PREVIEW At no point since 2000 has an upcoming football season been so anticipated by those surrounding the Laker football program. Fresh in the mind of all associated with GVSU football is the final result of the 2010 campaign. A season-ending loss at Augustana in the second round of the NCAA DII playoffs did not sit well with the coaching staff and players. An energetic spring practice served as therapeutic resolve, but did not erase the memory of the long walk to the lockerroom in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Second year head coach Matt Mitchell welcomes back 48 letterwinners and 23 players that have started games the last three years at Grand Valley State. Another key in looking forward to the 2011 season is that Mitchell was able to keep his entire coaching staff together.

yards and two TDs, while running for 69 yards and three TDs on 10 carries in limited time under center as a redshirt freshman. Redshirt freshmen Taylor Copacia (6-4, 195), Brandon Beitzel (6-3, 223) and Isiah Grimes (6-6, 223) battled it out for the number two spot and each showed flashes of being able to handle the starting job. GVSU will have its pick of running backs in 2011, along with the opportunity to put different combinations on the field.

“We accomplished a great deal during our 15 spring practices and I felt our upper classmen showed a lot of leadership during our summer workouts. When you look back at the 2010 season as a whole we did some really good things, however, the sting of that last game lingers and I know the 2011 Laker football team is chomping at the bit to get back on the field,” said Mitchell.

“We obviously feel really good about our stable of running backs heading into the 2011 season. Our runnings backs give us the ability to have multiple combinations within our offense. The entire group is interchangeable and affords us to run our entire offense with any of them in the game,” added Mitchell.

The first order of business during spring practice was to find a quarterback and it did not take long for sophomore Heath Parling (6-2, QUARTeRbACkS 210) to solidify his spot at Player Class Heath Parling So. the top of the list.

Fellow senior Jovonne Augustus (6-6, 230) hauled in 28 catches for 590 yards and a team-high nine TDs. Junior Israel Woolfork (6-4, 210) and sophomore Brandan Green (5-9, 175) are expected to make significant contributions. The Lakers will also have the services of four receivers who redshirted in 2010. Junior transfer Charles Johnson (6-3, 205) from Eastern Kentucky

Game 2 September 11, 2010

Allendale, mich. - No. 1 ranked Grand Valley State claimed an instant classic 44-41 victory over No. 11 Hillsdale College Saturday night before a crowd of 11,637 at Lubbers Stadium. GVSU improves to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in GLIAC action, while Hillsdale falls to 1-1 and 0-1. GVSU will host Indianapolis next Saturday (Sept. 18), with kickoff set for 7 p.m. Grand Valley State senior quarterback Kyle McMahon drove the Lakers 53 yards in 1:01, converting a fourth-and-one pass to TE Tony Carreri, completing a key second down pass for 19 yards to Greg Gay and then finished drive with an 8 yard TD pass to junior WR Jovonne Augustus with 16 seconds left to give GVSU a 42-41 lead. McMahon then ran in the two-point conversion attempt for the 44-41 lead. Free safety Erik Thompson picked off one last attempt from Hillsdale QB Troy Weatherhead to preserve the win. The Lakers' last scoring drive put the finishing touches on a wild DII football game between two ranked opponents. Grand Valley State and Hillsdale combined for 85 points, 926 yards, 54 first downs and nearly identical rushing and passing totals. Hillsdale was able to stay the course with its ball control offensive game plan. The Chargers drove 78 yards in 10 plays and used 5:01 off the clock to take the early lead. Cam White scored on a 1 yard run and Colin McGreevy added the PAT. GVSU struck back quickly with its high-paced offense, driving 62 yards in seven plays for a touchdown. Senior QB Kyle McMahon scored the first of his three first-half rushing TDs and Jay Jandasek added the PAT. The drive took just 3:02 off the clock. Hillsdale's Joe Glendening put the finishing touches on a 12-play, 73-yard drive that took 6:38 off the clock with a 1 yard TD run to give the Chargers a short lived 14-7 lead. McMahon directed a 6-play, 72-yard drive and scored on a 10 yard run to tie the game 14-14 with 12:52 left in the second quarter. The Laker defense was able to get a stop and forced a 44 yard field goal attempt that was short and wide left. GVSU then drove 73 yards in nine plays as McMahon hit paydirt with a 12 yard TD run and Jandasek hit his third PAT of the night to give the Lakers a 21-14 lead at the half. GVSU was looking to put some distance between themselves and the Chargers with the opening drive of the second half, but McMahon was picked off by Kyle Carson on the second play of the second half. Hillsdale drove 22 yards in three plays as QB Troy Weatherhead hit Mike Blanchard with an 8 yard TD pass to knot the score at 21-21. The Lakers needed just 2:30 and a fake punt to reclaim the lead. LB Luther Ware took a direct snap and rushed for a first down on fourth and one, followed by a 47 yard TD run by senior RB Justin Sherrod on the very next play to give GVSU a 28-21 lead. Hillsdale answered with a 10 yard TD run by Glendening, but Sherrod capped an 11-play, 76-yard drive with a 1 yard TD run. The PAT hit the upright and the GVSU lead was six (34-28). The Chargers took their first lead of the night as Weatherhead directed an 8-play, 59yard scoring drive. Anthony Mifsud caught a 3 yard TD pass and McGreevy added the PAT for a 35-34 Charger lead. Hillsdale stopped Grand Valley State on a fourth and one play from the HC 1 yard line and then drove the length of the field for a Glendening 7 yard TD run to up the lead to 41-34 with 1:17 remaining. However, that is when the final fireworks started. Ware broke through and blocked the PAT, scooped up the ball and scored a defensive conversion. GVSU downed the ensuing squib kick on the 47 yard line with 1:17 on the clock to set up the game winning drive. The Laker offense tallied 475 yards, including 235 via the ground and 240 through the air.

Allendale, mich. - Senior QB Kyle McMahon hit WR Jovonne Augustus for a touchdown in the final minute of the fourth quarter for the second time in as many weeks to lift the top-ranked Lakers to victory Saturday (Sept. 18) night before a crowd of 11,682 at Lubbers Stadium. McMahon's 10 yard TD pass to Augustus capped a 7-play, 66-yard drive in 2:35 and led GVSU to a 38-31 victory. GVSU improves to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in GLIAC action, while the Greyhounds fall to 2-1 overall and 1-1 in GLIAC play. Grand Valley State will hit the road for the first time this season next saturday (Sept. 24) with a 12 noon tilt at Findlay. GVSU opened the game with a 13-play, 60-yard scoring drive capped by RB Justin Sherrod's 1 yard TD plunge on fourth-and-one. However, Indianapolis answered with a 10-play, 71-yard drive of its own to knot the game at 7-7. PK Jay Jandasek hit a 21 yard field goal at the 14:51 mark of the second quarter to give GVSU a 10-7 lead. Grand Valley State handed the Greyhounds a field goal after muffing a punt. The Laker defense held, but Aaron Puntarelli hit a 41 yard field goal to tie the game at 10-10. GVSU's offense continued to roll, driving 61 yards in nine plays as McMahon hit WR Ryan Bass with a 22 yard TD pass. However, the PAT hit the upright and the Lakers took a 16-10 into the lockerroom. The Laker defense opened the second half with a three-and-out and the offense responded with a drive inside the UI 10 yard line, but McMahon fumbled on a QB keeper and the Greyhounds Nate Jackson raced 90 yards for the score and Puntarelli's PAT gave Indianapolis a 17-16 lead with 7:31 left in the third quarter. GVSU answered with a 4-play, 55-yard scoring drive, highlighted by a 39 yard pass and catch from McMahon to WR Greg Gay. McMahon finished the drive with a 15 yard TD run and then hit Gay with the two-point pass to give GVSU a 24-17 lead. The Indianapolis offense continued play the short game and drove 79 yards in 13 plays for a score. The drive appeared to have stalled, but the Lakers were called for roughing the punter and UI took advantage with a Rob Doyle to Mar'Quone Edmonds 10 yard scoring pass. GVSU's special teams answered as redshirt freshman Chris Crawford returned the Indianapolis kickoff 73 yards to the Greyhound six yard line. McMahon finished the drive with a 3 yard TD run to give GVSU a 31-24 lead with 13:43 left in the game. GVSU picked off a Doyle pass on the Greyhounds next possession, but was unable to put more points on the board and left the door open for Indy. GVSU and Indianapolis traded punts and the Lakers found themselves inside their own 10 yard at the midway point of the final quarter following yet another Greyhound punt. Grand Valley State was unable to move the ball and Jandasek's punt traveled just 24 yards to the GV 24 yard line. Grand Valley State's defense forced the Greyhounds into a fourth-and-six play and appeared to deflect the fourth down pass, but UI's Brenden Williams hauled in the deflected pass and raced to the Laker six yard line. Paul Corsaro scored on the very next play and the PAT was good to tie the game at 31-31. McMahon drove GVSU 66 yards in seven plays for the game-winner, completin 4-of-5 passes for 52 yards and toting the ball one time for six yards. For the game, McMahon completed 16-of-29 passes for 239 yards and two TDs, while rushing the ball eight times for 24 yards and two TDs. Sophomore RB Norman Shuford toted the ball five times for 54 yards, while Sherrod added 45 yards on 13 carries. Gay hauled in five passes for 80 yards and Ryan Bass caught three passes for 51 yards, including a key 22 yard reception on the game-winning drive. Sherrod and TE Tony Carreri each caught three passes for 33 yards, while Augustus caught two passes for 42 yards and the final TD.

Allendale, mich. - No. 1 ranked Grand Valley State claimed a 28-7 victory over Northern Michigan Saturday (Oct. 9) before a 50th Anniversary homecoming crowd of 12,307. The Lakers improve to 6-0 overall and 5-0 in GLIAC action, while the Wildcats fall to 3-3 overall and 3-2 in GLIAC action. GVSU will host Lake Erie College next Saturday (Oct. 16) at 7 p.m. The Lakers started quickly, scoring on their first three drives of the night. GVSU took the opening kickoff and drove 63 yards in eight plays as senior QB Kyle McMahon hit junior TE Andrew Lorman for a 9-yard TD pass. Senior PK Luke Briggs kicked the first of his four PATs on the night for a 7-0 Laker lead. Grand Valley State then drove 68 yards in nine plays for its second score of the night. Sophomore running back Norman Shuford concluded the 6:39 drive with a 4-yard TD run at the 4:38 mark of the first quarter. GVSU took over its third drive of game on its own 32 yard line and drove 68 yards in eight plays. Shuford tallied a 1-yard TD run to give the Lakers a 21-0 lead with 13:01 left in the first half. GVSU drove inside the NMU 20 yard line midway through the second quarter, but was called for offensive pass interference on an apparent touchdown and then missed a 32 yard field goal. Norhtern Michigan moved the ball 62 yards in four plays to the GVSU 14 yard line and the Lakers were then called for pass interference and defensive holding penalties that gave the Wildcats the ball at the Laker 4-yard line. Junior LB Brad Howard tallied a tackle for loss (-6) and forced a fumble that went out of bounds on first down, while the Laker defense hurried NMU QB Carter Kopach on three straight passes that fell incomplete to keep the Wildcats off the score board. "I felt like we really came out ready to play and it showed on our first three offensive drives," said first-year head coach Matt Mitchell. "Our defense also didn't allow Northern Michigan to sustain any offensive momentum on their first three possessions," added Mitchell. GVSU had a chance to put the game away early in the second half as the Wildcats fumbled the opening kickoff and GVSU's Israel Woolfork recovered the ball on the NMU 16 yard line. However, McMahon was picked off by NMU's DJ Okie on the third down to thwart the drive. The Wildcats, playing without and injured Carter Kopach in the second half, drove 96 yards in 18 plays behind the direction of Jacob Hicks. RB John Privitelli went the final 17 yards for a TD and Rockne Belmonte added the PAT. GVSU was unable to get any offense going in the second half until midway through the fourth quarter when McMahon drove the Lakers 60 yards in 11 plays for a TD. Woolfork hauled in a 14-yard TD catch, the first TD reception of his career, at the 4:29 mark to seal the win and give GVSU a 28-7 lead. "Northern Michigan is a good football team that plays physical," said Mitchell. "That was one of the more physical games we have played this season and I am proud that our football team withstood the physical nature of the game and came out with the win." GVSU went over the 300 yard rushing mark for the second straight game, toting the ball 49 times for 312 yards and three TDs. Sherrod led the way with 109 yards on 13 carries, while Shuford toted the ball 11 times for a career-high 83 yards. McMahon added 66 yards on 13 carries and Michael Ratay finished the game with 40 yards on seven carries. McMahon completed 9-of-16 passes for 83 yards and a TD, while junior WR Greg Gay caught five passes for 62 yards. Defensively, senior LB Justin Victor led the way with nine tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss. Senior DE Nick Lawrence chipped in seven stops, a TFL (-4) and two pass deflections. Junior CB Chris Huley, freshman safety Erik Thompson and junior LB Zach Breen each chipped in six stops. Breen tallied 2.5 TFL (-14) and 2.0 QB sacks (-14). GVSU limited NMU to just 101 rushing yards and 140 passing yards.

Game 10 November 6, 2010

Allendale, mich. - No. 8 Grand Valley State recorded a 35-21 victory over Northwood Saturday night at Lubbers Stadium before a senior night crowd of 9,103. Grand Valley State improves to 9-1 overall and 8-1 in GLIAC action, while Northwood falls to 4-6 overall and 4-5 in GLIAC action. GVSU will close out the regular season next Saturday (Nov. 13) at Saginaw Valley State. Kickoff is set for 12 noon. Grand Valley State jumped out quickly, scoring 21 first quarter points on the Timberwolves. The Lakers took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards in eight plays for a touchdown. Senior QB Kyle McMahon hit junior WR Greg Gay with a 13 yard scoring pass and freshman PK Ryan Stokes added the PAT for a 7-0 Laker lead. GVSU rushed for 58 yards and passed for 22 yards on the opening drive. GVSU forced a three-and-out defensively and went to work offensively. The Lakers drove 59 yards in nine plays, 43 of which came via the ground, for a score as senior RB Justin Sherrod concluded the drive with a two yard run. Stokes added the PAT for a 14-0 lead. GVSU's defense forced a second straight three-and-out and the Laker offense struck quickly before the first quarter could come to an end. McMahon hit Greg Gay with a 31-yard pass and catch, followed by a McMahon 24 yard run. Sherrod caught a swing pass and scampered to the one before McMahon hit WR Jovonne Augustus with a one-yard fade pass in the corner of the endzone for a 21-0 Laker lead with 25 seconds left in the first quarter. "We had a good week of practice and it showed with how we came out in the first quarter," said first-year coach Matt Mitchell. "Defensively, we did a nice job in the first half and offensively we obviously started strong in the first quarter, but we left some points on the field in the second quarter or we could have been up 35-0 at the half." Grand Valley State limited Northwood to 79 yards of total offense in the first half, while the Lakers tallied 172 via the ground game and 285 yards of total offense. Northwood was able to get its ground game going early in the second half, but senior DT Steve Gawronski recorded his second sack of the night on a third and seven play from the GVSU 34 yard line to force a punt. Sophomore WR Israel Woolfork then blocked Tony Hite's punt and freshman safety Charles Hill recovered it on the GVSU 44 yard line. However, Justin Sherrod fumbled on the Lakers' second play from scrimmage and Northwood fullback Anthony Brandon went 49 yards for a TD on the Timberwolves first play to cut the GVSU lead to 14 points (21-7). GVSU's defense came up with a fourth down stop midway through the third quarter to set up a scoring drive. Sherrod concluded an 8-play, 56-yard drive with a 15 yard TD run and Stoke remained perfect on PATs to give the Lakers a 28-7 lead. Sherrod toted the ball five times for 45 yards on the drive. Northwood would not go away and was able to get its option running game going after some halftime adjustments. The Timberwolves went 80 yards in seven plays for a score as RB Cameron Jackson went the final 32 yards for a touchdown. Trailing 28-14 with over 11 minutes left in the game Northwood decided to go for the onside kick and kicker Pat Sijan executed it to perfection and the Timberwolves recovered the ball on their own 44 yard line. NU wasted no time, driving 56 yards in four plays as Brandon went the final 27 yards for a TD. GVSU's offense answered quickly, driving 81 yards in seven plays to push the lead back to 14 points (35-21). McMahon finished the drive with a 26 yard TD run and Stokes added the PAT. GVSU rushed for 65 yards on the drive and McMahon hit TE Andrew Lorman with a 16 yard pass on a third-and-seven play from the GVSU 45 yard line. "I really like the way our offense answered the bell and Northwood was able to creep within seven," said Mitchell. The Laker defense was able to stop a Northwood fourth down play with just over four minutes left in the game and the Laker offense ran out the clock with a 9play, 54-yard drive. GVSU recorded 490 yards of total offense, including 354 via the ground game. McMahon completed 11-of-23 passes for 136 yards and two TDs. Sherrod and Shuford each broke the 100-yard rushing mark for the Lakers, while McMahon was one yard shy of the 100-yard mark. Sherrod toted the ball 17 times for 141 yards and two TDs, followed by Shuford's 118 yards on 14 carries. McMahon rushed for 99 yards and a TD on eight carries.

University Center, mich. - No. 6 Grand Valley State (10-1, 9-1) captured the 2010 GLIAC Championship Saturday afternoon at Wickes Stadium with a 28-7 victory over Saginaw Valley State before a crowd of 8,927. GVSU has now won a GLIAC record six straight conference championships and 16 football conference titles overall. GVSU will now await word from the NCAA DII selection committee Sunday to see who and when the Lakers will open the 2010 NCAA DII playoffs. GVSU is the only school in the country to appear in each of the last 10 NCAA DII playoffs. The game opened with both Grand Valley State and Saginaw Valley State being stopped on fourth down plays on their opening possessions. GVSU thwarted a Saginaw Valley State fourth and 10 play inside the GVSU 20 yard line and the Laker offense went to work. GVSU drove 88 yards in 11 plays, concluding with a 7-yard TD run by senior QB Kyle McMahon on third and goal. McMahon spun out of trouble and raced into the end zone to give GVSU a 7-0 lead. Saginaw Valley State drove inside the GVSU 30 yard line again, but senior LB Justin Victor forced a fumble by QB Justin Jennings that FS Matt Bakker recovered. The Laker offense continued to click and drove 72 yards in nine plays, finished by a Justin Sherrod 3-yard TD run to up the lead to 14-0 following Ryan Stokes' second PAT of the day. The Lakers picked up a key first down after a penalty that put GVSU in a second and 23 situation. McMahon hit junior WR Jovonne Augustus with consecutive completions of 10 and 14 yards to the SVSU six yard line to pick up the first down. The Laker defense once again came up with a defensive stop in the final seconds of the first half, forcing a 37 yard field goal attempt that came up well short. "We left some points on the board in the first half with turnovers, but I really like the way our defense stepped up and made some stops," said first-year head coach Matt Mitchell. Saginaw Valley State took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove 58 yards in five plays for a touchdown. Jennings hit WR Andrew Beaver with the 17-yard scoring pass and the PAT was good to cut the GVSU lead to 14-7. After trading possessions, GVSU punter Ryan Stokes dropped a 30 yard punt inside the SVSU five yard line to set up the Lakers' third score. Saginaw Valley State picked up one first down, but the GVSU defense forced a punt. Freshman safety Charles Hill came off the edge and blocked Ryan Carpers punt and sophomore cornerback Myron Puryear recoved the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. Stokes added the PAT for a 21-7 GVSU lead at the 6:17 mark of the third quarter. Grand Valley State sealed the win with a 7-play, 68-yard scoring drive that took 3:44 off the clock. McMahon hit a wide open Andrew Lorman with a 46 yard scoring pass to up the Laker lead to 28-7 with 4:53 left in the game. "I am extremely proud of this football team and what they have accomplished thus far in the season," added Mitchell. "Winning outright conference championships is not easy in a league that is as competitive as the GLIAC. We will enjoy this win, but Sunday we will move forward to a second season that means a lot to the kids in our program." GVSU racked up 465 yards of total offense with a balanced attack of 252 rushing yards and 213 passing yards. Justin Sherrod rushed for 88 yards and a TD on 13 carries, while McMahon added 83 yards and a TD on 16 carries. Sophomore RB Norman Shuford tallied 74 yards on 10 carries. McMahon completed 14-of-24 passes for 213 yards and one TD. Junior WR Jovonne Augustus caught a season-high five passes for 64 yards. Junior WR Greg Gay caught four passes for 30 yards. Defensively, GVSU limited the Cardinals to 322 yards of total offense. Senior LB Justin Victor notched a career-high 14 tackles, while sophomore safety Jarod Cox added a career-high 11 stops.

Sioux Falls, S.d. - Grand Valley State dropped a 38-6 decision to Augustana Saturday afternoon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. GVSU finished the season with an 11-2 record and advanced to the NCAA DII playoffs for the 10th consecutive year. Augustana moves on to play Minnesota Duluth next Saturday (Dec. 4) in the Super Region 3 final. Augustana used Grand Valley State miscues in the first quarter to jump out to a 10-0 lead. GVSU senior QB Kyle McMahon fumbled at the 50 yard line on the Lakers' second possession and Augustana drove 27 yards in nine plays for a 40 yard field goal by Drew Behrens. GVSU punter Jay Jandasek dropped the snap from center and Augustana blocked his punt that was downed at the GVSU 32 yard line. Josh Hanson hit Tyler Schulte with a 14 yard TD pass just 1:05 later and Augustana led 10-0 with less than minute left in the first quarter. On the Lakers' fourth possession McMahon hit senior WR Ryan Bass on what appeared to be a first down on a 22 yard completion, but officials ruled the ball hit the ground. Replays showed it was a completed pass and GVSU was forced to punt. Augustana drove 97 yards in eight plays for a touchdown on its ensuing drive. Hanson hit Schulte again, this one coming from 19 yards out to give the Viking a 17-0 lead. Justin Sherrod fumbled at the Augustana 22 yard line to finish what looked to be a promising GVSU drive. GVSU forced a fumble and had apparently recovered the ball in Viking territory, but officials ruled the runner was down. Replays again showed the ball was fumbled before the player was down. An Augustana punt was downed at the GVSU two yard line with 3:46 left in the first half. The Lakers moved the ball out to the 30 yard line, but McMahon was picked off by defensive lineman Erik Bergman and the ball was returned 24 yards for a TD to up the Viking lead to 24-0. The first half for the Lakers was one to forget, two lost fumbles, a blocked punt and an interception return for a TD. Augustana scored 17 points directly from GVSU turnovers. GVSU opened the second half with a drive deep into Viking territory, but the Lakers were stopped on a dropped snap from center on a 32 yard field goal attempt. McMahon was picked off when he overthrew Greg Gay with 5:20 left in the third quarter on the Lakers next possession. Augustana scored again on a 19 yard TD reception from Hanson to Schulte to up the Viking advantage to 31-0. GVSU's Chris Crawford returned the ensuing kickoff 87 yards for a GVSU touchdown, but the PAT was blocked. GVSU's senior LB Justin Victor blocked a Viking field goal attempt following an Augustana field goal attempt, but McMahon was picked off for the third time with 12:36 left in the fourth quarter. Augustana scored on a 13 yard TD run by Joe Clark to increase the Viking lead to 38-6. Augustana scored 31 points off GVSU offensive miscues. McMahon completed 16-of-35 passes for 202 yards, while rushing for 69 yards on 13 carries. Justin Sherrod rushed 11 times for 51 yards and caught seven passes for 71 yards. Greg Gay caught five passes for 70 yards. Justin Victor led the GVSU defense with a career-high 15 tackles, while Zach Breen tallied 10 stops.

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. For the 2011 season, the stadium will see 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 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 renewed 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 onto the hill.

LUBBERS STADIUM With the increased seating in the south end zone and the two new sections on the home side, Lubbers Stadium now has a permanent seating capacity for 8,950 fans. The Lakers set a Lubbers Stadium and GLIAC single-game oncampus record in 2009 as 16,467 fans watched Grand Valley State claim a 38-7 victory over Saginaw Valley State. GVSU set a GLIAC single-season attendance record in 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 seven all-time single-game crowds and four of the top 13 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 31-ofthe-last-35 regular season games since 2004 and 42-of-46 since 2002. Designed with the future in mind, the stadium can have permanent seating added when needed, with ultimate expansion to 20,000 seats. A new track was also installed in the summer of 1998. 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. Lubbers Stadium was built around the existing football field of Prescription Athletic Turf (PAT). The field, which is drained and heated by more than seven miles of tubing and electric coils, was installed in 1972, and opened in 1973. A new automatic sprinkler system was also installed in the summer of 1998. The Lubbers Stadium press box was designed to accomodate both print and electronic media representatives.

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.

STORIED TRADITION 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.

STORIED TRADITION 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


STORIED TRADITION Dakota and North Dakota) in regional action, a win over a Gulf South Conference team (Delta State) in the semifinals, followed by a victory over Northwest Missouri State (17-14) of the MIAA in the title game. QB Cullen Finnerty scored the game winner early in the fourth quarter on a 4-yard run and the Laker defense preserved the win. Finnerty ran for 117 and passed for 225, while cornerback Bill Brechin picked off two passes and recovered a fumble for the defense. GVSU also played on national television three times (ESPN2 twice and CSTV) during the 2006 season. An incredible 21 players earned All-GLIAC plaudits, including nine first-teamers. Seven individuals earned all-american honors, including consensus first-teamers in QB Cullen Finnerty, OT Brandon Barnes, DL Mike McFadden, LB Anthony Adams and CB Brandon Carr. 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.

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.

By Percentage


From Grand Valley State's first all-american in 1973 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 in each season. 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 133 games, four national championships, completed five undefeated regular seasons and won more games than any other Division I, Division I-AA, and Division II football team in the country. The Lakers have 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 hold the longest active streak for playoff appearances in Division II. GVSU has appeared in the playoffs every year since being in the championship game in 2001. Grand Valley holds a 27-5 record in the during the 11year playoff streak. NCAA division II Football Championships All-Time 5 - North Dakota State

2006 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS In 2006, the Lakers successfully defended the national championship. Along with the title defense, the Laker football program went 15-0 for the first time in school history and for just the second time in NCAA history as well. Chuck Martin earned his second AFCA Coach of the Year plaudit in just his third season as the coach of the Lakers. Cullen Finnerty finished second in Harlon Hill balloting, while Mike McFadden received his second consecutive Gene Upshaw Award in 2006. The Lakers went wire to wire as the #1 team in the country. Grand Valley got off to a bit of a rough start early in the season, but was able to peak at the right time despite suffering key injuries on the offensive line and defense. GVSU moved through the playoffs without too much of a scare, defeating South Dakota, North Dakota, and Delta State by an average score of more than two touchdowns. In the championship game, Grand Valley defeated a determined NW Missouri State for the second year in a row, 17-14. Cullen Finnerty was responsible for both Laker touchdowns, while Billy “Pix� Brechin intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble to clinch the win.


2005 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS The Lakers again returned to Florence, Ala. making their fourth appearance on ESPN in just five seasons. AFCA Coach of the Year, Chuck Martin, led the Lakers to a second undefeated championship season in just his second campaign as head coach. Grand Valley State became just the third school to win three Division II football National Championships. Cullen Finnerty, who ran for two touchdowns, connected with Brandon Langston on a screen pass which he took 35 yards to paydirt for what would be the eventual winning touchdown. The Laker defensive unit stood tall, as Mike McFadden continued to pressure the NW Missouri State quarterback despite fighting an injury from the previous week. As the game came down to the final seconds, Kirk Carruth and Joe Ballard stuffed a last gasp pass completion just short of the goal line to seal the victory. Josh Bourke and Mike McFadden garnered all-american honors, and McFadden also earned the Gene Upshaw Award. The senior class finished as the winningest class in GVSU history (51-4).


2003 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS In contrast to the 2002 season, the Lakers took to the road to claim the national championship in back-to-back seasons. In the end, GVSU would travel 13,232 miles to defend the title. Grand Valley continued its winning ways after graduating 13 starters from the previous season. Depsite seeing its 20-game win streak come to an end in the middle of the season, GVSU regrouped to finish strong with only one blemish preventing another undefeated season. Scott Mackey scored the only touchdown against Saginaw Valley in the playoff rematch to give the Lakers a 10-3 victory over Grand Valley’s biggest in-state rival. The win would give the Lakers a berth in the semifnals where GVSU ran over highly touted Texas A&M-Kingsville for a return to the championship game in Florence, Ala. Mackey, along with Lucius Hawkins, would help lead the Lakers in a tough battle versus North Dakota in the championship game. In the end, Mike Hoad would play the hero as he put an end to a late Fighting Sioux drive by picking off a pass to give the Lakers a 10-3 win against the team who narrowly defeated them in the 2001 championship game.


2002 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Staking the claim as one of the most explosive and dynamic football teams in DII history, the 2002 Lakers went wire-to-wire as the #1 team in the nation with an incredible 11 players that earned some sort of all-america mention. GVSU completed its second undefeated regular season in 2002, on its way to winning the GLIAC title for the second consecutive year. The Lakers would go on an amazing playoff run before returning to Alabama to face Valdosta State in the title game. Grand Valley posted an average margin of victory of 42 points in three playoff games versus C.W. Post, IUP and Northern Colorado. The title game featured the first NCAA Division II championship game in which the top two teams in the country were both undefeated. Grand Valley entered as the #1 team, while Valdosta State was ranked #2. GVSU led for most of the game, but a Valdosta State comeback effort put the Blazers in position for the win. However, a calm, cool and collected Curt Anes found Kircus late in the fourth quarter to cap off a 65-yard drive to take the lead. Darren Smith tallied his second interception of the game to put Valdosta State away and seal the Lakers’ first championship. All-american David Kircus racked up a Division II championship game-record 270 receiving yards and three touchdowns to lead the Lakers to their first national championship.


Game 1 Aug. 27, 2005

Game 5 Oct. 1, 2005

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 11 Nov. 26, 2005 Game 16 Sept. 16, 2006

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.

Game 26 Dec. 2, 2006

Game 30 Sept. 15, 2007

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

Game 37 Nov. 3, 2007

Game 40 Dec. 1, 2007


QUARTERBACK U The Laker offense has been directed by five quarterbacks since 1996 and if you go all the way back to 1985, just 10 primary signal callers have lined up under center. Each of the Lakers’ last four 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 Cameron Bradfield (2010) and Nick McDonald (2009) have been consensus all-america picks each of the last two years. Bradfield's honors in 2010 mark the 10th straight year that GVSU has placed a player on the AFCA All-American team, while the Lakers have placed an offensive lineman on the Daktronics All-American team nine times in the last 10 years. Bradfield was also a finalist for the Gene Upshaw Award, for the nation’s top interior lineman. Danny Richard has been named a 2011 preseason all-american by The Sporting News.


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 1979, Ron Essink 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 NCAA 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. Crowd noise isn’t the only reason Lubbers Stadium is an intimidating place to play. GVSU hasn’t lost a regular season home game in over seven years.


“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 201011 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, which is seen by over 300,000 readers in West Michigan on a daily basis. The Grand Rapids Press also runs the website mlive.com which has a dedicated page to cover GVSU athletics. 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 eight years.


FACILITIES Arend D. Lubbers Stadium is the home of Laker football. The Lakers have played at Lubbers Stadium since 1973 and have amassed a .818 winning percentage in those 38 seasons. Lubbers Stadium is the focal point of the Laker football program. Since its construction it has seen many additions to improve the facilities. 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.


LUBBERS STADIUM QUICK FACTS All-Time Home Record: 146-32-1 All-Time Home Playoff Record: 16-3 Record Attendance: 16,467 Field Surface: Natural Grass Year Built: 1972 The Lakers have not been shut out at home since 1992. The Lakers have won 10 straight home openers. GVSU has a 68-3 record at home when ranked in the 2000’s.


LAKERS IN THE PROS Cameron Bradfield is the latest Laker to join the NFL ranks in 2011. After an impressive pro-day workout at GVSU in the spring to boost his stock, Bradfield caught the eye of the Jacksonville Jaguars and was offered a rookie free agent contract. Bradfield is just the latest players on a list of former Lakers looking to turn the game of football into a career. There are currently five Lakers on NFL or CFL rosters heading into the fall; Brandon Carr (Chiefs), Dan Skuta (Bengals), Nick McDonald (Packers), Cameron Bradfield (Jaguars) and Josh Bourke (Alouettes). OL Josh Bourke is also playing in one of the premier professional leagues, the CFL. Bourke was picked up by the Montreal Alouettes after a short stint in the NFL. He has been successful in his native Canada, having been named to the CFL All-Star team three straight years and helped to lead his team to a Grey Cup titles each of the last two years.

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.

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). Estes notched 12 tackles, six tackles for loss (-21) and 2.5 QB sacks, while Marshall chipped in 12 stops, six tackles for loss and one QB sack. LB Orlando Williams notched eight tackles, two tackles for loss and one QB sack. CB Darren Smith snagged a pair of interception and notched two pass deflections. GVSU completed the 2002 season with a perfect 14-0 record, including wins in 33of-its-last-34 games.

Florence, Ala. - A determined North Dakota football team could not break the will of the Grand Valley State University defense this time. The Lakers held off a potential game-winning drive late, intercepting a pass near the goal line to preserve a 10-3 win in the NCAA Division II Championship Game Saturday. The effort in front of a Braly Municipal Stadium crowd of 7,236 allowed GVSU to become the sixth Division II team to win back-to-back national titles since the first championship game in 1973. Grand Valley (14-1) would be celebrating three titles in a row if North Dakota hadn't rallied in 2001 to beat the Lakers 17-14 with a fourth-quarter drive. “That was deja vu that North Dakota moved the ball down field," GVSU coach Brian Kelly said, referring to the game's dramatic finish. "Our defense has just answered

the bell the past three weeks. They have not let up a touchdown now in 12 consecutive quarters of playoff competition. That's a lot to be said in terms of how we got back here. "We got back here on the backs of our defense." The defense sought redemption for a dejecting end to the 2001 contest against North Dakota. The Fighting Sioux edged Grand Valley two years ago when they scored on a 1yard touchdown run with 29 seconds left. A 58-yard reception for a tight end off a missed tackle set up the decisive score. This year, North Dakota were thinking of a similar end when GVSU's David Hendrix missed a 43-yard field goal with 3 minutes, 54 seconds remaining. The Fighting Sioux (12-2) moved up the field and put themselves in a 1st-and-10 at the Grand Valley 17-yard line. They downed the ball to stop the clock. The Lakers then forced two incomplete passes, including a third-down one that fell incomplete in the end zone. North Dakota quarterback John Bowenkamp looked to keep the drive alive on fourth quarter, but GVSU linebacker Mike Hoad stepped in front of the pass at the 5yard line. The Lakers squashed the comeback bid. "We thought the defense had to step up a lot this year," said Hoad, a senior. "We had our backs up against the wall at the end. I think (the resilience) was typical of our seniors and our character." Hoad and his teammates would have been tested further had the Fighting Sioux got into the end zone. North Dakota, which missed two field goals during the game, would have gone for the go-ahead two-point conversion had they scored, according to Fighting Sioux coach Dale Lennon. Instead, North Dakota was dealing with a tough loss. "They beat us at our game," Lennon said. The low-scoring contest featured only a 19-yard David Hendrix field goal midway through the first quarter. The Lakers too the opening drive 79 yards in 17 plays before reaching the 1-yard line and settling for a field goal. The drive was Grand Valley's second-longest of the season. Neither team scored in the half. The 3-0 score was the lowest at halftime of NCAA Division II Championship Game history since 1989 when Mississippi College and Jacksonville State were scoreless. North Dakota, which had not been shutout in a half this season, threatened right away in the third quarter, though The Fighting Sioux took the opening drive of the second half and marched 63 yards to the GVSU 7-yard line. On third-and-four, quarterback John Bowenkamp dropped back to pass then scrambled to his right. A charging Grand Valley linebacker, Lucius Hawkins, hit Bowenkamp after he pump-faked and forced a fumble. Hawkins scooped up the football and raced 59 yards to the North Dakota 20-yard line. Four plays later, running back Michael Tennessee barrelled into the end zone from 1 yard out. Tennessee's 16th touchdown of the season and a Hendrix extra point put the Lakers ahead 10-0 with 9:15 remaining in the third quarter. The Fighting Sioux bounced back on their next series and set themselves up for a 43-yard field goal. Kicker Jeff Glas, however, slipped on his approach and Grand Valley defensive lineman Keyonta Marshall easily deflected the kick. Glas also pulled a 46-yard field goal in the first quarter. It was the fourth time this season Glas had missed at least two field goals in a game. Glas finally connected on a 35-yard field goal 9:47 into the fourth quarter. It wasn't enough. Grand Valley joined the 1999 Northern Colorado team as the only ones to win a national championship while never playing at a home. The Lakers won four road games in the playoffs and six in a row including the regular season. "It means a lot (to earn a national title by winning four consecutive games on the road.)," Kelly said. "They did it in tough circumstances. Maybe they can get credit for being one of those all-time great teams."

A-5521 Allendale, Mich. - #1 Ranked Grand Valley State scored 34 first-quarter points and cruised to a 55-20 NCAA DII National Semifinal victory at Lubbers Stadium in Allendale Saturday afternoon. Grand Valley State will now appear in its fourth NCAA DII National Championship game in the last five years. GVSU lost the 2001 title game, but won back-to-back DII National Championships in 2002 and 2003. "I'm so proud of how this team has competed and played together as a team for 15 weeks," said second-year head coach Chuck Martin. "This group is so close on both sides of the ball and they compete with one another to make each other better," added Martin. Grand Valley State took the opening kickoff and drove 87 yards in seven plays for a a TD. Brandon Langston finished the drive with an 18 yard TD run at the 11:39 mark of the first quarter. Langston continued his stellar play when he blocked a punt on East Stroudsburg's second straight three and out. QB Cullen Finnerty found Langston all alone over the middle in endzone for a 22-yard TD and a 14-0 Laker lead. That was the first of four consecutive touchdowns for the Lakers. RB Astin Martin scored from one yard out to put the finishing touches on a 4-play, 64-yard drive and Brandon Carr returned a fumble 40 yards for a TD to give GVSU a 27-0 lead. Grand Valley State put the finishing touches on an incredible first quarter when Finnerty hit Langston on a fly pattern that covered 81 yards on the final play of the first quarter for a score. The Lakers' 34 first quarter points set a GVSU playoff record for points in a quarter, breaking the previous mark of 31 (2nd Q) set in 2002 versus Indiana (Pa.). RB Ryan Hukill put GVSU up 41-0 with 8:20 left in the second quarter when he finished

a 9-play, 79-yard drive with a 5-yard shovel pass for a TD. East Stroudsburg's only points in the first half came following a Finnerty interception that was returned to the Laker 20. Jim Terwilliger ran it in from two yards out for the Warriors first score. GVSU's 41 first half points were the second most in a half for a playoff game behind the 51 put up against Indiana (Pa.) in 2002. GVSU sacked Terwilliger seven times in the opening 30 minutes and limited the Warriors to just 150 yards of total offense. ESU was held to -1 yard rushing on 17 carries and Terwilliger completed just 10-of-27 passes for 151 yards. GVSU dominated the game offensively, racking up 409 yards of total offense. Finnerty completed 10-of-14 passes for 241 yards and three TDs, while Astin Martin rushed for 73 yards and one TD on 14 carries. Langston caught four passes for 148 yards and two TDs, while rushing for 18 yards and one TD. Martin opened the second half with a 44 yard TD run to put the Lakers up 48-7. Martin's TD run capped a 5-play, 82-yard scoring drive. ESU added third and fourth quarter TDs, but GVSU's Brandon Carr returned an onside kick 47 yards for the final score of the day. GVSU ran the ball 26 times in the second half and attempted just one pass. GVSU rolled up 562 yards of total offense on the day, including 320 rushing and 242 passing. The Laker starting offensive unit finished its day midway through the third quarter. Martin broke the 100-yard rushing mark for the ninth time this season with 134 yards and two TDs on 18 carries. Ryan Hukill rushed for 90 yards on nine carries, while Mark Catlin chipped in 51 yards on nine carries. Finnerty completed 10-fo-14 passes for 241 yards and three TDs, while rushing for 39 yards on four carries. The Laker defense was dominating, sacking the Harlon Hill Finalist, Jimmy Terwilliger, 10 times for a -42 yards. ESU finished with 10 net rushing yards. Terwilliger completed 24-of-47 passes for 287 yards and two TDs, with most of that yardage coming when the outcome of the game was already decided. Sophomore LB Anthony Adams recorded 10 tackles, three tackles for loss (-20) and two QB sacks (-19). Kirk Carruth chipped in seven tackles and sack, while Dan Skuta added six tackles and a QB sack. All-American and Gene Upshaw Award finalist Mike McFadden tallied five tackles, four tackles for loss (-13) and three QB sacks (-12). CB Brandon Carr returned a fumble 40 yards for a TD and recorded five tackles. GVSU notched 11 pass deflections and 13 tackles for loss (-72 yards).

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.”

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.”

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.”

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. 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.

194 • FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

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.

- Director of Athletics

Tim W. Selgo enters his 16th 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 University won its eighth straight Directors' Cup in 2010-11, staking a claim as the top all-around athletic department in the country. In addition to winning eight straight Directors' Cup titles, GVSU's eight total titles is tops all-time in DII. 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 to the Lakers' eight straight Directors' Cup titles (2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11), GVSU finished second in 2001-02 and 2002-03 in the Directors' Cup standings. In addition, GVSU has won 13 straight Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Presidents' Cup titles as the top athletic program in the 13-team GLIAC. The Lakers' 18 all-time Presidents' Cup titles top all GLIAC institutions. Grand Valley State, which won 45 GLIAC titles prior to Selgo's arrival, has won 117 GLIAC titles since Selgo was appointed Athletic Director in 1996. A well respected leader in college athletics, Selgo served on the NCAA DII Management Council for one year (2009-10). A term on the NCAA DII Management Council is the highest position is DII athletics. Selgo, who is on the NCAA DII Budget and Finance Committee, was named the Division II Central Region Astroturf Athletic Director of the Year in 2006-07 and was also honored as the Central Region AD of the Year in 2002-03. Selgo has been the key figure in the development of the athletic facilities and programs at Grand Valley State. GVSU recently added women's lacrosse as a varsity program that will begin play in the spring of 2012. Lubbers Stadium began a three-phase renovation during the summer of 2011 and a new outdoor track & field/lacrosse stadium is set to open in the fall of 2011. The Laker Turf Building, which opened for all university activities in August 2009, 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. His 1978-79 Rocket squad claimed a first-round, 74-72, win over Iowa, before dropping a 79-71 decision to Notre Dame in the second round. 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/Athleteof-the-Year at Toledo in 1980. Known as an outstanding shooter, Selgo still holds the UT record for free throw percentage in a single-season, converting 92.3 percent (48-of-52) during the 197879 season. He also holds the Toledo career free throw percentage record in MAC games, hitting 86.1 percent (62-of-72) and the single-season Rocket mark for MAC games of 93.9 percent (31of-33). Selgo graduated from Toledo in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in physical education and a minor in mathematics. Following graduation, Selgo remained at Toledo as a graduate assistant for the Toledo men's basketball program and earned his master's degree in education administration in 1982. He then served as an assistant men's basketball coach at Toledo from 1982-1985. In 1985 he was named head women's basketball coach at Toledo. Selgo served as head coach of the Rockets women's basketball program for three years, turning around a program that is now at the top of the MAC. Selgo is married to the former Terry Bush and together the couple have three children: Jennifer (26), Rachel (24), and Daniel (18).
