Chuck Martin Head Coach 6th Season

Grand Valley State head coach Chuck Martin is set to embark on his sixth year as the leader of the winningest DII football program in the country. All Martin has done his first five years is lead the Lakers to two NCAA DII Football National Championships, 61 total wins and set the all-time NCAA DII winning streak at 40. He has been named the American Football Coaches Association DII Coach of the Year twice and was honored as the GLIAC Coach of the Year for the first time in 2007. Martin, who was an assistant coach at GVSU for four years prior to becoming the sixth head coach in Laker football history, was named to the head coaching post on December 31, 2003.

Few have been as successful as Martin in the first five years of their head coaching career. Martin is 61-5 (.924) overall with a 133 playoff record, two National Championships and four GLIAC titles. GVSU is 46-2 in GLIAC action, including a current 40-game GLIAC winning streak. He guided Grand Valley State to its fourth straight perfect regular season in 2008. Martin is the winningest active DII head coach in the country and is in a virtual tie with Mount Union’s Larry Kehres for the winningest active college football coach title regardless of division. Kehres has a .9247 winning percentage (275-21-3), while Martin has a .9242 winning percentage.

Under Martin, 29 players have earned various all-america honors and the Lakers have dominated the Player of the Year circut. Offensive lineman Brandon Barnes was the 2007 recipient Gene Upshaw Award, following defensive lineman Mike McFadden who

COACHES was honored as the 2005 and 2006 Gene Upshaw Award winner.

Quarterback Cullen Finnerty finished second in the voting for the 2006 Harlon Hill Award, which goes annually to the DII Player of the Year, while current QB Brad Iciek finished fifth in the 2008 Hill voting and seventh in the 2007. In Martin’s five years at the helm the Lakers have turned out three GLIAC Defensive Lineman of Year honorees that have won the award five times, three straight GLIAC Offensive Lineman of Year award winners, two GLIAC Offensive Back’s of the Year and two GLIAC Defensive Back’s of the Year awardees, a GLIAC Player of the Year and a GLIAC Freshman of the Year. Ninety five players have earned All-GLIAC plaudits under Martin, including 46 first-team selections. Grand Valley State has also been ranked number one in the AFCA Coaches Poll for 49 of 68 weeks the poll has been released during Martin’s tenure.

A promoter of the full college experience, Martin and his Laker football squad are active contributors to community charitable organizations. The Laker football team has been active in donating time to Love Inc., Goodwill, The Salvation Army, local Grand Rapids hospitals and soup kitchens, Habitat For Humanity and Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in Kiln, Mississippi. Martin and 36 members of the Laker football team spent a week in Kiln, Mississippi at Camp Coastal Outpost helping clean up the surrounding areas and build houses in 2007. Martin most recently led a group of 51 student-athletes to Grace Advantures Youth Camp to help clear trails and repair cabins.

Martin’s 2008 squad turned in its fourth straight undefeatd regular season and advanced to the NCAA playoffs for the eighth consecutive year. GVSU is the only school in the country to appear in the last eight NCAA DII playoffs. The Lakers’ fourth consecutive GLIAC title was challenged by Ashland as the Eagles led GVSU by a 36-21 margin with 6:37 left in the third quarter. However, a 27-0 scoring run in just over a quarter gave the Lakers a 48-36 lead en route to a 48-42 victory. GVSU then claimed an impressive 40-7 victory over the Eagles in second-round NCAA playoff action at Lubbers Stadium. The Lakers built a 24-0 halftime lead and held the ball for first 11:24 of the third quarter. Grand Valley State dropped a 19-13 double overtime decision to eventual NCAA DII National Champion Minnesota-Duluth in quarterfinal action to finish the campaign with an 11-1 mark. Seven players earned all-america honors and 22 were named All-GLIAC. OC Billy Eisenhardt and DL Dan Skuta were consensus first-team all-america honorees.

The 2007 Laker football team dominated foes much like the pre-

vious three years. Grand Valley State cruised through the regular season untouched. The Laker offense and defense ranked among the top three in virtually every GLIAC category, including leading the league in four defensive categories. The Lakers ended North Dakota’s season for the third straight year in a second-round playoff game and then captured its sixth regional crown in the last seven years with a 41-21 victory over Central Washington. Despite being undefeated, Grand Valley State went on the road for a semifinal contest at one-loss Northwest Missouri State. The Lakers led at the half and trailed by just one point (17-16) early in the fourth quarter, but a turnover and couple of big plays by the Bearcats proved to be to much for Grand Valley State in a 34-16 loss. Four Lakers earned consensus all-america honors and 20 were awarded All-GLIAC plaudits. GVSU led the GLIAC in scoring defense (14.5), total defense (303.6), pass efficiency defense (95.6) and QB sacks (42), while ranking second in pass defense (154.7) and rush defense (148.9). Offensively, the Lakers ranked among the top three in six seperate categories. Grand Valley State held nine-of-13 opponents under 14 points and only one scored more than 21 points.

GVSU 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 the MIAA’s Northwest Missouri State in the title game. 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.

The 2005 Laker squad held 11-of-13 opponents to 17 points or less, including seven that scored 10 points or fewer in their title run.

Conversely, the Laker offense broke the 30-point mark eight times and outscored their opponents 434-159. Eighteen Lakers earned AllGLIAC plaudits, including nine that earned All-GLIAC First-Team honors. Eight 2005 squad members also earned all-america plaudits, including two (Mike McFadden and Josh Bourke) that were consensus all-americans.

GVSU opened the 2005 season with an impressive 30-10 win over West Michigan rival Ferris State before a then GVSU single-

SEASON PREVIEW The 2009 football campaign will begin much like each of the last seven football seasons -- with Grand Valley State ranked #1 in the country. The Lakers have opened each of the last eight years ranked number one in a preseason poll. In four of the seven previous years that GVSU opened the year number one, they have gone on to claim the NCAA DII National Championship (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006).

Grand Valley State is 94-6 in its last 100 games and 109-11 since 2000. The 2009 Laker senior class is 38-2 overall, 31-0 in regular season action and 29-0 in GLIAC action. However, the 2009 senior class is not overjoyed with a 3-2 playoff record the last two years.

“The 2009 senior class was a part of the 2006 National Championship and they have won three straight GLIAC titles, but I know they don’t feel like they have performed to the best of their abilities the last two years in the playoffs,” said sixthyear head coach Chuck Martin. “I know that the result of our last game (19-13 double overtime loss to Minnesota-Duluth in the Super Region 3 title game) has not sat well with our coaches and players. No one associated Quarterbacks with our football program has Class forgot about that game, nor Player Brad Iciek* Sr. should they,” said Martin.

Marquel Neasman Jr. Offense The Lakers return 21 lettermen and nine players that have started games on offense over the last three years. GVSU will get the services back of two receivers (Mike Koster and Ryan Bass) that missed the 2008 season. In addition, the Lakers return 2,790 rushing yards, 2,408 passing yards and 1,555 receiving yards for the 2009 season.

Quarterback Senior Brad Iciek enters his senior year with a 23-2 record as a starting quarterback. Iciek, who is a two-time finalist for the Harlon Hill Award, threw 2,252 yards and 31 TDs despite playing under

three quarters in seven of 12 games a year ago. Iciek heads into his senior year with 5,267 passing yards and 63 TD passes. Junior Marquel Neasman will serve as Iciek’s backup and has gained valuable experience the last two years. A host of freshman will battle to make an impression for the future.

“Brad has been outstanding the last two years in every facet of the game,” said Martin. “He managed the game and did everything we asked within the framework of our offense. He was able to get us in the proper play prior to the snap and then he did an outstanding job of getting the ball where it needed to be after the snap.” running backs Grand Valley State returns its top eight ground gainers from running backs Class the 2008 season.

Blake Smolen earned All- * Denotes returning starter GLIAC honors after rushing for 639 yards and catching 28 passes for a team-high 636 yards.

Senior P.T. Gates is a threat every time he touches the ball and now has a year under his belt in the Laker offense. Sophomore Lawrence Kimble and redshirt freshman Erik Thompson will battle for carries in the Laker running game.

“I am pleased with where we are at the running back position,” said Martin. “We have a number of options in terms of combinations that we can put on the field. I also feel that we have a number of different styles among our stable of running backs. We are at our best offensively when we are able to run the ball and we have always wanted to be balanced in our offensive attack.”

Wide receivers The Laker receiving unit will get back the services of two key performers that missed the 2008 campaign. Junior Ryan Bass was injured in the Lakers’ first game, while junior Mike Koster missed the season due to academics.

Smolen will split time between running back and receiver, while giving opponents fits in terms of matchups. Smolen led the squad in receiving yards (636) and ranked third in catches (28) with seven TDs. Seniors Cameron Bradford is a physical receiver that turned into one of the top blockers among the Laker wideouts, while fellow senior Jahan Jones is probably the fastest among Laker wideouts. Carlos Clark will push for increased playing time and sophomore Greg Gay caught 13 passes for 163

SEASON PREVIEW yards and four TDs in limited time. Eastern Michigan transfer David Fox will be a nice addition to the GVSU receiving corps.

“We have gone a lot of question marks a year ago, to a lot of options heading into the 2009 season,” said Martin. “We have nine players that have played a lot of football in the receiving rotation.”

“Much like the offensive line, I don’t think you can ever have enough depth on the defensive line,” said Martin. “I like the players that we will line up with and I feel that this might be one of the most athletic defensive lines that we have put on the field in a few years.”

SEASON REVIEW

The 2008 Grand Valley State football season certainly didn’t end the way everyone associated with Laker football wanted. GVSU had won 15 straight NCAA Division II home playoff games and looked to run that streak to 16 versus the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs. However, a solid performance by UMD and an uncharacteristic mistake and turnover filled performance by Grand Valley State resulted in a 19-13 double overtime win for the Bulldogs. Three turnovers, three missed field goals and untimely mistakes cost the Lakers dearly in the end.

Grand Valley State finished the 2008 campaign with an 11-1 record. Although the postseason didn’t end the way the Lakers would have liked, Grand Valley State turned in many great performances during the 2008 campaign. The Lakers claimed their fourth straight undefeated regular season and their fourth straight undefeated GLIAC campaign. The Lakers have won 40 straight GLIAC games and 42 straight regular season games.

The Lakes rolled through the first seven games of the season, winning by an average scored of 41.7 - 8.5. The Laker offense scored 40 or more points four times and shutout two opponents.

Game eight saw Ashland build a 36-21 lead over the Lakers, but 27 unan-

56

swered points in just over a quarter of action in the second half gave GVSU a 48-36 lead en route to a 48-42 win. Two road wins to end the year set the Lakers up with a home field advantage in the first round of the NCAA DII Playoffs versus those very same Eagles that gave the Lakers fits just three weeks earlier.

However, this game shaped up to be nothing like the first meeting as GVSU built a 24-0 halftime lead and eventually led 27-0 after three quarters. Ashland scored early in the fourth quarter, but the Lakers added 13 more points en route to a 40-7 win. GVSU struggled offensively for most of afternoon versus Minnesota-Duluth. The Lakers took a 30 lead on a Todd Carter field goal, but UMD answered with a touchdown.

Carter pulled the Lakers within a point (7-6) at the half, but the Bulldogs took a 13-6 lead midway through the third quarter. Grand Valley State battled the entire game and moved into scoring position in the closing moments. Iciek hit tight end Jonn Mathews with a 7-yard TD pass and Carter added the PAT to send the contest into overtime. The Lakers missed a golden opportunity in the first overtime when they forced a Minnesota-Duluth turnover, however, after their own drive stalled Carter was wide right on a 37-yard field goal attempt.

UMD scored in the second OT and

Iciek’s fourth down pass intended for Mathews was picked off to seal the Bulldog victory.

The 2008 Grand Valley State senior class finished with a 51-2 career record, two NCAA DII National Championships, four GLIAC Championships and 42-0 in regular season action. Several Lakers earned postseason honors in 2008, highlighted by seven players that earned all-america honors. Senior center Billy Eisenhardt and senior defensive tackle Dan Skuta were consensus all-american, while offensive tackle Sam Allen, running back James Berezik, wide receiver Blake Smolen, tight end Jonn Mathews and defensive lineman Danny Richard earned allamerica plaudits. QB Brad Iciek was finalist for the Harlon Hill Award for the second straight year and Skuta was a finalist for the Gene Upshaw Award that goes to the top interior lineman in DII. Grand Valley State placed 22 players on the All-GLIAC teams, highlighted by Berezik being named the Offensive Back of the Year, Eisenhardt earning the Offensive Lineman of the Year and Skuta being named the Co-Defensive Lineman of the Year.

Allendale, Mich. - No. 2 Grand Valley State opened the 2008 season in fine fashion with touchdowns in its first four possessions and never looked back en route to a 49-21 victory over GLIAC foe Indianapolis (1-1) before the fourth-largest crowd in Lubbers Stadium history (13,201).

Allendale, Mich. - #2 Grand Valley State led 28-0 after one quarter and 45-0 after two quarters en route to a 52-6 victory over #23 Michigan Tech Saturday night before a Lubbers Statdium crowd of 12,405. GVSU improves to 4-0 overall and in GLIAC action, while Michigan Tech falls to 3-2 and 2-2. GVSU will hit the road for a GLIAC tilt at Tiffin next Saturay (Oct. 4).

The Lakers made a statement quickly as Blake Smolen (Grosse Ile, Mich.) took the opening kickoff back 31 yards to the Michigan Tech 48.

James Berezik (Fraser, Mich./Warren De La Salle) tallied runs of 13 and 10-yards, followed by runs of one and 22-yards by Smolen. Freshman Greg Gay (Macomb, Mich./Dakota) finished the 5-play, 48-yard drive with a 2-yard TD run at the 12:50 mark of the first quarter. Michigan Tech picked up just two yards on three plays and was forced to punt. P.T. Gates returned the punt 21 yards to the MTU 48 and the Laker offense was back in action. QB Brad Iciek was sacked twice, but completed passes for 25 and 32-yards to TE Jonn Mathews. The 32-yard reception was on fourth down and went for a TD to put GVSU up 14-0 with 8:57 remaining in the opening quarter.

"I thought we really got off to a fast start and put Michigan Tech back on their heals," said fourth-year head coach Chukck Martin. "We really came out playing fast and when we do that we are a good football team."

Grand Valley State's Brad Howard (Mishawaka, Ind.) forced a fumble by MTU's Phil Milbrath that DT Danny Richard recovered.

Smolen rushed for nine yards on first down and Iciek hit Mathews with a 27-yard scoring pass. PK Todd Carter (Flint, Mich.) hit the third of his seven PATs for a 21-0 GVSU lead. Drive number four for the Lakers consisted of four plays and covered 83 yards for a score. Iciek flipped a pass to Berezik that covered 42 yards and Mathews caught a 2-yard pass, followed by a 18-yard pass and catch from Iciek to Gay. Smolen then hauled in a 21-yard scoring pass from Iciek and GVSU led 28-0 after one quarter. Howard picked off a Steve Short pass at the MTU 22 and Iciek quickly converted that turnover in points as he hit Berezik with a 22-yard scoring pass to up the Laker lead to 35-0.

Backup QB Marquel Neasman (Bradenton, Fla) drove the Lakers 47 yards in eight plays as Carter connected on a 28-yard field goal.

Gates then set up the Lakers' final scored of the half when he returned a punt 71 yards to the MTU six. Gates finished the scoring drive with a 6-yard TD run.

The Lakers' 45 first half points were their most since scoring 50 in the first half of a playoff game versus Indiana (Pa.) in 2002. Iciek led the starting offense to touchdowns on five-of-six first half possessions. Michigan Tech scored its only points on its opening possession of the second half, while GVSU sophomore Justin Sherrod (Wyoming, Mich./Park) scored the Lakers' only points of the second half on a 6-yard TD run midway through the fourth quarter.

Iciek completed 9-of-10 passes for 190 yards and four TDs. Lawrence Kimble (Muskegon, Mich./Mona Shores) rushed for 56 yards on 14 carries, while Gates chipped in 46 yards on seven carries. Mathews caught four passes for 86 yards and two TDs. Defensively, Howard recorded nine tackles, two TFL (-7), forced a fumble, and picked off a pass. Matt Baker (Byron Center, Mich./South Christian) and Zach Breen (Rockford, Mich.) each collected seven tackles. GVSU tallied four QB sacks and 11 tackles for loss.

Tiffin, Ohio - #2 Grand Valley State built a 42-0 halftime lead and never looked back en route to a 49-0 shutout win over Tiffin University Saturday. GVSU improves to 5-0 on the year and will likely move up to the #1 spot in the next AFCA coaches poll with Valdosta State losing to Delta State.

The Laker offense got on the board early as LB Matt Flutur returned the opening kickoff 43 yards to the Tiffin 27 yard line. QB Brad Iciek hit Jonn Mathews with a 10-yard scoring pass on the fourth play from scrimmage and PK Todd Carter kicked the first of his seven PATs for a 7-0 Laker lead just 1:32 into the game. Redshirt freshman safety Zach Breen picked off a pass and returned it 80 yards to the Tiffin 5-yard line midway through the first quarter. Iciek hit Redshirt freshman Greg Gay with a 5-yard pass for a TD and GVSU led 14-0. Following three plays for a -4 yards for the Dragons, Iciek drove the Laker 65-yards in six plays and hit RB Blake Smolen with a 33-yard TD pass on the final play of the first quarter.

Sophomore DL Danny Richard blocked a Tiffin punt that was recovered by the Lakers on the Tiffin 24 yard line. Iciek found Gay in the corner of the end zone four plays later with a 16-yard scoring pass for a 28-0 GVSU lead. The Laker defense continued to dominate and forced another three and out. Iciek finished an 8-play, 55-yard drive with his fifth TD pass of the day and his third to Gay that covered 10 yards. Reserve QB Marquel Neasman finished the first half for the Laker offense and hit WR Carlos Clark with a 15-yard TD pass to up the GVSU halftime lead to 42-0. The second half consisted of Neasman handing the ball off to sophomore RB Justin Sherrod and the reseve defense holding on to the shutout. Tiffin moved inside the Laker 10 yard line on its opening drive of the third quarter, but the defense held Tiffin on nine plays inside the Laker 10 to keep the shutout alive. Sherrod broke loose with a 44-yard scoring run midway through the fourth quarter to conclude the scoring.

Sherrod led the Laker ground game with 99 yards and TD on 19 carries, while sophomore James Berezik added 75 yards on 10 carries. Iciek completed 9-of-16 passes for 115 yards and five TDs, while Neasman completed 2-of-3 for 38 yards and a TD. Smolen hauled in three receptions for 61 yards and a TD, while Gay turned all three catches into TDs that covered 31 total yards. Freshman LB Blair Hollis led the defense with nine tackles and two tackles for loss (-9), while Kris Sitgraves chipped in five tackles and an interception. Senior DL Dan Skuta picked up three tackles and a QB sack. His QB sack tied him for third all-time in Laker annals with 26 career QB sacks. GVSU recorded a season-high eight QB sacks (-55) and 13 tackles for loss (-76). GVSU held Tiffin to -15 yards rushing, the fourth lowest rushing total for an opponent in GVSU football history.

Allendale, Mich. - #1-Ranked Grand Valley State built a 28-7 halftime lead and never looked back en route to a convincing 41-10 victory over Hillsdale College before the fourth largest crowd in Lubbers Stadium history (14,161). GVSU improves to 6-0 both overall and in GLIAC action, while Hillsdale falls to 4-3 overall and 3-3 in GLIAC play.

The Lakers scored TDs on their first three possessions, highlighted by a 3-play, 99-yard scoring drive on its opening possession. Hillsdale downded a punt at the GVSU one yard line following an 8-play, 33-yard drive. Junior QB Brad Iciek hit TE Jonn Mathews on first down for 11 yards, followed by rush for 0 yards by RB James Berezik. Iciek then found a wide open Blake Smolen over the middle with a pass that he took 88 yards for a TD. The pass play was the fourth longest in GVSU football history. Hillsdale was unable to move the ball and was forced to punt on its second possession. RB P.T. Gates returned the punt 16 yards and on first down Berezik broke a couple of tackles and raced 60 yards for a TD to up the Laker lead to 14-0.

Hillsdale pulled to within 14-7 with an 11-play, 80-yard drive that took 5:42 off the clock. The seven points were the first points scored against Grand Valley State in the first quarter this season (108-7). Grand Valley State answered quickly with a 6-play, 81-yard scoring drive that took 2:19 off the clock. Iciek hit Smolen with a 41-yard scoring pass over the middle again to up the lead to 21-7. The Laker scoring continued and Berezik continued his stellar running with runs of 25, 9 and 2 yards to give GVSU a first-and-goal. Smolen toted the ball to the six and Iciek hit Mathews with a TD pass in the corner of the end zone for a 28-7 Laker lead. Berezik rushed for 104 yards on eight carries in the first half, while Smolen hauled in three passes for 148 yards and two TDs. Iciek completed 6-of-9 passes for 196 yards.

Iciek drove GVSU 60-yards in five plays for a touchdown on its opening drive in the second half. Berezik closed the drive with a 22-yard TD run, then added a 32-yard TD scamper midway through the fourth quarter for the final points in a 41-10 lead.

Findlay, Ohio - #1-Ranked Grand Valley State claimed a 34-10 road win over Findlay Saturday afternoon at Donnell Stadium in Finlday, Ohio. GVSU, which upped its record to 7-0 both overall and in GLIAC play, will host Ashland next Saturday (Oct. 25) at Lubbers Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Grand Valley State forced a Findlay punt on its opening possession, however, junior QB Brad Iciek was picked off on the Lakers' first play from scrimmage. Findlay drove 69 yards in six plays, highlighted by a double reverse pass from Dustin Zielaskiewicz to DaJerrian Smith that covered 35 yards to the Laker one. Melvin Jackson scored on the next play and Cameron Stevens added the PAT for a 7-0 Findlay lead. The Lakers answered with a 5-play, 68-yard drive that took 2:28 off the clock. James Berezik concluded the drive with a 38-yard scamper to paydirt and Todd Carter added the PAT for a 7-7 tie. Nick Lawrence recovered a fumble on the Oilers first play from scrimmage to set the Lakers up with outstanding field position. Iciek hit TE Jonn Mathews with a 19-yard TD reception on first down for a Laker TD and a 14-7 advantage. GVSU lost a fumble on its own 36 yard line early in the second quarter and Findlay drove 13 yards in six plays before Stevens converted a 32-yard field goal.

Carter gave the Lakers a 17-10 lead with a 27-yard field goal to culminate a 9-play, 28-yard scoring drive with 8:17 left in the second quarter and Iciek hit Mathews with a 13-yard scoring pass over the middle to give the Lakers a 24-10 lead with 1:44 left in the opening half. Findlay drove to the Laker one yard line in the closing seconds of the first half, but Keoishe Jones blocked a 19-yard field goal attempt as time expired.

GVSU drove 69 yards in nine plays midway through the third quarter, but stalled inside the Findlay 10. Carter booted a 22yard field goal to up the Laker lead to 27-10. Iciek then hit Berezik with a 77-yard scoring pass midway through the fourth quarter for the final points in the 34-10 win.

Sophomore James Berezik turned in a career day and entered the Laker record books. Berezik rushed for a career-high 188 yards on 23 carries and caught four passes for 104 yards. Berezik became just the second player in Laker football history to have over 100 yards rushing and receiving in the same game. Michael Tennessee accomplished the feat on 10/4/03 versus Michigan Tech with 123 yards rushing and 105 yards receiving. Iciek completed 8-of-16 passes for 104 yards and three TDs. Mathews caught three passes for 49 yards and two TDs. LB Gary Anderson led the defense with 11 tackles, while CB Chris Huley chipped in eight tackles and a pass deflection. LB/DL Dan Skuta added eight tackles, a QB sack and two pass deflections. Skuta's QB sack moves him into second all-time with 30, just one behind all-time leader Mike McFadden's 31. DL Danny Richard added seven tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss (-5). Punter Justin Trumble dropped five punts inside the Findlay 20 yard line and averaged 42.2 yards per punt.

Junior QB Brad Iciek hit James Berezik with a 22-yard scoring pass over the middle for the first of 90 combined points on the evening at the 11:54 mark. PK Todd Carter added the PAT for a 7-0 Laker lead. Ashland answered and tied the score in just 3:34 with a Bill Cundiff 24yard pass to Joe Horn. RB/WR Blake Smolen returned the ensuing kickoff 36 yards to the 50 and it took just seven plays for the Lakers to drive 50 yards as Berezik scored on a fourth and one from the two. The Eagles answered again as D'Marris McCoy scored on a five-yard run.

The second quarter started like the first quarter ended as Berezik scored on a 34-yard shovel pass from Iciek on the first play. From that point on Ashland held the ball for nearly the entire quarter as the Lakers lost a fumble on a kickoff and Ashland recorded a safety. The Eagles tied the game at 21-21 and then took a 23-21 lead when Iciek tripped and touched his knee in the endzone with 7:42 left in the second quarter. Ashland held possession of the ball for 13:22 of the second quarter, but managed just nine points. The Eagles kept the pressure on the Laker defense in the third quarter, scoring on their first two possessions to take a 36-21 lead with 6:37 left in the third quarter. The third quarter lead for Ashland marked the first time since Oct. 23rd 2004 versus Northwood that an opponent held a lead in the third quarter in a regular season game.

Iciek started the comeback when he found Smolen streaking down the left sideline for a 75-yard touchdown. The Lakers attempted an onside kick, but Ashland's Alan Dunson made a one-handed grab and gave the Eagles a golden opportunity to answer. However, a blitz put pressure on Cundiff and his errant pass was picked off safety Jacob McGucking to give the Lakers life. Iciek drove GVSU 85 yards in seven plays, highlighted by a 38-yard pass to Greg Gay. Iciek hit TE Jonn Mathews with a two-yard TD pass, but the two-point conversion run failed and the Lakers trailed 36-34 with 1:54 left in the third. The Laker defense continued to stand tall and forced a three-and-out. AU's Derek Riedel uncorked an 18-yard punt to set up the Laker offense on the Ashland 39-yard line. It took GVSU just four plays as Smolen scored on an incredible 20-yard run to give the Lakers their first lead in nearly two quarters. Iciek hit Gay with a two-point play pass to give GVSU a 42-36 lead. The GVSU defense held Ashland for its third straight possession as Cundiff's fourth-down pass on the Laker 29-yard line was incomplete. Iciek directed a 15-play, 71-yard drive that consumed 8:20 off the clock and ended with his one-yard TD run to give GVSU a 48-36 lead. GVSU converted a key third-and-24 play when Iciek hit Berezik with a shovel pass that he took to the AU five. Ashland scored a TD with 11 seconds left in the game on fourth-and-14 pass to pull within six (48-42). However, the Eagles were unable to come up with the onside kick as it didn't travel 10 yards and went out of bounds.

Iciek completed 16-of-25 passes for 319 yards and four TDs, while Berezik tallied his second straight game with over 100 yards rushing and receiving. Berezik rushed for 106 yards and one TD on 20 carries and caught six passes for 101 yards and two TDs. Smolen tallied 239 all-purpose yards. Tight end Scott Blasko caught a career-high five passes for a career-high 67 yards. Four of Blasko's five catches resulted in first downs. Brad Howard and Gary Anderson each collected 10 tackles, while Danny Richard added seven tackles, two QB sacks and two TFL. Safety Jacob McGuckin added seven tackles and an interception.

Game 12 November 29, 2008

Allendale, Mich. - Minnesota-Duluth scored in the second overtime and then picked off a pass to secure a 19-13 victory over Grand Valley State Saturday afternoon in NCAA DII Quarterfinal action. Minnesota-Duluth advances to a semifinal matchup with California (Pa.) next Saturday at a time and site to be determined. GVSU finishes the 2008 campaign with an 11-1 record.

Grand Valley State struck first as Todd Carter hit a 28-yard field goal with 2:57 left in the first quarter. The 3-0 Laker lead was the first for a UMD opponent in 14 games. Junior QB Brad Iciek tossed the first of his three interceptions on the day and the Bulldogs needed just two plays to go 27 yards for a TD. Senior QB Ted Schlafke hit Isaac Odim with the 16-yard scoring pass to give UMD a 7-3 lead. Carter pulled the Lakers to within 7-6 with a 36-yard field goal at the 11:08 mark of the second quarter and that remained the score at the half.

Minnesota-Duluth took a 13-6 lead at the 1:56 mark of the third quarter when Schlafke hit D.J. Winfield with a 34-yard scoring pass. The PAT was blocked to keep the Lakers within striking distance. GVSU had one last chance after forcing a UMD punt with 3:14 left in the game. The Lakers drove 44 yards in nine plays as Iciek hit senior TE Jonn Mathews with a 7-yard scoring pass with just over a minute left. Carter added the PAT to send the game into overtime.

GVSU had the ball first and was forced to attempt a field goal. Carter's attempt was wide left and UMD took possession. On the Bulldogs' first play Dan Skuta picked off a pass to send the contest into a second overtime. Minnesota-Duluth drove 25 yards in four plays as Odim scored on a 3-yard run. The PAT was blocked and UMD held a 19-13 lead. Iciek was picked off for the third time on the day on the Lakers' second play from scrimmage and UMD had the victory.

Blake Smolen rushed for 128 yards on 27 carries, while Jonn Mathews hauled in six passes for 129 yards. Iciek completed just 13-of-46 passes for 160 yards. The Lakers blocked two PATs, blocked a punt and stopped a fake punt, however, the Lakers also missed three field goals.

Junior CB Rob Carlisle picked off two passes and recorded six tackles. Jacob McGuckin led the defense with 12 tackles, while Justin Victor, Brad Howard and Danny Richard each collected nine tackles.

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 festivities that surround a Laker football Saturday during the fall. Most recently, a new Daktronics Scoreboard with a ProStar Video Display board was added for the 2005 season. Two seating sections were added to each end of the home side and a new student section was built to accomadate the stellar student turnout for Laker football games in 2004.

The Lakers have moved all of their football operations into the GVSU Football Center and the Rob Odejewski Weight Room in 2002. The Football Center includes a state-of-the-art locker room, equipment room, the Todd Jager training room and meeting rooms. The design doubled the size of the former building in the north end zone by adding over 4,000 square feet (2,000 sqaure feet on each side). Permanent lighting, a new playing surface, and six executive suites located on each side of the press box are additions added in the last four years. The student seating area, which moved to south endzone in 1998, has created renewed excitment among the student body. The student seating section has doubled in capacity from 1,300 to 2,700 with the new bleachers. The Laker student seating section is routinely filled to capacity with the overflow moving onto the track.

LUBBERS STADIUM With the increased seating in the south end zone and the two new sections on the home side, Lubbers Stadium now has a permanent seating capacity for 8,550 fans. The Lakers set a Lubbers Stadium and GLIAC single-game record in 2008 as 14,612 fans watched Grand Valley State claim a 31-13 victory over Ferris 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 six all-time single-game crowds and four of the top 11 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. Designed with the future in mind, the stadium can have permanent seating added when needed, with ultimate expansion to 20,000 seats. A new track was also installed in the summer of 1998.

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

Lubbers Stadium was built around the existing football field of Prescription Athletic Turf (PAT). The field, which is drained and heated by more than seven miles of tubing and electric coils, was installed in 1972, and opened in 1973. A new automatic sprinkler system was also installed in the summer of 1998.

The Lubbers Stadium press box was designed to accomodate both print and electronic media representatives.

It’s spacious features include a television booth, two radio booths and an open air television and film platform on the second deck.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It was ironic that Harkema opened the 1973 campaign against his alma mater Kalamazoo College, where he won 10 varsity letters and led the Hornets to six MIAA championships.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Beck’s 1986 team posted a 9-2 record, but that was only an inkling of this to come. undefeated in 1989 After a pair of 7-4 seasons in 1987 and 1988, the Lakers posted their first undefeated regular season with an 11-0 record and the final Great Lakes Conference Championship in 1989. GV led Division II in total offense, averaging 480.9 yards per game and also in points with 44.5.

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

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

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

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

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

STORIED TRADITION GV won the inaugural MIFC crown, finished with a 10-2 record and lost to East Texas State, 20-14, in the playoffs.

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

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

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

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

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

Kelly decided to go with a youth movement in 1999 and the inexperience showed as the Lakers stumbled to a 5-5 finish. The

2000 season started slowly as a tough early schedule dropped GVSU to 0-3. However, the Lakers did not quit after the rough start and responded with a six-game winning streak to end the season at 7-4.

In 2001 the dividends of getting young players some vaulable

experience showed as the Lakers not only won their first- ever playoff game but advanced to the 2001 National Championship.

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

GVSU’s march to the championship game was not easy, however, as quarterback and Harlon Hill Finalist Curt Anes, was injured in the Lakers’ first playoff game. Grand Valley responded with a first round 42-14 victory over Bloomsburg, a 33-30 second round win over Saginaw Valley State, and a semifinal win over Catawba College, 34-16, with two back up quarterbacks. In the championship game against North Dakota the Lakers took a 14-10 lead with 2:46 left in the game, but the Fighting Sioux responded with a last minute drive of their own to take the title, 17-14.

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

Curt Anes returned from a serious knee injury to guide GVSU to a perfect 10-0 regular season mark. GVSU defeated three ranked teams en route to the undefeated season. The playoffs began with a convincing 62-13 win over C.W. Post. Then came a matchup against longtime nemesis Indiana (Pa.). GVSU entered the game 06 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.

STORIED TRADITION 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 high-powered Aggie offense to just two field goals, while GVSU’s All-American placekicker, David Hendrix, booted three field goals, the final one coming in overtime to give a young GVSU squad a 9-6 win.

A resounding win over West Michigan rival Ferris State followed as the Laker defense scored a pair of TDs. Wins over Wayne State, Hillsdale, Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan built the Lakers’

overall winning streak to 20 games and the conference streak to 29 games. A date with fourth-ranked Saginaw Valley State was next on the ledger and GVSU and GLIAC record crowd of 12,832 attended the much anticipated contest at Lubbers Stadium. GVSU turnovers and miscues filled the second half and the Cardinals capitalized to claim a 34-20 victory.

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

Hawkins forced a fumble by the Sioux QB that he in turn picked up and raced 59 yards to the North Dakota 20-yard line. All-American Michael Tennessee scored three plays later from three yards out to give GVSU a 10-0 lead. GVSU led 10-3 in the closing minutes as North Dakota was driving. Senior linebacker Mike Hoad would have none of that and picked off a pass on the Laker 10 to preserve the win and give GVSU back-to-back NCAA DII National Championships. The 2003 GVSU senior class etched their

106

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

STORIED TRADITION 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 first-teamers.

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.

GVSU concluded the 2006 season with college football’s longest active winning streak (28 games) and the winners in 85-oftheir-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 teambest 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, however, a 19-13 double overtime loss to eventual national champion Minnesota-Duluth 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 allamerica selections.

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 programs in college football.

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

.685 - West Chester

.687 - Valdosta State

.715 - Bentley

.723 - Grand Valley State

By Percentage

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

Jeff Fox (1998), Eric Lynch (1989-90), Curt Anes (2001), Cullen Finnerty (2006), and current starting QB Brad Iciek (2007-08) 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 while leading Grand Valley State to its first National Championship.

Since the new century began, the Lakers have completed eight seasons of football. During that time span, where GVSU earned four national championships, the Lakers have completed five undefeated regular seasons and won more games than any other Division I, Division I-AA, and Division II football team.

The Lakers have staked their claim as the team of the decade for the 2000’s.

All-Divisions Most Wins in the 2000s

Florence, Alabama has become a “home away from home” for the Laker football program in the 2000’s. GVSU has made the trip from Allendale to Florence five times this decade. The Lakers own an impressive 5-1 record in national semi-final games, along with a 4-1 record in the championship game.

The Lakers hold the longest active streak for playoff appearances in Division II. GVSU has appeared in the playoffs every year since being in the championship game in 2001. Grand Valley holds a 24-4 record in the during the eightyear playoff streak.

2006NATIONAL 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.

2005NATIONAL 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 the 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 week before. As the game came down to the final seconds, Kirk Carruth and Joe Ballard stuffed a last gasp attempt 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).

2003NATIONAL CHAMPIONS In contrast to the 2002 season, the Lakers took to the road to claim its second 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 seven point victory over Grand Valley’s biggest in-state rival. The win would give the Lakers a berth to the semifinal game in Kingsville, Texas, where Grand Valley ran over highly touted Texas A&M-Kingsville to 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 the last Sioux drive by picking off a pass to give the Lakers the 10-3 win against the team who narrowly defeated them in the 2001 championship game.

2002NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Arguably the best and most explosive team in Division II history, the 2002 season saw GVSU tally 11 all-americans, while the Lakers went wire-to-wire as the #1 team in the nation. 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. 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 after a Valdosta State comeback effort put the Blazers in the lead in the fourth quarter, Curt Anes found Kircus late in the fourth quarter to cap off a 65 yard drive to take the lead. Darren Smith would then snag 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 along with three touchdowns to lead the Lakers to their first national championship.

Game 1 Aug. 27, 2005

Game 5 Oct. 1, 2005

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

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

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

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

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

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

Game 26 Dec. 2, 2006

Game 30 Sept. 15, 2007

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

Entering the 2009 season, the Lakers are riding a new streak as they look for their fifth consecutive undefeated regular season.

Game 37 Nov. 3, 2007

Game 40 Dec. 1, 2007

QUARTERBACK U Brad Iciek enters his senior season in 2009 with two years of experience under center and two years of of being named a finalist for the Harlon Hill Award. No Laker in history has been named a Harlon Hill finalist three times.

At the end of the 2006 season, Cullen Finnerty ended his college football career with the Lakers. In 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 at the top with the Lakers, leading GVSU to its first ever national championship during his senior year 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. each of Fox’s three seasons at the helm of the offense still 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 had 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 whne he would finish third in the voting.

Cullen Finnerty finished his career with three national championship victories and a second place tally in the Hill voting in 2006. Brad Iciek currently carries the tradition forward as he seeks his third straight chance to claim NCAA Division II’s top award.

ALL AMERICANS This past season, Dan Skuta garnered numerous all-america honors for the second consecutive season while being named a finalist for the Gene Upshaw Award. Billy Eisenhardt earned First-Team awards from Daktronics, AFCA, and d2football.com. Sam Allen was also recognized by d2football.com on the first team and by Daktronics on the second team.

Danny Richard was honored with his first national exposure after his sophomore season when he was tabbed by Don Hansen’s Football Gazette as a second-team all-american.

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 NCAA ranks.

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

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

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

Just before each game the football players rush the field toward the student section to the cheers of well over 10,000 fans at each home game. It doesn’t get any better than Laker football in Lubbers Stadium.

Crowd noise isn’t the only reason Lubbers Stadium is an intimidating place to play.

GVSU hasn’t lost a regular season home game in over three years.

“The crowd [GVSU student section] was extremely loud. We had a difficult time at that end of the field the whole game. They are one of the loudest crowds we’ve played in front of.” -Bob Biggs, UC Davis head coach after GVSU defeated UC Davis in 2002 Lubbers Stadium is one of the most exciting Division II venues in the country. The stands are regularly packed with thousands of excited students providing a homefield advantage in the south end zone. Opposing players are surrounded on game day between the student section, Laker fans that fill the seats on each side, as well as the GVSU Marching Band in the north end zone.

Both fans and players are able to experience game day in Allendale more than most any other program in the country. In the last three seasons, the Lakers have played seven 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.

In 2009, the Lakers began a partnership with Mentor 1, a program whose local mission is to find mentors for at-risk youth in West Michigan.

MEDIA COVERAGE GVSU has appeared a number of times in Sports Illustrated because of its success in the 2000’s. The Lakers have also been highlighted twice in the “Leading Off” section of the magazine. They have also been featured on the national stage by USA Today. The Lakers appeared on College Football Live’s 50 States Tour in 2009 during the show that featured the State of Michigan on ESPNU. The Lakers are also regularly covered by the Grand Rapids Press, which is seen by over 300,000 readers in West Michigan on a daily basis. The Grand Rapids Press also runs the website mlive.com which has a dedicated page to cover GVSU athletics.

All of Grand Valley State’s home games are shown live on the internet and on TV on the Comcast and Charter cable networks in Michigan. GVSU has also been on the ESPN family of networks seven times in the last eight years.

FACILITIES Arend D. Lubbers Stadium is the home of Laker football. The Lakers have played at Lubbers Stadium since 1972 and have amassed a .803 winning percentage in those 37 seasons.

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

In recent years the stadium has expanded the home stands by one full section on each side, a new student section was built, luxury suites were added, and a new scoreboard with a prostar video display was constructed in the north end zone.

Lubbers Stadium Quick Facts: All-Time Home Record: 132-32-1 All-Time Home Playoff Record: 13-3 Record Attendance: 14,612 Field Surface: Natural Grass Year Built: 1972

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 media press conferences.

Right next to the Football Center sits the Rob Odejewski weight room which was opened just before the 2002 season.

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

LAKERS IN THE NFL GVSU saw two players from the 2008 squad enter NFL camps by signing free agent contracts in 2009. Dan Skuta and Sam Allen were both picked up by teams right after the draft and are currently participating in their off-season camps.

Skuta and Allen are just the latest players on a list of former Lakers looking to turn the game of football into a career. There are five other Lakers currently on NFL rosters; Eric Fowler (Lions), Derrick Jones (Titans), Brandon Barnes (Colts), and Brandon Carr (Chiefs).

Brandon Carr just completed an impressive rookie campaign in 2008 with the Kansas City Chiefs.

He became the first Kansas City rookie cornerback to start all 16 games since Kevin Ross in 1984.

Carr finished fifth on the team in tackles with 77, picked off two passes, and recovered two fumbles.

For his efforts, he was named to the USA Today All-Joe Team which honors players who are overachievers and are overlooked.

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 9 times for the Harlon Hill Award. Current signal caller, Brad Iciek, was the most recent nominee in 2007. In just his first season as the starting QB, Iciek finished 7th in the voting. 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) earned multiple nominations for the award. These five 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 first-place 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 continued the success of Laker quarterbacks by finishing 7th for the Harlon Hill after just his first season as the signal caller. Iciek was the only sophomore to finish in the top 8.

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.

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

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

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

GENE UPSHAW AWARD

Mike McFadden Wins 2005 & 2006 Gene Upshaw Award SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Michael McFadden, a senior defensive end on Grand Valley State University’s national championship team, was selected as the repeat winner of the Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year Award, sponsored by the Manheim Touchdown Club.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kircus caught seven passes for 90 yards and four TDs. Mark Passard completed 20-32 passes for 243 yards and one TD, but was sacked nine times. Brad Pyatt caught six passes for 60 yards, while Jared Jackson hauled in five passes for 75 yards. Adam Matthews rushed 13 times for 50 yards.

Notes... Grand Valley State has now won 22 straight games at Lubbers Stadium...WR David Kircus caught four TD passes (32), breaking college football all-division mark of 28 he set last year. Kircus also has 73 career TD receptions, the second highest total in college football history and just two behind the all-time record of 75...Curt Anes moved past the 10,000-yard mark in career passing yards. Anes has thrown for 10,220 yards and 111 TDs in his career.

Grand Valley Claims Division II National Championship 24 24 24 31

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Instead, North Dakota was dealing with a tough loss.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It wasn't enough.

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

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

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

A-5521 Allendale, Mich. - #1 Ranked Grand Valley State scored 34 first-quarter points and cruised to a 55-20 NCAA DII National Semifinal victory at Lubbers Stadium in Allendale Saturday afternoon. Grand Valley State will now appear in its fourth NCAA DII National Championship game in the last five years. GVSU lost the 2001 title game, but won back-to-back DII National Championships in 2002 and 2003.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Laker defense was dominating, sacking the Harlon Hill Finalist, Jimmy Terwilliger, 10 times for a -42 yards. ESU finished with 10 net rushing yards.

Terwilliger completed 24-of-47 passes for 287 yards and two TDs, with most of that yardage coming when the outcome of the game was already decided. Sophomore LB Anthony Adams recorded 10 tackles, three tackles for loss (-20) and two QB sacks (-19). Kirk Carruth chipped in seven tackles and sack, while Dan Skuta added six tackles and a QB sack. All-American and Gene Upshaw Award finalist Mike McFadden tallied five tackles, four tackles for loss (-13) and three QB sacks (-12). CB Brandon Carr returned a fumble 40 yards for a TD and recorded five tackles. GVSU notched 11 pass deflections and 13 tackles for loss (-72 yards).

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

Lamberson completed five consecutive passes to move the Bearcats downfield. They made it to the 17 but Lamberson was chased out of bounds by

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 has 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 67-yards 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.

Tim W. Selgo

- Director of Athletics

Tim W. Selgo enters his 14th year as athletic director at Grand Valley State. He was appointed athletic director on February 12, 1996 and has put his own stamp of leadership on Laker athletics.

A promoter of a well-rounded athletic department, Selgo has been a key figure in the Lakers’ rise to the top of Division II athletics. Grand Valley State University won its sixth straight Directors' Cup in 2008-09, staking a claim as the top all-around athletic department in the country. GVSU is the first DII school to win the Directors’ Cup six straight years and tied UC Davis (6) for the most Directors’ Cup titles won. The prestigious award is presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), Learfield Sports and the USA TODAY to the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. In addition to the Lakers’ six straight Directors’ Cup titles (2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08, 200809), GVSU finished second in 2001-02 and 2002-03 in the Directors’ Cup standings. In addition, GVSU has won 11 straight Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference President’s Cup titles as the top athletic program in the 13-team GLIAC. The Lakers’ 16 all-time Presiden’t Cup titles top all GLIAC institutions. Grand Valley State has also won 92 GLIAC titles since 2000.

A well respected leader in college athletics, Tim was appointed to the NCAA DII Management Council to serve a term of one year (2009-10). A term on the NCAA DII Management Council is the highest position in DII athletics. Selgo, who is on the NCAA DII Budget and Finance Committee, was named the Division II Central Region Astroturf Athletic Director of the Year in 2006-07 and was also honored as the Central Region AD of the Year in 2002-03.

Selgo has been the key figure in the development of the athletic facilities and programs at Grand Valley State. The Laker Turf Building opened for all university activities in August 2008. The Laker Turf Building will allow 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 GVSU Fieldhouse Arena is going through renovations. GVSU expanded its football stadium seating capacity to 8,550, added executive suites and a new scoreboard with a ProStar video display board. The GVSU Football Center, located in the north end zone of Lubbers Stadium, has been expanded by more than 4,000 feet, and a new track around the football field was installed in the summer of 1998. 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 (31of-33).

Selgo graduated from Toledo in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education and a minor in mathematics. Following graduation, Selgo remained at Toledo as a graduate assistant for the Toledo men’s basketball program and earned his master’s degree in education administration in 1982. He then served as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Toledo from 1982-1985.

In 1985 he was named head women’s basketball coach at Toledo. Selgo served as head coach of the Rockets women’s basketball program for three years, turning around a program that is now at the top of the MAC. Selgo is married to the former Terry Bush and together the couple have three children: Jennifer (24), Rachel (22), and Daniel (16). Jennifer is married to Matt Mitchell and the couple has a newborn son, Trayton.
