However, a plethora of injuries that cost GVSU 68 games of missed action from its twodeep played a key role in the squad not reaching its ultimate goal of winning a league title and reaching the NCAA DII Playoffs. “We were obviously not happy with the end result in 2012,” said third-year head coach Matt Mitchell. “Our offense put us in position to play deep into the season for the most part, but we did not get the job done on the defensive side of the ball,” said Mitchell. “Injuries on both sides fo the ball played a role, but in the end we need to be better as coaches and players in every facet of the game.” The Lakers lost a dangerous weapon in AllAmerican receiver Charles Johnson (72 rec., 1,199 yds., 16 TDs), who was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 2013 NFL draft, however, GVSU does return a number of offensive players that played key roles in the squad averaging 41.9 points per game in 2012. In the passing game, GVSU returns nearly all of its production ( 2,738 yards and 28 TDs) between two quarterbacks. In addition, the last two starting quarterbacks for the Lakers return as the national leaders in pass efficiency rating (Heath Parling 2011 and Isiah Grimes 2012). The rushing game, which tallied 2,387 yards and 32 touchdowns, averaged nearly six yards per carry and racked up 218.1 yards a game in 2012. The receiving unit is where the most change will happen, with the top two pass-catchers from 2012 (Charles Johnson and Israel Woolfork) graduated. The Lakers will be returning 75 catches, 1,375 yards and 11 touchdowns, but the extremely experienced group of quarterbacks should make the rebuilding process a little easier. Since 2001, every quarterback that has returned as a starter from the previous season has led Grand Valley State to the NCAA Division II National Championship game. Junior Heath Parling (6-3, 215) is

returning from an injury in 2012 that limited him to three games. In 2011, Parling led the nation in pass efficiency rating (180.3) after completing 154-of249 passes for 2,415 yards and 34 TDs. His limited time in 2012 saw him complete 38-of-59 passes for 525 yards, six TDs and no interceptions. Isiah Grimes (6-6, 240) stepped in form Parling in 2012 returns in 2013 after putting together an outstanding sophomore campaign. Grimes completed 119-of-203 passes for 2,213 yards and 22 TDs, leading the nation in pass efficiency at 178.07. For his efforts, Grimes was named honorable mention All-GLIAC. “We feel good with our returning quarterbacks and what they bring to the table. Heath and Isiah have been in our offense for four years and have a combined 21 starts.” The Lakers are loaded at the running back position in 2013, returning nearly every yard gained from the 2012 season. The Laker running game features nearly every type of running back, including four players that have started games in the backfield. The veteran presence of the group is senior Hersey Jackson (6-0, 215), who battled injuries in 2012, playing in only two games and scoring three touchdowns. Junior Chris Robinson (6-1, 220) had 361 yards and six TDs in a little over RUNNING BACKS three games played.

Running the ball has always been key to our offense and it will continue to be a key. We really like the versatility of our running backs and what they offer to our offense,” said Mitchell.

experience returning from 2012, but the group still has a lot of veteran leadership returning. Senior Brandan Green (5-10, 180), who is one of the more versatile players on the roster, hauled in 16 passes for 296 yards and two TDs in last season. Juniors Keontre’ Miskel (6-1, 190) and Darryl Pitts (6-2, 200) are set to take over for the dparted Johnson and Woolfork. Miskel caught five passes for 70 yards and a TD last season, while Pitts caught 13 passes for 323 yards and two TDs, leading the team with a 24.8 yards per catch average.

Redshirt freshmen Joe Robbins (6-3, 205), Urston Smith (6-1, 205) and Kevin Vicari (5-9, 185) have all laid claim to playing time come the fall. “We will be a lot more balanced at receiver this season and we have a number of options because of our depth.” The top returning receiver from the 2012 season comes from the athletic group of tight ends. Sophomore Jamie Potts (6-3, 225) caught 17 passes for 327 yards and two TDs in his first campaign and returns for the 2013 season as the leader in both catches and yards from a year ago. Junior Joe Wirth (6-4, 257) is one of the best blocking tight ends on the team and has played in 19 games in his two years as a Laker. Joining the rotation and new to the program this year will be junior Dylan Brooks (6-2, 248) and sophomore Alton Voss (6-3, 245). In addition, redshirt freshmen Jeremy Byers (6-3, 240) and Joe Warner (6-4, 230) will provide depth. “I really like what we have at tight end. Like wide receiver, we have experience and depth with a number of combinations that we can put on the field.” The strength of nearly every Laker football team for the last 15 years has been the offensive line and this year’s squad is led by one of the best in NCAA Division
II entering the 2013 season. Senior Matt Armstrong (6-3, 290) is a consensus preseason All-American and a strong candidate to give the Lakers a ninth GLIAC Offensive Lineman of the Year in the last 12 years. Armstrong was a FirstTeam All-GLIAC honoree in 2012. Sophomore Connor Gould (6-4, 280) started 10 games for the Lakers in 2012 as a redshirt freshman and will be candidate for postseason honors. Joining him as a starter should be junior tackle Eric LaBuhn (6-5, 315), who started four games last year and played in all 11. Junior Payton McCallum (6-2, 280) is an experienced player who will see time at guard, while sophomore Jim Walsh (6-5, 310) should step in to the right tackle position. Seeing time as part of the two-deep should be sophomore Aaron Cox (6-5, 300), sophomore Brandon Revenberg (6-4, 285), and redshirt freshmen Robert Ault (6-3, 295), Cameron Hobbs (6-5, 305) and Zach Jolly (67, 280). “I like the players we will line up with on the offensive line, however, we have some unknowns because of playing experience.” Defensively, coaches and players are looking for different results in 2013.

Monmouth, Oregon - #7 Grand Valley State claimed a season-opening 48-20 road win over Western Oregon Saturday in Monmouth, Oregon. GVSU is now 1-0 on the year. Western Oregon opened the game strong offensively, driving 72 yards in five plays for a score on its opening possession of the game. Senior QB Cody VonAppen hit junior flanker Lucas Gonsalves with a 12-yard TD pass as the drive took just 2:20 off the clock. The Laker offense was unable to get anything going and punted, while Western Oregon punted on its second possession. Grand Valley State put together a sustained drive on its second possession, moving 76 yards in eight plays for a score. Junior WR Brandon Green carried the ball in from 21 yards out on a reverse for the first TD of the season for the Lakers. The Lakers rushed the ball for 69 yards on the drive that took 2:34 off the clock. Place kicker Marco Iaderosa added his first PAT of the day to tie the score at 7-7. The Laker defense forced back-to-back punts to set up the Lakers' second score. Junior CB/PR Reggie Williams took the Wolves second punt 90 yards for a touchdown, the longest punt return for a TD in Laker football history. Iaderosa added his second PAT of the day and GVSU led 14-7 at the 5:40 mark of the first quarter. The Laker defense forced another punt to set up GVSU's third TD of the day. Sophomore running back Chris Robinson broke off a 46-yard run and finished the 5-play, 83-yard drive with a 9-yard TD run with 25 seconds left in first quarter to up the Laker lead to 21-7. "I thought we regrouped and stayed together following that opening score for Western Oregon," said Mitchell. "The offense did a nice job with those two long drives and obviously Reggie's (Williams) punt return for a score was big for our team." The Laker defense had apparently held on a third-down run inside the GVSU five, but a face mask personal foul gave the Wolves new life. Running back Kenneth Haynes scored on a 3-yard run one play later to pull the Western Oregon within seven (21-14). GVSU turned the ball over as Robinson fumbled on GVSU's own 42 yard line. The Laker defense held and forced a 30-yard field goal by Kelly Morgan. The Laker offense answered with an 8-play, 60-yard scoring drive that highlighted redshirt freshman tight end Jamie Potts. Potts hauled in a 25-yard pass and closed the drive with a 5-yard TD reception, the first receiving TD of his career. Western Oregon's Kelly Morgan hit a school-record 53-yard field goal with 38 seconds left in the first half to pull the Wolves within 28-20 at the half. Grand Valley State opened the second half with an 11-play, 80-yard scoring drive. Sophomore running back Michael Ratay converted a fourth-and-one play with a 7-yard run and Robinson added his second TD of day with a 5-yard TD run to up the Laker lead to 35-20. The Laker defense dominated Western Oregon's offense in the third quarter, holding the Wolves to two total yards on 10 plays. Junior cornerback Michael Hatcher picked off a deflected pass midway through the third quarter and returned it 11 yards for a TD to up the Laker lead to 41-20. Erik Thompson recorded his first interception of the year and sophomore defensive end Matt Judon picked off another deflected pass and returned it 41 yards for the final points of the afternoon for the Lakers. "I thought our defense played much better in the second half," said Mitchell. "We ran to the ball and forced three turnovers." GVSU's starting defense held Western Oregon to just 55 yards in the second half. The Laker ground game rushed for 221 yards on 33 carries, highlighted by Robinson's 99 yards and two TDs on just 11 carries. Robinson also hauled in three passes for 35 yards. Ratay added 43 yards on seven carries and freshman Kirk Spencer chipped in 30 rushing yards on nine carries. GVSU junior QB Heath Parling completed 15-of-24 passes for 159 yards and one TD. Senior WR Charles Johnson caught five passes for 28 yards and had a 64 yard TD run called back because of a penalty. Defensively, redshirt freshman safety Brad Horling led the squad with nine tackles and three tackles for loss. Junior safety Erik Thompson and junior LB Charles Hill each added eight stops.

Allendale, Mich. - The first game at the newly-renovated Lubbers Stadium provided a plethora of offense, resulting in an 83-46 victory for the seventhranked Grand Valley State football team on Saturday (Sept. 8) in front of a crowd of 15,139, the second-biggest in Lubbers Stadium history. The first game ever at Lubbers Stadium, in 1973, was a 27-14 win over Kalamazoo College. Saturday's game against Notre Dame College provided a considerable larger amount of offense as the Lakers scored the second-most points in school history (vs Valparaiso, 91 points in 1989) and the two teams combined for 129 points, the most ever combined in a game in school history. It only took the Lakers 1:18 to get on the board in the 2012 home opener as sophomore Chris Robinson plunged in from two yards out to give GVSU a 7-0 lead early in the first. The two teams exchanged blows back-and-forth in the first quarter, as Pedro Powell scored from 34 yards out to tie it at seven and the Lakers responded with another touchdown run, this one by sophomore Michael Ratay, to take a 14-7 lead. As the first quarter expired, Powell went in from one yard out to make it a 14-all game after the first quarter. After Robinson scored his second touchdown of the game just 2:40 in to the second quarter, the Laker defense was able to finally stop the Falcons, as junior Luther Ware recovered an errant option pitch on Notre Dame's 17 yard line. It only took one play for junior quarterback Heath Parling to find senior receiver Charles Johnson to take a 28-14 lead. The GVSU flurry continued as the first Notre Dame play on the ensuing drive resulted in a diving interception by junior cornerback Reggie Williams, who jumped the curl route at Notre Dame's 23 yard-line. Again, it took the Lakers only one play to put it in the endzone as Parling found Ratay with a 23-yard touchdown pass to make it a 35-14 game that GVSU wouldn't look back in. The Falcons were able to get two more rushing touchdowns out of Powell in the first half, but they were sandwiched around two more Laker touchdowns. Johnson caught his second touchdown pass of the day with 2:41 to play in the half on a 10-yard pass from Parling and Ratay hauled in a 48-yard touchdown pass on a seam route down the middle of the field with 58 seconds to play. The Lakers went in to the locker room with a 48-27 lead. Notre Dame pulled a little closer by scoring on the first drive of the second half on a 28-yard touchdown pass, but Robinson punched in his third of four touchdowns in the game on the ensuing drive to give the Lakers a 55-33 lead. The two teams exchanged scores one more time in the third as Ratay added his fourth touchdown of the game to make it a 62-40 score after three quarters. GVSU kept the numbers rolling on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter, beginning with Robinson's fourth rushing touchdown of the day with 12:14 to play to make it 69-40 and then junior defensive end Denzel Rodgers made the biggest defensive play of the day, returning a fumble 82 yards for a touchdown after senior Jarrod Cox jarred the ball loose on a run up the middle. Sophomore Ben Hutchins capped the scoring at 83-46 with a two-yard scoring plunge with 1:18 to play. The Lakers rolled up 599 yards of total offense on 73 plays, an average of 8.2 yards per play, going for 307 through the air and 292 on the ground. Individually, nearly every offensive starter for GVSU had a career day. Robinson finished the game with 107 yards rushing and four touchdowns, while freshman Kirk Spencer had 76 yards rushing on nine carries and Hutchins contributed 52 yards and a touchdown on five carries. Ratay had two scores and 41 yards on six totes of the ball. Parling was 21-for-31 passing with 307 yards, four touchdowns an no interceptions. His main target was Johnson, who tied a Lubbers Stadium record with 12 catches, 138 yards and two touchdowns. Ratay crossed the century mark as well, going for 105 yards and two touchdowns on only four catches. Junior linebacker Charles Hill had a game-high 13 tackles including a pass break-up, while freshman Brad Horling and sophomore Deonte' Hurst each had 11. Horling also had a tackle for loss and the first interception of his GVSU career, a pass he took the other way 25 yards with Notre Dame deep in GVSU territory. Junior Erik Thompson had another big game on the return team, taking a kick back 69 yards to lead off the game, part of 91 yards on three returns. Thompson also had a kick return touchdown brought back due to holding in the second half. Grand Valley State is now 2-0 on the year and move to 1-0 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The Falcons fall to 1-1 and 0-1 in the conference.

Tiffin, Ohio - No. 4 Grand Valley State claimed a 28-0 road victory over Tiffin University Saturday afternoon. GVSU improves to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in GLIAC action, while the Dragons fall to 1-2 overall and 0-2 in GLIAC play. On the Lakers' second possession junior QB Heath Parling hit senior WR Charles Johnson with a 58-yard pass down to the Tiffin 1-yard line on first down. GVSU then finished the drive with a Parling to Johnson slant pass for a touchdown and Marco Iaderosa added the PAT for a 7-0 lead at the 5:25 mark of the first quarter. "Charles did a nice job of running his route and Heath let him run away from the coverage into open space, said third-year head coach Matt Mitchell. The o-line also did a great job of protecting Heath to give him enough time." Following an interception by GVSU junior CB Reggie Williams, GVSU drove 63 yards in nine plays, concluding with an 8-yard TD run by sophomore running back Michael Ratay at the 12:22 mark of the second quarter. "Reggie did a nice job of showing one coverage and sliding into something else and he stayed on top to get into good position to make the interception," added Mitchell. Sophomore QB Isiah Grimes hit Johnson with another 58-yard pass completion to the Dragon 9-yard line and finished the drive with a 5-yard TD pass to Ratay with 3:18 left in the first half. "I thought Isiah did a nice job when he was pressed into duty. He was composed and looked comfortable when leading the team," said Mitchell. Freshman RB Kirk Spencer returned the second half kickoff 77 yards to the Tiffin 9-yard line to set up the Lakers' fourth score. Ratay toted the ball to the one and Grimes hit Johnson with a TD pass in the back of the end zone for a score. Iaderosa added the PAT and GVSU led 28-0 with just over a minute gone in the third quarter. "Spencer's return was big as it set us up to make it a four-score game," said Mitchell. The Lakers moved into Dragon territory several more times in the third and fourth quarter, but were unable to put more points on the board. "It was a nice win and I told the team anytime you are able to pick up a win on the road you have to feel good," said Mitchell. The shutout was the Lakers' first since blanking Ferris State in 2010 (41-0). GVSU tallied 363 yards of total offense on just 51 plays, rushing for 157 and passing for 206. Junior RB Chris Robinson rushed for 77 yards on 12 carries, while Ratay added 65 yards and a TD on eight carries. Grimes completed 10-of-15 passes for 143 yards and two TDs, while Parling completed 2-of-4 passes for 59 yards and a score. Charles Johnson hauled in six passes for 139 yards and two TDs. The Laker defense limited Tiffin to 313 total yards, led by junior LB Charles Hills' team-high nine tackles. Williams added six tackles and a pick, while Deonte Hurst pitched in six tackles. GVSU recorded two QB sacks (-13) eight tackles for loss (-48). TU 21 11 8 2 37 192 48 144 169 4.2 7 1 77 313 4.1 1-0 3-20 7-261 37.3 0-0 2-28 1-0 0-0 0 33:19 6-16 0-3 1-6

Allendale, Mich. - The fourth-ranked Grand Valley State football team held off a resilient Ohio Dominican squad on Saturday (Sept. 22) night, as a touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Darryl Pitts with just over a minute to play gave the Lakers the wild 46-41 win. After falling behind 6-0 early in the second quarter after two Panther field goals, the Lakers were able to get a big 74 yard kick return from freshman Kirk Spencer to set up a 21-yard touchdown run from sophomore Michael Ratay, his first of three scores on the evening. An interception by junior corner Reggie Williams on the ensuing ODU drive gave the Lakers great field position and again they were able to capitalize as Ratay went in for a 20-yard score to make it a 14-6 contest. The Panthers responded with a score on their first play from scrimmage following the kickoff as Brandon Schoen went 75 yards for a touchdown to draw ODU within one at 14-13. GVSU seemed to take control following the big play, getting a 10-yard touchdown catch from senior Israel Woolfork with 9:22 to play in the half and then another touchdown run from Ratay with 1:24 left to play that gave the Lakers a 26-13 advantage. In the third quarter, after a short Ohio Dominican punt left the Lakers with great field position, sophomore quarterback Isiah Grimes, in his first game as a starter, went deep to senior Charles Johnson for a 43-yard score. On the extra point, the snap was fumbled, but it turned in to two points for GVSU as freshman backup quarterback Brandon Beitzel found Joe Wirth in the corner of the endzone on the broken play for the conversion to make it 34-13 Lakers. The Panthers responded with a score of their own on the ensuing drive to cut the lead to 34-20, but Williams came up with yet another big play, returning the kickoff 83 yards to paydirt, becoming the first Laker in school history to have both a kick and punt return touchdown in the same year (90 yard PR at Western Oregon). The Lakers led 40-20 going in to the fourth quarter. Ohio Dominican would not lay down, however, scoring 21 straight points in the fourth quarter, uimately taking the lead 41-40 with only 6:07 to play. With 3:22 to play and the Lakers down one, the GVSU defense was able to get a key stop and force a punt to their own 42-yard line. After a 15-yard rush from Spencer to put the Lakers in ODU territory and a strike to junior Brandan Green to get GVSU down to the Panther 14-yard line, a snap to Grimes went through his hands and he had to cover up at the ODU 25. An incomplete pass made it a 3rd and 21 situation, where Grimes threw a pass to the corner of the endzone that found its way in to the arms of Pitts for a touchdown with only 1:16 to play to give the Lakers a 46-41 lead. The two-point conversion attempt was stopped at the one. The Panthers began their last drive with some success, using a nine-yard pass and a 4th and 1 conversion to get to their own 48-yard line. With 31 seconds to play, a pass from Mark Miller went through the hands of the intended receiver and fell in to the arms of junior defensive back Dana Dixon at the GVSU 29-yard line to seal the victory for the Lakers. GVSU racked up 460 yards of total offense, including 316 through the air. Johnson had another huge game, hauling in eight passes for 177 yards and a touchdown. Grimes, in his first start, finished the game 14-for-30 for 316 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Pitts finished the game with two catches for 60 yards and a touchdown, while Ratay had 48 rushing yards and three touchdowns, all on the ground. Sophomore Chris Robinson led the team in rushing with 78 on 14 carries. The Panthers got a huge game from Schoen, who finished with 298 yards and one touchdown on 27 carries. Defensively, Williams had a career day with six tackles, one forced fumble, one interception and his 83 yard kick return touchdown. Junior Luther Ware had a game-high 15 tackles, the most by a Laker in a single game since 2010. Junior Charles Hill collected 13 tackles with two for loss. Freshman Brad Horling had another double-digit tackle game, contributing 10 stops with a half tackle for loss and a fumble recovery. The Lakers move to 4-0 on the season with a 2-0 mark in the GLIAC, while Ohio Dominican falls to 2-2 with a 1-2 record in the conference. TEAM STATISTICS

Sophomore running back Ben Hutchins caught a swing pass for a 31-yard completion and Grimes hit Pitts with a 22-yard scoring pass with 3:36 left in the first half. Michigan Tech put together its only productive drive of the first half, a 7-play, 76-yard drive that resulted in a touchdown, however, GVSU went 44 yards in seven plays, concluding with a 37-yard field goal by Iaderosa with no time left on the clock for a 37-7 halftime lead. The Laker defense forced a punt on the Huskies' opening possession of the second half and the Laker offense picked up where it left off in the first half. GVSU drove 77 yards in seven plays. Grimes hit Johnson with a 30-yard pass and Potts with a 24-yard pass and catch. Sophomore RB Ben Hutchins scored the first of his two third quarter TDs, the first coving 10 yards. MTU answered with an 11-play, 83 yard scoring drive, but the Lakers answered with its sixth straigh scoring drive. GVSU drove 73 yards in five plays for a score. Grims hit Johns with a 51-yard completion and Hutchins finished the drive with a 2-yard TD run. Michigan Tech rallied for 23 fourth quarter points, but a Grimes to Potts 41 yard completion on third-and-sixth seeled the win for the Lakers. "I am really proud of the way we started," said head coach Matt Mitchell. "Our defense came out and really executed the game plan, while our offense continued to be efficient." The Laker defense limited Michigan Tech to 34 yards on 22 carries, including just 114 total yards in the first 30 minutes. GVSU tallied 388 total yards on 42 plays. The Laker offense finished with a season-high 636 todal yards, including 411 through the air and 225 on the ground. Grimes completed 17-of-27 passes for 411 yards and four TDs in his second collegiate start. Spencer rushed 28 times for 136 yards and one TD, while Hutchins added 43 yards and two TDs on 11 carries. "This was a nice win against a ranked opponent on the road," added Mitchell. "Michigan Tech is going to win a lot of games and we feel good about getting a GLIAC road. However, we have a lot work to do with a talented Ferris State coming to Lubbers Stadium next Saturday." Charles Johnson continued his stellar play, hauling in seven receptions for 165 yards and three TDs. Sophomore WR Brandan Green caught four passes for 71 yards and rushed five times for 32 yards. Potts caught three passes for 90 yards, while Pitts hauled in two passes for 54 yards and a TD. Defensively, Williams tallied a team-high nine tackles, while junior Charles Hill and freshman Brad Horling added six stops each.

Allendale, Mich. - The third-ranked Grand Valley State football team had its 12-game winning streak snapped on Saturday (Oct. 6), falling to Ferris State in the Anchor-Bone Classic by a final score of 40-24. GVSU falls to 5-1 on the season with a 4-1 record in the GLIAC, while Ferris State moves to 4-2 overall and 3-2 in the conference. The Lakers got out of the gates quickly, scoring the first points of the game on a 34-yard touchdown pass from sophomore QB Isiah Grimes to junior WR Brandan Green with 8:38 to play in the first quarter. This followed a fumble by the Bulldogs by Torico Searcy that was forced and recovered by junior LB Charles Hill at the Laker 45 yard line. On the ensuing kickoff, sophomore Ben Hutchins forced a fumble, again by Searcy, and redshirt freshman Kirk Spencer recovered the fumble at the Ferris State 25 yard line. Grimes capped the drive with a four-yard touchdown run on a bootleg to the right to put the Lakers up 14-0. After a three-and-out by the Bulldogs, GVSU got three more on a 22-yard field goal from sophomore Marco Iaderosa to go up 17-0. Ferris State answered with 17 straight points to tie the game up, but the Lakers responded with a 26-yard touchdown run by Spencer to make it a 24-17 game. The Bulldogs were able to get a 32-yard field goal from Austin Kantola near the end of the half, as the Lakers went in to halftime leading 24-20. Ferris State took the lead on its first play from scrimmage in the second half with a 70-yard touchdown run to go up 27-24, a lead that wouldn't be relinquished. The Bulldogs added two more touchdown runs later in the third quarter to make it 40-24 and neither team could score in the fourth. Spencer finished the game with 83 yards and a touchdown on eight carries (10.4 ypc), while sophomore Michael Ratay had 63 yards rushing on 15 carries, part of 175 rushing yards as a team by the Lakers. Green caught five passes for 77 yards and a touchdown, while Ratay contributed 49 yards on three catches. Defensively, Hill had a season-high 17 tackles, including 2.5 for loss (-6 yards), one forced fumble and one recovery. Redshirt freshman Brad Horling had 14 tackles, while junior Erik Thompson had 10 tackles, 0.5 for loss. Thompson also had 155 kick return yards on six returns (25.8 ypr). TEAM STATISTICS

Marquette, Mich. - Grand Valley State dropped a 38-10 decision at Northern Michigan Saturday afternoon. GVSU falls to 5-2 overall and 4-2 in GLIAC action. Northern Michigan went up 7-0 with a 7-play, 56-yard scoring drive on its first possession following a GVSU three-andout. Casey Cotta went the final 11 yards for the score. Laker defensive end Lucas Kozuch recovered a fumbled punt return by Northern Michigan on the Wildcat 21 yard line and Marco Iaderosa kicked a 37-yard field goal to get the Lakers on the scoreboard. Junior LB Luther Ware forced a fumble on the GVSU 11 yard line that safety Dana Dixon recovered to thwart a Wildcat scoring opportunity. Brandon Beitzel hit Charles Johnson with a 30-yard completion on first down to get GVSU off its goal line. The GVSU offense stalled, but a Chris Picano 51-yard punt pinned Northern Michigan on its own 2-yard line. However, the Wildcats hit an 82-yard pass to the Laker 9-yard line and scored one play later as QB Cody Scepaniak hit Kelvin Stewart with a 9-yard TD pass. The Laker defense forced a punt and took over on its own 30 yard line early in the second quarter. Kirk Spencer accounted for 69 rushing yards on the drive, highlighted by a 33-yard scamper. Spencer added runs of 14 and 11 yards on the drive. Junior RB Hersey Jackson, playing for the first time in 2012, scored from 1-yard out and Iaderosa added the PAT to pull the Lakers within a 14-10 score. NMU's Rocky Belmonte kicked a 58-yard field goal with 15 seconds left in the first half to give the Wildcats a 17-10 lead heading into the lockerroom. Trailing 17-10, Grand Valley State appeared to be getting the ball back in good field position, but a phantom running into the kicker call gave the Wildcats a first down midway through the third quarter. The Wildcats then drove for a TD that upped the lead to 24-10. Northern Michigan added two fourth quarter touchdowns for the final margin. Kirk Spencer rushed for 145 yards on 13 carries, while Brandon Beitzel, starting the first game of his career for the injured Isiah Grimes, completed 9-of-24 passes for 78 yards. Luther Ware led the defense with 11 tackles, while Charles Hill added 10 stops. NM 23 11 8 4 42 265 21 244 218 27 18 1 69 462 6.7 3-2 4-31 3-96 32.0 2-3 7-291 4-42 0-0 0 32:13 6-11 0-1 2-7

Allendale, Mich. - The 24th-ranked Grand Valley State football team got back on the winning track on Saturday (Oct. 20), taking down Northwood 42-28 on homecoming in front of 12,098 fans at Lubbers Stadium. The Lakers are now 6-2 on the year with a 5-2 GLIAC record, while Northwood falls to 4-4 with a 3-4 mark in the conference. The game began with Northwood getting on the board first. After a fumble by the Lakers on their opening drive, Northwood took it in from 17 yards out to grab an early 7-0 lead with 10:45 to play in the first quarter. GVSU took control after that, getting a 26-yard touchdown run from junior Hersey Jackson to make it 7-7 only four minutes later. The Laker defense then forced a three-and-out from the Timberwolves and senior Israel Woolfork blocked a punt, then after it was picked up by the punter and ran for 18 yards, Woolfork made the tackle just before the first down line to give the Lakers the ball at the Northwood 38 yard line. On the first play of the drive, sophomore Isiah Grimes found a wide open Brandan Green with a 38-yard touchdown pass to take a 14-7 lead. After both teams exchanged two punts each, the Lakers put together an 11 play, 75-yard drive that included four straight runs from Jackson to end the scoring drive with a two-yard plunge that made it a 21-7 game with 6:07 to play in the first half. GVSU threatened to take a commanding lead as it appeared the Lakers were on another scoring drive, but a fumble inside the Northwood red zone led to a 53-yard return by the Timberwolves back in to Laker territory. Northwood capped off the drive with a one-yard touchdown pass to make it 21-14, the first pass that Northwood had completed against GVSU since 2010. The Lakers got those points back quickly in the second half, going the distance on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter with a screen pass to senior Charles Johnson that went 60 yards for the touchdown, pushing the lead back out to 28-14. After a fourth down stop on Northwood's ensuing drive, the Lakers got in to the end zone again, this time it was sophomore Keontre' Miskel who Grimes found on a crossing route with nobody in sight from 30 yards out to make it a 35-14 advantage with 9:03 to play in the third. After another Northwood three-and-out, the Timberwolves forced another Laker fumble, but the ensuine Northwood drive was thwarted with an interception by redshirt freshman Jack Sauber on the GVSU 17 yard line. The Lakers capitalized on the turnover, marching 83 yards down the field and capping it off with a four-yard slant route to Johnson for his second touchdown of the game to make it a 42-14 score with 13:21 to play in the game. Northwood got in the end zone two more times, once on a 40-yard touchdown pass and once on a returned block field goal attempt, but GVSU would ultimately close out the 42-28 victory. The Lakers rolled up 579 yards of total offense while holding Northwood to only 271 yards. Grimes led the offense in his return from injury, completing 12 of 19 passes for 301 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. Redshirt freshman Kirk Spencer led the ground game with 129 yards rushing on 15 carries, while Jackson contributed 68 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson had his fifth 100-yard receiving game and fourth multi-touchdown game as he caught four passes for 105 yards and two scores. Junior Luther Ware was a force on defense, making 11 tackles and tallying five tackles for loss (-15 yards) and 2.5 sacks (-9 yards). Sophomore Matt Judon, in his return from injury, had eight tackles with two tackles for loss (-6 yards) and one sack (-3 yards) to go along with a quarterback hurry. Sauber finished with eight tackles, two tackles for loss (-3 yards), half a sack (-1 yard) and his first career interception. TEAM STATISTICS

Hillsdale, Mich. - #23 Grand Valley State picked up a key GLIAC road win Saturday afternoon at #24 Hillsdale College, defeating the Chargers by a 42-23 margin. The Lakers are now 7-2 overall and 6-2 in GLIAC action, while Hillsdale falls to 6-3 overall and 6-2 in GLIAC action. Hillsdale College started strong, taking the opening kickoff 75 yards in 14 plays for a touchdown. QB Anthony Mifsud hit TE Kegan Smith with a 26-yard TD pass for the score, but the PAT was wide left. The drive took 6:39 off the clock. Grand Valley State took the ball on its opening possession inside the Hillsdale 1-yard line, but a fumble by TE Jaime Potts, when he appeared to be down, was recovered by the Chargers in the end zone for a touchback. However, the Laker defense forced a three-and-out and the offense took over on its own 44-yard line. The Lakers moved quickly down the field and freshman RB Kirk Spencer finished the drive with a 21-yard TD run. Marco Iaderosa added the PAT for a 7-6 GVSU lead. "Our defense came up with a key stop after we fumbled the ball on our opening possession and the offense kept rolling to get us a lead," said third-year coach Matt Mitchell. Following a Hillsdale punt midway through the second quarter, Spencer concluded a 10-play, 67-drive with a 4-yard TD run. Iaderosa added his second PAT of the day to give GVSU a 14-6 lead. Hillsdale College answered with a 9-play, 74-yard scoring drive that culminated with Collin McGreevy 19-yard field goal. Hillsdale had a first-and-goal, but the Laker defense forced the field goal, keyed by a tackle for loss by freshman safety Brad Horling. "That was a big stop by our defense and we left our offense enough time to put together a scoring drive before the end of the first half," added Mitchell. The Lakers took over on their own 25-yard line with 1:45 left in the opening half, but Grimes put together an 8-play, 75yard scoring drive that took just 1:20 off the clock. He hit Charles Johnson with a 22-yard pass on third down and then hit senior WR Israel Woolfork with a key 29-yard pass and catch. Grimes then hit freshman TE Jamie Potts with back-to-back passes, the second covering 10-yards for a GVSU TD. Iaderosa hit his third PAT of the half to up the Laker lead to 21-9. The Laker offense opened the second half with an impressive 6-play, 76-yard scoring drive. The big play of the drive came when Grimes hit Johnson with a 42-yard pass. Grimes then took it the final four yards on a bootleg and after Iaderosa's PAT GVSU led 28-9. Sophomore safety Dana Dixon picked off a Mifsud pass in the end zone to end a Hillsdale drive and GVSU took over on its own 20 yard line. GVSU drove 80 yards in 5 plays, including a 22-yard run by Ratay and a 40-yard pass and catch from Grimes to Potts. Grimes concluded the drive with 6-yard TD pass to TE Joe Wirth to up the Laker lead to 35-9. The GVSU defense continued to shine as safety Erik Thompson forced a fumble that LB Luther Ware picked out of the air and returned 10 yards. GVSU drove 42 yards in seven plays for a TD. Ratay concluded the drive with a 9-yard TD run and Iaderosa added the PAT for 42-9 GVSU lead. Hillsdale added two late scores for the final margin. GVSU rolled 546 yards of total offense on the day, including a balanced attack of 287 rushing yards and 259 passing yards. Ratay rushed for 110 yards and a TD on 16 carriers, while Spencer rushed for 100 yards and two TDs on 15 carries. Grimes completed 16-of-21 passes for 259 yards and two TDs. C. Johnson hauled in six passes for 97 yards, while Potts caught four passes for 85 yards. Woolford pulled down three passes for 51 yards. Defensively, Brad Horling tallied a team-high 14 tackles and two tackles for loss (-5) for the Lakers. Erik Thompson chipped in 10 stops and forced a fumble.

Allendale, Mich. - The 19th-ranked Grand Valley State football team used a potent rushing attack to control Wayne State on Saturday (Nov. 3) evening at Lubbers Stadium, notching a 35-13 victory in front of 8,977 fans. The victory moves the Lakers to 8-2 overall with a 7-2 mark in the GLIAC and in sole possession of first place in the GLIAC North. Wayne State falls to 5-4 both overall and in the conference. After GVSU went three-and-out to begin the game, the Warriors got on the board with a 51-yard field goal from Stefan Terleckyj to go up 3-0. Beyond that, however, the Lakers took control of the game. On the ensuing drive, sophomore Michael Ratay walked in for a three-yard touchdown run to put GVSU up 7-3 with 7:06 to play in the opening stanza. After a Wayne State punt on the next drive, a screen pass was intercepted by the Warrior defensive line in GVSU territory, but the Laker defense held strong, forcing another field goal, this time from 46 yards out, to hold the lead at 7-6. The Lakers again responded, and again it was a three-yard touchdown run from Ratay that put the Lakers up 14-6 just two plays in to the second quarter. The biggest play of the game, and the coming out party for redshirt freshman Kirk Spencer on this day, was on GVSU's next drive, when Spencer scampered 53 yards nearly untouched for the touchdown to go up 21-6 with 6:33 to play in the first half. The Lakers threatened to score again before the half was out on their next drive, but another Warrior interception, this time in the endzone, thwarted the opportunity as GVSU went in to the locker room up 21-6. Spencer had 138 rushing yards at the half, part of 197 first-half rushing yards for the team. The rushing defense for the Lakers was stout, holding Wayne State to 11 yards rushing on 10 attempts in the opening half. On the first drive of the second half for GVSU, starting at its own 33-yard line, the Lakers got a 57-yard run from Spencer and then a 10-yard slant route from senior Charles Johnson that resulted in his first of two touchdown catches on the day, putting the Lakers up 28-6. After the two squads exchanged punts on their next drives, Wayne State finally got in the endzone at the end of a 17play, 83-yard drive that ate up 7:06 off the clock to make it a 28-13 with under a minute left to play in the third quarter. The scoring in the game was capped off with a seven-yard touchdown pass from sophomore Isiah Grimes to Johnson with 1:29 to play in the game, making it a 35-13 margin that the Lakers would hold on to. Spencer's day on the ground was nearly record-breaking, as his 228 rushing yards is the fourth-best single game total in school history and the most for a Laker since 2009. Spencer also had a touchdown, all on 17 carries, a 13.4 yards per carry average. Ratay finished with a big day as well on the ground, going for 118 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. As a team, the Lakers had 319 yards, the most since last season's 317 in the season finale against Saginaw Valley State. It is the second week in a row that both Spencer and Ratay have surpassed the century mark. Both accomplished the feat against Hillsdale last weekend, when Ratay went for 114 and Spencer had 100. Grimes finished the game 15-for-23 passing for 204 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. 10 of those completions, 112 of the yards and both touchdowns went to Johnson with his sixth 100-yard receiving game of the season. Defensively, sophomore Jack Sauber posted a career-high 10 tackles, while junior Charles Hill had a big day. Hill tallied 10 tackles as well, 2.5 for loss including 1.5 sacks and two quarterback hurries. Senior Jarrod Cox, on senior night, collected nine tackles, 1.5 for loss, while sophomore Bobby Wunderlich and juniors Luther Ware and Lucas Kozuch each had a sack. TEAM STATISTICS

LUBBERS 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. 2013 will bring much of the same. The Lakers led the nation in attendance for the second consecutive year, averaging 12.034 fans per game in 2012. The field was lowered by eight feet and the track surrounding the field was removed prior to the 2012 campaign. Four rows of seats were installed and wrap around the field to accentuate the horseshoe that added about 2,000 seats. A grass slope also was also installed on the north side of the field underneath the video board, which will move the band to the southeast corner of the stadium. The finished project, which includes the installation of an artificial turf playing surface, will bring the capacity up to about 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, while a new stadium sound system has been installed on top of the scoreboard. A Daktronics scoreboard with a ProStar video display board was added for the 2005 season. Two seating sections were added to each end of the west side stands to accomadate the overflow crowds that have been a part of Lubbers Stadium since 2001. The Lakers moved all of their football operations into the GVSU Football Center and the Rob Odejewski Weight Room in 2002. The Football Center includes a stateof-the-art locker room, equipment room, the Todd Jager training room and meeting rooms. The design doubled the size of the former building in the north end zone by adding

LUBBERS STADIUM over 4,000 square feet (2,000 sqaure feet on each side). Permanent lighting, a new playing surface, and six executive suites located on each side of the press box are additions added in the last seven years. The student seating area, which moved to south endzone in 1998, has created unmatched excitment among the student body. The student seating section has increased in capacity from 3,300 with the new bleachers. The Laker student seating section is routinely filled to capacity with the overflow moving into every open area available. The Lakers set a Lubbers Stadium and GLIAC single-game on-campus 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 2008 as 64,511 fans watched five Laker home games at Lubbers Stadium for an average of 12,902 per game. The Lakers ranked second in total attendance (73,639) and regular season average (12,902) among DII schools for the season. Three of the Lakers’ top 10 all-time single-game crowds and four of the top 16 came during the 2008 regular season. GVSU played before crowds of 14,612 (Ferris State), 14,161 (Hillsdale), 13,302 (Indianapolis), 12,405 (Michigan Tech) and 10,132 (Ashland) in five regular season dates. Grand Valley State has recorded sellouts in 41-ofthe-last-46 regular season games since 2004 and 52-of-57 since 2002. 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

STORIED TRADITION
Grand Valley State was one of only a handful of colleges and universities which began playing football in the 1970’s. According to NCAA records, the Lakers have been one of the most successful of all collegiate squads to take the field during that time period. Laker football has been a key element of Grand Valley’s rise from a small college to a regional university. President Arend D. Lubbers began the push for a team when he arrived in 1969. A year later, a Laker junior varsity team took the field. Then, in the fall of 1971, the Lakers kicked off their first varsity season. “It was clear that Grand Valley was changing from a commuter college, to a residential school in need of activities such as music, drama, and athletics,” Lubbers recalled. “Football gave us the anchor, something you could build your weekend around.” The Origin of the Program Lubbers came to Grand Valley from Central College in Pella, Iowa, which had a successful football tradition. He hired Zeeland native Ron Schipper, who had been at Central for 33 years, played in three national finals, and won one national championship. “I was used to success at Central College, so when we started at Grand Valley, I wanted to have a successful program instead of throwing the ball out and saying, ‘O.K. boys, it doesn’t matter whether we win or not.’” But despite Lubbers’ success at Central College, it took almost nine years before Grand Valley had the total package.
The First Varsity Team With blessing from the Board of Control, GV launched its football program to play a junior varsity schedule in 1970 and became varsity in 1971. On March 24, 1970, Lubbers, along with athletic director Charles H. Irwin, announced the hiring of Robert “Rip” Collins, a successful high school coach at Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills. Success didn’t come quickly for the Lakers, and it took almost three years to win a football game. Collins was unable to get the program off to a successful start after going 0-13 and being outscored 534-58 in 1971 and 1972. Harkema Begins the Tradition E. James Harkema took over as head coach in January of 1973, coming to GV from Northern Illinois where he was an offensive backfield coach.
Also awaiting Harkema was a brand new football field constructed in 1972 which featured the first “prescription athletic turf” (PAT) football playing surface in the country. It was ironic that Harkema opened the 1973 campaign against his alma mater Kalamazoo College, where he won 10 varsity letters and led the Hornets to six MIAA championships. John Mahan rushed 26 times for 158 yards and Steve Brems added 122 more to lead GV to its first football victory in its season opener at home, a 27-14 win over Kalamazoo. Defensive tackle Bryce Berth and offensive guard Tom Tefft were named the offensive and defensive players of the game. To prove it was not fluke, the Lakers did it again the following week with Mahan rushing for 147 yards and Brems adding 138 as GV defeated Chicago Circle 40-8 in a night game played at Soldier Field in Chicago. Grand Valley outscored opponents 259-120 and posted their first winning season. 1973 marked the start of the great football tradition at Grand Valley, and during the next 10 years under Harkema they would post a 68-29-1 record, win three Great Lakes Conference football championships and make one trip to the NAIA playoffs. Also during that period, a number of Lakers would begin careers in professional football. Jim Schaap and Tom Tefft, 1971-73, were the first Lakers to sign professional football contracts when they signed with the Detroit Wheels of the World Football League in 1974, setting the stage for a number of GV football alums to follow into the National Football League during that period. They include Gary Evans 1975-77 (New York Jets), Ron Essink 1976-79 (Seattle Seahawks), Ron Rubick 1978-81 (Detroit Lions), Steve Michuta 1979-81 (Cleveland Browns), and Jeff Chadwick 1980-82 (Detroit Lions). Many Laker followers feel that the 1975 team, with a 7-2-1 record, may have set the standards for many years to come. After dropping a hard fought 15-6 contest to Wayne State, which also included the loss of their quarterback Scott VanDyken for the season, the Lakers bounced back to shutout Ferris State, 38-0, for their first win over the Bulldogs, defeat Saginaw Valley and Hillsdale, tie Northwood, and lose on a trick play to Northern Michigan, 2117. 1976 was the year Grand Valley would receive national attention in more ways than one. It all started at Michigan Tech when Roger McCoy was credited with a 39-yard field goal although the ball never cleared the crossbar. Instead, the ball hit a public address wire some 50 feet in the air and the ball dropped straight down in front of the goal posts. A lengthy deliberation following was dominated by Michigan Tech coach Jim Kapp, who brought the ground rule to the attention of the officials, that if that ball should hit the wire in flight, the down should be replayed. Kapp’s appeal was denied on the basis that he forgot to tell Grand Valley or the officials before the start of the game that the rule existed, and because the field goal was allowed, the Lakers walked away with a 10-8 victory. McCoy had set a GVSU record with a 60-yard field goal the previous week against Grand Rapids JC at Houseman Field. The Lakers get on the Map The game which put Grand Valley on the map was the season finale against Northern Michigan. The Wildcats came into Allendale as defending champions, boasting an 18-game winning streak, ranked No. 1 in Division II and fresh off an 82-7 whipping of Nebraska-Omaha.

ABC television sent a crew to feature Northern Michigan, but it was the Lakers, playing 21 seniors who built up a 24-0 lead and went on to shock the Wildcats 31-14 before the then largest crowd in GV history at the time.
Reflections of that game even hit the state legislature, when the Representative Dominic Jacobetti of Neguanee vowed he would eat a pasties’ box if Northern were to lose. Although humbled, Jacobetti was true to his word, and ate a piece of cake looking like a pasties’ box that was furnished by Grand Valley president Don Lubbers. 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.
STORIED TRADITION
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 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 junior defensive back Lucius Hawkins made the play of the game. Hawkins forced a fumble by the Sioux QB that he in turn picked
up and raced 59 yards to the North Dakota 20-yard line. All-American Michael Tennessee scored three plays later from three yards out to give GVSU a 10-0 lead. GVSU led 10-3 in the closing minutes as North Dakota was driving. Senior linebacker Mike Hoad would have none of that and picked off a pass on the Laker 10 to preserve the win and give GVSU back-to-back NCAA DII National Championships. The 2003 GVSU senior class etched their names in the record books by becoming just the second team (North Alabama) in NCAA DII history to make three consecutive trips to the title game. The Laker seniors were 47-2 in their final 49 games and tallied a four-year GLIAC record of 34-4.
Chuck Martin Takes Over The Reins Of Laker Football The 2004 season opened the era of a new mentor as Brian Kelly left following the 2003 season to take the head coach job at Central Michigan. Enter Chuck Martin as the fifth head coach in the history of the Laker football program. Martin won more games (10) than any of the four previous head coaches in their first year at the helm. In addition, the Lakers advanced to the NCAA DII Quarterfinals for the fourth straight year. The 2004 Laker seanior class concluded their careers with a 51-5 record, including two National 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
STORIED TRADITION
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. 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. By Don Thomas and Tim Nott

THIS IS GVSU FOOTBALL
LAKER TRADITION
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 149 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 All-Time

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.

THE STREAK
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 six quarterbacks since 1996 and if you go all the way back to 1985, 11 primary signal callers have lined up under center. Four of GVSU’s last five quarterbacks have been Harlon Hill Award finalists as the DII Player of the Year.
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 five winners of the award, with three of the five 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.
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 votin. Brad Iciek kept the tradition alive, being the first GVSU player to be named a Harlon Hill finalist for three consecutive seasons.
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. Grand Valley State’s 2013 squad will again have a number of players that could garner post-season honors. Matt Armstrong, Erik Thompson and Heath Parling are 2013 preseason all-america candidates.
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. In the last five seasons, the Lakers have played 13 extra home games in the postseason. Laker game days can’t be contained to just five 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 201213 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 the internet and on TV throughout the State of Michigan on Comcast Cable. GVSU has also been on the ESPN family of networks nine times in the last nine years.
FACILITIES
Arend D. Lubbers Stadium is the home of Laker football. The Lakers have played at Lubbers Stadium since 1972 and have amassed a .814 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 row 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.
Right next to the Football Center sits the Rob Odejewski weight room which was opened just before the 2002 season. In the fall of 2008, the university opened the doors to the Laker Turf Building which has already been honored with national awards for its construction. The football program uses the facility to avoid adverse weather conditions during practices and also during off-season workouts. It features a full six lane track and a 100 yard Field Turf surface.

THE GVSU FOOTBALL COACHING TREE
Miami (OH) is known as the Cradle of Coaches for producing successful football coaches. GVSU’s tradition has been building its own legacy and here are just some current big-name coaches with roots that extend back to Allendale.
When GVSU’s football coaches tell recruits they have a chance to receive some of best coaching in the country, they can point to former GVSU coaches to prove the claim. Grand Valley claims to have great football history and tradition, and that extends beyond just players who make it to the NFL. There are currently a number of coaches experiencing success on a big stage after playing their role in building one of the best football programs in NCAA Division II. Two of the biggest names at two of the biggest programs in the nation have ties back to GVSU. Brady Hoke was a part of the all-time winningest NCAA Division II program in 1983, and now he’s at the helm of the winningest NCAA Division I program at Michigan. Brian Kelly directed the Lakers to national championships in 2002 and 2003, and now he’s in charge of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as they look to return to national prominence. 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 Icie 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. These six former Laker gridiron greats have earned the right to be mentioned among the top players in Division II football. Finnerty became the second Laker quarterback to finish runner-up for the award this decade (Anes 2001). Tennessee was one of six nominees from the Northeast region to move on to the 24-member national ballot. Prior to 2002 when Anes won the Harlon Hill Award, his runner-up finish in 2001 was the Lakers’ highest finisher in the Hill Award voting. Anes garnered the most firstplace votes (52), but finished eight points (201) behind Dusty Bonner’s total of 209. Laker quarterback Jeff Fox finished third in the Harlon Hill Award voting in 1998 with 76 points and two first-place votes. Former Laker running back Eric Lynch finished tied for sixth in 1989 and eighth in 1990. Brad Iciek was a three-time nominee and a two-time finalist for the Harlon Hill Award. Iciek finished seventh in the voting as a sophomore in 2007 and was a Super Region 3 nominee in 2008. Iciek finished fifth in the final voting in 2009. Brad is one of two players in DII history to be a three-time nominee.

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

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).

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
184 • FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
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.

Florence, Ala. - Celebrating a national championship is starting to become routine for Grand Valley State football fans. More than 200 fans greeted the Lakers at the Grand Valley Fieldhouse Sunday, a day after the team won the school’s third NCAA Division II national championship in four years.
field. They made it to the 17 but Lamberson was chased out of bounds by Rory Steinbach and Justin Ulberg for a loss on third down with just one second remaining. Northwest Missouri used its last timeout to set up the final play. Robinson was wide open briefly, but the defense swarmed after the ball and kept him out of the end zone. “I was very confident,” Lamberson said Saturday night. “That’s been the motto of our team - our backs against the wall. And they’ve been against the wall all year. So when we got in that huddle, it was like last week. We were very confident that we were going to move the ball down the field and score.” Grand Valley, ranked No. 1 in national Division II polls, ended its season 13-0. “It’s been a great season,” said Joe Ballard of Chesaning, who helped make the game-ending tackle. “I’ll miss everyone here. I hope they go get it again next year.” Senior wide receiver Brandon Langston of Northville caught a 35-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Cullen Finnerty of Brighton with 4:25 left for the winning score. Finnerty moved Grand Valley 82 yards after taking over midway through the fourth quarter. He converted three thirddown plays on the drive. On third-and-four, he hit Langston on a slant pattern, and the receiver raced 35 yards for a score with 4:25 to play. “They gave me an inch of space and I got great blocks from Antoine Trent and Jeremy Cochrane,” Langston said. “I had the easy part, I just had to catch it and run down the field.”
Ballard said he had one thing on his mind on the game’s last play. “I just wanted to keep him (Robinson) out of the end zone,” the Lakers safety said. “That was the biggest thing. We wanted to make sure we made the tackle.”
Martin, the defensive coordinator of the first two championship teams, said each national title celebration has been enjoyable. “The journey is too far and still a lot of fun,” he said. It’s never old hat. If we go there again in the future, that moment would be just as special.” Northwest Missouri (11-4) was the first team to win four straight road playoff games, but lost for the first time in three championship game appearances. The Bearcats made the championship game with Raphael Robinson’s only touchdown catch of the season, a three-yarder with 23 seconds left to beat North Alabama the previous week, also at Braly Municipal Stadium.
Coach Mel Tjeerdsma practically assumed Robinson would score and his team would pull out another improbable win. “I felt like we were going to win the game until he didn’t get in the end zone,” Tjeerdsma said. “I didn’t have any doubts.”
After flying into Grand Rapids, coach Chuck Martin and his team were on campus for the first time since their 21-17 victory over Northwest Missouri State on Saturday in Florence, Ala. “We want to thank all our great fans and friends,” Martin said. “We have the best fans in Division II by far.”
The Lakers, who also won the national title in 2002 and 2003, were runners-up in 2001. Martin pointed out that all four games came down “to the last tick of the clock.”
On the last play of Saturday’s game, from the Lakers’ 22-yard line, Northwest Missouri quarterback Josh Lamberson rolled right and hit Raphael Robinson inside the 5 on the opposite side of the field. Robinson spun, but the Lakers brought him down four yards short to end the 81-yard drive and clinch the national championship.
“We wanted to make sure it wasn’t a boring game for you,” Martin joked to Lakers fans. “I told the team that we wanted to make sure that another game came down to the end. Obviously, we found a way to make that last play.” Lamberson completed five consecutive passes to move the Bearcats down-

Allendale, Mich. - Sweet Home Alabama. Grand Valley State will be making its fifth NCAA DII National Championship game appearance in the last six years after claiming an impressive 49-30 victory over Delta State Sunday night at Lubbers Stadium in Allendale. GVSU (14-0) will play Northwest Missouri State (14-0) in the National Championship game Saturday (Dec. 16) in Florence, Alabama. The game is a rematch of the 2005 final in which GVSU claimed a 21-17 victory in the title game. The Laker offense started quickly following a Delta State punt down to the GVSU 11 yard line. RB Astin Martin carried the ball for 19 yards on the first play, followed by a 40-yard completion from Cullen Finnerty to WR Eric Fowler. Finnerty then found WR Terry Mitchell quarantined in the corner of the endzone for a 30-yard TD reception. The drive covered 89 yards in three plays and took just 45 ticks off the clock. Delta State drove 63 yards in nine plays late in the first quarter, but failed to score when Sid Halliday's 35-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left. The Lakers wasted little time while looking for another score. Finnerty hit Fowler with a 53-yard pass and catch on the first play, then found Mitchell again, this time all alone in the left corner of the endzone on the very next play for a 27yard TD reception. The drive took 35 seconds and covered 80 yards in two plays. Delta State regrouped and took advantage of a GVSU fumble for its first points of the game. Finnerty was sacked and fumbled the ball on his own 8-yard line. Delta State QB Scott Eyster hit WR Eric Marshall on the second play for a 7yard TD reception. Delta State's special teams then took advantage of another Laker miscue. The Statesmen blocked a Laker punt and Chad Schroeder recovered it the endzone for another Statesmen score to tie the game at 14-14.
Mark Catlin sparked the Lakers, returning the kickoff 44 yards to the 49. Astin Martin toted the ball for 16 yards on the first play and Finnerty found Fowler again, this one covering 21 yards. Preston Garris carried the ball for a 4-yard run before Finnerty hit Antione Trent with a 10-yard TD pass. The Laker defense made a key play on DSU's next possession as LB Kirk Carruth picked off a Scott Eyster pass at Delta State 48. Following a Laker penalty and 22-yard rush by Finnerty, GVSU faced a 4th-and-1 on the Delta State 39. Chuck Martin rolled the dice and went for it on fourth down. Finnerty looked for Fowler down the right sideline, but a DSU defender had it hit off his pads into the hands of Fowler for a 35-yard completion. Finnerty found Trent over the middle and GVSU led 28-14 at the half. Leading 28-14, the Laker offense made a statment with its opening drive of the second half. Finnerty guided GVSU on a 7-play, 67-yard scoring drive that took 3:11 off the clock. Finnerty hit freshman receiver Blake Smolen with a short pass that Smolen took the final 8 yards for a score and a 35-14 Laker lead. GVSU's special teams had its second punt blocked, this one went out of the endzone for a safety and Delta State trailed 35-16. However, the quick strike Laker offense struck again, this drive covering 59-yards in three plays. Finnerty completed passes of 29 yards to Mitchell and 22 yards to Fowler for a TD and a 42-16 GVSU lead. Delta State's Scott Eyster hit WR Eric Marshall with a 65-yard TD pass on its next possession, but Finnerty once again drove the Lakers to paydirt. RB Astin Martin finished the 5-play, 56-yard scoring drive with a 3-yard TD run. Eyster finished the Statesmen scoring when he capped off a 13-play, 80-yard drive with a 7-yard TD pass to Robert Davis. Finnerty led the offense, completing 16-of-30 passes for 365 yards and six TDs. The six TDs equelled his career-high he set in the regular season finale at Northern Michigan. WR Eric Fowler hauled in seven receptions for a career-high 218 yards and one TD, while Terry Mitchell caught four passes for 97 yards and two TDs. Antion Trent cuaght three passes for 20 yards and two TDs, while Blacke Smolen hauled in two passes for 30 yards and a TD. RB Astin Martin rushed for 99 yards and a TD on 16 carries. Dan Skuta led the Laker defense with 11 tackles and a TFL (-2). Buster Larkins, Anthony Adams and Brandon Carr each chipped in six tackles. GVSU recorded nine tackles for loss (-37) and four QB sacks (-24). Scott Eyster completed 31-of-48 passes for 324 yards and three TDs. Eyster passed for 155 yards in the first three quarters, and 169 yards in the fourth when the outcome of the game had already been decided. WR Robert Davis caught 10 passes for 126 yards, while Eric Marshall hauled in five passes for 100 yards. GVSU held Delta State to just 34 rushing yards.

Florence, AL. - Grand Valley State claimed its fourth NCAA DII National Championship in the last five years Saturday afternoon at Braly Municipal Stadium with its 17-14 victory over Northwest Missouri State in the title game. GVSU finished the year 15-0, becoming just the second team in NCAA DII history to go 15-0 in a season. Cullen Finnerty's 4-yard TD run with 13:06 left in the game proved to be the game-winner and he engineered a 7-play, 19-yard drive that ran out the clock for the victory in the fourth quarter. Finnerty carried the ball three times for 12 yards and completed two passes for nine yards on the closing drive. Finnerty completed a 4-yard pass to Eric Fowler on thirdand-two to seal the win. Finnerty's game-winning drive started after the Laker defense forced a three-and-out deep in NW Missouri State territory. The Bearcats were pinned deep in their own territory after Bill Brechin downed a Justin Trumble punt at the NWMST 2-yard line. Kyle Johnson's punt went out of bounds at the NWMST 36-yard line to give the Lakers good field position and set up the game winning drive. Astin Martin started the drive with a 5-yard carry and Finnerty then completed a 17-yard pass to Antion Trent. Finnerty carried the ball 4-yards to the Bearcat 10 and Martin then toted the ball to the three before Finnerty capped the drive with his TD run. "These guys just kept playing for 60 minutes and found a way to win another game," said GVSU head coach Chuck Martin. The Laker defense came up big late in the game when Matt Beaty forced a fumble that Bill Brechin recovered at the Laker 21 with 3:15 left in the game. GVSU picked up two first downs and ran out the clock. Junior corner Bill Brechin kept the Lakers in the game in the first quarter. He picked off a pass in the endzone on NW Missouri's first possession, then picked off another pass at the Laker seven to foil another drive. "Bill Brechin made four game changing plays in the game and those two first quarter interceptions kept us in the game," said GVSU head coach Chuck Martin. Grand Valley State got on the board first early in the second quarter. Todd Carter hit a 30-yard field goal after Finnerty drove the Lakers 67yards in 11 plays. The Bearcats answered quickly, driving 80-yards in 8-plays. Kendall Wright hit Rafael Robinson with a 26-yard halfback pass to give NW Missouri its first lead. The lead was shortlived as Finnerty drove GVSU 70-yards in 11plays for a score. Finnerty found Fowler all alone in the left corner of the endzone for a 2-yard TD pass. Finnerty rushed for 33 yards on the drive and completed three passes for 37 yards. Todd Carter added the PAT for a 10-7 Laker lead. NW Missouri State appeared to be going in for a score late in the first half, but junior corner Brandon Carr picked off the Lakers' third pass of the first half when he stepped in front of a Josh Mathews pass at the goal line with 2:11 left in the second quarter. GVSU gave the Bearcats the ball deep in its own end following a low snap that Justin Trumble went down to field and put his knee down. NWMST needed five plays to go 25 yards for the score and a 14-10 lead. Cullen Finnerty completed 15-of-33 passes for 225 yards and rushed for 115 yards on 22 carries for 340 yards of total offense. Finnerty passed for one TD and ran for another. Finnerty became the first QB in NCAA DII Championship game history to pass for over 200 yards (225 passing) and rush for over 100 (115). Astin Martin rushed for 40 yards on 12 carries. Eric Fowler caught seven passes for 96 yards, despite missing almost all of the second half with a hamstring injury. Terry Mitchell caught two passes for 55 yards. John Mathews added two receptions for 24 yards, Sean Stevens one for 19 yards and Preston Garris one for 17 yards. Matt Beaty led the defense with a season-high 12 tackles, while senior Mike McFadden chipped in seven stops. Dan Skuta added seven stops and Samad Cain six.

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.

Tim W. Selgo enters his 18th year as athletic director at Grand Valley State. He was appointed athletic director on February 12, 1996 and has put his own stamp of leadership on Laker athletics. A promoter of a well-rounded athletic department, Selgo has been a key figure in the Lakers' rise to the top of Division II athletics. Grand Valley State has finished among the top two in the Learfield Sports/NACDA Directors’ Cup standings for 12 consecutive years, including eight straight titles (2003-04 to 2010-11). The prestigious award is presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), Learfield Sports and the USA TODAY to the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. In addition, GVSU has won 15 straight Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Presidents' Cup titles as the top athletic program in the 16-team GLIAC. The Lakers' 20 all-time Presidents' Cup titles top all GLIAC institutions. Grand Valley State, which won 45 GLIAC titles prior to Selgo's arrival, has won 139 GLIAC titles since Selgo was appointed Athletic Director in 1996.

Selgo has been the key figure in the development of the athletic facilities and programs at Grand Valley State. Lubbers Stadium was renovated during the summer of 2011, adding seats to increase capacity to 10,550, as well as installing a new Fieldturf artificial surface. A new outdoor track & field/lacrosse stadium was opened in the fall of 2011, while the Kelly Family Sports Center, which opened for all university activities in August 2008 was spearheaded by Selgo. The KFCS allows GVSU academic classes and athletic teams the opportunity to work inside in inclement weather. The 137,662 square foot facility has a 100 x 55-yard fieldturf surface, a six-lane track with nine sprint lanes and batting cages that drop from the ceiling. The Laker softball team began play on its new field in 2008 and the Laker baseball field added stadium seating behind home plate in 2010. GVSU expanded its football stadium seating capacity to 8,550, added executive suites and a new scoreboard with a ProStar video display board in 2002. The GVSU Football Center, located in the north end zone of Lubbers Stadium, has been expanded by more than 4,000 feet since Selgo's arrival. In addition, lights were installed at Lubbers Stadium and the Rob Odejewski Weight Room was built in honor of the late Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and Promotions. The baseball and soccer fields have added press boxes, storage space and concession areas. In addition, the fieldhouse locker room project, that enabled every varsity sport at Grand Valley State to have its own locker room, was spearheaded by Selgo. Prior to his arrival at Grand Valley State, Selgo was an Associate AD at the University of Toledo. While at Toledo Selgo was responsible for the day-to-day operations for Toledo's 10 women's and nine men's sports teams that competed at the Division I level in the Mid-American Conference. Selgo was instrumental in the marketing and promoting of all 19 sports that the Toledo athletic department sponsored. A native of Pettisville, Ohio, Selgo was inducted into the Toledo Athletic Hall of Fame in February of 2001. He was a standout basketball player at Toledo from 1977-80, earning four varsity letters. The Rockets posted a four-year record of 87-26 during Selgo's playing days on the hardwood. Selgo participated in two NCAA Midwest Regional Tournaments for Toledo.

In 1980, Selgo scored 18 points in Toledo's 94-91 loss to Florida State in a first-round NCAA Tournament game. Selgo was part of two MAC Championship teams (1978-79 and 1979-80) and was co-captain of the `79-80 squad. He earned Mid-American Conference All-Academic honors in 1978, 1979 and 1980 and was named Senior Scholar/Athlete-of-the-Year at Toledo in 1980.
