MATT MITCHELL
HEAD COACH 13TH SEASON AT GVSU (7TH AS HC) Matt Mitchell is set for his seventh year as the head coach of the Grand Valley State University football program. Mitchell is 57-19 as the head coach of the Lakers with three NCAA DII Playoff appearances, two NCAA DII National Semifinal appearances, a GLIAC Championship and two GLIAC North Division titles. In addition, Mitchell is 7-3 in NCAA DII Playoff action as a head coach. In 12 years as a part of the Laker football program (six as head coach and six as an assistant) Mitchell has coached in two NCAA DII Chaampionship games, five NCAA semifinal contests and nine NCAA quarterfinal games. GVSU regrouped from a pair of regular season defeats to top five teams in a run to the 2015 NCAA DII National Semifinals. The Lakers finished 12-3 overall and avenged those two regular season setbacks with road victories over the same teams in the NCAA playoffs. GVSU claimed a 45-28 win at #3 Ashland in an opening round playoff game, followed by a 38-34 victory at #2 Ferris State in second-round action. The Lakers then claimed a 31-7 win at #4 and defending National Champion Colorado State-Pueblo in the regional final before dropping a tough 34-32 decision at #5 Shepherd in the semifinals. The Laker offense, which averaged 38.4 points, 457.5 total yards and 285.5 passing yards per game, ranked among the national leaders in virtually every category. Senior RB Kirk Spencer rushed for 1,185 yards and 13 TDs, while junior WR Matt Williams hauled in 72 passes for 1,357 yards and 17 TDs en route to earning all-america plaudits. Redshirt freshman QB Bart Williams passed for GVSU single-season record 4,206 yards and 45 TDs, while Jim Walsh and Brandon Revenberg anchored the offensive line. Gene Upshaw Award winner and consensus all-american, Matt Judon, led the defense with a national leading 21 QB sacks and 23.5 TFL. Junior linebacker Marquez Gollman earned all-america honors with 117 tackles and three picks, while fellow junior LB David Talley recorded a team-high 128 tackles. The 2014 Lakers finished 6-5 and faced the nations toughest regular season schedule as its opponents tallied a .627 winning percentage (69-41).

PREVIEW The 2016 Grand Valley State football has one thing on its mind. EMBRACE THE PROCESS. Seventh-year head football coach wants the 2015 NCAA Division II semifinal loss to Shepherd to be a point of reference as a missed opportunity, but the final game of the 2015 campaign will have no effect on the 2016 season. It is a new season with new players, but the process that is Grand Valley State football will remain the same. Get better everyday and be a great teammate. Both can be accomplished and will make the sum of the group better.
“We stayed the course and embraced the process of becoming a great football team in 2015,” said Michell. “We had our ups and downs and faced adversity, but we never wavered from what we wanted to do as a team. We took advantage of our opportunity in the playoffs when we had return matchups with Ashland and Ferris State and we knew that we were going to be the better team the second time around.”
The 2016 GVSU football team will have some new faces in new places, but a significant amount of the core returns and is ready for a big year.
“I really like the leadership and accountability that this team has amongst one another. We have that inner core that has played a lot meaningful football games at Grand Valley State and they know what it takes both on and off the field,” added Mitchell.

The Lakers return sophomore Bart Williams who turned in one of the top all-time, single-seasons by a redshirt freshman. Williams completed 273-of-480 passes for 4,206 yards and 45 touchdowns. He averaged 280.4 yards per game and tallied a pass efficiency rating of 153.1. Bart broke the 300-yard passing mark a GVSU singleseason record eight times and tossed four or more TD passes in a game six times. Williams’ three playoff wins and 12 total wins in a season ranks second behind former Laker great and three-time National Champion Cullen Finnerty. Junior Ollie Ajami found his niche and rushed for 210 yards and two TDs on 18 carries (11.7 ypr.). Redshirt freshmen Matt Crable and Cole Kotopka gained valuable experience in the spring and will battle in the fall for playing time.
Mitchell on the quarterbacks “Obviously Bart just continued to mature as a quarterback throughout the 2015 season. His grasp of the offense became more evident every week and his leadership as a reliable playmaker continued to evolve throughout the season. We do need him to value possession of the ball in 2016, but at the same time we do not want to take away his aggressive nature. Ollie really did a nice job giving our opponents a new look and we really like Crable and Kotopka.”

Carter also rushed for 99 yards and two TDs on 14 carries at Ashland in an NCAA Division II First-Round matchup at Ashland. Senior Terrell Dorsey is healthy to open a season for the first time in his career and brings a different style to the mix, while sophomore Christian Lumpkin has a defined role in the offense. Redshirt freshmen Caleb Richard and Bryce Young-Walls were solid in the spring and give the Lakers depth.
Mitchell on the running backs “We have dynamic playmakers who all bring a different style to our offense. We preach versatility and we really like to have packages for players so they have a defined role. Marty (Carter) gives us a power back that can go the distance, while Dorsey is a bulldozer that is adept at making people miss at the line of scrimmage. We are just beginning to figure out what Christian (Lumpkin) can do, but we will find ways to get him the ball.”

PREVIEW returning all-american that hauled in 72 catches for 1,357 yards and 17 touchdowns. In addition, Williams returned 22 punts for 297 yards (13.5 ypr.) and one touchdown. Junior Brandon Bean caught 33 passes for 628 yards and six TDs in eight games, while sophomore Nick Dodson caught 32 passes for 479 yards and five TDs as a true freshman. Junior Urston Smith came on in the second half of the year and hauled in 21 receptions for 344 yards and three TDs. Senior Joe Robbins returns and junior transfer Jon-Mark Anderson was a productive player at Illinois State. Sophomore Jalen Bryant looked solid in the spring and redshirt freshmen Omari Mitchell, Austin Paritee, Marquon Sargent and De’Aundre Simpkins will provide quality depth. Nick Keizer, Pete Cender and Brian Moran make the tight end position worthy of being productive in the passing game, while also making a difference in the running game.
Mitchell on the Wide Receivers “We have a lot of options among our receiving unit. We really like to platoon our receivers and the depth that we have will allow us to do that and keep them fresh for the entire game and as the season moves along. It is a competitive group of players that want to get on the field and make an impact.”

With just one senior offensive lineman on the roster (Aaron Cox), the Laker front line will have to come together to form a cohesive unit. Cox turned in a stellar junior campaign and will be expected to lead the youngsters. Junior Dan DeLuca and sophomores Josh Dentler and Ben Walling have all started along side Cox on the offensive line, but the expectations have changed as they enter the starting lineup. Juniors Scott Koenigsknecht, Cameron Hobbs and Evan Schriner will be joined by sophomores Derek Sparkman and Nick Fish and redshirt freshmen Nate Brady and Kyle Korman.
Mitchell on the Offensive Line “This is the one area on our football team where we head into the season with the most unknowns, Aaron Cox returns with the most experience and we have three or four who have started, but just being in the rotation is a lot different that being in the game at crunch time.”

One would think that when you graduate the NCAA DII Gene Upshaw Award winner and the Defensive Player of the Year nationally, your defense would take a step back. While the answer remains to be seen, the GVSU defensive line is not looking back and will enter the 2016 as one of the top defensive lines in the country. The Lakers go 10 deep with impact players that have produced in a big way. GVSU will dress five seniors, three juniors and four sophomores. De’Ondre Hogan is a two-time All-GLIAC honoree and poised for national honors. He recorded 65 tackles and 10.0 TFL as a junior. Alton Voss was also an All-GLIAC honoree after notching 60 tackles and 9.0 TFL. A pleasant surprise came in the form of transfer Sydney Omameh from Ohio Dominican. Sydney earned allamerican honors in 2014 as a junior, but missed all but three games in 2015 after sustaining a season-ending injury versus the Lakers. Omameh, who graduated from ODU and is enrolled in graduate school at GVSU, tallied 62 stops and 8.5 QB sacks in 2014. Senior Mark Rosenquist recorded 28 stops and comes into his senior year in the best shape of his life. Junior Keane Belcher tallied 17 tackles and 5.5 TFL, while sophomore Dylan Carroll recorded 32 tackles and 6.0 TFL. Senior Sonny Haskins is a reliable player in the middle and along with junior Cody Moore and sophomores Jacari Faulkner and Jacob Howe.
Mitchell on the Defensive Line “If you were talking about a position on our team with all the boxes checked you would most likely be talking about the defensive line. Talent and depth are a great thing and we have both on our defensive line. In addition, we have edge rushers and guys that will fill the gaps on the interior.”

The linebacking unit, like the defensive line, is a position of strength for the Lakers. Three seniors who have played a lot of important snaps, along with a junior, provide one of the best linebacking units in the country. Senior Marquez Gollman earned all-america honors after recording 117 tackles, 8.5 TFL and three interceptions in 2015. Senior David Talley earned All-GLIAC honors with a teamhigh 128 tackles, 12.5 TFL and 5.0 QB sacks, while fellow senior Joe Moran notched 65 tackles and 4.5 TFL Junior Collin Schlosser recorded 84 tackles, 7.0 TFL and 5.0 QB sacks en route to earning All-GLIAC honors. That group combined for 394 tackles, 32.5 TFL and 14.0 QB sacks. Sophomore transfer Dae’Shaun Hurley recorded 83 tackles as a redshirt freshman at Ball State, while Gabe GuilbeeRodriguez will provide depth. Sophomore Rahju Blackmon and freshmen Isaiah Nkansah and Michael Pettis will see action as reserves.
Mitchell on the Linebackers “This group has played a lot of great football for Grand Valley State. They fill the needs of our defense and we really put a lot of responsibility in their hands. I like the fact that this group of linebackers are capable in all facets of the game in terms of run stoppers and pass defenders. They are athletic and can run.”

Schipper also did an outstanding job with his kickoff duties. J.J. McGrath could help on kickoffs, while sophomore Collin Cribley and redshirt freshman battle for the punting duties.

Mitchell on the Kickers “Joel Schipper has done a great job for us kicking the ball and he is a reliable performer when we get inside the opponent 30 yard line.

Six returning secondary players have started in the defensive backfield for the Lakers. Junior safety Garrett Pougnet earned AllGLIAC honors as a sophomore with 105 tackles, 9.0 TFL and three interceptions. Senior Donte Carey is a three-year regular who recorded 45 tackles and picked off one pass. Junior Kyle Short also saw a significant amount of playing time and notched 28 tackles. Junior Tre Walton and sophomores Devin McKissic and Jacob Studdard will provide a stellar rotation at cornerback. Walton recorded 45 tackles, picked off a team-high six passes and tallied 28 pass break ups, while McKissic chipped in 47 tackles, three interceptions and 17 pass break ups. Studdard added 23 tackles in the back line. Senior Nate Cole and sophomores Brendan McMahone and Grant Postma will play a significant role on special teams and as reserves in the secondary. Mitchell on the Secondary “Again, we have some really good football players who have played a lot of snaps for us in critical situations. I like our ability to play the pass and still come up and offer run support. Our ability to rush the passer will really benefit our secondary as well.”

Columbus, Ohio - The #20-ranked Grand Valley State Laker football team came up with a big win Saturday afternoon in
Columbus, Ohio, defeating the #7-ranked Ohio Dominican Panthers by a 27-24 score. The Lakers scored 10 points in the final 6:04 to claim the win, which is was a reverse of fortune as just one year earlier ODU scored 14 points in the final 6:03 to claim a comeback win over the Lakers. The Panthers got on the board first with an 11-play, 44-yard drive that resulted in a 46 yard field goal by senior PK Brent Wahle. However, as it would all day Grand Valley State responded with an 8-play, 62-yard drive that finished with a 16 yard pass from sophomore QB Bart Williams to junior WR Matt Williams. Junior PK Joel Schipper added the PAT for a 7-3 Laker lead. Ohio Dominican turned a GVSU turnover into a 7-play, 55-yard drive that finished with a 16-yard pass from Grant Russell to JT McFarland and Wahle added the PAT for a 10-7 Panther lead. The Laker defense got a stop and Williams engineered a 6-play, 63-yard drive. Williams hit sophomore WR Brandon Bean with a 35 yard completion and senior RB Kirk Spencer finished the drive with a 4-yard TD run and Schipper converted the PAT. ODU turned in a blocked punt into a touchdown when Russell tossed a desperation pass into the endzone that Fransohn Buckley caught to give the Panthers a 17-14 lead at the half. The Laker defense dominated the second half, forcing five Ohio Dominican turnovers. It marked the most turnovers forced by GVSU since 2013 versus Wayne State. The GVSU defense forced a turnover on the Panthers first possession of the second half when redshirt freshman Devin McKissic picked off a pass at the ODU 11 yard line. Junior nickel Marquez Gollman picked off Russell on the Panthers next possession and returned it to Ohio Dominican 39-yard line. The Lakers picked up one first down and Schipper then drilled a career-long 44-yard field goal into a brisk Columbus wind to tie the game 17-17 with 6:25 left in the third quarter. The GVSU defense forced its third turnover of the third quarter when sophomore safety Garrett Pougnet forced a fumble following a pass completion that senior DE Matt Judon recovered at the ODU 40 yard line. However, the ODU defense stiffened and forced a punt. Ohio Dominican used three chunk plays to take the lead back with 2:45 left in the third quarter. Russell tossed a 19 yard TD pass and the PAT gave ODU a 24-17 lead. Trailing 24-17 the Laker offense took over on its own 29 yard line after forcing an ODU punt. Williams hit Bean with an 11 yard pass and catch to open the drive. Williams converted a third down with a quarterback sneak. The key third down conversion came on a third and 10 play. Williams hit junior RB Terrell Dorsey with a check down for an 18 yard completion. Following a Laker holding penalty, Williams then hit Justice Wright with a 12 yard completion and then found Bean with an 18 yard pass and catch. Kirk Spencer went the final 10 yards and Schipper hit the PAT for a 24-24 tie. On the ensuing kickoff Wright forced a fumble that freshman CB Jacob Studdard recovered at the Panther 15 yard line. GVSU picked up one first down, but ODU held and forced a Laker field goal. Schipper drilled the 22 yarder through the uprights and GVSU led 27-24 with 3:32 left. Ohio Dominican drove inside GVSU territory in the closing minute and picked up a fourth down conversion, however, Gollman forced a fumble following a completion to Dez Stewart that Donte Carey recovered with 49 seconds left. David Talley led the defense with 10 tackles, while Garrett Pougnet added nine stops and a forced fumble. Matt Judon applied pressure all day and chipped in seven tackles and a QB sack. Spencer rushed for 94 yards and two TDs on 18 carries, while Williams completed 15-of-31 passes for 195 yards and one TD. Bean hauled in seven catches for 124 yards, while Matt Williams caught three passes for 36 yards and a TD. Schipper converted two field goals and three PATs. TEAM STATISTICS

ALLENDALE, Mich. - #24 Grand Valley State claimed a 46-14 victory over Hillsdale College Saturday night at Lubbers Stadium before a Family Day crowd of 12,552. GVSU improves to 4-1 overall and 3-1 in GLIAC action. Junior WR Matt Williams got the Lakers on the board first with a 61-yard punt return for a touchdown midway through the first quarter. It marked the first time since the opening game of the 2012 season that GVSU has returned a punt for a TD (Reggie Williams 90 yards at Western Oregon) and it marked the seventh longest punt return for a TD in GVSU football history. PK Joel Schipper added the PAT for a 7-0 Laker lead. Hillsdale answered with a 15-play, 83-yard scoring drive that took 7:33 off the clock. The Chargers converted all four third down attempts, including a third-and-goal pass from the 17 yard line on the first play of the second quarter. GVSU answered with a 12-play, 84-yard TD drive, followed by a 10-play, 69-yard scoring drive to take a 21-7 lead. Sophomore QB Bart Williams finished each drive with a TD Pass to senior WR Jamie Potts. The first covered five yards and the second seven, followed by Schipper PATs. Hillsdale used an interception to set up a one yard TD run with just seconds left in the first half to pull within seven (21-14). Bart Williams led an 11-play, 65-yard scoring drive on the Lakers' opening possession of the second half and hit Matt Williams with a one yard TD pass to up the Laker advantage to 28-14. GVSU scored on a safety when freshman WR Nick Dodson tackled Hillsdale punter Steven Mette in the endzone when a snap sailed over his head. Schipper kicked the first of his three second half field goals following the safety and redshirt freshman Marty Carter scored on a 33 yard run to give GVSU a 40-14 lead. Schipper converted a pair of field goals for the final margin of 46-14. Schipper's three field goals were a career-high for a single game and mark the first time since 2009 (Justin Trumble at NMU) a Laker booted three field goals in a game. Grand Valley State toted the ball 45 times for 314 yards, marking the second consecutive game that GVSU broke the 300 yard rushing mark. In addition, Carter led the ground game with a career-high 104 yards, marking the first time in his career he broke the 100 yard rushing mark. Three GVSU quarterbacks (Ryan West-31, Ollie Ajami-28, Bart Williams-28) rushed for 87 yards, while Kirk Spencer (58), Ben Hutchins (34) and Jalen Bryant (23) chipped in a combined 115 rushing yards. Williams completed 19-of-32 passes for 156 yards and three TDs. Matt Williams caught five passes for 42 yards and a TD, while Potts caught four passes for 45 yards and two TDs. Sophomore Brandon Bean Chipped in three catches for 28 yards. GVSU limited Hillsdale to 53 rushing yards and 84 passing yards for 137 yards of total offense. SS Garrett Pougnet led the way with nine tackles and 1.5 TFL (-3), while DE Alton Voss chipped in seven stops and 3.0 TFL (-11). LB Collin Schlosser, LB Marquez Gollman and LB Joe Moran each tallied five tackles.

October 24, 2015
ALLENDALE, Mich. - #12 Grand Valley State claimed an impressive 52-7 victory over Findlay Saturday night before a Home-
coming crowd 11,367 at Lubbers Stadium. GVSU improves to 7-1 overall and 6-1 in GLIAC action, while Findlay falls to 4-4 overall and 3-4 in GLIAC action. The Laker defense dominated a Findlay offense that came in averaging 525.1 yards, 38.6 points, and 327.9 passing yards per game. When the clock hit 00:00 Findlay had seven points, 250 yards of total offense and 127 passing yards. Findlay punted on its first seven possessions and did not pick up a first down until the second quarter. The Oilers had 103 yards of total offense on 33 plays after the first 30 minutes of action and ran three plays in GVSU territory. Sophomore QB Bart Williams drove the Lakers 84 yards in six plays for a score on the Lakers' opening possession. Williams completed 3-of-4 passes for 70 yards, including a 32 yard TD pass to freshman receiver Nick Dodson. Junior PK Joel Schipper added the first of his seven PATs for a 7-0 lead. Williams hit Potts for 19 yards and then connected with junior WR Matt Williams for a 24 yard touchdown to up the GVSU lead to 14-0. Another quick strike drive upped the lead to 21-0 when Williams drove the Lakers 75 yards in three plays. B. Williams hit M. Williams with a 31 yard pass, followed by a 9 yard pass to senior RB Kirk Spencer and then a 35 yard TD pass to Potts. The Lakers closed the first half with a 5-play, 62-yard scoring drive. Williams hit Potts with passes covering 34 and 15 yards and Spencer finished the drive with a 2 yard TD run to put the finishing touches on a 28-0 GVSU halftime lead. The Lakers had 366 yards of total offense in the first half, including 297 passing yards. Grand Valley State opened the second half with the ball and it appeared that the Findlay defense had forced a punt, however, Potts took the snap in a punt formation and raced down the left sideline for a 60 yard fake punt TD run to give GVSU a 35-0 lead at the 12:47 mark of the third quarter. Findlay answered with its lone scoring drive of the night, covering 90 yards in 14 plays. GVSU drove 63 yards in seven plays for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. B. Williams connected with M. Williams on a 23 yard completion, followed by a 10 yard pass to Spencer and concluded the drive with a 25 yard TD pass to Potts. The reception for Potts tied him with former Laker great Eric Fowler for fourth on the all-time receptions list with 148 and moved him into second on the all-time touchdown receptions list with 32. The Laker defense got in the scoring column when junior DE Alton Voss forced a fumble that freshman DE Dylan Carroll returned it eight yards for a TD. Schipper put the finishing touches on the night with a 20 yard field goal for the final margin of 52-7. Bart Williams completed 22-of-36 passes for a career-high 383 yards and four TDs. Williams' 383 passing yards is the fifth-best total in Lubbers Stadium history and the 11th-best single-game total all-time. Spencer toted the ball 15 times for 79 yards and a TD, while hauling in five catches for 42 yards. Potts caught six passes for 150 yards and two TDs, while rushing for 60 yards and a TD. Matt Williams caught four passes for 84 yards and a TD and Nick Dodson pulled down three catches for 56 yards and a score. Potts averaged 43.7 yards on three punts with a long of 55 yards and his jumping save of a high snap from center, followed by the 55 yard punt might have been his best play of the night. The GVSU defense recorded 10 tackles for loss (-41), six QB sacks (-33) and forced two turnovers on the night. Junior LB David Talley recorded a team-high 11 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss (-13) and two QB sacks (-12). Junior LB Marquez Gollman added eight tackles and sophomore safety Garrett Pougnet chipped in seven stops. Junior DL De'Ondre Hogan added six tackles and a QB sack and senior DE Matt Judon notched four tackles, two QB sacks (-13) and two TFL (-13). Sophomore CB Tre Walton picked off his third pass of the year. TEAM STATISTICS

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.

Tiffin, Ohio - The #17 Grand Valley State football team needed a road win Saturday afternoon to remain in playoff contention and the Lakers got just that with a 49-42 GLIAC win at Tiffin. GVSU improves to 8-2 overall and 7-2 in GLIAC action, while the Dragons fall to 5-5 overall and 4-5 in GLIAC action. It looked as though it was going to be an offensive shootout from the opening possession of the game. Tiffin drove 75 yards in 11 plays and took a 7-0 when QB Antonio Pipkin hit Charles Holland with a 20 yard TD pass. The Dragons picked up three key third down conversions to keep the drive alive. However, the Laker offense answered as Kirk Spencer finished a 5-play, 71-yard drive with a 1 yard TD run. Junior PK Joel Schipper added the PAT to tie the game at 7-7. QB Bart Williams hit freshman WR Nick Dodson with a 26 yard completion on the first play of the game, then hit Spencer and WR Matt Williams with completions that covered 22 and 17 yards. The GVSU defense forced a three-and-out and the offense went back to work, driving 70 yards in six plays for a score. Senior WR Jamie Potts moved into third on the all-time receptions list with a 33 yard TD reception from sophomore Williams to give the Lakers a 13-7 lead, but the PAT was wide left. Tiffin answered and took a 14-13 lead, but Spencer returned the ensuing kickoff 46 yards to the Tiffin 49 yard line. Williams hit WR M. Williams with a 44 yard TD pass on the second play of the drive and Schipper added the PAT for a 20-14 GVSU lead. The GVSU defense got its second stop of the day when senior DE Matt Judon recovered a Pipkin fumble at the Tiffin 30 yard line. The Lakers drove 30 yards in five plays as B. Williams hit M. Williams with a 6 yard TD pass to up the Laker lead to 27-14 after the Schipper PAT. Tiffin drove 79 yards in 14 plays to pull within six (27-21) with 3:04 left in the first half as the scoring barrage continued. The Dragons ensuing kickoff went out of bounds and GVSU took over at the 35 yard line. B. Williams drove the Laker 65 yards in seven plays and hit freshman WR Nick Dodson with a 6 yard TD pass to up the lead to 34-21 with just over a minute left in the half. Tiffin scored with nine seconds left in the first half to make the halftime score 34-28 GVSU at the half. The Dragon defense forced a turnover on the Lakers' opening possession of the second half and took a 35-34 lead with 10:29 left in the third quarter when Pipkin tossed his fourth TD pass of the afternoon. Following a defensive stop in which the Lakers tallied two QB sacks, the Laker offense drove 68 yards in nine plays for a go ahead TD. B. Williams hit Potts with a 9 yard TD pass on third down and B. Williams then hit M. Williams with the two-point conversion pass to give GVSU a 42-35 lead. The Laker defense then forced a fumble that David Talley recovered and offense went back to work. Spencer finished the 29 yard drive with a 9 yard TD run and Schipper added the PAT for a 49-35 lead. The key play in the drive was a 24 yard completion from B. Williams to M. Williams on third down to keep the drive alive. Tiffin added a late TD, but the Lakers ran out the clock to pick up the win. The Laker offense churned out 477 yards (171 rushing/306 passing) and averaged 8.5 yards per play. The Laker scoring drives were short as GVSU ran just 56 plays and held possession of the ball for 21:31. The Lakers faced just seven third downs, converting five. B. Williams completed 20-of-30 passes for 306 yards and five TDs on the afternoon, while Spencer rushed for 117 yards and caught four passes for 36 yards. In addition, Spencer returned two kickoffs 71 yards for an all purpose total of 224 yards. M. Williams caught a career-high eight passes for a careerhigh 158 receiving yards and two TDs. Potts hauled in five catches for 75 yards and two TDs and Dodson pulled down two receptions for 32 yards and a TD. Junior LB Marquez Gollman led the defense with 12 tackles, while Talley added 10 stops and recovered a fumble. CB Tre Walton and LB Collin Schlosser each contributed nine tackles. Senior DE Matt Judon notched five tackles, 3.5 QB sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss on the day. Judon became the GVSU all-time, single-season lead for QB sacks (18.0), passing former Laker great Mike McFadden (16.0). In addition, Judon moved into second on the career list with 32.0 QB sacks and is just 2.5 behind Dan Skuta (34.5). TEAM STATISTICS

Big Rapids, Mich. - #12 Grand Valley State claimed a 38-34 NCAA Division II playoff road win Saturday afternoon at Top Taggart Field in a game that will go down as one of the biggest road wins in Grand Valley State football history. You can take your pick on the angle for the game, but the only angle the 2015 Laker football team was looking at was being one of eight teams still playing the first week of December. The win improved Grand Valley State to 9-0 all-time in the NCAA versus GLIAC opponents and it avenged a week three loss to the Bulldogs. The Lakers are also 5-0 all-time in the NCAA playoffs when facing a team it lost to earlier in the season and now have a 33-11 all-time NCAA playoff record, including a 33-6 mark since 2001. The Lakers came in knowing they had to be hitting on all cylinders in every facet of the game. The offense got it rolling early, taking the opening kickoff and driving 82 yards in 10 plays for a TD. Sophomore QB Bart Williams hit sophomore WR Urston Smith with a 43 yard completion and then hit senior RB Kirk Spencer with a swing pass that Spencer took in from 9 yards out. Junior PK Joel Schipper hit the PAT for a 7-0 Laker lead. The Laker defense was playing well, forcing a punt and a fumble on the Bulldogs' first two possessions, but when B. Williams was picked off for a second time in the first quarter the FSU offense started to roll. Ferris State drove 75 yards, in 6 plays for a TD as Jason Vanderlaan hit a 35 yard TD pass to WR Antonio Agurs. GVSU answered on the first play of the second quarter when B. Williams hit junior WR Matt Williams with a 66 yard TD pass and after the Schipper PAT GVSU held a 14-7 lead. FSU tied the game with an 11-play, 74-yard scoring drive, but the Lakers answered again with a scoring drive of its own, covering 47 yards in 9 plays as Schipper hit a 45 yard field goal to give GVSU a 17-14 lead. Ferris continued the scoring with a 35 yard TD pass to complete a 6-play, 78-yard scoring drive, but the PAT was wide left and the Bulldogs held a 20-17 lead. The Laker offense answered again, driving 66 yards in four plays as Williams hit Smith with a 30 yard TD pass and the PAT off the foot of Schipper gave GVSU a 24-20 halftime lead. The GVSU defense came up with two key stops, one to end the first half and one to start the second half that built the confidence of the Laker defenders. The GVSU offense was unable to get anything going on its opening possession of the second half and Ferris State returned a punt 30 yards to the Laker 23 yard line. Vanderlaan hit Agurs with a 23 yard TD pass and the PAT gave the Bulldogs a 27-24 lead. B. Williams drove the Lakers 80 yards in eight plays and freshman RB Marty Carter finished the drive with an 11 yard run. The drive consisted of four completed passes and four runs as the offense continued to keep the Bulldog defense confused. The Ferris State offense answered just as it had every time GVSU took a lead throughout the day. FSU drove 83 yards in 13 plays for a 10 yard scoring pass from Vanderlaan to Jamel Lockett and the PAT give the Bulldogs a 34-31 lead. However, on this day the Lakers would not be denied. GVSU drove 78 yards in eight plays as B. Williams hit M. Williams with a one yard TD pass and the all important PAT from Schipper split the uprights. B. Williams hit M. Williams with a key 17 yard completion on a third-and-two play and Carter hit B. Williams with a running back throw back to B. Williams that covered 23 yards to the FSU four yard line prior to the TD pass to M. Williams. Leading 38-34 the Laker defense then rose to the occasion. Junior LB David Talley picked off a Vanderlaan pass with 6:38 left in the fourth quarter and sophomore CB Tre Walton batted away a Vanderlaan pass on fourth-and-eight with just under a minute left to secure the win. B. Williams completed 20-of-34 passes for 335 yards and four TDs, while M. Williams broke the 100-yard receiving mark for the sixth time in 2015, hauling in five catches for 126 yards and two TDs. Smith caught four passes for a career-high 108 yards receiving. Freshman Nick Dodson caught four passes for 40 yards. Senior RB Kirk Spencer rushed for 77 yards on eight carries and caught five passes for 35 yards and a TD. Spencer recorded 194 all-purpose yards on the afternoon.

Following a GVSU interception Shepherd drove 54 yards in five plays as Jessop hit Bill Brown with with a 2 yard TD pass and the PAT gave the Rams a 27-19 lead. The Shepherd defense then made a big play with an interception return for a touchdown to up its lead to 34-19 with just over 10 minutes left in the game.

The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference began sponsoring football as a league sport in the Fall of 1973 with three teams, Ferris State, Grand Valley State and Northwood. In 1974, Hillsdale joined the league as the fourth football team. The conference expanded again in 1975 when Saginaw Valley State started a football program and Wayne State joined the league. The number of GLIAC football teams grew to seven in 1980 when Michigan Tech was added, though the Huskies left the league after the 1985 season. In 1987, Northwood left the league and was replaced by Northern Michigan. After the 1989 season, the GLIAC dropped football as a sponsored sport. The six conference schools sponsoring football, Ferris State, Grand Valley State, Hillsdale, Northern Michigan, Saginaw Valley State, and Wayne State, joined the ve members of the Heartland Collegiate Conference, Ashland, Butler, Indianapolis, St. Joseph’s, and Valparaiso, in forming the football-only Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference (MIFC), which began play in 1990. The MIFC would change again for the 1993 season as two teams would leave and two teams would join. Butler and Valparaiso

left the conference, but Northwood rejoined and the College of St. Francis (Ill.) was added. The league grew to 12 teams in 1994 with the addition of Michigan Tech and stayed at 12 teams until St. Joseph’s left after the 1995 season. In 1998, the league expanded to 14 teams with the additions of Findlay, Mercyhurst, and Westminster, but would drop back to 13 teams with the departure of St. Francis after the season. Westminster departed after the 1999 season, leaving 12 teams. Gannon was added before the 2004 season, giving the league a 13team roster. After nine years of existence as one of the premier conferences in Division II football, the MIFC merged as part of GLIAC on July 1, 1999. The GLIAC has earned the reputation as one of the toughest and deepest conferences in Division II with a strong postseason history. Three GLIAC teams made National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) playoff appearances. Grand Valley State made it to the national semi nals in 1978. Saginaw Valley State made three trips to the NAIA playoffs (1979, 1983, 1984), posting a 2-3 mark. Hillsdale earned ve NAIA postseason berths as a member of the GLIAC (1981, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1988), taking home the championship in 1985. The rst team to represent the GLIAC in the Division II playoffs was Northern Michigan in 1987. The Wildcats made the D-II semi nals that season. Grand Valley State started a three-year postseason run in 1989, though the Lakers failed to get out of the rst round.

The History of GLIAC Football had two teams participate in postseason play. Butler fell to the eventual national champion, Pittsburg State in the rst round. The 1992 Division II playoffs saw the rst GLIAC team make it past the opening round in league history. Ferris State posted a rst-round win over Edinboro before falling to New Haven in the quarter nals. The 1992 season marked the beginning of a ve-year playoff run for the Bulldogs, with their best performance coming in 1995 after a D-II semi nal appearance. Grand Valley State made its fourth and fth D-II postseason trips in 1994 and 1998, respectively. Ashland made its rst appearance in the playoffs as a member of the GLIAC in 1997. After being shut out of the playoffs in 1999, the GLIAC posted two teams in the 2000 tournament as Northwood and Saginaw Valley State each made their rst D-II postseason appearances. The Timberwolves claimed a rst-round victory over Indiana (Pa.) before falling to Bloomsburg in the quarter nals. The 2001 season was historic for the league as two teams made it through the rst round of the playoffs. Grand Valley State and Saginaw Valley State each posted opening-round wins and faced each other in the national quarter nals. The Lakers won a shoot-out in Allendale, 33-30, and cruised to a semi nal win over Catawba. GVSU advanced to the championship game before falling to North Dakota, 17-14. The Lakers redeemed themselves in 2002 by claiming the league’s rst Division II football national championship. Grand Valley State defeated Valdosta State in the nals, 31-24. GVSU would repeat as national champions in 2003. The Lakers knocked off North Dakota in that championship game, 10-3. GLIAC co-champions Michigan Tech and Northwood, along with Grand Valley State, would earn playoff berths in 2004. GVSU fell in the regional nals to North Dakota, 19-15. The 2005 season saw more postseason success for the GLIAC. GVSU, SVSU, and Northwood each gained postseason entrance. The Lakers and Cardinals battled for the Northwest Region title, but GVSU advanced, 24-17, and went on to defeat NW Missouri State, 21-17, in the Division II title game. In 2006 both Northwood and Grand Valley State earned postseason berths. The Lakers ran the table and meet NW Missouri State in the nals, claiming a 1714 victory and winning the leagues’ fourth D-II Championship. GVSU and Ashland earned playoff bids in 2007 and 2008, while 2009 saw Grand Valley State, Hillsdale, and Saginaw Valley State in the D-II postseason. GVSU made an impressive run to the nal before falling to NW Missouri State, 30-23. In 2010, GVSU and Hillsdale earned D-II playoff berths with the Lakers falling in the Super Region III Semi nals. 2011 saw Wayne State and SVSU make the postseason with the Warriors making an improbable run to the D-II nals before falling to Pittsburgh State, 35-21. Ashland represented the Conference in the 2012 playoffs, losing to Midwestern State in the Super Region IV semi nals, 3328. The GVSU Lakers once again made a deep run in the 2013 NCAA Playoffs which started with a triumph over GLIAC foe Saginaw Valley State.

in Allendale 35-28. Northwest Missouri State used their home eld advantage to defeat the Lakers by a 27-13 nal score in the D-II semis. After an exciting 2014 regular season, three GLIAC programs quali ed for the NCAA D-II Playoffs. Ohio Dominican returned to the playoffs for the second straight season and took down Colorado Mines on the road in impressive fashion to start the postseason, 34-23. Meanwhile, Angelo State stunned Michigan Tech 42-41 in Houghton after a wild second half comeback from ASU bounced the Huskies at home. In the regional semi nals, Ohio Dominican dissected the unbeaten Ferris State attack and advanced in the back-and-forth contest with a 46-33 victory on the road in Big Rapids. Unfortunately, the ODU run ended in the next round as the Panthers fell behind early and nearly completed a major comeback on the road before falling 31-28 to the eventual national champions, CSU-Pueblo. Ashland and Ferris State both completed undefeated regular seasons in 2015 and joined Grand Valley State in the D2 playoffs to once again give the GLIAC three NCAA bids. Ferris State upended Texas A&M-Commerce while Grand Valley State earned a road victory at Ashland to eliminate the Eagles in the Super Region 4 Quarter nals. The GVSU Lakers went on to avenge a regular-season loss to Ferris State by defeating the Bulldogs 38-34 in Big Rapids. Grand Valley State then traveled to CSU-Pueblo where they earned an impressive 31-7 victory and the Super Region 4 title. However, GVSU’s impressive run as the No. 6 seeded Lakers dropped a 34-32 decision to Shepherd in the national semi nals. Though many teams have made history for the GLIAC, the league can also boast upon individual accomplishments. In 2002, GVSU quarterback Curt Anes became the GLIAC’s rst Harlon Hill Trophy winner as the Division II Player of the Year. Anes led the Lakers to consecutive championship game appearances, helping GVSU to the national title in 2002. The GLIAC had its second Harlon Hill winner when Wayne State running back Joique Bell claimed the honor in 2009. In 2015 & 2016, Ferris State quarterback Jason Vander Laan took home the D-II Heisman equivalent twice after a consecutive record-shattering years for the Bulldogs. Vander Laan became the greatest rushing quarterback in NCAA college football history at any level during the 2016 season, concluding his career with 5,953 total yards on the ground. He also became the rst player in NCAA history to top 1,000 yards rushing and passing for four consecutive seasons.

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. 2015 will bring much of the same. The Lakers led the nation in attendance for the fourth consecutive year in 2015, drawing 74,187 in five home games for a nation leading average of 12,365. The most recent addition for the 2016 football campaign will be a new video board that will stand 40 feet tall and 72.5 feet wide for a total display area of 2,900 square feet in the north end zone. The board will feature 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 will be 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 moved 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

LUBBERS STADIUM each end of the west side stands to accommodate 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 square feet on each side). The Lakers set a Lubbers Stadium and GLIAC single-game, oncampus record in 2009 as 16,467 fans watched Grand Valley State claim a 38-7 victory over Saginaw Valley State. GVSU set a GLIAC single-season attendance record in 2013 as 91,045 fans watched Laker home games. The 12,365 per game average in 2015 was 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.

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.

STORIED TRADITION 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.
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, 20-14, 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
STORIED TRADITION
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. 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 jun-

ior 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 Championships 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 line and GVSU had its third DII football National Championship in four years. The victory also enabled the Laker senior class to pick up their 51st victory against just four losses to establish the top victory total and best winning percentage in a four-year period. The Lakers placed 18 on the All-GLIAC team, including nine firstteamers. DT Mike McFadden was named the GLIAC Defensive Lineman of the Year, while Cullen Finnerty was named the Offensive Back of the Year. McFadden and OT Josh Bourke were consensus all-americans. McFadden was named the Gene Upshaw Award winner as the top DII interior lineman. Head coach Chuck Martin was named the AFCA DII Coach of the Year.
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. Grand Valley State has appeared in five title games since 2001. The Lakers swept through the 2006 regular season in dominating fashion, outscoring its GLIAC foes by an average score of 37.1 14.6. Grand Valley State then rambled through a playoff run that included wins over two North Central Conference schools (South Dakota and North Dakota) in regional action, a win over a Gulf South Conference team (Delta State) in the semifinals, followed by a victory over Northwest Missouri State (17-14) of the MIAA in the title game. 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. Seven individuals earned all-american honors, including consensus first-teamers in QB Cullen Finnerty, OT Brandon Barnes, DL Mike McFadden, LB Anthony Adams and CB Brandon Carr.
STORIED TRADITION
GVSU concluded the 2006 season with college football’s longest active winning streak (28 games) and the winners in 85of-their-last-90 football games. Grand Valley State quarterback Cullen Finnerty concluded his career as college football’s all-time winningest starting QB in terms of total wins with a 51-4 record. 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. Freshman Jimmy Berezik stepped in and ran for 1,021 yards with eight touchdowns, while Blake Smolen tallied 1,631 all-purpose yards. Senior Brandon Horn caught a team-best 55 passes for 823 yards, while Antione Trent hauled in 34 passes for 585 yards and 11 TDs. Defensively, the Lakers were led by Anthony Adams and Dan Skuta. Adams piled up 94 tackles, 52 solo, along with 20.5 tackles for loss for a total of 74 yards. He also recorded six sacks and two forced fumbles. Skuta was second on
the team with 77 tackles, with 17.5 for a loss. He notched 11.5 sacks for 71 yards and forced four fumbles. 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. Skuta also earned First Team All-American status from Daktronics, and also second team plaudits from the AP. The selections marked the seventh straight year that a GVSU player was named to the AFCA All-American First Team. Iciek was also named as a Harlon Hill finalist for the most valuable player in Division II football. He became the fourth straight GVSU quarterback to be named as a Harlon Hill finalist. 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 most successful DII football team since 2001 continued its winning ways in 2009. The Lakers won their fifth straight GLIAC title and advanced to the NCAA DII National Championship game for the sixth time in the last nine years. Hillsdale College snapped the Lakers’ 45-game regular season winning streak, but GVSU atoned for that loss with a win over the Chargers in the NCAA playoffs. NW Missouri State claimed a 30-23 win over the Lakers in the title game. Senior QB Brad Iciek was a Harlon Hill finalist for the third consecutive year and senior WR Blake Smolen became the Lakers all-time, all-purpose yardage leader. Nick McDonald, Danny Richard, Justin Victor and Jake McGuckin were recognized nationally for their play on the field.
Matt Mitchell Takes Over As Head Coach Matt Mitchell took over as the seventh head coach in the programs history and won the most games of any first-year head coach (11). The Lakers claimed their sixth straight GLIAC title and appeared in the NCAA DII Playoffs for the 11th consecutive year. Senior offensive lineman Cameron Bradfield was a consensus First-Team All-American, while senior linebacker Justin Victor also earned post-season honors from several publications. After claiming the 2011 season opener, GVSU lost three straight games by a total of 10 points in games where the outcome was decided on the last play of the game. 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. Grand Valley State captured a 34-30 victory at No. 3 Colorado State-Pueblo and won its eithth NCAA DII regional crown with a 35-28 comeback win over 11th-ranked West Texas A&M.

GVSU claimed a 45-28 win at #3 Ashland in an opening round playoff game, followed by a 38-34 victory at #2 Ferris State in second-round action. The Lakers then claimed a 317 win at #4 and defending National Champion Colorado StatePueblo in the regional final before dropping a tough 34-32 decision at #5 Shepherd in the semifinals.

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. NCAA Division II All-Time Winningest Teams

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 2011 and 2012. Eric Lynch (1989-90), Jeff Fox (1998), Curt Anes (2001-02), Cullen Finnerty (2006) and Brad Iciek (2007-09) 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.

Since 2000, GVSU has won 151 games, four national championships, completed five undefeated regular seasons and won more games than any other Football Bowl Subdivision, Football Championship Subdivision, and Division II football team in the country. The Lakers staked their claim as the team of the decade for the 2000’s.

Florence, Alabama has become a “home away from home” for the Laker football program in the 2000’s. GVSU has made the trip from Allendale to Florence six times this decade. The Lakers own an impressive 6-1 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. NCAA Division II Football Championships 5 - MW Missouri State

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, 13 primary signal callers have lined up under center. Four of GVSU’s last six quarterbacks have been Harlon Hill Award finalists as the DII Player of the Year. Sophomore Bart Williams is the next in line for the Harlon Hill Award.
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 named 10 winners of the award, with four of the 10 recipients being linemen 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 and Matt Judon was the recipient in 2015.
Curt Anes brought the Harlon Hill Trophy back from Alabama in 2002 along with the first national championship trophy. Anes finished second in 2001. 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 and 2015 center Matt Armstrong, TE Jamie Potts and DE Matt Judon added to the impressive group. Grand Valley State’s 2016 squad will again have a number of players that could garner post-season honors as the top players in Division II.
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 12,000 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 21 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 during the 201415 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 Grand Rapids Press/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 on TV throughout the State of Michigan on Xfinity. GVSU has also been on the ESPN family of networks 10 times since 2001.
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 40 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 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, and a new scoreboard with a prostar video display was constructed in the north end zone.
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.

LAKERS IN THE PROS
Brandon Carr (Cowboys), Dan Skuta (Jaguars), Tim Lelito (Saints), Charles Johnson (Vikings) and Matt Judon (Ravens) have solidified themselves as top level performers in the NFL, while offensive linemen Josh Bourke and Brandan Revenberg are among the top offensive lineman in the Canadian Football League. Bourke was picked up by the Montreal Alouettes after a short stint in the NFL. He has been successful in his native Canada, having been named to the CFL All-Star team five straight years and helped to lead his team to a Grey Cup title twice. Revenberg was the third overall pick in the 2016 CFL draft.
Matt Judon was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2016 NFL draft in the fifth round. Brandon Carr is one of the top CB in the NFL, while Dan Skuta has established himself at linebacker. Tim Lelito is in his second year as the starting center for the Saints. Charles Johnson was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 2013, but was picked up off the Packers practice squad by the Cleveland Browns and is on the 54-man roster for Vikings.

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 has some of the greatest 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. The Fighting Irish enter the 2016 season ranked No. 9 in the country. BRIAN KELLY

HARLON HILL AWARD The Harlon Hill Trophy annually goes to the top football player in Division II, recognizing that individual as the NCAA Division II Player of the Year. Six Laker football players have been nominated a total of 11 times for the Harlon Hill Award. Brad Iciek was the most recent nominee in 2009, marking the third straight year Iciek was a nominee. Iciek is just the second player in the history of the Harlon Hill Award to be a three-time nominee and recorded two top five finishes. Cullen Finnerty was one of three finalists in 2006, while Michael Tennessee was nominated in 2003. Curt Anes (2001-02), Jeff Fox (1997-98) and Eric Lynch (1990-91) also earned multiple nominations for the 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.

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.

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.

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.

Terwilliger completed 24-of-47 passes for 287 yards and two TDs, with most of that yardage coming when the outcome of the game was already decided. Sophomore LB Anthony Adams recorded 10 tackles, three tackles for loss (-20) and two QB sacks (-19). Kirk Carruth chipped in seven tackles and sack, while Dan Skuta added six tackles and a QB sack. All-American and Gene Upshaw Award finalist Mike McFadden tallied five tackles, four tackles for loss (-13) and three QB sacks (-12).

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.

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.

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.
