Vitzthum will bring along a trio of QBs (Bart Williams, Ryan West, Ollie Ajami) for the 2015 season. Vitzthum mentored one of the most productive running back units in the country in 2013. The group rushed for 2,798 yards and 32 TDs, while accounting for 186.5 yards per game. Michael Ratay (1,012), Chris Robinson (880) and Kirk Spencer (450) led the way for the Laker rushing game.

PREVIEW
The Grand Valley State football program ended the 2014 season winning six of the final eight games, including the final two. However, that was not enough to take away the sting of dropping the opening three games of the season. The Lakers’ faced the toughest regular season schedule in the country as their opponents tallied a winning percentage of .627 (69-41). GVSU’s first three opponents were a combined 324 and the combined opp o n e n t s record of the Lakers’ five loses was 49-8.
Williams saw spot action for the Lakers, while West played in 13 games for Southern Illinois the last two years with six starts. Ryan completed 127-of-231 passes for 1,274 yards and 13 TDs for the Salukis.
The Lakers return 47 letterwinners, including 22 players that have started at some point in their career.
Three redshirt freshmen, Martayveous Carter, Daigien Morgan and Jalen Bryant, will push for playing time and have versatility.
“The first two games played a major role in the totality of our season, losing in overtime at Azusa Pacific in the opener and dropping a 10 point lead in the final six minutes of the second game versus Ohio Dominican,” said Mitchell. “We have to be better in all phases of what we are teaching and the leadership among our players must assume control of the process beginning from the opening practice,” added Mitchell. “We have a number of players that have played a lot of football for our program,” said Mitchell. “When we have been at our best we have been really good on the offensive and defensive fronts. I feel that we have three difference makers on the defensive line and an offensive line that has two potential all-americans.” A year ago the Lakers returned over 9,000 passing yards and 100 touchdown passes between the two quarterbacks (Heath ParQUARTERBACKS ling/Isiah Grimes).

“We obviously don’t return the experience we did last year, but while we lack experience I really feel like we gain a level athleticism,” said Mitchell. “All three quarterbacks have the ability to run and throw the ball and give our offense a little more diversity.” The crew at running back brings speed, power and the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. Seniors Kirk Spencer and Ben Hutchins bring speed and power, while junior Terrell Dorsey brings a little bit of both.

Hutchins, who sat out the 2014 campaign with an injury, has rushed for 588 yards and eight TDs on just 96 carries.
“Three of our returning running backs have been productive throughout their careers and offer a different skill set,” said Mitchell. “This group is versatile, tough and know what we want to do on the offensive side of the ball. Our redshirt freshmen have a great skill set, but they need to show what they can do in fall camp to build our confidence in them.”

Mitchell didn’t realize that the 2015 Major League Baseball draft would play such a key role in the 2015 football season, but it did just that. Two-time, twosport all-american Jamie Potts was selected in the 31st round by the Texas Rangers to throw a major wrench in the Laker receiving unit. Potts has hauled in 125 receptions for 2,131 yards and 23 TDs in his three years of football. Senior Justice Wright missed the 2014 season with an injury, but is a leader among the receiving unit. Junior Joe Robbins hauled in 17 catches for 170 yards WIDE RECEIVERS/ and one TD, while fellow Player Class Justice Wright Sr. junior, Matt Williams, Joe Robbins Jr. pulled down 12 catches for Troy Sassack Jr. Matt Williams Jr. 181 yards and three TDs.

“We obviously lost a weapon in Jamie Potts,” said Mitchell. “When you have a player entering his senior year with 125 catches and over 2,000 yards its a big blow. However, we have quality receivers that need to step up and take on the role of being the go-to player.” The Lakers have a swarm of options at tight end. Four big bodies that are adept at run blocking or pass catching. Sophomore Brian Moran caught three passes for 44 yards and a TD, while Jeremy Byers pulled down two passes for 14 yards and Joey Warner tallied two catches for eight yards and two TDs. Sophomore Nick Keizer turned in a solid spring and will join the mix.
“We have a wide variety of skill sets at tight end,” commented Mitchell. “We ask our tight ends to do a number of things within our offense and this group allows us create matchups that favor what we want to accomplish.” The offensive line returns a nice blend of experi-
ence and youth. Five players have started a significant number games for the Lakers up front, with seven additional players pushing for playing time. Senior left guard Jim Walsh is an all-america candidate and will team with senior Brandon Revenberg to form one of best combinations in DII football. Junior Aaron Cox turned in a solid second half of the year and will be in the mix for a starting spot.

PREVIEW
A sophomore, Keane Belcher, and two redshirt freshmen, Tyler Cuckovich and Dylan Carroll will push for significant playing time, while Sonny Haskins will see action in the middle. A pair of junior college transfers, Mark Rosenquest and Demetrius Campbell, add quality depth, while redshirt freshmen Jacob Howe, John Smutny and Jacari Faulkner will be in the playing rotation. “We have had some outstanding defenses at Grand Valley State and the one common component was a physical, athletic defensive line that changed the line of scrimmage,” said Mitchell. “This defensive line has that ability and if we want to have a championship level defense we will need the 2015 defensive front to play that kind of football.”
Three of the top six tacklers in 2014 resided in the linebacking unit and all three return, along with four additional linebackers that will make a strong push for playing time on defense and on special teams. A trio of juniors lead the way among returning tacklers. David Talley recorded 55 tackles and seven tackles for loss, while Joe Moran added 45 stops and Marquez Gollman chipped LINEBACKERS Player Class in 40.

Heading into the 2015 season the only kicking position that has been solidified has been the place kicking duties held by junior Joel Schipper.

In addition, the depth of our linebackers will strengthen our special teams play.”
A youthful defensive secondary gained valuable experience a year ago and competition for playing time will be a key for the 2015 campaign. Brad Horling is the only senior among this position group so entering the season depth should not be a problem. Horling tallied 54 tackles as a junior and enters his senior year with 198 career stops. Junior Donte Carey recorded 34 tackles in 2015, while sophomores Kyle Short (26) and Garrett Pougnet (22) made great strides in the spring. Sophomore Tre Walton played in all 11 games at cornerback with three starts and will battle Khalil Hill, Devin McKissic and Jacob Studdard for playing time.

Glendora, Calif. - Grand Valley State's football season started with a 26-23 double-overtime loss 2,150 miles from home at Azusa Pacific in suburban Los Angeles, and the critical thing moving forward for the Lakers will be to make sure it doesn't serve as an ending, too. They must pick up their heads and pads, get back to work, practice hard and move forward. Nobody said it would be easy, and the schedule only gets tougher from here. Ohio Dominican visits in week two for the home opener. Ferris State is on the schedule after that. There is a long season ahead, just as it was a long game that started on Thursday at 9 p.m. and ended at 12:43 a.m. Michigan time, well, Friday. "Turnovers, stupid penalties on everybody, coaches and players, I had a bad penalty called on me and I can't do that," said head coach Matt Mitchell. He wasn't finished. "We were not able to protect our quarterback. He took more shots than probably any of the games at the end of last season. We did a lot of things you can't do against a good team." Grand Valley just couldn't grind one out despite making the great effort to grind. The Lakers likely could have put it on ice with 3:48 to go, but sophomore kicker Joel Schipper, who had made a pair of 40-yard field goals earlier, pulled one left of the uprights from just 25 yards away. That put the game in the hands of Terrell Watson, a bruising 240-pound running back, who finally appeared to just wear the Lakers' defense out with 42 carries, 207 yards gained and the winning score in the second overtime. Just as life isn't fair, football can be especially cruel. The defense played well through the night, battled and fought and handed the offense great field position often. Then it was left to them when they had nothing left. "They ran it down our throat a little bit at the end, but we had a few chances to put the game away, had good field position and didn't do anything with it, turned the ball," Mitchell said. "Our kicker made two long ones early, but missed the short one late. We have a lot of things we can clean up." Mitchell expects just that. "We have to regroup, look at tape, work on ball security like we always do, harp on the little things, just get back to work. It's just one game, and it's extremely disappointing, but we don't have a lot of time to sulk." The Lakers did make several great plays, especially on defense in a hard-hitting game. Defensive tackle Frank Beonzi blocked a point-after kick which played into overtime happening in the end. Grand Valley just didn't make enough positive plays to fight through three second-half turnovers and critical penalties. Azusa Pacific made enough plays. Make no mistake the Cougars earned a win by going toe-to-toe with the Lakers and refusing to lose. "Give Azusa Pacific credit," Mitchell said. "They played hard. They came after us." It was a defensive battle for the most part. Penalties, an inability to keep quarterback Heath Parling from getting pounded and a few dropped passes helped, but there was a Cougar or Cougars involved in making many of those things happen, too. It turned into the grinding, frustrating kind of game where the team with a battering ram of a running back had the ball last and he didn't plan on getting stopped. "In the end the things that happened are really all on us," Mitchell said. "Our inability to tackle Watson at the end. That's on us. He gets going downhill and he's tough and protects the ball. He did a great job. On the other hand, we have lessons to learn." And a conference season ahead. It's back to Allendale, and back to work for the Lakers. Remember, teams are remembered much more often for what happens in the last game of the year as opposed to what happened in the first.

ALLENDALE, Mich. - No. 18 Grand Valley State dropped 28-24 decision to No. 10 Ohio Dominican in front of 15,005 fans, the fourth largest crowd in Lubbers Stadium history, Saturday (Sept. 13) evening. GVSU (0-2, 0-1 GLIAC) will hit the road next Saturday (Sept. 20) at Ferris State. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
Ohio Dominican struck first, returning a blocked punt 25 yards for a touchdown to take a 7-0 lead early in the first quarter. However, GVSU regrouped, driving 59 yards in nine plays and 59 yards for a score. Senior QB Heath Parling hit redshirt freshman receiver Brandon Bean with a short pass that he took 18 yards for the touchdown. The reception was the first of his career for Bean. ODU used a big play from RB Brandon Schoen to move back in front 14-7. Schoen took a handoff from Mark Miller and raced 88 yards for a TD. Following a couple of punts, GVSU took advantage of a 21yard punt that gave the Lakers great field position. Parling hit tight end Jamie Potts on a screen and the junior took to the Ohio Dominican one yard-line. Senior running back Michael Ratay punched it in to tie the game at 14 with 33 seconds left in the opening quarter.
The Lakers ensuing drive stalled out at their own 22, but a 46-yard punt was fumbled by ODU and recovered by the Lakers' Alton Voss at the ODU 37. Parling hit Potts with a 21 yard completion and finished off the drive with touchdown pass to sophomore Matt Williams in the corner of the end zone to give the Lakers their first lead of the contest 21-14. The reception and TD were the first of Williams' career for the Lakers.

September 27, 2014
ALLENDALE, Mich. - Grand Valley State's offense struck early and often, while its defense stifled one of the nation's top rushing attacks in a 66-28 rout of Lake Erie at Lubbers Stadium Saturday (Sep. 27) night. The Lakers racked up season-highs in total yards (640), including 12 plays of over 20 yards – four resulted in touchdowns – and rushing yards (399). Four different GVSU running backs – Hersey Jackson, Michael Ratay, Chris Robinson and Kirk Spencer – ran for over 80 yards and scored at least once. Spencer, who also tallied 46 receiving yards, led the trio with 149 yards on 15 carries, and a pair of touchdowns. Robinson punched in a game-high three rushing touchdowns and amassed 88 rushing yards on only eight rushes. Ratay toted the rock nine times for 81 yards and a score, while Jackson accrued 88 yards on 12 carries. The team's aerial assault was just as potent. Isiah Grimes went 13 for 23 with 232 yards and tossed a pair of touchdowns, both of which were to Jamie Potts, in his second consecutive start. Defensively, the Lakers held the Storm, who were averaging 326.7 rushing yards, a figure that ranked seventh nationally entering the game, to just 123 yards on the ground. Lake Erie's Anthony Bilal, the nation's leader in rushing touchdowns (12) and second-leading rusher (588 yards through three games), to a mere 38 yards on 11 rushes. Things did not get off to a great start for GVSU, however, as it saw Lake Erie's Tony Andrews return the opening kick 93 yards for a touchdown. It took less than three minutes for the Lakers to answer the Storm's lightning-quick strike with a thunderous touchdown of their own. Grimes found Spencer for a 27-yard reception to open the five-play, 72-yard scoring drive, which ended with a six-yard run into the end zone by Robinson. Thanks to a forced fumble by senior nose guard Frank Boenzi on the first play of the ensuing Lake Erie possession, GVSU set up shop deep in opposing territory. Ratay only needed one play – a 22-yard scamper – to put the Lakers on top 14-7 with 12:07 left in the first quarter. Following an 11-play, 86-yard scoring drive by the Storm, and a drive of its own that stalled out near midfield, reserve outside linebacker Marquez Gollman stripped Bilal to give GVSU the ball back at the LEC 25. Grimes connected with Potts from 24 yards out on second down to put the Lakers back on top 21-14 late in the opening frame. GVSU went on to score another 42 unanswered points on six drives of 57 yards or more. On those possessions, the Lakers never needed more than six plays to find the end zone. Potts' 25-yard reception that gave GVSU a 28-14 edge was the only one of those scores that came through the air. The final scoring play during that span came on a 63-yard dash by Spencer with 2:44 left to go in the third quarter. Lake Erie halted the run with a lengthy touchdown drive, but sophomore kicker Joel Schipper capped a five-play, 53-yard drive with a 25yard field goal to make it 59-21 early in the closing stanza. In his first career appearance, freshman quarterback Bart Williams tossed a touchdown to sophomore wide receiver Matt Williams near the eightminute mark of the fourth quarter. The nine-yard strike gave the Lakers a 45-point advantage, their largest of the game. A late touchdown by Mitchel Hokavar, the Storm's lone score on the ground, finalized the scoring. Saturday night marked the first time since 2011's 61-31 blowout of Lake Erie that GVSU scored more than 60 points in a game. The Lakers whopping yardage total was their most in a game since they compiled 640 yards in 2012's 51-43 shootout victory at Michigan Tech. GVSU's rushing total was its highest since 1989, when it rushed for 396 yards against California (Pa.), while its 66 points were the ninth-most in school history. Exactly 14,515 fans, the seventh-largest crowd in Lubbers Stadium history, took in the dominant victory. The win lifts the Lakers' overall record to 1-3, their GLIAC mark to 1-2 and their all-time record against Lake Erie to 3-0. GVSU now turns its attention to next Saturday's (Oct. 4) league contest at Hillsdale College. The game is scheduled to kick off at 4:30 p.m. TEAM STATISTICS

ALLENDALE, Mich.- Defensive struggles are not always the most exciting games to watch, but the Grand Valley State football team will never complain about a victory. The Lakers held Wayne State to just 132 total yards of offense and caused five turnovers in their 17-3 win at Lubbers Stadium. Saturday (Oct. 11) night was only the seventh time since 2006 that GVSU gave up three points or less. It was also the first time since 2010 the Laker defense held an opponent to less than 200 total yards. Wayne State's nine first downs were the fewest by a GVSU opponent since it held Northwood to 10 first downs in 2012.
Senior defensive lineman Matt Mosley, junior defensive end Matt Judon, redshirt sophomore linebacker David Talley and sophomore defensive back Marquez Gollman combined for 7.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and 25 total tackles in the defensive showcase. Talley also forced a fumble, while senior defensive back Deonte' Hurst recovered a fumble and snagged an interception. With only one scoring drive in each quarter, offense was at a premium in this GLIAC tilt.
Redshirt sophomore tight end Joe Warner was on the receiving end of senior quarterback Heath Parling's lone touchdown pass of the evening. Parling found Warner open in the end zone from five yards out, capping a six-play, 48-yard drive with 6:40 remaining in the first quarter.
GVSU strung together a nine-play, 71-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter to build a 14-0 lead. Senior running back Chris Robinson punctuated the drive with a one-yard run, his fifth rushing score of the season. Paul Graham's 28-yard field goal in the third quarter got Wayne State its only points of the night.
The Lakers answered with a 7-play, 40-yard drive, which bled into the fourth quarter, getting a field goal of their own to make it 17-3.
The win lifts GVSU's overall record to 3-3 and brings its GLIAC mark to 3-2. The Lakers will take their three-game winning streak to Houghton, Michigan, where it will face an undefeated Michigan Tech team next Saturday (Oct. 18). Kick off is scheduled for 1 p.m. TEAM STATISTICS

Grand Valley State converted one fourth down on its opening drive, but QB Heath Parling was stopped just shy on a second fourth down play and the Huskies took over on their own 16 yard line. GVSU forced a three and out, however a running into the kicker penalty was called a personal foul and MTU kept possession. WR Brandon Cowie then hit Clark with a double pass, this one covering 38 yards and Michigan Tech upped its lead to 140. Parling was picked off on the Lakers second play of the following Laker drive and Charlie Leffingwell went 54 yards on the Huskies first play for a touchdown and after the PAT Michigan Tech led 21-0 with eight seconds left in the first quarter. The Huskies added 14 second quarter points to up its lead. The Lakers opened the second half with a 10-play, 75-yard scoring drive to get on the board. RB Terrell Dorsey scampered 26 yards on the opening play of the drive and Parling hit Potts with three passes on the drive, including an 11 yard TD pass on third and goal. PK Joel Schipper added the PAT. GVSU drove 80 yards in 6 plays for a score midway through the fourth quarter. Parling hit WR Keontre Miskel with a 23-yard TD pass. Parling completed 19-of-35 passes for 278 yards and two TDs, while Potts led the receiving unit with five catches for 61 yards. Miskel added four catches for 69 yards and Matt Williams hauled in three catches for 51 yards. Dorsey rushed seven times for 51 yards to lead the ground game. Sophomore linebacker David Talley led the defense with nine tackles and a QB sack and Isiah Dunning chipped in eight stops.

Findlay, Ohio - Grand Valley State picked up a 42-36 decision at Findlay Saturday afternoon. GVSU is now 4-4 overall and 4-3 in GLIAC action, while Findlay falls to 4-4 overall and 3-4 in GLIAC action. GVSU will host Ashland next Saturday at 7 p.m. at Lubbers Stadium. Grand Valley State senior running back Chris Robinson set the tone early on his record setting day. Robinson went 64 yards for a TD on the second play of the game and dominated throughout the afternoon en route to his GVSU single-game rushing record 261 yards on 33 carries. Robinson broke the 256-yard effort that John Mahan produced versus Manchester College nearly 41 years ago (10/27/73). In addition, Robinson moved into the number 12 spot in career rushing yards with 2,243, passing current teammate Michael Ratay (2,226). Grand Valley State took the opening kickoff and struck quickly as Robinson took a handoff on the second play of the game and raced 64 yards for a touchdown. Sophomore PK Joel Schipper added the PAT and GVSU had a 7-0 lead. The Laker defense forced a three-and-out on the Oilers first possession and sophomore WR Matt Williams returned a punt 29 yards to the Findlay 30 yard line. On first down senior QB Heath Parling found a wide open Jamie Potts down the middle of the field for a touchdown and following the PAT GVSU led 14-0. Findlay came into the game with the GLIAC's most potent offense and they were as advertised with senior QB Verlon Reed and WR Lloyd Henry. Trailing 14-0, Findlay answered with a 22-yard field goal and following a Parling interception, the Oilers drove 59 yards in three plays for a touchdown. GVSU blocked the PAT and led 14-9. The GVSU offense continued to roll, driving 75 yards in eight plays for a touchdown. Parling hit WR Kameel Jackson with an 18-yard pass and catch for Jackson's first career TD reception. Parling also hit WR Joe Robbins with an 18 yard completion on the drive. Findlay drove 88 yards in eight plays and scored on a 7-yard pass on a fake field goal, but the PAT was wide right and the Laker lead was six (21-15). GVSU answered offensively as Robinson led an 8-play, 75-yard scoring drive on the ground and went the final 22 yards for a TD on fourth-and-two. Findlay answered with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and the Laker lead was 28-22. However, the offensive fireworks were far from over in the first half. The Laker offense answered again after Findlay attempted an onside kick. Robinson scampered 44 yards for a touchdown on second down to up the advantage to 35-22, but Findlay added a late touchdown to pull with six (35-29) at the half. Findlay got the ball to start the second half and drove to the GVSU 30 yard line, but on fourth and five junior DE Matt Judon came up with a big sack to thwart the dive. The GVSU offense went on a 13-play, 57-yard scoring drive, picking up two fourth down conversions to keep the drive alive. Parling hit Potts with a 7-yard TD pass and after the Schipper PAT GVSU led 42-29. The Laker defense continued to get stops and and forced a turnover prior to senior punter Chris Picano pinning UF on its own 1-yard line. However, the Oilers drove 99 yards in seven plays and concluded the drive with a 34 yard pass and catch from QB Verlon Reed to Lloyd Henry and following the PAT the Laker lead was six (42-36). Robinson toted the ball 33 times for 261 yards and three TDs to lead the ground attack. Parling completed 7-of-17 passes for 114 yards and three TDs, while Potts hauled in three passes for 46 yards and two TDs. Defensively, Matt Judon led the way with a career-high 14 tackles, 5.5 (-24) tackles for loss and 2.5 (-19) QB sacks., Deonte Hurst chipped in seven stops. On the day, GVSU tallied three QB sacks and nine tackles for loss. TEAM STATISTICS

ALLENDALE, Mich. - Not even a massive game from junior wide receiver Jamie Potts was enough to get the Grand Valley State football team's offense going on Saturday (Nov. 1) night. The Lakers only managed 351 total yards, went 0 of 4 on fourth down attempts and had just 17 first downs in a 37-14 loss against No. 23 Ashland. Potts, who entered the game with 1,832 career receiving yards, was a bright spot for GVSU. With 172 yards on nine receptions, both of which were career highs, the Ravenna, Michigan native became only the ninth Laker in the program's 44-season history to eclipse the 2,000-yard mark. His receiving total was also tied for the eighth-most in a single home game. Potts' nine receptions tied Demonte Collins for the 10th-most in a single home game as well. Unfortunately, most of those yards came after Ashland jumped out to a 27-0 lead midway through the third quarter. With a little less than two minutes remaining in the third stanza, senior quarterback Heath Parling delivered a 28-yard strike to Potts to get GVSU on the board. The touchdown, the 22nd in Potts' career—the sixth-most by any player in school history—capped a 10-play, 81-yard drive. Early in the fourth quarter, the Eagles answered with a 77-yard scoring drive that ate up over four minutes of time. A 25-yard field goal by Aidan Simenc at the 4:50 mark gave Ashland its largest lead of the night. A little more than two minutes later, the Lakers strung together an eight-play, 52-yard drive, which ended with an 18-yard touchdown pass from Parling to sophomore wide receiver Matt Williams. Defensively, despite surrendering 539 total yards the Lakers had a trio of standout performances. Senior defensive back Deonte' Hurst totaled 15 tackles, matching the career high he set against West Texas A&M in last year's NCAA Quarterfinals. Senior defensive lineman Isiah Dunning and senior defensive back Jack Sauber racked up 11 and 10 total tackles, respectively. Defensive linemen Matt Mosley and Matt Judon spent plenty of time in the Ashland backfield, too. The former notched 2.5 tackles for loss and a sack, while Judon tallied four quarterback hurries, a sack and a tackle for loss. Another Laker set a new career precdent as well. Redshirt sophomore running back Terrell Dorsey netted 81 rushings yards, including a 20-yard rumble, on 12 carries. The loss drops GVSU's overall record to 4-5 and its GLIAC record to 4-4. GVSU will look to regroup against Tiffin next Saturday (Nov. 8) at 4 pm., when it will celebrate Heroes Night and senior day at Lubbers Stadium.with only 31 seconds left on the clock.

GVSU improves to 5-5 overall and 5-4 in GLIAC action, while Tiffin falls to 5-5 overall and 4-5 in GLIAC play. The Lakers will close the 2014 campaign next Saturday at Saginaw Valley State. GVSU used an efficient, balanced offense in the opening half as all four drives resulted in touchdowns and were 10 plays or more. The Lakers took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards in 11 plays for a 3-yard TD pass from senior QB Heath Parling to freshman tight end Brian Moran. PK Joel Schipper converted the first of his six PAT to give GVSU a 7-0 lead. Senior RB Chris Robinson rushed for 22 yards on the drive and Parling completed two passes to Moran, the first covering 28 yards and the second four yards for a TD. After forcing a Tiffin punt the Laker offense went back to work, driving 85 yards in 10 plays for a second TD. GVSU rushed for 68 yards on seven carries, including the final 22-yard scamper by Parling to paydirt. The third drive for the Lakers might have been the most impressive as it covered 90 yards in 15 plays and took 8:39 off the clock. GVSU kept the ball on the ground for 11 rushes and Parling was 4-for-4 passing, including the 3-yard TD pass to TE Joey Warner to culminate the drive. Drive number four was a 16-play, 75-yard march that took 5:17 off the clock and resulted in a 1-yard TD run by Parling with just 36 ticks left in the first half. The Lakers were 3-for-3 on third down conversions and Parling completed passes that covered 23 yards to freshman WR Brandon Bean and 24 yards to sophomore WR Matt Williams before his TD run. GVSU tallied 339 yards of total offense (187 rushing/152 passing), ran 52 plays and held onto the ball for 22:18 in the opening 30 minutes. The Laker defense continued to pitch the shutout in the third quarter, getting two fourth down stops after the Dragons drove deep inside Laker territory. Tiffin had first and goal from the six and could not score and then was turned away at the GVSU 24. Parling completed four passes on the Lakers' second possession of the second half, the final covering 49 yards to Chris Robinson that resulted in a TD. Parling also hit WR Jamie Potts for 12 yards and WR Joe Robbins for 12 yards on the drive. Following another three-and-out the GVSU offense continued to roll, driving 68 yards in 11 plays as Parling hit Robbins with a 16-yard TD pass. Tiffin scored early in the fourth quarter before the Lakers concluded the game with a 16-play, 74-yard drive that took 9:56 off the clock. GVSU dominated the game in every facet, totalling a season-high 34 first downs, 87 plays and 572 yards of total offense (318 rushing/254 passing), while holding onto the ball 39:59. In addition GVSU was a season-best 13-for-15 in first down conversions. Robinson rushed for 126 yards on 27 carries, while Dorsey toted the ball 17 times for 109 yards. It marked the first time since 2012 versus Wayne State that the Lakers had two backs go over the 100-yard rushing mark.

The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference began sponsoring football as a league sport in the Fall of 1973 with three teams, Ferris State, Grand Valley State and Northwood. In 1974, Hillsdale joined the league as the fourth football team. The conference expanded again in 1975 when Saginaw Valley State started a football program and Wayne State joined the league. The number of GLIAC football teams grew to seven in 1980 when Michigan Tech was added, though the Huskies left the league after the 1985 season. In 1987, Northwood left the league and was replaced by Northern Michigan. After the 1989 season, the GLIAC dropped football as a sponsored sport.

The league grew to 12 teams in 1994 with the addition of Michigan Tech and stayed at 12 teams until St. Joseph’s left after the 1995 season. In 1998, the league expanded to 14 teams with the additions of Findlay, Mercyhurst, and Westminster, but would drop back to 13 teams with the departure of St. Francis after the season. Westminster departed after the 1999 season, leaving 12 teams. Gannon was added before the 2004 season, giving the league a 13team roster. After nine years of existence as one of the premier conferences in Division II football, the MIFC merged as part of GLIAC on July 1, 1999.

STADIUM
LUBBERS STADIUM
The Grand Valley State football team enjoys the friendly confines of Arend D. Lubbers Stadium, one of the top Division II facilities in the nation. Gameday at Lubbers Stadium brings a buzz of excitment and pride to the Laker football program. The surroundings of Lubbers Stadium have changed almost yearly and add to the overall festivities that are a part of a Laker football Saturday during the fall. 2015 will bring much of the same. The Lakers led led the nation in attendance for the fourth consecutive years, drawing 58,497 in five home games for a nation leading average of 11,699. The field was lowered by eight feet and the track surrounding the field was removed prior to the 2012 campaign. Four rows of seats were installed and wrap around the field to accentuate the horseshoe that added about 2,000 seats. A grass slope also was also installed on the north side of the field underneath the video board, which will move the band to the southeast corner of the stadium. The finished project, which includes the installation of an artificial turf playing surface, will bring the capacity up to about 10,444 For the 2011 season, the stadium saw a renovated student section with a permanent bathroom and concession building located behind. In addition, the home sideline stands have been wrapped in blue acrylic for a more comfortable experience, while a new stadium sound system has been installed on top of the scoreboard. A Daktronics scoreboard with a ProStar video display board was added for the 2005 season. Two seating sections were added to each end of the west side stands to accomadate the overflow crowds that have been a part of Lubbers Stadium since 2001. The Lakers moved all of their football operations into the GVSU Football Center and the Rob Odejewski Weight Room in 2002. The Football Center includes a stateof-the-art locker room, equipment room, the Todd Jager training room and meeting rooms. The design doubled the

LUBBERS STADIUM size of the former building in the north end zone by adding over 4,000 square feet (2,000 sqaure feet on each side). Permanent lighting, a new playing surface, and six executive suites located on each side of the press box are additions added in the last seven years. The student seating area, which moved to south endzone in 1998, has created unmatched excitment among the student body. The student seating section has increased in capacity from 3,300 with the new bleachers. The Laker student seating section is routinely filled to capacity with the overflow moving into every open area available. The Lakers set a Lubbers Stadium and GLIAC single-game on-campus record in 2009 as 16,467 fans watched Grand Valley State claim a 38-7 victory over Saginaw Valley State. GVSU set a GLIAC single-season attendance record in 2008 as 64,511 fans watched five Laker home games at Lubbers Stadium for an average of 12,902 per game. The Lakers ranked second in total attendance (73,639) and regular season average (12,902) among DII schools for the season. Three of the Lakers’ top 10 all-time single-game crowds and four of the top 16 came during the 2008 regular season. GVSU played before crowds of 14,612 (Ferris State), 14,161 (Hillsdale), 13,302 (Indianapolis), 12,405 (Michigan Tech) and 10,132 (Ashland) in five regular season dates. Grand Valley State has recorded sellouts in 50-ofthe-last-57 regular season games since 2004 and 61-of-69 since 2002. Designed with the future in mind, the stadium can have permanent seating added when needed, with ultimate expansion to 20,000 seats. The stadium and track complex was dedicated on September 15, 1979, and named in honor of former Grand Valley State president, Arend D. Lubbers. Lubbers was instrumental in raising more than $700,000 toward the $1,050,000 project. The majority of the cost was offset by gifts from GVSU football fans and private donors. The original Lubbers Stadium was built around the existing football field of Prescription Athletic Turf (PAT).

The field, which is drained and heated by more than seven miles of tubing and electric coils, was installed in 1972, and opened in 1973. The Lubbers Stadium press box was designed to accomodate both print and electronic media representatives. It’s spacious features include a television booth, two radio booths and an open air television and film platform on the second deck. Grand Valley’s football team has been very successful in games at Lubbers Stadium. The Lakers have an all-time record of 175-37-1 (.823) since the stadium was completed in 1979 and GVSU is 90-7 at home since 2001.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Florence, Alabama has become a “home away from home” for the Laker football program in the 2000’s. GVSU has made the trip from Allendale to Florence six times this decade. The Lakers own an impressive 6-1 record in national semi-final games, along with a 4-2 record in the championship game. The Lakers held the longest active streak for playoff appearances in Division II at 10. GVSU appeared in the playoffs every year from 2001 through 2010. Grand Valley held a 27-5 record during the 10-year playoff streak. NCAA Division II Football Championships All-Time

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

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

QUARTERBACK U
The Laker offense has been directed by six quarterbacks since 1996 and if you go all the way back to 1985, 11 primary signal callers have lined up under center. Four of GVSU’s last five quarterbacks have been Harlon Hill Award finalists as the DII Player of the Year.
Brad Iciek concluded his career at GVSU in 2009 and he was a finalist for the Harlon Hill Award each of his three years. Cullen Finnerty concluded his college football career with the Lakers in 2006 and in his four seasons as the starter for Grand Valley Finnerty became the winningest starting QB in NCAA history with a 51-4 record. Finnerty also led the Lakers to a 14-1 record in the playoffs with three championship victories. Curt Anes finished his career at the top with the Lakers, leading GVSU to its first-ever NCAA DII Football National Championship during his senior year in 2002. Anes finished second in the Harlon Hill voting as a junior, despite having the most first place votes, before winning the award in 2002. Anes held the school record for most passing yards in a career (10,581) when he completed his four year career.
Before Cullen Finnerty and Curt Anes, Holland native, Jeff Fox was setting records and laying the foundation for future Laker signal-callers. Fox became the first Grand Valley QB to throw for over 2,000 yards in multiple seasons. In each of Fox’s three seasons at the helm of the offense rank in the top 10 for passing in Laker annals. Kwame McKinnon, Jack Hull, Guy Schuler, Jim Lynch, and David Quinley are just a few more athletes who have stood tall as the field general for the Lakers in past seasons.
NATIONAL AWARDS
The Gene Upshaw Award was introduced to NCAA Division II in 2004 to represent the lineman of the year. Since its inception, the Manheim Touchdown Club has named five winners of the award, with three of the five recipients being linemen from GVSU. Mike McFadden earned the honor in 2005 after leading the Lakers to a national championship. McFadden then capped off his career by winning the award again in 2006. Brandon Barnes kept the hardware in Allendale by garnering the most votes in 2007.
Curt Anes brought the Harlon Hill Trophy back from Alabama in 2002 along with the first national championship trophy. Anes finished second in 2001. Jeff Fox and Eric Lynch both preceeded Anes as Harlon Hill finalists. Lynch was the first two-time nominee from Grand Valley (1989, 90) and Jeff Fox reached the national stage in 1998 when he would finish third in the voting. Cullen Finnerty finished his career with three national championship victories and a second place finish in the 2006 Harlon Hill voting. Brad Iciek kept the tradition alive, being the first GVSU player to be named a Harlon Hill finalist for three consecutive seasons.
The Rimington Award honors the top offensive center in the country and the Lakers’ Matt Armstrong captured the 20013 honor. Armstrong was a consensus all-america selection en route to being named the nations top center.
ALL-AMERICANS
No NCAA DII program has produced as many All-Americans as Grand Valley State since 2001. Curt Anes, Dale Westrick, David Kircus, Reggie Spearmon, Josh Bourke are just a few of the Lakers that built the decade of dominance. Lucius Hawkins, Scott Mackey, Eric Fowler, Brandon Langston, Keyonta Marshall and Mike McFadden continued the individual accolades and in 2013 senior center Matt Armstrong and and sophomore tight end Jamie Potts added to the impressive group. Grand Valley State’s 2014 squad will again have a number of players that could garner post-season honors. Jamie Potts, Jim Walsh, Heath Parling and Michael Ratay are just a few that could emerge as the top players in Division II.
Tom Tefft earned the first postseason award from the NAIA in 1973. Since then, the Lakers have earned well over 100 all-america awards.
Just a few seasons later, in 1975, Dan Karpowicz proved to have the talent to lead the Lakers to national prominence. He was the first player from GVSU to earn the national award from the NAIA ranks. In 2002, while the experts were debating if the Lakers were the best team in NCAA Division II history, GVSU tallied eleven different all-americans.
Now that the tradition has been built, the Lakers produce some of the nations best players every season as they contend for the national championships, all america honors and national awards every year.
GAME DAY
From players walking to the football center being greeted by tailgaiting fans before the game, to the fireworks that light up the sky to signal a Laker touchdown, a football game at Lubbers Stadium has become a community event. Just before each game the football players rush the field toward the student section to the cheers of well over 12,000 fans at each home game. It doesn’t get any better than Laker football in Lubbers Stadium.
“The crowd [GVSU student section] was extremely loud. We had a difficult time at that end of the field the whole game. They are one of the loudest crowds we’ve played in front of.” -Bob Biggs, UC Davis head coach after GVSU defeated UC Davis in 2002
Lubbers Stadium is one of the most exciting Division II venues in the country. The stands are regularly packed with thousands of excited students providing a homefield advantage in the south end zone. Opposing players are surrounded on game day between the student section, Laker fans that fill the seats on each side, as well as the GVSU Marching Band in the north end zone.
Both fans and players are able to experience game day in Allendale more than most any other program in the country. Since 2001, the Lakers have played 21 extra home games in the postseason. Laker game days can’t be contained to just five games per year.
THE COMMUNITY
Student-athletes at GVSU have the opportunities to gain a great education, participate in college athletics and make a difference in the world around them. Football players have helped on campus the last few years by lending a helping hand on freshman move-in day. The Lakers have also looked to impact the community in different ways, from hurricane relief in Mississippi, visiting a Ronald McDonalds house, helping with youth football camps, and clearing room for a play area at a local camp.
The Laker football team logged over 3,000 hours of community service during the 201314 academic year at various charitable organizations in West Michigan.
MEDIA COVERAGE
GVSU has appeared a number of times in Sports Illustrated because of its success in the 2000’s. The Lakers have also been highlighted twice in the “Leading Off” section of the magazine. They have also been featured on the national stage by USA Today. The Lakers appeared on College Football Live’s 50 States Tour in 2009 during the show that featured the State of Michigan on ESPNU. The Lakers are also regularly covered by the Grand Rapids Press/MLive, which is read by over 1,000,000 state wide on a daily basis. In addition, the Holland Sentinel, Grand Haven Tribune, the Lansing State Journal, the Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press cover the Laker football program.
All of Grand Valley State’s home games are shown live on the internet and on TV throughout the State of Michigan on Comcast Cable. GVSU has also been on the ESPN family of networks nine times in the last nine years.
FACILITIES
Arend D. Lubbers Stadium is the home of Laker football. The Lakers have played at Lubbers Stadium since 1972 and have amassed a .829 winning percentage in those 40 seasons.
Lubbers Stadium is the focal point of the Laker football program. Since its construction it has seen many additions to improve the facilities. Including the 2012 renovations, which included lowering the field eight feet and taking out the track to add four rows that form a horseshoe, Lubbers Stadium has changed yearly. In recent years the stadium has expanded the home stands by one full section on each side, a new student section was built, luxury suites were added, and a new scoreboard with a prostar video display was constructed in the north end zone.
FACILITIES
The Lakers are housed in the football center that sits next to Lubbers Stadium. The building includes meeting rooms for each position as well as a team room which can be used for full team meetings and press conferences.
Next to the Football Center sits the Rob Odejewski weight room which opened in 2002. The weight room was rededicated on August 22, 2014 after a complete makeover on the inside with both equipment and appearance. In the fall of 2008, the university opened the doors to the Laker Turf Building which has already been honored with national awards for its construction. The football program uses the facility to avoid adverse weather conditions during practices and also during off-season workouts. It features a full six lane track and a 100 yard Field Turf surface.

LAKERS IN THE PROS
Cameron Bradfield (Jaguars), Brandon Carr (Cowboys) and Dan Skuta have solidified themselves as top level performers in the NFL, while OL Josh Bourke is among the top offensive lineman in the Canadian Football League. Bourke was picked up by the Montreal Alouettes after a short stint in the NFL. He has been successful in his native Canada, having been named to the CFL All-Star team four straight years and helped to lead his team to a Grey Cup title in two of the last three years. Matt Armstrong (Saints) is the latest Laker to make his bid into the NFL and joins Tim Lelito on the Saints roster. Lelito started two games in 2013 after making the squad as an undrafted free agent.

THE GVSU FOOTBALL COACHING TREE
Miami (OH) is known as the Cradle of Coaches for producing successful football coaches. GVSU’s tradition has been building its own legacy and here are just some current big-name coaches with roots that extend back to Allendale.
When GVSU’s football coaches tell recruits they have a chance to receive some of best coaching in the country, they can point to former GVSU coaches to prove the claim. Grand Valley claims to have great football history and tradition, and that extends beyond just players who make it to the NFL. There are currently a number of coaches experiencing success on a big stage after playing their role in building one of the best football programs in NCAA Division II. Brian Kelly directed the Lakers to national championships in 2002 and 2003, and now he’s in charge of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and has returned them to national prominence. The Fighting Irish enter the 2015 season ranked No. 6 in the country according to Sports Illustrated. BRIAN KELLY

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

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

Gene Upshaw 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 22-yard 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.

Grand Valley Claims Division II National Championship
Florence, Ala. - Harlon Hill Award winner Curt Anes hit All-American wide receiver David Kircus with a 10-yard scoring pass with 1:04 left in the game to lift Grand Valley State to a 31-24 victory and the 2002 NCAA Division II Football National Championship. The National Championship is the school's first-ever in a varsity sport. Valdosta State opened the scoring with a field goal by Will Rhody at the 6:23 mark of the first quarter. The field goal capped an 8-play, 89-yard drive and put the Lakers behind for just the second time in 2002. The VSU lead didn't last long as GVSU went 58 yards in just two plays. Anes hit Kircus with a 49-yard pass play, and Reggie Spearmon carried the ball in from 9-yards out to put the Lakers up 7-3. The Blazers were forced to punt on its ensuing drive and the Lakers struck quickly again. Anes hit Kircus again, this time with a 54-yards out and David Hendrix added the PAT to put the Lakers up 14-3. GVSU drove 23 yards in five plays and Hendrix hit a 38-yard field goal to put GVSU up 17-3. VSU added a field goal late in the second quarter to pull the Blazers within 11 (17-6) at the half. The Lakers forced a three and out to open the second half and the GVSU took advantage as Anes hit Kircus with a 67-yard scoring pass. Hendrix added the PAT and GVSU led 24-6. VSU scored it first TD of the game midway through the third quarter as Aaron Jenkins rambled in from seven yards out to cap a 14-play, 56-yard drive. GVSU missed a pair of scoring opportunities and the Blazers capitalized to close the margin. Rhody kicked a 43-yard field goal, followed by a mishandled snap by Laker QB Curt Anes that VSU's Tim Thompson recovered for TD. Buster Faulkner hit C.J. Lofton with the two-point conversion to tie the game at 24-24 with 3:09 left. Terrence Banks put the Lakers in good field position with a 30-yard kickoff return. Anes and Kircus then went to work. Anes hit Kircus with an 8-yard completion, then a 33-yard stop-n-go. Facing a third and nine from the VSU 26 yard line, Anes hit Kircus with a 10-yard completion. Spearmon ran six yards to the Blazer 10 to set up the winning score. Anes checked from a run play to pass play and hit Kircus with the National Championship winning score. Anes completed 23-of-36 passes for 361 yards and three TDs. Kircus caught a championship game record 11 passes for record 270 yards and three TDs. Terrence Banks caught nine passes for 66 yards, while Brent Lesniak rushed eight times for 56 yards. Spearmon rushed 14 times for 29 yards. DB Melvin Estes and DL Keyonta Marshal led the defense with a combined 24 tackles and 12 tackles for loss (37 yards). Estes notched 12 tackles, six tackles for loss (-21) and 2.5 QB sacks, while Marshall chipped in 12 stops, six tackles for loss and one QB sack. LB Orlando Williams notched eight tackles, two tackles for loss and one QB sack. CB Darren Smith snagged a pair of interception and notched two pass deflections. GVSU completed the 2002 season with a perfect 14-0 record, including wins in 33of-its-last-34 games.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Florence, Ala. - Northwest Missouri State jumped out to a 21-0 first half lead and held on for a 30-23 victory over Grand Valley State in the 2009 NCAA DII National Championship game Saturday afternoon in Florence, Ala. The title game appearance was the Lakers' sixth since 2001. GVSU finished the season with a 13-2 record and the Lakers' senior class finished their careers with a 51-4 record. The 2009 senior class is the sixth straight to finish with 50 or more wins during their careers. Northwest Missouri State started fast with touchdowns on their first three drives of the game. LaRon Council finished the Bearcats opening drive with a 14 yard TD run to cap a 6-play, 76-yard drive that took just 1:53 off the clock. GVSU then drove into Bearcat territory on its second drive of the game and faced a fourth-and-three from the NMSU 35-yard line. However, head coach Chuck Martin elected to punt and senior Justin Trumble pinned NW Missouri State on its own three-yard line. "I didn't even really consider going for it and I felt pretty good after Justin (Trumble) pinned them on their own three yard line," said sixth-year head coach Chuck Martin. Northwest Missouri State drove 97 yards in 16 plays as QB Blake Bolles finished the drive with a four yard TD run. Following a three-and-out by the Lakers, NMSU Jordan Simmons took a Justin Trumble punt back 48 yards to the Grand Valley State 17 yard line. Council followed with a 17 yard TD run to up the Northwest Missouri State lead to 21-0. NW Missouri State was driving again late in the first half and had the ball on the GVSU one yard line, but senior LB James Wojciechowski forced and recovered a Previn Perry fumble to thwart the scoring opportunity. "We regrouped at the half and told the guys that we needed to get a stop to open the second half and then get going offensively," said Martin. Grand Valley State senior LB Gary Anderson provided the spark to open the second half when he picked off a Blake Bolles pass on the Bearcats fouth play of the third quarter. Iciek then drove the Lakers 48 yards in four plays and hit sophomore tight end Andrew Lorman with an eight yard TD pass with 11:22 left in the third quarter to get the Lakers on the scoreboard. Iciek hit junior WR Ryan Bass with a 16 yard completion and P.T. Gates rushed for 11 yards followed by a NMSU personal foul before the TD pass to Lorman. The excitement was short lived as Jay Jandasek's PAT was blocked and returned for a defensive safety for the Bearcats by Ryan Jones. Jones taunted the Laker defenders for the final 30 yards and ran the final seven yards backwards, but no penalty was called. The Lakers and Bearcats traded punts, including an NCAA DII Championship record 71 yard punt by GVSU's Jay Jandasek, who was replacing the injured Trumble. The GVSU defense continued to hold the Bearcat offense and forced a punt deep in their own territory. The Michael Stadler punt was downed at the 50 yard line to set the Laker offense up with outstanding field position. WR Blake Smolen ran 11 yards on a reverse and Iciek then hit WR Ryan Bass with a 33 yard TD pass and Jandasek added the PAT to cut the Northwest Missouri State lead to 10 (23-13). Grand Valley State's defense forced another turnover when CB Chris Crawford, playing for the injured Enrique Shaw, forced a fumble on the GVSU 29 yard line. Iciek directed an 11-play, 71-yard scoring drive that finished with a two yard TD run by Smolen. Jandasek added the PAT and the Lakers clawed back to within three points (23-20) with 12:26 left in the game. "I looked up at the scoreboard and was trying to figure out how we only trailed by three (23-20) with 12 minutes left in the game," said Martin. The Lakers were flagged with a personal foul on the ensuing kickoff and the Bearcats took over on GVSU 32 yard line. Bolles completed an 18 yard pass to Council on a third and 22 play, then hit Jake Soy with a 26 yard TD pass on a fourth and five play to up the lead to 10 points (30-20) with 10:00 left in the game. "I new they would go for it and we put our best defender (Jake McGuckin) on their best receiver (Jake Soy), but Bolles just threw a perfect pass for the TD," said Martin. GVSU continued to battle and drove 70 yards in 12 plays for a 21 yard field goal by Jandasek. The big play on the drive came when Iciek hit freshman Israel Woolfork with a 35-yard pass and catch to the Bearcat 12 yard line on third and 10. Trailing 30-23, GVSU opted for an onside kick and thought they had recovered the ball, but an illegal touching call negated the recovery and NMSU took over on the GVSU 39 yard line. The GVSU defense held and forced a Bearcat punt that went into the end zone to give the Lakers one last drive starting from their own 20 yard line with 2:59 remaining. Grand Valley State drove 24 yards in nine plays, but Iciek's fourth down pass was incomplete with :52 seconds left to seal the win for Northwest Missouri State. Iciek completed a career-high 28 passes for 290 yards and two TDs for the Lakers. Bass caught eight passes for 111 yards and a TD, while Smolen rushed for 45 yards on seven carries and hauled in six passes for 70 yards. Smolen tallied 189 all-purpose yards for the game. Lorman caught four passes for 23 yards and a TD, while Woolfork caught two passes for 48 yards. Senior RB P.T. Gates rushed for 36 yards and caught seven passes for 32 yards. Junior LB Justin Victor led the laker defense with 10 tackles, while senior safety Jake McGuckin, junior safety Matt Bakker and senior LB Gary Anderson each contributed nine stops. Junior DE Nick Lawrence tallied four tackles, two QB sacks and three tackles for loss. Grand Valley State finished with 381 yards of total offense for the game, including 254 in the second half, while the Bearcats tallied 116 total yards in the second half after recording 250 yards in the first half. "I can't even begin to say how proud I am of this team and all that it accomplished during the 2009 season," said Martin. "This group of seniors did everything they could to get us to the National Championship game and in the end gave us a chance to win a fifth title. This group came together and improved every week and did everything we asked of them. For that reason I will always remember the 2009 Laker football team," concluded Martin.

A new outdoor track & field/lacrosse stadium was opened in the fall of 2011, while the Kelly Family Sports Center, which opened for all university activities in August 2008 was spearheaded by Selgo. The KFCS allows GVSU academic classes and athletic teams the opportunity to work inside in inclement weather. The 137,662 square foot facility has a 100 x 55-yard fieldturf surface, a six-lane track with nine sprint lanes and batting cages that drop from the ceiling. The Laker softball team began play on its new field in 2008 and the Laker baseball field added stadium seating behind home plate in 2010. The GVSU Football Center, located in the north end zone of Lubbers Stadium, has been expanded by more than 4,000 feet since Selgo's arrival. In addition, lights were installed at Lubbers Stadium and the Rob Odejewski Weight Room was built in honor of the late Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and Promotions. The baseball and soccer fields have added press boxes, storage space and concession areas.
