Whitlow spent four years at Notre Dame College (Ohio) and was a part of the program from its beginning as the Falcons initial season playing football was in 2010. Whitlow was a graduate assistant in 2010 and 2011, but became the full-time defensive line coach in 2012. "It is an honor to become a part of the Grand Valley State football coaching staff and the tradition of the program," said Whitlow. "I have followed Grand Valley State having played in the GLIAC and when I got into coaching you pay attention to the top programs in the country and obviously Grand Valley State falls in that category." Whitlow played collegiately at Findlay from 2006-10, where he was twice an All-GLIAC performer as a defensive tackle and was named the Oilers' 2009 Team MVP. He recorded 44 total tackles and 5.0 tackles for loss (-19) en route to earning All-GLIAC honors as a junior, followed by senior season in which he tallied career-highs in total tackles (60) and tackles for loss with six (-21) and was named FirstTeam All-GLIAC and team MVP.

MATT VITZTHUM
ASST. COACH/QUARTERBACKS 2ND SEASON AT GVSU RECRUITING AREA: Northeast Michigan, Dayton, Cincinnati
Matt Vitzthum enters his second year on the Laker coaching staff and his first as the quarterback coach. Vitzthum coached a group of talented running backs his first year on the staff. Prior to arriving at Grand Valey State, Vitzthum was the quarterback coach at Wittenberg University. Vitzthum mentored one of the most productive running back units in the country in 2013. The group rushed for 2,798 yards and 32 TDs, while accounting for 186.5 yards per game. Michael Ratay (1,012), Chris Robinson (880) and Kirk Spencer (450) led the way for the Laker rushing game. Ratay earned All-GLIAC honors, but missed the final six games with an injury, while Spencer missed the middle portion of the season. Robinson was coming back from a season ending injury in 2012. "We are excited to have Matt join the Grand Valley State football program," said head coach Matt Mitchell. "Matt has been around successful football programs in St. Cloud State and Wittenberg that have competed at a championship level. In addition, he has worked under some outstanding coaches that are highly respected in the coaching profession." Vitzthum joined the Wittenberg coaching staff in 2012 after spending three years at St. Cloud State as a graduate assistant coach. Wittenberg finished with a 10-2 mark and advanced to the second round of the NCAA DIII Playoffs during the 2012 campaign. He tutored an all-conference quarterback and helped direct an offense that led the league in total offense, passing efficiency and scoring. Vitzthum served as the video coordinator and also coached both the tight ends and running backs at St. Cloud State, helping the team to a three-year record of 30-7, including two trips to the NCAA DII football playoffs. He coached three players who earned allconference honors as St. Cloud State advanced to the NCAA Division II Tournament in both 2010 and 2011. Matt played three years of football at Wartburg College, earning Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year and a varsity letter during his playing career.

PREVIEW
The 2014 Grand Valley State football team enters the campaign with the optimism and excitement like that of many others. The start of practice building to the season opener, with the hopes and dreams of extending the season with a playoff run. However, the previous 26 years the final destination for the NCAA DII National Championship game was Braly Stadium in Florence, Alabama. Grand Valley State reached that destination six times from 20012013, with four NCAA DII Football National Championships. In 2014 Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kansas will serve as the site desired by many to end the football season. With 47 letterwinners returning, including a senior class of 21 and 26 players that have started games for the Lakers, fifth-year head coach Matt Mitchell and his Laker football squad have their sights set firmly on Azusa Pacific.
“We are a process driven football team and the process starts with Azusa Pacific on September 4th in California,” said Mitchell. “Azusa Pacific was 10-2 last year and they have an outstanding team returning. If you want to look ahead, our first three opponents in 2014 (Azusa Pacific 10-2, Ohio Dominican 10-1, Ferris State 8-3) were a combined 28-6 in 2013 so we have to be ready from the opening kickoff of our first game. We have to prepare from the start of camp to get better each day and take care of what we can control -- and the process of preparing each and every week for a quality football team on our schedule is something that we can control,” added Mitchell.
The Lakers return a significant amount of production on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball, while all three phases of the kicking game return. “We have a great group of returnees that have a wealth of experience and have played key roles in our success. But it starts with our senior class that is 21 strong and played a significant role in our run to the NCAA DII semifinals a year ago,” said Mitchell

GVSU returns a pair of senior signal callers, Heath Parling and Isiah Grimes, that have combined to start 37 games (Parling 24/Grimes 13) over the last three years. Parling completed 155-of-273 passes for 2,441 yards and 27 touchdowns a year ago and has thrown for 5,632 yards and 82 touchdowns in his career. Grimes, who completed 68-of-119 in 2013 for 1,230 yards and eight TDs last season, has thrown for 3,670 yards and 31 TDs in his time at GVSU. The QB duo has thrown for 9,302 yards and 113 touchdowns in 37 career games. In addition, Grimes (169.6) and Parling (168.9) rank first and second in career pass efficiency rating at GVSU.

“We feel really good about where we stand with our quarterback situation,” said Mitchell. “Both have proven to be outstanding quarterbacks and are both capable of leading our football team.”
Parling started the opener, but sat the next four games with a shoulder injury. Grimes got the call before Parling returned for game six. Grimes again got the call after Parling was injured in game six and guided the Lakers to a pair key victories. Parling returned to start the final eight games and led the lakers to the NCAA DII Semifinals. Talented, versatile and deep could best describe the GVSU running back position. The Lakers return a stable of backs that have produced some incredible numbers. The trio has rushed for 3,656 yards and 56 TDs, while catching 94 passes for 1,163 yards. In addition, they have combined for 6,928 all-purpose yards in 37 career games.

son. Robinson returned in 2014 after missing the majority of the 2013 to a knee injury. “All three of these running backs have been productive throughout their careers and offer a different skill set,” said Mitchell. “This group is versatile, tough and know what we want to do on the offensive side of the ball,” added Mitchell. Fellow senior Hersey Jackson has rushed for 1,008 yards in his career and adds another element to Laker ground game.
Brandon Green turned in a stellar senior season, Player Class Steve Eleazer Sr. catching 53 passes for Keontre’ Miskel Sr. 1,210 yards and six TDs.

The Laker offense will look to seniors Steve Eleazer and Justice Wright, while sophomores Joe Robbins, James Wright and Matt Williams will join freshmen Urston Smith and Brandon Bean as producers in the passing game. WIDE RECEIVERS
“On the offensive side of the ball this is the spot where we have some question marks,” said Mitchell. “We have some talented players, they just don’t have the experience that we have at other positions. We have some young guys that are going to have to step up and give us some significant contributions in all facets of the passing game.”
Another position not lacking in talent, experience and production is tight end. Leading the cast of returnees is junior preseason AllAmerican Jamie Potts.

Senior PayJames Fleming Fr. ton McCallum will handle Nelson Schrader Fr.

Junior Aaron Cox, sophomore Robert Ault and redshirt freshmen Dan DeLuca, Cameron Hobbs, Anthony Jazvac, Josh Dentler, Scott Koenigsknecht and Evan Schriner will battle for the final spot and playing time. Sophomore transfer Dirk Weisenburger could also be in the mix for playing time. A pair of true freshman, Angelo Allen (6-4, 280) and Ben Walling (6-6, 290), have the physical nature to compete early. “We have a nice group of offensive linemen, but the key as always is building depth,” said Mitchell. “Our returnees really need to be leaders and they need help our younger players come along quickly as fall camp opens.”
The strength of the Laker defense will be at the point of attack on the defensive line. GVSU returns five key performers up front that all have the ability to change the game. Seniors Isiah Dunning, Frank Boenzi and Matt Mosley will team with juniors DeOndre Hogan and Matt Judon to form one top defensive lines in the country. Mosley (86), Dunning (65), Hogan (60) and Boenzi (39) ranked among the leading tacklers in 2013. Judon was a key performer in 2012, but was injured on the seventh play of the 2013 season and did not return.

In addition, the group combined for 35.5 tackles for loss and 17 QB sacks. Sophomores Sonny Haskins and Dylan Heyvaert, along with redshirt freshmen Dylan Carroll, Cody Moore, Keane Belcher, Alex Kelly and Jake Slobin will provide depth.

Three of the top five tacklers in 2013 resided in the linebacking unit and all three graduated. Jordan Kaufman, Charles Hill and Luther Ware had a great deal of experience that will be sorely missed in 2014. As experienced as the GVSU defensive line is, the linebacking position lacks that very game experience. This group is athletic and physical, but unproven in game situations. Junior Brad Horling will move down to linebacker from safety. Horling recorded 55 tackles and has the size to make an impact. A pair of sophomores, Joe Moran and David Talley, saw action a year ago in the middle of the Laker defense and both showed the ability to make plays in the spring. Junior transfer Christian Harris will make his bid for playing time, while freshmen Jeff Madison and Robbie Peck made an impact during the spring.

“Our defensive line will have to make an impact early in the season because of our lack of experience at linebacker,” commented Mitchell. “This group will need to build its confidence and get a feel for the speed of the game at the linebacker position. We ask a lot out of our linebackers and this group is more than capable of getting the job done.”

“We have a lot of talent in the secondary, but like the linebackers a number of players are untested,” said Mitchell. “I really like the way this unit competes every play and that is something that will allow them to be successful on the field.” The Lakers return all three primary kickers in 2014 and this position group enters as one of strength.

ALLENDALE, Mich. - The 14th-ranked Grand Valley State football team kicked off the 2013 season with a 38-17 victory over Azusa Pacific in front of a crowd of 13,659, the eighth-largest in Lubbers Stadium history. The Lakers dominated play early, putting up 17 first-quarter points and 24 first-half points in total, while holding the Cougars off the board in the first 30 minutes of play. The 2013 cap was lifted on scoring less than two minutes in to play, as sophomore Kirk Spencer hauled in an 11yard touchdown pass from junior Heath Parling with 13:09 to play in the first quarter. That came following an interception by senior Erik Thompson only a few plays in to the game near midfield, which he took back to the Azusa Pacific 13-yard line. After a three-and-out by the Laker defense on the ensuing Cougar drive, the offense put three more points on the board courtesy of the first career field goal by true freshman Joel Schipper, from 23 yards out to make it a 10-0 game with 9:38 to play in the opening quarter. GVSU added to the lead on the next drive, as junior Michael Ratay capped an 11-play, 63-yard drive with a six yard TD run to make it a 17-0 game late in the first quarter. Parling would add another touchdown pass at the 5:16 mark of the second quarter, finding Spencer with a 19-yard touchdown strike to make it 24-0, a lead the Lakers would carry in to the locker room. The Lakers opened up the second half with a scoring drive on nothing but run plays, punctuated by a touchdown dive from Chris Robinson from two yards out to make it a 31-0 game with 11:18 to play in the third quarter. The drive began on a short field after senior Reggie Williams took the opening kickoff of the second half back 83 yards to the Azusa Pacific 17-yard line. The Cougars then scored 17 straight points on their next three drives with two touchdown runs and a 37-yard field goal to make it a 31-17 game and draw within two scores. Any thoughts of a comeback were quickly thwarted by the next GVSU drive, however. Only three plays after the Cougar field goal, Ratay took a handoff up the middle and outraced the defense down the field for a 73-yard touchdown to make it 38-17 with 10:32 to play in the game, which is where the score would remain for the rest of the contest.

ALLENDALE, Mich. - The 10th-ranked Grand Valley State football team rolled up 565 yards of total offense and held Truman State to only 219 yards of total offense en route to a 31-15 victory in front of 10,696 fans at Lubbers Stadium. The story of the day for GVSU was big plays, as the Lakers racked up 12 plays over 20 yards on the day, including eight pass plays, five of which went to senior wide receiver Brandan Green. In the first quarter, GVSU had only one possession but made the most of it. After Truman State fielded the opening kickoff, the Bulldogs ate up nearly half the first quarter clock but were held off the board. The Lakers got the ball for the first time with only 7:35 to play in the first quarter and used only 2:11 on the clock to score. The five-play drive was keyed by a 39 yard pass from junior Isiah Grimes to Green and it was topped off with a two-yard touchdown run by junior Michael Ratay to make it 7-0 with 5:24 to play. Truman State answered on its next two drives, getting a 43-yard field goal from Derek Koon with 14:20 to play in the second quarter to make it 7-3, and after a three-and-out on the ensuing Laker drive, Koon booted a 26-yard field to make it a 7-6 game with 8:54 to play in the half. The Lakers gave themselves breathing room on the next drive, which began with a 51-yard pass from Grimes to Green down to the Truman State 23 yard line. Six rushes on the next seven plays resulted in a 1-yard touchdown plunge by Ratay with 4:53 to play in the half as GVSU led 14-6. The Bulldogs got on the board with another field goal with only a minute to play, as Koon booted a 45-yard field goal to cut the lead to 14-9 as the teams went in to the locker room at halftime. Truman State went in to halftime with 151 yards of total offense, while GVSU went in with 192. Those numbers would vary greatly in the second half, as Truman State managed only 68 yards of total offense in the entire second half, while GVSU had 373 yards in the second half. GVSU opened the second half with another scoring drive, as freshman Joel Schipper was good on a field goal from 21 yards out to make it 17-9 with 10:26 to play in the third quarter. After the Laker defense forced a three-and-out by Truman State, it took only four plays for GVSU to punch it in to the endzone again, another drive that was keyed by a long play from Grimes to Green, this time for 33 yards. Grimes then found sophomore Jamie Potts on a fade in the back corner of the endzone from three yards out to make the score 24-9 GVSU with 7:01 to play in the third. Truman State answered on the ensuing drive with a 9-play, 44-yard drive that ate up 4:38 of clock and ended with a touchdown pass from Conrad Schottel to Dallas Grier, the only touchdown of the game for the Bulldogs. At that point, the lead was 24-15 for GVSU with 2:23 left in the third quarter after the two-point conversion was batted down. The Lakers answered with a big play yet again on the next drive, as Grimes hit Green with a 61-yard touchdown strike on the second play of the drive to up the lead to 31-15 with 1:29 left in the third quarter. The fourth quarter would be a stalwart on the scoreboard, as the Lakers controlled the ball for 12:48 of the 15 minutes and nailed down the victory at 31-15.

ALLENDALE, Mich. - The 10th-ranked Grand Valley State football team used five first-half touchdowns to beat Tiffin in its GLIAC-opener on Saturday (Sept. 21) night in front of 10,761 fans at Lubbers Stadium on Military Appreciation Night, 4217. The Lakers are now 3-0 on the year and 1-0 in GLIAC play, while Tiffin falls to 0-3 with an 0-2 mark in the conference. On the second drive of the game for GVSU, the team reeled off a streak of what would be five straight touchdowns. With 9:39 to play in the first quarter, junior quarterback Isiah Grimes found sophomore tight end Jamie Potts for a 32-yard scoring strike to get the scoring started at 7-0. After the Lakers blocked a 36-yard field goal attempt by Tiffin on the ensuing drive, GVSU capitalized with another touchdown, keyed by a 50-yard pass from Grimes to senior Brandan Green on the second play of the drive. Junior Michael Ratay pounded the ball in front one yard out and freshman Joel Schipper put the extra point through to make it 14-0 with 1:42 to play in the first quarter. Tiffin threatened again on the following drive, driving down to the GVSU 15 yard line before senior Charles Hill forced a fumble that was recovered by freshman De'Ondre Hogan to thwart the drive. The Lakers capitalized again, this time keyed by a Grimes-to-Green 45 yard pass. On the final play of the drive, sophomore Kirk Spencer had an 11 yard run, then fumbled the ball straight up in to the air, but it was grabbed out of mid-air by wide receiver Darryl Pitts, who carried it two yards in to the endzone to make it a 21-0 game with 11:45 to play in the first half. It only took one play for GVSU to get the ball back again, as Deonte' Hurst picked off a Joey Frendo pass at the Tiffin 42 yard line, which he returned to Tiffin's 28. On the first play from scrimmage, Grimes found Potts on a wide open wheel route for the 28-yard touchdown and the Lakers led 28-0. The fifth straight GVSU touchdown came courtesy of a 42-yard Ratay touchdown run, his second of three on the day, to make it 35-0 with 7:52 to play in the first half. Tiffin got on the board on their next drive, as a touchdown pass from six yards out cut the lead to 35-6. The point after attempt rang off the right goal post and the two teams went in to halftime with the 35-6 score. GVSU had 372 yards of total offense in the first half, compared to only 167 for the Dragons. The Lakers were held off the board in the third quarter, while Tiffin got a 34-yard field goal from Seth Pekoe at the 5:57 mark of the quarter to make it a 35-9 game. The Dragons inched closer on their next drive when Antonio Pipkin found Jerry Brown on a short pass that he carried in to the endzone for a 25-yard touchdown. A two-point attempt was good and the Laker lead was cut to 35-17 after three quarters of play. The final score of the day came at the 6:11 mark of the fourth, when a drive that consisted of nine plays that included eight runs was punctuated with a Ratay two-yard touchdown plunge to make it 42-17 and put an end to the scoring.

ALLENDALE, Mich. - The 25th-ranked Grand Valley State football team showed its muscle on both sides of the ball on Saturday (Oct. 5) evening in front of 13,127 fans at Lubbers Stadium, rolling over Michigan Tech by a final score of 49-3. The Lakers moved to 4-1 overall on the season with a 3-1 mark in the GLIAC, while Michigan Tech falls to 2-2 overall with a 1-2 record in the conference. After forcing a Huskies punt on the first drive of the game, the Lakers offense took over and it looked as if junior quarterback Heath Parling was going to have a tough return at the helm, as he threw an interception on the first GVSU offensive play of the game. However, the Laker defense stepped up in a big way. On a short field, Michigan Tech was able to drive down to the Lakers' five yard line. After a stop from Charles Hill and Frank Boenzi pushed the ball back to the six and a stop by Luther Ware put the ball at the five, the Huskies opted to go for it on 4th and 1. The defensive end pair of Matt Mosley and Lucas Kozuch made the play that arguably set the tone for the game, however, stuffing MTU's fullback, Cole Welch, at the line of scrimmage to turn the ball over on downs. From there, GVSU started moving up and down the field and never looked back. On a 10-play, 95-yard drive that ate up 4:41 of the clock, Parling capped things off with a 34-yard screen pass to Kirk Spencer that only went about four yards down field. Spencer did the rest of the work, weaving through the Huskies defense en route to the opening score of the game as the Lakers went up 7-0 with 4:09 to play in the first quarter. After a Michigan Tech three-and-out, the Lakers saw an errant snap all but end their ensuing drive. Chris Picano then came on to punt and booted a high ball to the Michigan Tech 15 yard line, but returner Brett Gervais dropped it and Billy Seiler recovered, setting up the Lakers on a short field at the Michigan Tech 16 yard line. Six plays later, Parling hit freshman Joe Warner with a five yard touchdown pass to make it a 14-0 game with 11:50 to play in the second quarter. On the following drive, the Huskies were finally able to get on the board, as Garrett Mead booted through a 44-yard field goal with 9:05 to play in the second to make it a 14-3 contest. With 3:57 to play in the half, another special teams miscue by the Huskies led to more Laker points. On fourth and two, Erik Thompson rushed in on the punter and blocked the kick, as Deonte' Hurst picked the ball up and took it down to the one yard line of Michigan Tech. On the next play, Michael Ratay punched it in to make it a 21-3 Laker lead. The Lakers got the ball back again with 1:43 to play in the half and on their own 15, but Parling orchestrated a spectacular drive, going 85 yards on nine plays in only 1:19, capped with a 14-yard screen pass for a touchdown to Brandan Green. GVSU carried a 28-3 lead in to the locker room. At the half, the yardage was close as GVSU held a 248-193 offensive yardage edge, but one turnover on downs and one lost fumble were the difference for the Huskies. GVSU took the kickoff to begin the second half of play and picked up where they it left off, going 83 yards on only four plays, as Parling hit Darryl Pitts with a 35-yard strike to make it a 35-3 game. After a Michigan Tech three-and-out on the ensuing drive, the Lakers again punched one in the endzone, keyed by a drivestarting 48 yard run by Ratay. Chris Robinson finished it off with a one-yard over-the-top plunge to make it a 42-3 lead with 9:51 left in the third quarter. The final score came early in the fourth quarter, when Ben Hutchins ran in to a pile at the line of scrimmage, but spun out of it and went 60 yards for a touchdown to make it a 49-3 game and cap the scoring. Michigan Tech, which was ranked in the top 20 of Division II in total defense and pass efficiency defense, surrendered 507 offensive yards to the Lakers, led by Parling's 19-for-24 performace for 264 yards and four touchdowns to four different receivers.

Big Rapids, Mich. - Grand Valley State dropped a 54-44 decision at Ferris State Saturday night before a crowd of 4,958. GVSU drops to 4-2 overall and 2-2 in GLIAC action, while Ferris State improves to 4-2 overall and 3-1 in league action. The Lakers will host Northern Michigan next Saturday at Lubbers Stadium. Grand Valley State took the early lead lead following a fumble recovery by junior defensive lineman Isiah Dunning. The Lakers drove 52 yards in 14 plays, as freshman place kicker Joel Schipper kicked a 24 yard field goal. Junior QB Heath Parling hit junior RB Michael Ratay with a 19 yard pickup on fourth down to keep the drive alive. Ferris State tied the contest with a 27 yard field goal with 27 seconds left in the first quarter and then took the lead on a 22 yard pass completion from Jason Vanderlaan to DeWayne Boston. The GVSU defense came up big as senior safety Erik Thompson picked off a VanderLaan pass and returned it 20 yards to the Ferris State 39 yard line. Parling hit Ratay again on a fourth-and-eight play, followed by a 27 yard TD run by sophomore running back Kirk Spencer. Schipper added the PAT to tie the game at 10-10. Ferris State regained the lead midway through the second quarter and led 17-10 at the half. The Lakers lost a fumble on it opening possession of the second half on its own 30 yard line, but the defense stiffened and got the ball back as the Bulldogs failed on a fourth down attempt. Parling then drove the Lakers 70 yards in 10 plays as senior wide receiver Brandon Green took a handoff from Parling and went 20 yards for a TD. The Lakers failed on the PAT as the snap from center was dropped in the driving rain and FSU maintained a 17-16. Ferris State drove down the field and had first and goal on the GVSU two yard line, but the Laker defense held and forced a 22 yard field goal to up the lead to 20-16. Grand Valley State got the spark it was looking for as Kirk Spencer took the ensuing kickoff back 100 yards for a touchdown and Schipper added the PAT for a 23-20 Laker lead. Ferris State answered with back-to-back scoring drives, the first a 5-play, 81-yard drive as Kory Spring rambled in from 33 yards out and the second covering 77 yards in 10 plays as VanderLaan hit Jake Lampman with an 8-yard TD pass. The PAT was no good and the Bulldogs held a 33-23 lead with just over 10 minutes left in the game. Maybe one of the biggest plays of the night came on a tipped pass the Bulldogs returned 62 yards for a TD to build a 40-23 lead with 8:44 left in the game. GVSU would get no closer than 10 points the rest of the way. Parling hit Green with a 68-yard TD pass on a screen to pull GVSU within a 40-30 margin, Ratay scored on a 1-yard TD run and Parling hit Pitts with an 18-yard TD pass for the final score.

ALLENDALE, Mich. - It was an interesting homecoming game day for the Grand Valley State football team, as it claimed a 48-17 victory over Northern Michigan in a weather-shortened contest on Saturday (Oct. 19) evening in front of 13,391 fans at Lubbers Stadium. The victory moves the Lakers to 5-2 overall with a 3-2 record in the GLIAC. Northern Michigan falls to 1-5 both overall and in the conference. The game was called with 12:55 to play in the fourth quarter due to heavy lightning in the area and then the remainder of the contest was cancelled shortly after due to the weather forecast for the rest of the night. After consultation with the executive board of the GLIAC, the contest was considered final due to the score and time remaining at the point of cancellation. In only three quarters of play, the Lakers still managed to put up big numbers, rolling up 549 yards of total offense, including 309 yards on the ground with a 9.1 yards per carry average on 34 carries. GVSU scored on its first five possessions of the game to take charge early and never looked back. After forcing a three-and-out on NMU's opening drive, the Lakers started their march. Keyed by a 37-yard run by senior Brandan Green, the Lakers convered a 4th-andgoal from the Wildcat one yard line with a touchdown pass from Isiah Grimes to Joe Warner with 9:28 to play in the first quarter. After NMU punted to begin the second quarter, the Lakers promptly went back down the field with entirely run plays, getting 72 yards on six plays, capped by a 20-yard touchdown scamper from Chris Robinson to make it a 17-3 Laker lead. On the next GVSU drive, the Lakers got a pair of 28-yard runs, one from Michael Ratay and one from Hersey Jackson, to key another scoring drive. Ratay capped the drive off with an 11-yard run to put GVSU up 24-3 with 5:14 to play in the half. The Wildcats responded with a touchdown of their own on the ensuing drive to make it 24-10, but left 56 seconds on the clock for GVSU to operate. After a 13-yard pass to Ratay and a 38-yard pass to Green, the Lakers got within field goal range and Schipper ended the half with a 22-yard field goal to send the teams in to the locker room with GVSU up 27-10. On NMU's first drive of the second half, it only took two plays for the Lakers to take control of the ball again, as Erik Thompsin picked off a deep pass and returned it 27 yards back in to Wildcat territory. A 31-yard pass from Grimes to Jamie Potts put the Lakers on the one yard line a couple plays later, then Ratay punched the ball in to make it 34-10 with 10:24 to play in the third. The Wildcats got a blocked punt in the endzone with 7:02 to play in the third quarter to make it 34-17, but again GVSU responded. A 32-yard run by Ratay set up the Lakers in NMU territory, and Ben Hutchins finished the drive with a 23-yard touchdown run to put GVSU up 41-17 with 3:11 to play in the third quarter. After a Reggie Williams interception along the sideline on the ensuing Wildcat drive, Grimes found Green for a 42-yard gain on the first play of the Laker drive and a 15-yard pass to Joe Wirth turned in to another GVSU touchdown to make it a 48-17 game one play in to the fourth quarter. NMU took the kickoff and moved in to Laker territory, but with 12:55 to play in the game and at 9:24 p.m., lightning struck in the area and the game was suspended. After a nearly 30-minute delay, the remainder of the game was cancelled after consulting the weather radar for the remainder of the evening.

Midland, Mich. - Grand Valley State claimed a 23-17 road victory in rain and slop Saturday afternoon in Midland, Michigan. The Lakers improve to 6-2 overall and 4-2 in GLIAC action. The Laker defense got a couple of key fourth quarter stops and the offense put together a fourth quarter scoring drive with the game tied at 17. Northwood downed a punt at the GVSU 36 yard line with 6:30 remaining to set up the late game dramatics. Senior RB Michael Ratay started with an 11 yard run, followed by a two yard rush to set up a second and eight. Junior QB Isiah Grimes hit senior WR Brandan Green with a screen pass that he took 48 yards to the Northwood three. Ratay then finished the drive with a 3 yard TD run to give GVSU a 23-17 lead. On the PAT freshman PK Joel Schipper hit a low kick that hit the cross bar and went over. However, the officials ruled that it in fact did not go over and the lead stayed a 23-17. Northwood drove 50 yards in 14 plays, converting three third downs and a fourth down. However, facing a fourth-and-10 Northwood QB Mark Morris' pass fell incomplete behind a big push from the GVSU defensive line. Ratay picked up a first down to secure the win. Northwood got on the board first, driving 42 yards in seven plays for a 37 yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead with 4:00 left in the first quarter. GVSU got on the board with a 13-play, 62-yard drive that took 6:04 off the clock. Schipper hit a 27 yard field goal to tie the game at 3-3 early in the second quarter, but Northwood blocked a GVSU punt and took over deep in Laker territory. Morris hit Carrington Thompson with a 9 yard TD pass to give the Timberwolves a 10-3 lead. Michael Ratay rambled 87 yards to the Northwood five, but GVSU was unable to push the ball across the goal line and was stopped on downs. GVSU moved inside Northwood territory late in the first half, but Grimes was picked off in the endzone to thwart the scoring opportunity. The second half started in a driving rain storm and GVSU took over on its own seven yard line following a penalty on the kickoff. Grimes hit junior WR Darryl Pitts with a key third down completion for 16 yards and Ratay ripped off a 21 yard run into NU territory. Green finished the drive with a 28 yard jet sweep run and Schipper tied the game with the PAT. The drive was the second longest scoring drive of the year for GVSU. Northwood drove deep into Laker territory, but Devonte Jones picked off a pass at the goal line. However, on the return Jones fumbled and Northwood recovered the ball to take over possession on the GVSU 14 yard line. Northwood scored need just five five plays to go the 14 yards as Glenn Winston scored on a one yard run. The Laker offense answered with a 10-play, 76-yard drive that took 5:24 off the clock. Raty scored on a one yard run and Schipper added the PAT to tie the game at 17-17. Grimes hit Green with a 47 yard completion that put the Lakers on the Northwood 15 yard line to set up Ratay's touchdown.

ALLENDALE, Mich. - The Grand Valley State football team used an extremely balanced offense and second-half defensive dominance to key the Lakers to a big 31-21 GLIAC victory over visiting Hillsdale on Saturday (Nov. 2) evening. GVSU got 269 yards rushing and 298 yards passing (567 total) on the game and held the Charger offense to only 104 total yards of offense in the second half, including only 22 rushing yards, as the Lakers picked up the victory in front of 8,129 fans on a rainy night at Lubbers Stadium. The Lakers move to 7-2 overall with a 5-2 record in the GLIAC, while Hillsdale falls to 4-5 overall with a 4-3 mark in the conference. GVSU will travel to Wayne State for a 12 p.m. tilt against the Warriors next Saturday (Nov. 9). Hillsdale got on the board first in the contest, going 80 yards on 10 plays after the opening kickoff, 68 of which came on the ground, punctuated by a four-yard touchdown with 11:22 to play in the opening stanza. After the two teams exchanged punts, the Lakers were able to tie the game up at seven with a six-yard touchdown run by junior Chris Robinson with 4:54 to play in the first quarter. The Chargers responded with another touchdown on their ensuing drive, finished with an eight-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter to make it 14-7 Hillsdale. Again, however, GVSU responded. Keyed by a 33-yard run from Robinson, junior Michael Ratay punched it in from a yard out with 12:23 to play in the second quarter to tie the game at 14. Hillsdale again sustained another drive on their next possession, using up 5:20 of the clock on a 11-play, 67-yard drive that ended with a three-yard touchdown run to make it 21-14 Chargers with 7:03 to play in the first half, a lead Hillsdale would take in to the locker room. The Chargers outgained the Lakers in the first half, 263 to 231, but the tables turned after the two teams came out for the second half of play. After a fake field goal by GVSU was snuffed out by Hillsdale on the Lakers' opening drive of the second half, GVSU forced a three-and-out and rebounded in a big way. Junior Heath Parling hit senior Brandan Green with a 49-yard strike to open the drive, and Ratay went in from 10 yards out to tie the game up at 21 with 7:08 to play in the third. The Lakers forced another Charger punt on their next drive and proceeded to take the ball down inside the Hillsdale five yard line, but a fumble at the goal-line gave the ball back to the Chargers as the third quarter ended. The fourth quarter opened with pressure on the Hillsdale QB and an intentional grounding call that backed the Chargers up deep in their own territory on fourth down. A 20-yard punt return by senior Reggie Williams then set the Lakers up with good field position, which they capitalized on with a 19-yard touchdown pass from Parling to Jamie Potts to give the Lakers their first lead of the game, 28-21. GVSU forced another three-and-out on the ensuing drive and extended the lead to 31-21 with a 28-yard field goal from freshman Joel Schipper that bounced in off the right goalpost with 7:13 to play in the game. Two plays in to the Hillsdale drive, the Laker defense came up with a big play, as Luther Ware forced a fumble near midfield that was recovered by Williams to give the ball back to the Lakers. After some time was run off the clock on the Laker drive, Hillsdale got the ball back with 2:53 to play, but a sack by Ware on 4th-and-6 from the GVSU 36-yard line ended the drive with only 31 seconds left on the clock.

Detroit, Mich. - Grand Valley State picked up a key GLIAC road win at Wayne State Saturday in Detroit, Michigan. The Lakers, 8-2 overall and 6-2 in GLIAC action, used a balanced attack offensively and an opportunistic defense en route to the 34-20 win. GVSU, sixth in the most recent NCAA DII Super Region 4 rankings, will entertain Saginaw Vallye State next Saturday (Nov. 16) at Lubbers Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Grand Valley State took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards in seven plays for a score on its opening possession. Junior QB Heath Parling hit sophomore tight end Jamie Potts with a 19 yard TD pass to conclude a drive that took 4:09 off the clock. Parling was 3-for-3 for 69 yards on the drive. The Laker defense, which allowed just 24 yards in the opening quarter on six plays, set the offense up late in the first quarter and on a third and four play Parling hit senior WR Brandan Green with a slip screen pass Green went 82 yards for a touchdown. The drive was three plays for 88 yards and took just 53 seconds. Freshman place kicker Joel Schipper added his second PAT for a 14-0 Laker lead. Wayne State answered with an 85 yard kickoff return by Val Showers, but the GVSU special teams came up with a big play. Freshman LB Marquez Gollman recovered a fumbled Wayne State punt at the Warrior 20 yard line. The Lakers were unable to pick up a first down, but Schipper connected on a 30 yard field goal to up the GVSU lead to 17-7. Special teams play came up big late in the second quarter as junior DL Frank Boenzi blocked a Wayne State field goal attempt that senior LB Jordan Kaufman picked up and returned 56 yards for a touchdown to up the lead to 24-7 heading into the lockerrom at the half. Wayne State opened the second half with a 8-play, 66-yard drive that took 4:18 off the clock as Michael Johnson raced in from 18 yards to close within 10 points (24-14). The Laker offense answered with an impressive 11-play, 82-yard drive that took 4:37 off the clock. Parling hit junior WR Darryl Pitts with a key seven yard completion on third down and later hit Potts with a 28-yard completion on third down. Sophomore RB Ben Hutchins went the final seven yards for the TD to give GVSU a 31-14 lead. Following an interception by senior SS Erik Thompson the Lakers drove 54 yards in 10 plays for a Schipper kicked a 23 yard field goal to give GVSU a 34-14 lead. Wayne State scored a late touchdown against the Laker second defensive unit.

ALLENDALE, Mich. - In a game that Grand Valley State needed to have to keep its season alive, the Lakers responded with a huge performance, using a third-quarter explosion to take down rival Saginaw Valley State, 49-34 on Saturday (Nov. 16) afternoon. The Lakers entered the game ranked fifth in the latest Super Region 4 rankings, while SVSU was in the third spot with the top six teams in the rankings making the playoffs. In front of 11,888 fans at Lubbers Stadium, a number that resulted in a new single-season attendance record at GVSU, the Lakers moved to 9-2 on the season with a 7-2 mark in the GLIAC. The Cardinals fall to 9-2 overall and take their first loss in conference play, moving to 9-1. SVSU struck first in the game, driving the opening kickoff down to the Laker seven yard line and converting a 24-yard field goal to go up 3-0. The Lakers responded with a touchdown, as a 31-yard run by Brandan Green and a 28-yard touchdown pass from Heath Parling to Jamie Potts put the Lakers on the board, 7-3, with 8:28 to play in the first quarter. The Cardinals got a second field goal on their ensuing drive, this time from 37 yards out, to cut the lead to 7-6 with 2:53 to play in the opening stanza. Only four minutes in to the second quarter, the Cardinals took the lead back, as Jonathon Jennings scrambled in from 19 yards away to give SVSU a 13-7 lead with 11:06 to play in the half. GVSU put together a six-play, 75-yard scoring drive on its next possession, keyed by 23 and 28-yard catches from Darryl Pitts. The drive ended with a sixyard touchdown reception by Potts, his second of the game, to put the Lakers up 14-13 with 7:50 to play in the first half. Again the Cardinals responded, using a long 13-play, 73-yard drive to take the lead back at 20-14 with another Jennings rush, this time from 14 yards out. SVSU led 20-14 with 2:56 to play in the half, but it would be the last time in the game that they held a lead. With only 24 seconds to play in the half, the Lakers ran a play-action pass and Parling found Joe Wirth in the middle of the endzone for a seven-yard scoring strike to put the Lakers back on top, 21-20. SVSU would drive the ball down to the Laker 36 yard line on their ensuing drive, but a 53-yard field goal from Scott Stanford sailed wide left as time expired on the half. In the first half, Parling was 9-for-14 for 149 yards and three touchdowns to lead GVSU to the halftime lead. The Lakers received the ball to start the second half and wasted no time extending their lead, as Chris Robinson trucked in from nine yards out to make it a 28-20 game only a couple minutes in to the second half. Holding a 28-27 lead with 9:05 to play in the third quarter, GVSU's Erik Thompson received a short kickoff at the GVSU 24 yard line, then raced up the middle and all the way in to the endzone for a 76 yard kick return touchdown to make it 35-27. It was the second time in three years and the second straight home game against SVSU that Thompson returned a kick for a touchdown, as a 100 yard return in 2011 sprung the Lakers to victory in the season finale. On the next Cardinal drive, GVSU special teams came up with another huge play, as Alton Voss broke through the wall of defenders on a punt and took the ball right off the punter's foot for the block and recovery, setting the Lakers up on the SVSU 24 yard line. One play later, Parling pitched a ball out to Kirk Spencer on the right side, and on the only touch Spencer would have in the game, he took it to the house, extending the lead to 42-27 GVSU with 7:33 to play in the third quarter. SVSU would take the ball and drive down to the GVSU 21 yard line on the next drive, but a fourth-and-seven play would get sniffed out when Isiah Dunning sacked Jennings to turn the ball back over to the Lakers. Maybe the biggest play of a game full of big plays came from Potts on the following GVSU drive. On a second-and-10 from the Cardinal 45 yard line, Parling tossed a pass up the sideline to Potts, who had his right arm being held by the defender. Potts reached out with his left arm, and while falling to the ground, hauled in the 41 yard pass at the SVSU four yard line. Three plays later, GVSU was in the endzone again, as Robinson punched it in from a yard out to make it 49-27 with 14:51 to play in the game. SVSU would get another touchdown on the next drive, going 74 yards in 17 plays, but taking over six minutes off the clock, as they made it a 49-34 game. From there, an interception and a fourth down stop from the Lakers nailed down the victory as the Cardinals could not get any closer. The two teams were nearly equal in their scoring output for three quarters, but it was a 21-point third quarter that led the Lakers to the win. Even though the Cardinals had 573 yards of total offense, the opportunistic Laker defense became the first team to hold Jennings, a Harlon Hill Award semifinalist, without a touchdown pass this season.

ALLENDALE, Mich. - For the second straight week, the Grand Valley State football team was on the winning end against its rival, Saginaw Valley State, although this time it was in the NCAA Division II Playoffs. The Lakers put the rout on, downing the Cardinals 40-7 in Lubbers Stadium on Saturday (Nov. 23) afternoon. The victory sends GVSU to the second round of the playoffs, where the team will face Colorado State-Pueblo on Saturday (Nov. 30) at a time to be determined in Pueblo, Colo. The forecast called for wind and snow and the weatherman proved to be correct as the kickoff temp was 21 degrees with wind out of the Northwest at 23 mph. SVSU won the toss and elected to take the second half kickoff so the Lakers would get the ball to start the game, but they would be heading directly into the wind. GVSU went three-and-out and following a 10 yard punt the Cardinals took over on the GVSU 35 yard line. The GVSU defense forced a field goal attempt and the 51 yard attempt went wide left allowing GVSU to take over on its 34 yard line. Following a second three-and-out for the Laker offense SVSU drove into Laker territory once again, but junior DB Deonte Hurst picked off a Jonathon Jennings pass on the GVSU 12 yard line. The Lakers drove 88 yards in seven plays, with the big play being a 53 yard jaunt to paydirt by WR Brandan Green on a reverse to give GVSU a 6-0 lead. "Obviously getting that early lead was key and what made it bigger was we got defensive stops inside out 35 and then scored going into the wind," said fourth-year head coach Matt Mitchell. Following a Cardinal three-and-out and a 61 yard punt, GVSU took over possession on its own 13 yard line. Junior RB Chris Robinson tallied a 34 yard run to get the Lakers into good field position and junior QB Heath Parling hit Green with a key 10 yard pass completion on third-and-seven to keep the drive alive. The drive stalled, but freshman place kicker Joel Schipper hit a 35 yard field with the wind and GVSU led 9-0. Saginaw drove to the Laker 12 yard line with a 14-play, 66-yard drive, but the GVSu held and forced yet another field goal attempt. Stanford's kick from 29 yards went wide left again and the Lakers took over on their own 20. The GVSU offense wasted little time, moving 80 yards in five plays for a score. Parling hit junior WR Keonte Miskel with a 17 yard pass and catch, followed by consecutive completions of 13 and 23 yards to junior WR Darryl Pitts. Parling concluded the drive with a pass to junior RB Chris Robinson out of the backfield that he took 27 yards for the touchdown. Schipper added the PAT for a 16-0 halftime lead for the Lakers. Saginaw Valley State drove 36 yards in eight plays on its opening drive of the second half, but the GVSU defense held the Cardinals on a third and three and a fourth and one at the Laker 35 yard line. "It was big to get that touchdown late in the first half and build a two-score lead," said Mitchell. "We knew our defense would be put under stress in the second half, but we came up big with that fourth down stop," added Mitchell. The Laker defense flipped field position and sophomore tight end Jamie Potts, who was punting for the injured Chris Picano, dropped a 55 yard punt out of bounds at the Cardinal seven. Following a SVSU punt, GVSU drove 36 yards in 11 plays as Schipper connected on a 27 yard field goal to give GVSU a 19-0 lead with 3:17 left in the third quarter. Parling continued to move the Laker offense, driving GVSU 66 yards in nine plays for a score. Parling hit Pitts with completions of 19 and 17 yards, the second going for a TD and a 26-0 GVSU lead. Saginaw Valley State scored its only points on a Jennings to Mike Albrecht 41-yard pass and catch. SVSU turned the ball over and Parling took advantage quickly, hitting Green with a 20-yard TD pass. Jenning then tossed his third pick of the day as senior LB Jordan Kaufman stepped in front of a hurried throw and returned it 32 yards to the SVSU 30. The Cardinals were called for personal foul on the play, advancing the ball to the 15. Four runs by Robinson moved the ball to the Cardinal two and junior QB Isiah Grimes hit senior WR Billy Seiler with a TD pass and the final points in the 40-7 win. Saginaw Valley State entered the game averaging 40.5 points and 492 yards of total offense. The Lakers limited SVSU to seven points and 307 total yards on 60 plays. TEAM STATISTICS

Pueblo, Colo. - #22 Grand Valley State overcame a 16-0 first quarter deficit to claim a 34-30 NCAA DII Second-Round playoff game road victory over Colorado State-Pueblo Saturday afternoon. GVSU (11-2) will now host West Texas A&M next Saturday (Dec. 7) at a time to be determined. #3 CSU finishes the 2013 campaign 11-1. Colorado State-Pueblo scored on three of its first four possession and GVSU had -26 yards after their first three drives. However, GVSU would get on the board late in the first quarter as junior QB Heath Parling directed a 4play, 68-yard drive for a TD. Parling hit sophomore tight end Jamie Potts with a 40 yard touchdown, but the PAT was missed and the Thunderwolves led 16-6. The Lakers scored 21 second quarter point, the first coming on a Parling to Kirk Spencer swing pass out of the backfield that covered 15 yards and freshman place kicker Joel Schipper added the PAT to pull the Lakers within three (16-13). Colorado State answered with a 10-play, 75-yard drive to up its lead to 23-13, but the Lakers would dominate the rest of the half. GVSU moved 75 yards in eight plays as Parling hit WR Darryl Pitts with an 18 yard TD pass and with just 22 seconds left in the first half Parling hit Pitts again, this one covering five yards and the Lakers had a 27-23 lead at the half. Colorado State-Pueblo took a 30-27 lead midway through the third quarter, but the Laker offense would answer again, covering 67 yards in four plays. Parling hit senior WR Brandan Green with a 47 yards completion, then on third and 12 Parling connected with junior TE Joe Wirth with a 22 yard touchdown. The Laker defense held in the fourth quarter as sophomore safety Brad Horling picked off a Chris Bonner pass and then with under three minutes left in the game and CSP on the GVSU 16 yard line the GVSU defense got a fourth down stop. Kirk Spencer sealed the win with an 18 yard run on first down and with the Lakers facing a third and three Spencer busted through the line for a 57 yard run to the CSP two. GVSU outgained Thunderwolves 446-408, despite running 12 few plays. Parling completed 16-of-28 passes for 316 yards and five TDs. Spencer toted the ball 15 times for 137 yards, while Chris Robinson added 38 yards on 14 carries. Potts hauled in six catches for 123 yards and one TD, Pitts four for 44 yards and two TDs and Green two for 68. Deonte Hurst led the defensve with eight tackles, a QB sack (-5) and 1.5 TFL (-7). Isiah Dunning added six tackles and a QB sack, while Eric Thompson and Charles Hill each tallied six stops. Reggie Williams recorded four pass deflections.

ALLENDALE, Mich. - The Grand Valley State football team is back in the NCAA Division II Football Playoff Semifinals after the Lakers picked up a 35-28 victory over West Texas A&M on Saturday (Dec. 7) afternoon at Lubbers Stadium. The Lakers will now face a familiar playoff foe in Northwest Missouri State on Saturday, December 14th, at a time and place to be determined. The host school and time will be determined later tonight. GVSU moves to 12-2 overall on the season, while West Texas A&M finishes the year with an 11-3 record. A clutch second half performance on defense by GVSU, in which the Lakers allowed only 124 yards of total offense, keyed a comefrom-behind victory, as the Lakers trailed 28-14 at halftime. West Texas A&M, which rolled up 310 yards of total offense in the first half, was dominated in the second half by the GVSU defense. Three third-quarter interceptions by the defense and three third-quarter touchdowns by the offense kept the Lakers' season alive. In the first quarter, the Buffaloes took their first two drives in to the endzone to get out to a quick 14-0 lead only 10 minutes in to the game. The Lakers got on the scoreboard with 2:25 to play in the first quarter, as a screen pass to Brandan Green went 36 yards for the score to cut the lead to 14-7. West Texas A&M kept rolling on offense, however, finding the endzone again only three minutes in to the second quarter to go back up by two touchdowns, 21-7. Again, GVSU had an answer, needing only two plays following an Erik Thompson 47-yard kickoff return, the scoring play being a 46yard shovel pass for a score to Kirk Spencer with 11:47 to play to make it 21-14. The fourth touchdown pass of the first half from Dustin Vaughan on the ensuing West Texas A&M drive again put the lead back up to two scores, at 28-14 with 6:10 to play in the half, and the teams would go in to the locker rooms with that score. The Buffaloes were in control in the first half, with 310 total offensive yards, including 293 through the air with four touchdowns. The biggest stat in the half was West Texas A&M going 9-for-11 on third down opportunities. In the second half, however, the tables turned, and the Laker defense controlled the game. After the Lakers began the third quarter with a fourth down two-yard touchdown pass to Joe Wirth to cut the lead to 28-21, a Deonte' Hurst interception on 3rd-and-3 was brought back to the Buffaloes' 37 yard line. Five plays later, the score was tied, as Spencer rumbled in from 12 yards out to tie the game at 28 with 8:17 to play in the third quarter. On the next West Texas A&M drive, pressure from the Laker defensive line forced an overthrow, and DeVonte' Jones picked off the pass near midfield to give the ball back to GVSU. The Lakers were able to cash in again, as Heath Parling found a diving Jamie Potts with a 16-yard touchdown pass to give GVSU its first lead of the game, 35-28, with 3:27 to play in the third quarter. Earlier in the drive, GVSU faced a 4th-and6 from the West Texas A&M 34-yard line, but a fake punt was snapped to tight end Alton Voss, who ran for 18 yards and the first down to keep the drive alive. It took only one play from scrimmage for GVSU to get the ball back again, as Reggie Williams made a diving pick on the first play of the Buffaloes' drive, giving GVSU the ball back near midfield again with its third interception in West Texas A&M's last seven pass attempts. The defense was relied upon in the fourth quarter, and they were up to the task, forcing two West Texas A&M punts, an incomplete pass on fourth down inside the GVSU 10-yard line, and a missed field goal. The Lakers took over with 2:13 to play and after West Texas A&M stopped the clock after the first two plays, GVSU faced a 3rd-and-7 with about two minutes to play. Parling then took the snap, rolled right, and took off for a 12 yard gain to salt the game away and send the Lakers to the national semifinals. It was the fourth straight week that the Laker defense faced a Harlon Hill semifinalist at quarterback, with West Texas A&M's Vaughan being one of the final eight candidates for the award. The Lakers defeated all of them, however, beating Saginaw Valley State's Jonathon Jennings twice and Colorado State-Pueblo's Dustin Bonner last week. TEAM STATISTICS

NW Missouri State will play Lenior Ryne next Saturday (Dec. 21) in the DII National Championship game in Florence, Alabama.

Northwest Missouri State answered, driving 80 yards in nine plays as sophomore QB Brady Boles went the final six yards for the TD and Ben Trewyn added the PAT for a 7-6 Bearcat lead. NWMS fumbled at the GVSU one yard line and senior safety Erik Thompson picked it up and returned it to the GVSU 15 yard line. GVSU then drove 68 yards in 14 plays on a drive that took 5:44 off the clock. Schippper was wide right on a 34-yard attempt into the wind. NW Missouri State kicked a 19 yard field goal as time expired in the second quarter to complete a 10play, 78-yard drive that took 2:24 off the clock. Northwest Missouri State drove 84 yards in six plays for a score on its first drive of the second half to take a 17-6 lead.

Grand Valley State answered with an 8-play, 77-yard touchdown drive as Parling hit sophomore tight end Jamie Potts with a 4-yard TD pass. Schippers's PAT cut the Bearcat lead to 20-13. The Bearcats added a 43 yard TD from Trevor Anderson to Reuben Thomas to seal the game.

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. 2014 will bring much of the same. The Lakers have led the nation in attendance for third consecutive years, drawing 91,045 in nine home games (10,116). The field was lowered by eight feet and the track surrounding the field was removed prior to the 2012 campaign. Four rows of seats were installed and wrap around the field to accentuate the horseshoe that added about 2,000 seats. A grass slope also was also installed on the north side of the field underneath the video board, which will move the band to the southeast corner of the stadium. The finished project, which includes the installation of an artificial turf playing surface, will bring the capacity up to about 10,444 For the 2011 season, the stadium saw a renovated student section with a permanent bathroom and concession building located behind. In addition, the home sideline stands have been wrapped in blue acrylic for a more comfortable experience, while a new stadium sound system has been installed on top of the scoreboard. A Daktronics scoreboard with a ProStar video display board was added for the 2005 season. Two seating sections were added to each end of the west side stands to accomadate the overflow crowds that have been a part of Lubbers Stadium since 2001. The Lakers moved all of their football operations into the GVSU Football Center and the Rob Odejewski Weight Room in 2002. The Football Center includes a stateof-the-art locker room, equipment room, the Todd Jager training room and meeting rooms. The design doubled the size of the former building in the north end zone by adding

LUBBERS STADIUM over 4,000 square feet (2,000 sqaure feet on each side). Permanent lighting, a new playing surface, and six executive suites located on each side of the press box are additions added in the last seven years. The student seating area, which moved to south endzone in 1998, has created unmatched excitment among the student body. The student seating section has increased in capacity from 3,300 with the new bleachers. The Laker student seating section is routinely filled to capacity with the overflow moving into every open area available. The Lakers set a Lubbers Stadium and GLIAC single-game on-campus record in 2009 as 16,467 fans watched Grand Valley State claim a 38-7 victory over Saginaw Valley State. GVSU set a GLIAC single-season attendance record in 2008 as 64,511 fans watched five Laker home games at Lubbers Stadium for an average of 12,902 per game. The Lakers ranked second in total attendance (73,639) and regular season average (12,902) among DII schools for the season. Three of the Lakers’ top 10 all-time single-game crowds and four of the top 16 came during the 2008 regular season. GVSU played before crowds of 14,612 (Ferris State), 14,161 (Hillsdale), 13,302 (Indianapolis), 12,405 (Michigan Tech) and 10,132 (Ashland) in five regular season dates. Grand Valley State has recorded sellouts in 47-ofthe-last-52 regular season games since 2004 and 58-of-64 since 2002. Designed with the future in mind, the stadium can have permanent seating added when needed, with ultimate expansion to 20,000 seats. The stadium and track complex was dedicated on September 15, 1979, and named in honor of former Grand Valley State president, Arend D. Lubbers. Lubbers was instrumental in raising more than $700,000 toward the $1,050,000 project. The majority of the cost was offset by gifts from GVSU football fans and private donors. The original Lubbers Stadium was built around the existing football field of Prescription Athletic Turf (PAT). The field, which is drained and heated by more than seven

STORIED TRADITION
Grand Valley State was one of only a handful of colleges and universities which began playing football in the 1970’s. According to NCAA records, the Lakers have been one of the most successful of all collegiate squads to take the field during that time period. Laker football has been a key element of Grand Valley’s rise from a small college to a regional university. President Arend D. Lubbers began the push for a team when he arrived in 1969. A year later, a Laker junior varsity team took the field. Then, in the fall of 1971, the Lakers kicked off their first varsity season. “It was clear that Grand Valley was changing from a commuter college, to a residential school in need of activities such as music, drama, and athletics,” Lubbers recalled. “Football gave us the anchor, something you could build your weekend around.” The Origin of the Program Lubbers came to Grand Valley from Central College in Pella, Iowa, which had a successful football tradition. He hired Zeeland native Ron Schipper, who had been at Central for 33 years, played in three national finals, and won one national championship. “I was used to success at Central College, so when we started at Grand Valley, I wanted to have a successful program instead of throwing the ball out and saying, ‘O.K. boys, it doesn’t matter whether we win or not.’” But despite Lubbers’ success at Central College, it took almost nine years before Grand Valley had the total package. The First Varsity Team
With blessing from the Board of Control, GV launched its football program to play a junior varsity schedule in 1970 and became varsity in 1971. On March 24, 1970, Lubbers, along with athletic director Charles H. Irwin, announced the hiring of Robert “Rip” Collins, a successful high school coach at Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills. Success didn’t come quickly for the Lakers, and it took almost three years to win a football game. Collins was unable to get the program off to a successful start after going 0-13 and being outscored 534-58 in 1971 and 1972. Harkema Begins the Tradition E. James Harkema took over as head coach in January of 1973, coming to GV from Northern Illinois where he was an offensive backfield coach. Also awaiting Harkema was a brand new football field constructed in 1972 which featured the first “prescription athletic turf”
(PAT) football playing surface in the country. It was ironic that Harkema opened the 1973 campaign against his alma mater Kalamazoo College, where he won 10 varsity letters and led the Hornets to six MIAA championships. John Mahan rushed 26 times for 158 yards and Steve Brems added 122 more to lead GV to its first football victory in its season opener at home, a 27-14 win over Kalamazoo. Defensive tackle Bryce Berth and offensive guard Tom Tefft were named the offensive and defensive players of the game. To prove it was not fluke, the Lakers did it again the following week with Mahan rushing for 147 yards and Brems adding 138 as GV defeated Chicago Circle 40-8 in a night game played at Soldier Field in Chicago. Grand Valley outscored opponents 259-120 and posted their first winning season. 1973 marked the start of the great football tradition at Grand Valley, and during the next 10 years under Harkema they would post a 68-29-1 record, win three Great Lakes Conference football championships and make one trip to the NAIA playoffs. Also during that period, a number of Lakers would begin careers in professional football. Jim Schaap and Tom Tefft, 1971-73, were the first Lakers to sign professional football contracts when they signed with the Detroit Wheels of the World Football League in 1974, setting the stage for a number of GV football alums to follow into the National Football League during that period. They include Gary Evans 1975-77 (New York Jets), Ron Essink 1976-79 (Seattle Seahawks), Ron Rubick 1978-81 (Detroit Lions), Steve Michuta 1979-81 (Cleveland Browns), and Jeff Chadwick 1980-82 (Detroit Lions). Many Laker followers feel that the 1975 team, with a 7-2-1 record, may have set the standards for many years to come. After dropping a hard fought 15-6 contest to Wayne State, which also included the loss of their quarterback Scott VanDyken for the season, the Lakers bounced back to shutout Ferris State, 38-0, for their first win over the Bulldogs, defeat Saginaw Valley and Hillsdale, tie Northwood, and lose on a trick play to Northern Michigan, 2117. 1976 was the year Grand Valley would receive national attention in more ways than one. It all started at Michigan Tech when Roger McCoy was credited with a 39-yard field goal although the ball never cleared the crossbar. Instead, the ball hit a public address wire some 50 feet in the air and the ball dropped straight down in front of the goal posts. A lengthy deliberation following was dominated by Michigan Tech coach Jim Kapp, who brought the ground rule to the attention of the officials, that if that ball should hit the wire in flight, the down should be replayed. Kapp’s appeal was denied on the basis that he forgot to tell Grand Valley or the officials before the start of the game that the rule existed, and because the field goal was allowed, the Lakers walked away with a 10-8 victory. McCoy had set a GVSU record with a 60-yard field goal the previous week against Grand Rapids JC at Houseman Field. The Lakers get on the Map The game which put Grand Valley on the map was the season finale against Northern Michigan. The Wildcats came into Allendale as defending champions, boasting an 18-game winning streak, ranked No. 1 in Division II and fresh off an 82-7 whipping of Nebraska-Omaha. ABC television sent a crew to feature Northern Michigan, but it was the Lakers, playing 21 seniors who built up a 24-0 lead and went on to shock the Wildcats 31-14 before the then largest crowd in GV history at the time.

STORIED TRADITION Reflections of that game even hit the state legislature, when the Representative Dominic Jacobetti of Neguanee vowed he would eat a pasties’ box if Northern were to lose. Although humbled, Jacobetti was true to his word, and ate a piece of cake looking like a pasties’ box that was furnished by Grand Valley president Don Lubbers. Grand Valley Dominates the GLIAC Harkema’s teams had traditionally been built around defense and a solid running game. In 1977 he decided to go to the air and with senior quarterback Roy Gonzalez at the helm, a transfer from Toledo, the Lakers took to the air and won the first of three Great Lakes Conference Championships in a five year period. Gonzalez was followed by quarterbacks David Quinley, Steve Michuta, and Jeff Lynch, who gave GV the most feared passing in the GLIAC. They were also blessed with outstanding receivers in Clint Nash, Michael Woods, Rubick Chadwick, and Bill Lucksted as the Lakers averaged seven wins a year from 1977-82. Argument still exists over Harkema’s most successful team. The 1976 club, despite an 8-2 record, and posting the biggest victory in the school’s history, finished second in the GLIAC and missed the NAIA playoffs.
The First Playoff Year In 1978 with Quinley at the controls, the Lakers suffered early 49-22 and 49-3 losses to Northern Michigan and Bowling Green, but bounced back to win eight straight games including a repeat of the GLIAC title and an NCAA playoff victory over WisconsinLaCrosse. The team lost at Elon (NC) College 14-7 in the semifinals of the NAIA playoffs and closed out with a 9-3 record, the most wins in GV history at the time. The 1981 season was similar to 1978 when the Lakers lost 21-20 to Northern Iowa and 29-28 to Northern Michigan, but bounced back to dominate the GLIAC and win their third title despite a rash of injuries which devastated the club. The Lakers Earn a New Stadium The Grand Valley football package was completed when the stadium and track complex named after its president, Arend D. Lubbers, was dedicated on September 15, 1979. The majority of these gifts included contributions from Laker football fans and private donors. The stadium was built around the existing PAT field with permanent seating for 4,146 fans. Beside the stadium/track complex, the new practice fields and the new Fieldhouse, which replaced the Dome in 1982, gave GV one of the finest Division II facilities in the Midwest. Harkema was on his way to building another winner when he accepted the head coaching job at Eastern Michigan. He resigned in November 1982 and was replaced by Bob Giesey, Ball State assistant, in December of 1982. Giesey’s team lost the final two games of the season by two points, 31-30 to Northwood and 15-14 to Saginaw Valley to finish 4-6. The roof caved in the following year and GV went 0-10 and managed only 99 points for the season. Beck Turns GVSU into a Winner Again Giesey resigned and Athletic Director Dr. George MacDonald began a nationwide search which climaxed with the hiring of Tom Beck, a Chicago native, who came to Grand Valley from the Chicago Blitz of the United States Football League and who had turned losing programs into winning ones at Illinois Benedictine

and Elmhurst College. It took Beck three games to get back on track in 1985. Faced with a 14-game losing streak, Beck made some key personnel changes. Beck installed Guy Schuler at quarterback and moved wide receiver Ray Buckner to tailback, linebacker Sylvester Johnson to fullback, and defensive tackle Brian Mulcahy to middle linebacker. The Lakers went out and defeated Evansville 28-14 and finished the year 6-5. The next five years would see explosive offenses, outstanding players and solid coaching which would result in trips to the NCAA Division II playoffs, as well as the Lakers becoming a fixture in preseason and postseason rankings. Beck’s 1986 team posted a 9-2 record, but that was only an inkling of this to come.
Undefeated in 1989 After a pair of 7-4 seasons in 1987 and 1988, the Lakers posted their first undefeated regular season with an 11-0 record and the final Great Lakes Conference Championship in 1989. GV led Division II in total offense, averaging 480.9 yards per game and also in points with 44.5. One of the highlights of the 1989 season was GVSU’s record breaking 91-0 victory over Valparaiso. The Lakers jumped out to a 56-0 halftime lead as they rolled up 731 yards in total offense. Freshman kicker Miguel Sagaro from Spain set a Division II record when he connected on 65 of 66 extra points for the season and sophomore fullback Eric Lynch scored 21 touchdowns. Lynch went on to begin an outstanding career with the Detroit Lions. Grand Valley finished third in the final 1989 Division II poll and earned the first of three consecutive playoff berths, losing to Indiana, PA, 34-24 on a frigid November afternoon highlighted by 11 inches of snow on the ground.
Grand Valley Joins MIFC, Wins Inaugural Crown In 1990, Grand Valley, along with GLIAC members Ferris State, Hillsdale, Northern Michigan, Saginaw Valley, and Wayne State, joined forces with the schools from the Heartland Conference which included Ashland, Butler, University of Indianapolis, St. Joseph’s College, and Valparaiso to form the Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference. The Lakers continued their winning ways, posting a 22-game regular season winning streak before falling at Hillsdale, 38-34. GV won the inaugural MIFC crown, finished with a 10-2 record and lost to East Texas State, 20-14, in the playoffs. Kelly Moves Up Beck left Grand Valley the following March to become an assistant at Notre Dame, and Athletic Director Mike Kovalchik filled the position with 28-year old Laker assistant Brian Kelly, a graduate of Assumption College, who continued to lead the Lakers to
STORIED TRADITION
success on the gridiron. He posted his 20th and 30th wins faster than any of his predecessors, and going into the 2003 season had a 104-34-2 record in twelve seasons of competition.
GV Defeats Defending National Champ, Goes To Playoffs For Third Straight Year Kelly’s first season was a roller coaster ride as the Lakers began by defeating defending Division II national champion North Dakota State, 21-17, in Fargo, breaking the Bison 25 game home winning streak as the Lakers became the first team to score a rushing TD in 38 quarters. The following week Grand Valley was shutout 33-0 in the Butler Bowl. Kelly’s 1991 team went on to post a 9-3 record, losing to East Texas State in the playoffs, 36-15. Grand Valley shared its second MIFC crown with Butler, Ferris, and Hillsdale in 1992 with an 8-3 record. Kelly’s club returned to the playoffs in 1994 and posted an 8-4 mark after losing to IUP in the first round.
Kelly Continues Winning Tradition The Lakers posted back to back 8-3 seasons in ‘95 and ‘96, finishing second in the MIFC both years. GVSU earned a share of the conference title in 1997, with a 9-2 overall record, and finished the MIFC season 9-1, with only a 30-27 overtime loss at Saginaw Valley State. Quarterback Jeff Fox led the Lakers to their second straight MIFC title and back into the playoffs in 1998 with a 9-1 conference mark. Fox became Grand Valley State’s first-ever Harlon Hill
Award Finalist as he rewrote the GVSU single-season and career offensive record books. The Lakers season was ended by Slippery Rock in the first round of the playoffs, 37-14. Kelly decided to go with a youth movement in 1999 and the inexperience showed as the Lakers stumbled to a 5-5 finish. The 2000 season started slowly as a tough early schedule dropped GVSU to 0-3. However, the Lakers did not quit after the rough start and responded with a six-game winning streak to end the season at 7-4. In 2001 the dividends of getting young players some vaulable experience showed as the Lakers not only won their first- ever playoff game but advanced to the 2001 National Championship. Behind an offensive attack like no Division II school before it, Grand Valley posted a perfect 10-0 regular season with an average of 58.4 points per game and 48.0 average margin of victory.
GVSU’s march to the championship game was not easy, however, as quarterback and Harlon Hill Finalist Curt Anes, was injured in the Lakers’ first playoff game. Grand Valley responded with a first round 42-14 victory over Bloomsburg, a 33-30 second round win over Saginaw Valley State, and a semifinal win over Catawba College, 34-16, with two back up quarterbacks. In the championship game against North Dakota the Lakers took a 14-10 lead with 2:46 left in the game, but the Fighting Sioux responded with a last minute drive of their own to take the title, 17-14. Finish what we started was the motto of the 2002 season. Curt Anes returned from a serious knee injury to guide GVSU to a perfect 10-0 regular season mark. GVSU defeated three ranked teams en route to the undefeated season. The playoffs began with a convincing 62-13 win over C.W. Post. Then came a matchup against longtime nemesis Indiana (Pa.). GVSU entered the game 0-6 against the Indians all-time, however, scored on its first eight possessions in the first half and built a 50-7 lead. The Lakers cruised to a 62-21 win and advanced to the NCAA DII semifinals. Grand Valley State again jumped out to an early lead and never looked back with an impressive 44-7 victory over Northern Colorado. The win advanced GVSU to the NCAA DII National Championship game for the second straight year. The #1 ranked Lakers squared off against #2 Valdosta State for a winner take all game. GVSU led 17-6 at the half and 24-6 midway through the fourth quarter. However, VSU scored 18 unanswered points to tie the game with just over three minutes remaining. Anes, who won the Harlon Hill Award as the DII Player of the Year less than 24 hours earlier, drove the Lakers 68 yards in 2:05 for a TD to give GVSU the 2002 NCAA DII National Championship. Anes hit All-American David Kircus on a 10-yard pass for the winning score. Grand Valley State went wire-to-wire as the top-ranked team in Division II and finished with a perfect 14-0 record. Following “Finish What We Started” in 2002, the 2003 motto was “Tradition Never Graduates”. Gone from the 2002 team were 25 seniors that concluded their careers with back-to-back appearances in the NCAA DII Championship game. However, someone forgot to tell the the 2003 squad that the run was over. The 2003 campaign started with a road win over perennial DII power UC Davis that was now a I-AA school. GVSU limited the highpowered Aggie offense to just two field goals, while GVSU’s AllAmerican placekicker, David Hendrix, booted three field goals, the final one coming in overtime to give a young GVSU squad a 9-6 win. A resounding win over West Michigan rival Ferris State followed as the Laker defense scored a pair of TDs. Wins over Wayne State, Hillsdale, Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan built the Lakers’ overall winning streak to 20 games and the conference streak to 29 games. A date with fourth-ranked Saginaw Valley State was next on the ledger and GVSU and GLIAC record crowd of 12,832 attended the much anticipated contest at Lubbers Stadium. GVSU turnovers and miscues filled the second half and the Cardinals capitalized to claim a 34-20 victory. GVSU regrouped and notched a 33-14 win at Northwood to build momentum towards another playoff run. However, this playoff run would have to be done on the road as GVSU entered the playoffs seeded third in the Northeast Region. The Lakers opened with a 65-36 win at Bentley College that set up a rematch with SVSU. Scott Mackey picked off a pass late in the second quarter to score the games only TD and give GVSU a 10-3 win. A win (313) in south Texas over Texas A&M-Kingsville propelled GVSU into its third straigth NCAA DII Championship game. A familar foe, North Dakota, was on the docket in a game that was sure to be a defensive battle. GVSU led 3-0 in the third quarter, but UND was deep in Laker territory and looking to take the lead before jun-

ior defensive back Lucius Hawkins made the play of the game. Hawkins forced a fumble by the Sioux QB that he in turn picked up and raced 59 yards to the North Dakota 20-yard line. All-American Michael Tennessee scored three plays later from three yards out to give GVSU a 10-0 lead. GVSU led 10-3 in the closing minutes as North Dakota was driving. Senior linebacker Mike Hoad would have none of that and picked off a pass on the Laker 10 to preserve the win and give GVSU back-to-back NCAA DII National Championships. The 2003 GVSU senior class etched their names in the record books by becoming just the second team (North Alabama) in NCAA DII history to make three consecutive trips to the title game. The Laker seniors were 47-2 in their final 49 games and tallied a four-year GLIAC record of 34-4.
Chuck Martin Takes Over The Reins Of Laker Football The 2004 season opened the era of a new mentor as Brian Kelly left following the 2003 season to take the head coach job at Central Michigan. Enter Chuck Martin as the fifth head coach in the history of the Laker football program. Martin won more games (10) than any of the four previous head coaches in their first year at the helm. In addition, the Lakers advanced to the NCAA DII Quarterfinals for the fourth straight year. The 2004 Laker seanior class concluded their careers with a 51-5 record, including two National Championships and three title game appearances. The 51 wins by the Laker senior class tied the DII record for wins in a career. DT Keyonta Marshall became GVSU’s first-ever three-time All-American and Grand Valley State continued to set single-season attendance records with a single-game average of 10,799 in 2004.
National Championship Number Three Year number two in the Chuck Martin era started with a lot of promise and ended with a National Championship. GVSU swept through the regular season with a perfect 9-0 record. Grand Valley State held the top spot in the AFCA poll after a 14-10 comeback win at Ashland on Sept. 17. The Lakers claimed a pair of impressive wins in October over nationally-ranked opponents. GVSU claimed a 31-10 victory over #4 Saginaw Valley State and then one week later tallied a 30-14 win at #5 Northwood. The Lakers’ final game of the regular season was cancelled due to lightning on a November night. GVSU received a bye as the top seed in the Northwest Region

and opened the playoffs with a familar foe in North Dakota. GVSU dominated the contest defensively and had all the points they needed by the half (14-0) en route to a 17-3 victory. A rematch with Saginaw Valley State was next and the Cardinals built a 14-7 halftime lead. However, a crucial TD on fourth-and-one tied the game in the third quarter and GVSU added 10 more points to claim a 2417 victory. The semifinals were next and East Stroudsburg (Pa.) was all that stood between the Lakers another trip to Florence. The Warriors didn’t stand in the way long and GVSU raced out to a 410 lead midway through the second quarter and went on to claim a 55-20 victory. Grand Valley State was making its fourth appearance in the NCAA DII title game in the last five years. The Lakers trailed Northwest Missouri State 17-14 midway through the fourth quarter when they started their National Championship game-winning drive. Junior QB Cullen Finnerty hit WR Eric Fowler with a key third-down pass to keep the drive alive. Senior WR Brandon Langston thought he let the title slip away when a Finnerty pass just slipped through his hands. However, Finnerty came back to the Lakers’ playmaker later in the drive and boy did he prove worthy of the task. Langston took a screen pass and raced 35 yards to paydirt to give GVSU a 21-17 lead with just over four minutes remaining. The Bearcats picked up a couple of first downs and had one final play from the Laker 25 with one tick left on the clock. The pass was completed, but senior safety Joe Ballard and sophomore linebacker Kirk Carruth made sure it was short of the goal line and GVSU had its third DII football National Championship in four years. The victory also enabled the Laker senior class to pick up their 51st victory against just four losses to establish the top victory total and best winning percentage in a four-year period. The Lakers placed 18 on the All-GLIAC team, including nine firstteamers. DT Mike McFadden was named the GLIAC Defensive Lineman of the Year, while Cullen Finnerty was named the Offensive Back of the Year. McFadden and OT Josh Bourke were consensus all-americans. McFadden was named the Gene Upshaw Award winner as the top DII interior lineman. Head coach Chuck Martin was named the AFCA DII Coach of the Year.
Allendale Becomes Titletown Allendale, Michigan officially became titletown of Division II football on Dec. 16, 2006. Grand Valley State captured its fourth NCAA DII Football National Championship in the last five years (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006), becoming just the second team in DII history to finish the the season with a 15-0 mark. Grand Valley State has appeared in five title games since 2001. The Lakers swept through the 2006 regular season in dominating fashion, outscoring its GLIAC foes by an average score of 37.1 14.6. Grand Valley State then rambled through a playoff run that included wins over two North Central Conference schools (South Dakota and North Dakota) in regional action, a win over a Gulf South Conference team (Delta State) in the semifinals, followed by a victory over Northwest Missouri State (17-14) of the MIAA in the title game. QB Cullen Finnerty scored the game winner early in the fourth quarter on a 4-yard run and the Laker defense preserved the win. Finnerty ran for 117 and passed for 225, while cornerback Bill Brechin picked off two passes and recovered a fumble for the defense. GVSU also played on national television three times (ESPN2 twice and CSTV) during the 2006 season. An incredible 21 players earned All-GLIAC plaudits, including nine first-teamers. Seven individuals earned all-american honors, including consensus first-teamers in QB Cullen Finnerty, OT Brandon Barnes, DL Mike McFadden, LB Anthony Adams and CB Brandon Carr.
STORIED TRADITION
GVSU concluded the 2006 season with college football’s longest active winning streak (28 games) and the winners in 85of-their-last-90 football games. Grand Valley State quarterback Cullen Finnerty concluded his career as college football’s all-time winningest starting QB in terms of total wins with a 51-4 record. The GVSU 2006 senior class ended their playing careers with a 52-4 overall mark and three National Championships. Including a redshirt year in 2002, the senior class was 66-4 with four National Championships. Grand Valley State didn’t win the 2007 NCAA DII Football National Championship, but it took an unforseen road trip, an ice storm and a record-setting performance by an all-american running back to keep the Lakers out of the title game. The Lakers went through the regular season with a perfect 10-0 record and won its first two playoff games en route to the NCAA Division II Semifinals. The 12 straight wins ran the Lakers’ Division II record win streak to 40 games before it ended with a loss at No. 5 Northwest Missouri State in the semifinals. The Lakers were ranked No. 1 in the nation until their loss in the 13th game. Sophomore Brad Iciek excelled in his first season as GVSU’s starting quarterback and compiled a quarterback efficiency rating of 168.12 by completing 61.1 percent of his passes for 2,850 yards and 30 touchdowns. Freshman Jimmy Berezik stepped in and ran for 1,021 yards with eight touchdowns, while Blake Smolen tallied 1,631 all-purpose yards. Senior Brandon Horn caught a team-best 55 passes for 823 yards, while Antione Trent hauled in 34 passes for 585 yards and 11 TDs. Defensively, the Lakers were led by Anthony Adams and Dan Skuta. Adams piled up 94 tackles, 52 solo, along with 20.5 tackles for loss for a total of 74 yards. He also recorded six sacks and two forced fumbles. Skuta was second on
the team with 77 tackles, with 17.5 for a loss. He notched 11.5 sacks for 71 yards and forced four fumbles. Following the season, defensive back Brandon Carr was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs as the fifth pick in the fifth round of the NFL draft. Carr was the first Laker to be drafted since Keyonta Marshall was drafted in the second day of the 2005 draft. Three other Lakers earned various all-american honors following the season. Adams was named to the American Football Coaches Association All-American First Team, as well as the AP and Daktronics, Inc. All-American First Teams. Brandon Barnes earned AP and Daktronics First Team All-American plaudits, as well. He also took home the Gene Upshaw award as the best lineman in Division II football. Skuta also earned First Team All-American status from
Daktronics, and also second team plaudits from the AP. The selections marked the seventh straight year that a GVSU player was named to the AFCA All-American First Team. Iciek was also named as a Harlon Hill finalist for the most valuable player in Division II football. He became the fourth straight GVSU quarterback to be named as a Harlon Hill finalist. Head coach Chuck Martin was named the NCAA Division II AFCA Region 3 Coach of the Year after leading the Laker football program to a third consecutive undefeated regular season. The Lakers tallied their fourth consecutive undefeated regular season and fourth straight GLIAC title in 2008, however, a 19-13 double overtime loss to eventual national champion MinnesotaDuluth dimmed the shine on the regular season. Iciek was a finalist for the Harlon Hill Award for the second straight year, while DT Dan Skuta, OC Billy Eisenhardt and OT Sam Allen were consensus all-america selections. The most successful DII football team since 2001 continued its winning ways in 2009. The Lakers won their fifth straight GLIAC title and advanced to the NCAA DII National Championship game for the sixth time in the last nine years. Hillsdale College snapped the Lakers’ 45-game regular season winning streak, but GVSU atoned for that loss with a win over the Chargers in the NCAA playoffs. NW Missouri State claimed a 30-23 win over the Lakers in the title game. Senior QB Brad Iciek was a Harlon Hill finalist for the third consecutive year and senior WR Blake Smolen became the Lakers all-time, all-purpose yardage leader. Nick McDonald, Danny Richard, Justin Victor and Jake McGuckin were recognized nationally for their play on the field.
Matt Mitchell Takes Over As Head Coach Matt Mitchell took over as the seventh head coach in the programs history and won the most games of any first-year head coach (11). The Lakers claimed their sixth straight GLIAC title and appeared in the NCAA DII Playoffs for the 11th consecutive year. Senior offensive lineman Cameron Bradfield was a consensus First-Team All-American, while senior linebacker Justin Victor also earned post-season honors from several publications. After claiming the 2011 season opener, GVSU lost three straight games by a total of 10 points in games where the outcome was decided on the last play of the game. The Lakers rebounded and won seven straight games to end the season, however, GVSU was not selected for the NCAA DII Playoffs for the first time in 10 years, despite claiming a 49-24 win over Saginaw Valley State in the season finale. The Lakers claimed the 2012 GLIAC North Divsion crown, but an 8-3 mark, including a 7-3 GLIAC record, did not qualify them for the playoffs. Mitchell guided the Lakers to a 12-3 overall mark and a 9-2 regular season mark in 2013. The Lakers also notched a 4-2 mark against teams that finished the year ranked in final AFCA Coashes’ poll. GVSU closed the 2013 regular season with a 49-34 victory over 15th-ranked Saginaw Valley State. The Lakers and Cardinals were paired up against one another in an NCAA Super Region 4 first-round playoff matchup jusst one week later and GVSU again came out on top, this time by a 40-7 score. Grand Valley State captured a 34-30 victory at No. 3 Colorado State-Pueblo and won its eithth NCAA DII regional crown with a 35-28 comeback win over 11th-ranked West Texas A&M. The Lakers dropped a 27-13 decition at eventual National Champion Northwest Missouri State in the semifinals. By Don Thomas and Tim Nott

THIS IS GVSU FOOTBALL
LAKER TRADITION
Since 1971, when Grand Valley State University kicked off the first season of varsity football in Allendale, the Lakers have established themselves as one of the most successful college football programs in the country.
Grand Valley has won national championships, rewritten record books, and produced numerous all-americans and NFL caliber players on the way to becoming a force in Division II football. NCAA Division II All-Time Winningest Teams

From Grand Valley State's first all-american in 1974 to the 2002 season when 11 Lakers garnered various all-america honors, GVSU has produced some of the top players in the country. Since 2001, the Lakers have had at least four players earn all-america plaudits each season with the exception of 2011 and 2012. Eric Lynch (1989-90), Jeff Fox (1998), Curt Anes (2001-02), Cullen Finnerty (2006) and Brad Iciek (2007-09) finished among the top eight finalists for the Harlon Hill Award.
After finishing second in 2001, despite having the most first place votes, Curt Anes claimed Division II’s top award in 2002 and led Grand Valley State to its first National Championship the following day.

2006 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
In 2006, the Lakers successfully defended the national championship. Along with the title defense, the Laker football program went 15-0 for the first time in school history and for just the second time in NCAA history as well. Chuck Martin earned his second AFCA Coach of the Year plaudit in just his third season as the coach of the Lakers. Cullen Finnerty finished second in Harlon Hill balloting, while Mike McFadden received his second consecutive Gene Upshaw Award in 2006.
The Lakers went wire to wire as the #1 team in the country. Grand Valley got off to a bit of a rough start early in the season, but was able to peak at the right time despite suffering key injuries on the offensive line and defense. GVSU moved through the playoffs without too much of a scare, defeating South Dakota, North Dakota, and Delta State by an average score of more than two touchdowns. In the championship game, Grand Valley defeated a determined NW Missouri State for the second year in a row, 17-14. Cullen Finnerty was responsible for both Laker touchdowns, while Billy “Pix� Brechin intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble to clinch the win.
2005 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
The Lakers again returned to Florence, Ala. making their fourth appearance on ESPN in just five seasons. AFCA Coach of the Year, Chuck Martin, led the Lakers to a second undefeated championship season in just his second campaign as head coach. Grand Valley State became just the third school to win three Division II football National Championships. Cullen Finnerty, who ran for two touchdowns, connected with Brandon Langston on a screen pass which he took 35 yards to paydirt for what would be the eventual winning touchdown.
The Laker defensive unit stood tall, as Mike McFadden continued to pressure the NW Missouri State quarterback despite fighting an injury from the previous week. As the game came down to the final seconds, Kirk Carruth and Joe Ballard stuffed a last gasp pass completion just short of the goal line to seal the victory. Josh Bourke and Mike McFadden garnered all-american honors, and McFadden also earned the Gene Upshaw Award. The senior class finished as the winningest class in GVSU history (51-4).
2003 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
In contrast to the 2002 season, the Lakers took to the road to claim the national championship in back-to-back seasons. In the end, GVSU would travel 13,232 miles to defend the title. Grand Valley continued its winning ways after graduating 13 starters from the previous season.
Depsite seeing its 20-game win streak come to an end in the middle of the season, GVSU regrouped to finish strong with only one blemish preventing another undefeated season.
Scott Mackey scored the only touchdown against Saginaw Valley in the playoff rematch to give the Lakers a 10-3 victory over Grand Valley’s biggest in-state rival. The win would give the Lakers a berth in the semifnals where GVSU ran over highly touted Texas A&M-Kingsville for a return to the championship game in Florence, Ala.
Mackey, along with Lucius Hawkins, would help lead the Lakers in a tough battle versus North Dakota in the championship game. In the end, Mike Hoad would play the hero as he put an end to a late Fighting Sioux drive by picking off a pass to give the Lakers a 10-3 win against the team who narrowly defeated them in the 2001 championship game.
2002 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
Staking the claim as one of the most explosive and dynamic football teams in DII history, the 2002 Lakers went wire-to-wire as the #1 team in the nation with an incredible 11 players that earned some sort of all-america mention.
GVSU completed its second undefeated regular season in 2002, on its way to winning the GLIAC title for the second consecutive year. The Lakers would go on an amazing playoff run before returning to Alabama to face Valdosta State in the title game. Grand Valley posted an average margin of victory of 42 points in three playoff games versus C.W. Post, IUP and Northern Colorado.
The title game featured the first NCAA Division II championship game in which the top two teams in the country were both undefeated. Grand Valley entered as the #1 team, while Valdosta State was ranked #2. GVSU led for most of the game, but a Valdosta State comeback effort put the Blazers in position for the win. However, a calm, cool and collected Curt Anes found Kircus late in the fourth quarter to cap off a 65-yard drive to take the lead. Darren Smith tallied his second interception of the game to put Valdosta State away and seal the Lakers’ first championship. All-american David Kircus racked up a Division II championship game-record 270 receiving yards and three touchdowns to lead the Lakers to their first national championship.

THE STREAK
From August 27, 2005 through December 1, 2007 Grand Valley State’s football team left the field as the victor for 40 consecutive games. GVSU stood the test of time to put its name in the history books by breaking the record for the longest winning streak in NCAA Division II history.
Game 16 Sept. 16, 2006
Game 11 Nov. 26, 2005
Hillsdale College set the record in 1957 with 34 straight wins. That mark stood strong for 50 years with few challengers. As history has shown, the record for the longest winning streak is a virtually impossible task to conquer.
Wilkes and Morgan State reached just over 30 wins in the late-60’s, but no school would test the record again until 1995 when an undefeated Bentley team dropped what would have been their 31st consecutive win in the last game of the regular season against Stonehill.
Grand Valley’s path to 40 straight wins came from a more unique direction than those in the past. While Hillsdale, Wilkes, Morgan State, and Bentley all made their runs through regular season and in-conference bowl game wins. The Lakers faced the best in the country each year after the regular season concluded in a playoff system. The “second season” provides a different type of challenge by adding four or five extra games against nationally ranked opponents each season. The improbable 40-game winning streak consisted of three consecutive undefeated regular seasons, three postseason berths, 11 playoff victories and two national championships.

QUARTERBACK U
The Laker offense has been directed by six quarterbacks since 1996 and if you go all the way back to 1985, 11 primary signal callers have lined up under center. Four of GVSU’s last five quarterbacks have been Harlon Hill Award finalists as the DII Player of the Year.
Brad Iciek concluded his career at GVSU in 2009 and he was a finalist for the Harlon Hill Award each of his three years. Cullen Finnerty concluded his college football career with the Lakers in 2006 and in his four seasons as the starter for Grand Valley Finnerty became the winningest starting QB in NCAA history with a 51-4 record. Finnerty also led the Lakers to a 14-1 record in the playoffs with three championship victories. Curt Anes finished his career at the top with the Lakers, leading GVSU to its first-ever NCAA DII Football National Championship during his senior year in 2002. Anes finished second in the Harlon Hill voting as a junior, despite having the most first place votes, before winning the award in 2002. Anes held the school record for most passing yards in a career (10,581) when he completed his four year career.
Before Cullen Finnerty and Curt Anes, Holland native, Jeff Fox was setting records and laying the foundation for future Laker signal-callers. Fox became the first Grand Valley QB to throw for over 2,000 yards in multiple seasons. In each of Fox’s three seasons at the helm of the offense rank in the top 10 for passing in Laker annals. Kwame McKinnon, Jack Hull, Guy Schuler, Jim Lynch, and David Quinley are just a few more athletes who have stood tall as the field general for the Lakers in past seasons.
NATIONAL AWARDS
The Gene Upshaw Award was introduced to NCAA Division II in 2004 to represent the lineman of the year. Since its inception, the Manheim Touchdown Club has named five winners of the award, with three of the five recipients being linemen from GVSU. Mike McFadden earned the honor in 2005 after leading the Lakers to a national championship. McFadden then capped off his career by winning the award again in 2006. Brandon Barnes kept the hardware in Allendale by garnering the most votes in 2007.
Curt Anes brought the Harlon Hill Trophy back from Alabama in 2002 along with the first national championship trophy. Anes finished second in 2001. Jeff Fox and Eric Lynch both preceeded Anes as Harlon Hill finalists. Lynch was the first two-time nominee from Grand Valley (1989, 90) and Jeff Fox reached the national stage in 1998 when he would finish third in the voting. Cullen Finnerty finished his career with three national championship victories and a second place finish in the 2006 Harlon Hill voting. Brad Iciek kept the tradition alive, being the first GVSU player to be named a Harlon Hill finalist for three consecutive seasons.
The Rimington Award honors the top offensive center in the country and the Lakers’ Matt Armstrong captured the 20013 honor. Armstrong was a consensus all-america selection en route to being named the nations top center.
ALL AMERICANS
No NCAA DII program has produced as many All-Americans as Grand Valley State since 2001. Curt Anes, Dale Westrick, David Kircus, Reggie Spearmon, Josh Bourke are just a few of the Lakers that built the decade of dominance. Lucius Hawkins, Scott Mackey, Eric Fowler, Brandon Langston, Keyonta Marshall and Mike McFadden continued the individual accolades and in 2013 senior center Matt Armstrong and and sophomore tight end Jamie Potts added to the impressive group. Grand Valley State’s 2014 squad will again have a number of players that could garner post-season honors. Jamie Potts, Jim Walsh, Heath Parling and Michael Ratay are just a few that could emerge as the top players in Division II.
Tom Tefft earned the first postseason award from the NAIA in 1973. Since then, the Lakers have earned well over 100 all-america awards.
Just a few seasons later, in 1975, Dan Karpowicz proved to have the talent to lead the Lakers to national prominence. He was the first player from GVSU to earn the national award from the NAIA ranks. In 2002, while the experts were debating if the Lakers were the best team in NCAA Division II history, GVSU tallied eleven different all-americans.
Now that the tradition has been built, the Lakers produce some of the nations best players every season as they contend for the national championships, all america honors and national awards every year.
GAME DAY
From players walking to the football center being greeted by tailgaiting fans before the game, to the fireworks that light up the sky to signal a Laker touchdown, a football game at Lubbers Stadium has become a community event. Just before each game the football players rush the field toward the student section to the cheers of well over 12,000 fans at each home game. It doesn’t get any better than Laker football in Lubbers Stadium.
“The crowd [GVSU student section] was extremely loud. We had a difficult time at that end of the field the whole game. They are one of the loudest crowds we’ve played in front of.” -Bob Biggs, UC Davis head coach after GVSU defeated UC Davis in 2002
Lubbers Stadium is one of the most exciting Division II venues in the country. The stands are regularly packed with thousands of excited students providing a homefield advantage in the south end zone. Opposing players are surrounded on game day between the student section, Laker fans that fill the seats on each side, as well as the GVSU Marching Band in the north end zone.
Both fans and players are able to experience game day in Allendale more than most any other program in the country. Since 2001, the Lakers have played 21 extra home games in the postseason. Laker game days can’t be contained to just 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 201314 academic year at various charitable organizations in West Michigan.
MEDIA COVERAGE
GVSU has appeared a number of times in Sports Illustrated because of its success in the 2000’s. The Lakers have also been highlighted twice in the “Leading Off” section of the magazine. They have also been featured on the national stage by USA Today. The Lakers appeared on College Football Live’s 50 States Tour in 2009 during the show that featured the State of Michigan on ESPNU. The Lakers are also regularly covered by the Grand Rapids Press/MLive, which is read by over 1,000,000 state wide on a daily basis. In addition, the Holland Sentinel, Grand Haven Tribune, the Lansing State Journal, the Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press cover the Laker football program.
All of Grand Valley State’s home games are shown live on the internet and on TV throughout the State of Michigan on Comcast Cable. GVSU has also been on the ESPN family of networks nine times in the last nine years.
FACILITIES
Arend D. Lubbers Stadium is the home of Laker football. The Lakers have played at Lubbers Stadium since 1972 and have amassed a .829 winning percentage in those 40 seasons.
Lubbers Stadium is the focal point of the Laker football program. Since its construction it has seen many additions to improve the facilities. Including the 2012 renovations, which included lowering the field eight feet and taking out the track to add four rows that form a horseshoe, Lubbers Stadium has changed yearly. In recent years the stadium has expanded the home stands by one full section on each side, a new student section was built, luxury suites were added, and a new scoreboard with a prostar video display was constructed in the north end zone.
FACILITIES
The Lakers are housed in the football center that sits next to Lubbers Stadium. The building includes meeting rooms for each position as well as a team room which can be used for full team meetings and press conferences.
Next to the Football Center sits the Rob Odejewski weight room which opened in 2002. The weight room was rededicated on August 22, 2014 after a complete makeover on the inside with both equipment and appearance. In the fall of 2008, the university opened the doors to the Laker Turf Building which has already been honored with national awards for its construction. The football program uses the facility to avoid adverse weather conditions during practices and also during off-season workouts. It features a full six lane track and a 100 yard Field Turf surface.

LAKERS IN THE PROS
Cameron Bradfield (Jaguars), Brandon Carr (Cowboys) and Dan Skuta have solidified themselves as top level performers in the NFL, while OL Josh Bourke is among the top offensive lineman in the Canadian Football League. Bourke was picked up by the Montreal Alouettes after a short stint in the NFL. He has been successful in his native Canada, having been named to the CFL All-Star team four straight years and helped to lead his team to a Grey Cup title in two of the last three years. Matt Armstrong (Saints) is the latest Laker to make his bid into the NFL and joins Tim Lelito on the Saints roster. Lelito started two games in 2013 after making the squad as an undrafted free agent. Lelito enters the 2014 season as the starting center for the Saints. Charles Johnson was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 2013, but was picked up off the Packers practice squad by the Cleveland Browns. Nick McDonald was also signed by the Browns after stints with the Packers, Patriots and Chargers.

THE GVSU FOOTBALL COACHING TREE
Miami (OH) is known as the Cradle of Coaches for producing successful football coaches. GVSU’s tradition has been building its own legacy and here are just some current big-name coaches with roots that extend back to Allendale.
When GVSU’s football coaches tell recruits they have a chance to receive some of best coaching in the country, they can point to former GVSU coaches to prove the claim. Grand Valley claims to have great football history and tradition, and that extends beyond just players who make it to the NFL. There are currently a number of coaches experiencing success on a big stage after playing their role in building one of the best football programs in NCAA Division II. Two of the biggest names at two of the biggest programs in the nation have ties back to GVSU. Brady Hoke was a part of the all-time winningest NCAA Division II program in 1983, and now he’s at the helm of the winningest NCAA Division I program at Michigan. Brian Kelly directed the Lakers to national championships in 2002 and 2003, and now he’s in charge of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as they look to return to national prominence. BRIAN KELLY

HARLON HILL AWARD The Harlon Hill Trophy annually goes to the top football player in Division II, recognizing that individual as the NCAA Division II Player of the Year. Six Laker football players have been nominated a total of 11 times for the Harlon Hill Award. Brad Icie was the most recent nominee in 2009, marking the third straight year Iciek was a nominee. Iciek is just the second player in the history of the Harlon Hill Award to be a three-time nominee and recorded two top five finishes. Cullen Finnerty was one of three finalists in 2006, while Michael Tennessee was nominated in 2003. Curt Anes (2001-02), Jeff Fox (1997-98) and Eric Lynch (1990-91) also earned multiple nominations for the award. These six former Laker gridiron greats have earned the right to be mentioned among the top players in Division II football. Finnerty became the second Laker quarterback to finish runner-up for the award this decade (Anes 2001). Tennessee was one of six nominees from the Northeast region to move on to the 24-member national ballot. Prior to 2002 when Anes won the Harlon Hill Award, his runner-up finish in 2001 was the Lakers’ highest finisher in the Hill Award voting. Anes garnered the most firstplace votes (52), but finished eight points (201) behind Dusty Bonner’s total of 209. Laker quarterback Jeff Fox finished third in the Harlon Hill Award voting in 1998 with 76 points and two first-place votes. Former Laker running back Eric Lynch finished tied for sixth in 1989 and eighth in 1990. Brad Iciek was a three-time nominee and a two-time finalist for the Harlon Hill Award. Iciek finished seventh in the voting as a sophomore in 2007 and was a Super Region 3 nominee in 2008. Iciek finished fifth in the final voting in 2009. Brad is one of two players in DII history to be a three-time nominee.

HARLON HILL AWARD
Quarterback Curt Anes Wins Harlon Hill Award
Grand Valley State University quarterback Curt Anes claimed the Harlon Hill Trophy as the Division II College Football Player of the year, with the second highest vote total in the award’s 17year history. Anes recieved 271 total points in the voting and 63 first-place votes, the second highest in points as well as second highest total for first-place votes. Anes became the first-ever Harlon Hill Award winner from the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The award winner is determined in voting by the Division II sports information directors and was presented in front of a crowd of almost 500 at the seventeenth annual Harlon Hill Trophy award banquet at the Florence Conference Center. Anes, a senior from Kentwood, Michigan, was the runner-up for last year’s Hill Trophy, finishing just eight points behind 2001 winner Dusty Bonner. In 2002 he quarterbacked Grand Valley State to an undefeated regular-season and No. 1 ranking all season, while ranking third nationally in passing efficiency and third in total offense. He ranks third in Division II history for career touchdown passes (114) and first in total offense (11,881) and is fifth all-time in career pass efficiency. He threw for 3,692 yards and 47 TDs in 2002 and led the Lakers to a 14-0 record and to the Division II National Championship. “Being a part of the Harlon Hill Trophy Award was an incredible experience,” said Anes. “It is such an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence as all of the previous winners,” added Anes. Anes became one of five individuals to win the Harlon Hill Award on Friday night and then lead his team to the NCAA DII National Championship on Saturday. “This is not an individual award. I was blessed with incredible team, coaches and support staff that all played a key role in helping achieve this honor,” stated Anes. C.W. Post senior running back Ian Smart was second with 180 points and 31 first-place votes, and St. Cloud State junior quarterback Keith Heckendorf was third with 93 points and 7 firstplace votes.

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.

Florence, Ala. - A determined North Dakota football team could not break the will of the Grand Valley State University defense this time. The Lakers held off a potential game-winning drive late, intercepting a pass near the goal line to preserve a 10-3 win in the NCAA Division II Championship Game Saturday. The effort in front of a Braly Municipal Stadium crowd of 7,236 allowed GVSU to become the sixth Division II team to win back-to-back national titles since the first championship game in 1973. Grand Valley (14-1) would be celebrating three titles in a row if North Dakota hadn't rallied in 2001 to beat the Lakers 17-14 with a fourth-quarter drive. “That was deja vu that North Dakota moved the ball down field," GVSU coach Brian Kelly said, referring to the game's dramatic finish. "Our defense has just answered
the bell the past three weeks. They have not let up a touchdown now in 12 consecutive quarters of playoff competition. That's a lot to be said in terms of how we got back here. "We got back here on the backs of our defense." The defense sought redemption for a dejecting end to the 2001 contest against North Dakota. The Fighting Sioux edged Grand Valley two years ago when they scored on a 1yard touchdown run with 29 seconds left. A 58-yard reception for a tight end off a missed tackle set up the decisive score. This year, North Dakota were thinking of a similar end when GVSU's David Hendrix missed a 43-yard field goal with 3 minutes, 54 seconds remaining. The Fighting Sioux (12-2) moved up the field and put themselves in a 1st-and-10 at the Grand Valley 17-yard line. They downed the ball to stop the clock. The Lakers then forced two incomplete passes, including a third-down one that fell incomplete in the end zone. North Dakota quarterback John Bowenkamp looked to keep the drive alive on fourth quarter, but GVSU linebacker Mike Hoad stepped in front of the pass at the 5yard line. The Lakers squashed the comeback bid. "We thought the defense had to step up a lot this year," said Hoad, a senior. "We had our backs up against the wall at the end. I think (the resilience) was typical of our seniors and our character." Hoad and his teammates would have been tested further had the Fighting Sioux got into the end zone. North Dakota, which missed two field goals during the game, would have gone for the go-ahead two-point conversion had they scored, according to Fighting Sioux coach Dale Lennon. Instead, North Dakota was dealing with a tough loss. "They beat us at our game," Lennon said. The low-scoring contest featured only a 19-yard David Hendrix field goal midway through the first quarter. The Lakers too the opening drive 79 yards in 17 plays before reaching the 1-yard line and settling for a field goal. The drive was Grand Valley's second-longest of the season. Neither team scored in the half. The 3-0 score was the lowest at halftime of NCAA Division II Championship Game history since 1989 when Mississippi College and Jacksonville State were scoreless. North Dakota, which had not been shutout in a half this season, threatened right away in the third quarter, though The Fighting Sioux took the opening drive of the second half and marched 63 yards to the GVSU 7-yard line. On third-and-four, quarterback John Bowenkamp dropped back to pass then scrambled to his right. A charging Grand Valley linebacker, Lucius Hawkins, hit Bowenkamp after he pump-faked and forced a fumble. Hawkins scooped up the football and raced 59 yards to the North Dakota 20-yard line. Four plays later, running back Michael Tennessee barrelled into the end zone from 1 yard out. Tennessee's 16th touchdown of the season and a Hendrix extra point put the Lakers ahead 10-0 with 9:15 remaining in the third quarter. The Fighting Sioux bounced back on their next series and set themselves up for a 43-yard field goal. Kicker Jeff Glas, however, slipped on his approach and Grand Valley defensive lineman Keyonta Marshall easily deflected the kick. Glas also pulled a 46-yard field goal in the first quarter. It was the fourth time this season Glas had missed at least two field goals in a game. Glas finally connected on a 35-yard field goal 9:47 into the fourth quarter. It wasn't enough. Grand Valley joined the 1999 Northern Colorado team as the only ones to win a national championship while never playing at a home. The Lakers won four road games in the playoffs and six in a row including the regular season. "It means a lot (to earn a national title by winning four consecutive games on the road.)," Kelly said. "They did it in tough circumstances. Maybe they can get credit for being one of those all-time great teams."

Allendale, Mich. - #1 Ranked Grand Valley State scored 34 first-quarter points and cruised to a 55-20 NCAA DII National Semifinal victory at Lubbers Stadium in Allendale Saturday afternoon. Grand Valley State will now appear in its fourth NCAA DII National Championship game in the last five years. GVSU lost the 2001 title game, but won back-to-back DII National Championships in 2002 and 2003. "I'm so proud of how this team has competed and played together as a team for 15 weeks," said second-year head coach Chuck Martin. "This group is so close on both sides of the ball and they compete with one another to make each other better," added Martin.

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

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

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

Florence, Ala. - Northwest Missouri State jumped out to a 21-0 first half lead and held on for a 30-23 victory over Grand Valley State in the 2009 NCAA DII National Championship game Saturday afternoon in Florence, Ala. The title game appearance was the Lakers' sixth since 2001. GVSU finished the season with a 13-2 record and the Lakers' senior class finished their careers with a 51-4 record. The 2009 senior class is the sixth straight to finish with 50 or more wins during their careers. Northwest Missouri State started fast with touchdowns on their first three drives of the game. LaRon Council finished the Bearcats opening drive with a 14 yard TD run to cap a 6-play, 76-yard drive that took just 1:53 off the clock. GVSU then drove into Bearcat territory on its second drive of the game and faced a fourth-and-three from the NMSU 35-yard line. However, head coach Chuck Martin elected to punt and senior Justin Trumble pinned NW Missouri State on its own three-yard line. "I didn't even really consider going for it and I felt pretty good after Justin (Trumble) pinned them on their own three yard line," said sixth-year head coach Chuck Martin. Northwest Missouri State drove 97 yards in 16 plays as QB Blake Bolles finished the drive with a four yard TD run. Following a three-and-out by the Lakers, NMSU Jordan Simmons took a Justin Trumble punt back 48 yards to the Grand Valley State 17 yard line. Council followed with a 17 yard TD run to up the Northwest Missouri State lead to 21-0. NW Missouri State was driving again late in the first half and had the ball on the GVSU one yard line, but senior LB James Wojciechowski forced and recovered a Previn Perry fumble to thwart the scoring opportunity. "We regrouped at the half and told the guys that we needed to get a stop to open the second half and then get going offensively," said Martin. Grand Valley State senior LB Gary Anderson provided the spark to open the second half when he picked off a Blake Bolles pass on the Bearcats fouth play of the third quarter. Iciek then drove the Lakers 48 yards in four plays and hit sophomore tight end Andrew Lorman with an eight yard TD pass with 11:22 left in the third quarter to get the Lakers on the scoreboard. Iciek hit junior WR Ryan Bass with a 16 yard completion and P.T. Gates rushed for 11 yards followed by a NMSU personal foul before the TD pass to Lorman. The excitement was short lived as Jay Jandasek's PAT was blocked and returned for a defensive safety for the Bearcats by Ryan Jones. Jones taunted the Laker defenders for the final 30 yards and ran the final seven yards backwards, but no penalty was called. The Lakers and Bearcats traded punts, including an NCAA DII Championship record 71 yard punt by GVSU's Jay Jandasek, who was replacing the injured Trumble. The GVSU defense continued to hold the Bearcat offense and forced a punt deep in their own territory. The Michael Stadler punt was downed at the 50 yard line to set the Laker offense up with outstanding field position. WR Blake Smolen ran 11 yards on a reverse and Iciek then hit WR Ryan Bass with a 33 yard TD pass and Jandasek added the PAT to cut the Northwest Missouri State lead to 10 (23-13). Grand Valley State's defense forced another turnover when CB Chris Crawford, playing for the injured Enrique Shaw, forced a fumble on the GVSU 29 yard line. Iciek directed an 11-play, 71-yard scoring drive that finished with a two yard TD run by Smolen. Jandasek added the PAT and the Lakers clawed back to within three points (23-20) with 12:26 left in the game. "I looked up at the scoreboard and was trying to figure out how we only trailed by three (23-20) with 12 minutes left in the game," said Martin. The Lakers were flagged with a personal foul on the ensuing kickoff and the Bearcats took over on GVSU 32 yard line. Bolles completed an 18 yard pass to Council on a third and 22 play, then hit Jake Soy with a 26 yard TD pass on a fourth and five play to up the lead to 10 points (30-20) with 10:00 left in the game. "I new they would go for it and we put our best defender (Jake McGuckin) on their best receiver (Jake Soy), but Bolles just threw a perfect pass for the TD," said Martin. GVSU continued to battle and drove 70 yards in 12 plays for a 21 yard field goal by Jandasek. The big play on the drive came when Iciek hit freshman Israel Woolfork with a 35-yard pass and catch to the Bearcat 12 yard line on third and 10. Trailing 30-23, GVSU opted for an onside kick and thought they had recovered the ball, but an illegal touching call negated the recovery and NMSU took over on the GVSU 39 yard line. The GVSU defense held and forced a Bearcat punt that went into the end zone to give the Lakers one last drive starting from their own 20 yard line with 2:59 remaining. Grand Valley State drove 24 yards in nine plays, but Iciek's fourth down pass was incomplete with :52 seconds left to seal the win for Northwest Missouri State. Iciek completed a career-high 28 passes for 290 yards and two TDs for the Lakers.

"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
Tim W. Selgo enters his 19th year as athletic director at Grand Valley State. He was appointed athletic director on February 12, 1996 and has put his own stamp of leadership on Laker athletics. A promoter of a well-rounded athletic department, Selgo has been a key figure in the Lakers' rise to the top of Division II athletics. Grand Valley State has finished among the top two in the Learfield Sports/NACDA Directors’ Cup standings for 13 consecutive years, including nine titles (2003-04 to 2010-11 and 2013-14). The prestigious award is presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), Learfield Sports and the USA TODAY to the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. In addition, GVSU has won 16 straight Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Presidents' Cup titles as the top athletic program in the 16-team GLIAC. The Lakers' 21 alltime Presidents' Cup titles top all GLIAC institutions. Grand Valley State, which won 45 GLIAC titles prior to Selgo's arrival, has won 150 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 four years (200711), including serving as Chair of the Management Council in 2009. A term on the NCAA DII Management Council is the highest position is DII athletics. He was most recently named the NACDA Division II AD of the Year, while also being named the Division II Central Region Astroturf Athletic Director of the Year in 2006-07. He was also honored as the Central Region AD of the Year in 2002-03. In addition, Selgo is the 1st Vice President of NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics) and is on the DII Membership Committee. Selgo has been the key figure in the development of the athletic facilities and programs at Grand Valley State. Lubbers Stadium was renovated during the summer of 2011, adding seats to increase capacity to 10,444, as well as installing a new Fieldturf artificial surface. A new outdoor track & field/lacrosse stadium was opened in the fall of 2011, while the Kelly Family Sports Center, which opened for all university activities in August 2008 was spearheaded by Selgo. The KFCS allows GVSU academic classes and athletic teams the opportunity to work inside in inclement weather. The 137,662 square foot facility has a 100 x 55-yard fieldturf surface, a six-lane track with nine sprint lanes and batting cages that drop from the ceiling. The Laker softball team began play on its new field in 2008 and the Laker baseball field added stadium seating behind home plate in 2010. 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/Athlete-of-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 1978-79 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 (31-of-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.After serving one year as a teacher and coach at Springfield High School, 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 recently celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. They have three children; Jennifer (29), Rachel (27), and Daniel (21), and two grandchildren; Tray (5) and R.J.(3) Mitchell. Grand Valley State Athletics • 203
