock. GVSU then drove into Bearcat territory on its second drive of the game and faced a fourth-and-three from the NMSU 35-yard line. However, head coach Chuck Martin elected to punt and senior Justin Trumble pinned NW Missouri State on its own three-yard line.

"I didn't even really consider going for it and I felt pretty good after Justin (Trumble) pinned them on their own three yard line," said sixth-year head coach Chuck Martin.

Northwest Missouri State drove 97 yards in 16 plays as QB Blake Bolles finished the drive with a four yard TD run. Following a three-and-out by the Lakers, NMSU Jordan Simmons took a Justin Trumble punt back 48 yards to the Grand Valley State 17 yard line. Council followed with a 17 yard TD run to up the Northwest Missouri State lead to 21-0.

NW Missouri State was driving again late in the first half and had the ball on the GVSU one yard line, but senior LB James Wojciechowski forced and recovered a Previn Perry fumble to thwart the scoring opportunity.

"We regrouped at the half and told the guys that we needed to get a stop to open the second half and then get going offensively," said Martin.

Grand Valley State senior LB Gary Anderson provided the spark to open the second half when he picked off a Blake Bolles pass on the Bearcats fouth play of the third quarter. Iciek then drove the Lakers 48 yards in four plays and hit sophomore tight end Andrew Lorman with an eight yard TD pass with 11:22 left in the third quarter to get the Lakers on the scoreboard. Iciek hit junior WR Ryan Bass with a 16 yard completion and P.T. Gates rushed for 11 yards followed by a NMSU personal foul before the TD pass to Lorman. The excitement was short lived as Jay Jandasek's PAT was blocked and returned for a defensive safety for the Bearcats by Ryan Jones.

Jones taunted the Laker defenders for the final 30 yards and ran the final seven yards backwards, but no penalty was called.

The Lakers and Bearcats traded punts, including an NCAA DII Championship record 71 yard punt by GVSU's Jay Jandasek, who was replacing the injured Trumble.

The GVSU defense continued to hold the Bearcat offense and forced a punt deep in their own territory. The Michael Stadler punt was downed at the 50 yard line to set the Laker offense up with outstanding field position. WR Blake Smolen ran 11 yards on a reverse and Iciek then hit WR Ryan Bass with a 33 yard TD pass and Jandasek added the PAT to cut the Northwest Missouri State lead to 10 (23-13). Grand Valley State's defense forced another turnover when CB Chris Crawford, playing for the injured Enrique Shaw, forced a fumble on the GVSU 29 yard line. Iciek directed an 11-play, 71-yard scoring drive that finished with a two yard TD run by Smolen.

Jandasek added the PAT and the Lakers clawed back to within three points (23-20) with 12:26 left in the game.

"I looked up at the scoreboard and was trying to figure out how we only trailed by three (23-20) with 12 minutes left in the game," said Martin.

The Lakers were flagged with a personal foul on the ensuing kickoff and the Bearcats took over on GVSU 32 yard line. Bolles completed an 18 yard pass to Council on a third and 22 play, then hit Jake Soy with a 26 yard TD pass on a fourth and five play to up the lead to 10 points (30-20) with 10:00 left in the game.

"I new they would go for it and we put our best defender (Jake McGuckin) on their best receiver (Jake Soy), but Bolles just threw a perfect pass for the TD," said Martin.

GVSU continued to battle and drove 70 yards in 12 plays for a 21 yard field goal

by Jandasek. The big play on the drive came when Iciek hit freshman Israel Woolfork with a 35-yard pass and catch to the Bearcat 12 yard line on third and 10.

Trailing 30-23, GVSU opted for an onside kick and thought they had recovered the ball, but an illegal touching call negated the recovery and NMSU took over on the GVSU 39 yard line. The GVSU defense held and forced a Bearcat punt that went into the end zone to give the Lakers one last drive starting from their own 20 yard line with 2:59 remaining. Grand Valley State drove 24 yards in nine plays, but Iciek's fourth down pass was incomplete with :52 seconds left to seal the win for Northwest Missouri State.

Iciek completed a career-high 28 passes for 290 yards and two TDs for the Lakers.

Bass caught eight passes for 111 yards and a TD, while Smolen rushed for 45 yards on seven carries and hauled in six passes for 70 yards. Smolen tallied 189 all-purpose yards for the game. Lorman caught four passes for 23 yards and a TD, while Woolfork caught two passes for 48 yards. Senior RB P.T. Gates rushed for 36 yards and caught seven passes for 32 yards. Junior LB Justin Victor led the laker defense with 10 tackles, while senior safety Jake McGuckin, junior safety Matt Bakker and senior LB Gary Anderson each contributed nine stops. Junior DE Nick Lawrence tallied four tackles, two QB sacks and three tackles for loss. Grand Valley State finished with 381 yards of total offense for the game, including 254 in the second half, while the Bearcats tallied 116 total yards in the second half after recording 250 yards in the first half.

"I can't even begin to say how proud I am of this team and all that it accomplished during the 2009 season," said Martin. "This group of seniors did everything they could to get us to the National Championship game and in the end gave us a chance to win a fifth title. This group came together and improved every week and did everything we asked of them. For that reason I will always remember the 2009 Laker football team," concluded Martin.
