10th Season CAREER RECORD - 96-33 LINDENWOOD RECORD - 82-26

Patrick Ross, the winningest football coach in Lindenwood history, is in his tenth season as the head coach of the Lindenwood program in 2013. He is in his 12th season overall as a collegiate head coach. Ross owns a career coaching record of 96-33 (.744), his teams have appeared in the NAIA Football Championship Series six times, and twice he has earned NAIA National Coach of the Year honors.

He became the all-time leader in wins at Lindenwood in 2007, and his .759 winning percentage shatters the previous best mark for the program. The Ross Era at Lindenwood has been marked by winning and excitement. The Lions have become one of the top scoring teams at any level of college football over the last nine years. Ross has directed the top-five offenses in school history, and nine of the top ten. Lindenwood has averaged 36.9 points since Ross has come to Lindenwood, including 42.5 points over the last six years. During Lindenwood’s first full season at the NCAA Division II level, Ross coached cornerback Pierre Desir to All-American honors. Desir, running back Denodus O’Bryant, and wide receiver Andrew Helmick were all-region selections, and a total of eight Lions earned all-MIAA honors. While Lindenwood was at the NAIA level, Ross’ players won 10 All-American awards, including six first-team honors. Jeff Hynes was twice named the Rimington Award Winner as the best offensive center in the NAIA. Ross coached three HAAC Players of the Year with DeDe Dorsey winning the award in 2004 and Denodus O’Bryant winning back-to-back awards in 2009 and 2010. Ross’ players were named first-team all-HAAC 37 times, 32 players were named second-team all-conference, and 27 received third-team honors. Ross led Lindenwood to the postseason in its first full season of NCAA Division II action. The Lions went 7-3 in MIAA play and tied for fourth place in their first season in one of the toughest NCAA Division II conferences. Among the top victories was a 44-33 win on the road at the defending national champions, Pittsburg State. Ross and Lindenwood had several nail-biters in the year, including a 17-point fourth-quarter comeback against Glenville State and another fourth-quarter comeback against Fort Hays State. Lindenwood went 8-3 in the regular season and earned a berth in the Mineral Water Bowl in Excelsior Springs, Mo. Ross did one of his best coaching jobs in 2011 as he led Lindenwood through its transition season as the program moved from the NAIA to the NCAA. The Lions went 8-3 and were the only second-year transition school to record a winning record. Lindenwood opened the season with a 22-20 win over Northern Colorado, the program’s first win over a NCAA Division I scholarship team. Among the team’s other big wins were last-minute victories over NCAA Division II powerhouse Texas A&M-Kingsville and NAIA power Azusa Pacific. Lindenwood’s offense continued its high-scoring ways despite the tougher competition, and having a new quarterback and nearly a completely new offensive line. The Lions averaged over 40 points and 367.9 total yards a game. In 2010, the Lions went 9-2 overall in their final season of NAIA play, and finished second in the HAAC with a 9-1 mark. Lindenwood advanced to the NAIA Playoffs for the fourth straight season and fifth overall appearance in Ross’ tenure. The Lions had one of the best offenses in the entire country. Lindenwood possessed the No. 1 passing offense, the best passing efficiency, top offense yards per game, and second most points scored. In 2009, Ross led the Lions to their best season in program history as they advanced to the national championship game. The Lions went 10-0 during the regular season and won the program’s third HAAC Championship. Lindenwood hosted playoff games in the first and second rounds and then traveled to Helena, Montana, where they faced Carroll College. The Lions would beat the Saints and move onto the national championship against defending champions, Sioux Falls. Sioux Falls upended the Lions 25-22. For the second straight season in 2009 the Lions had one of the most prolific offenses in the country. The Lions averaged over 53 points a game which was tops in the country and broke the school record for points scored with 744. Lindenwood finished ranked second in the country when the final polls came out, which was the highest ranking the school has ever accomplished. After the season, Ross was named HAAC Coach of the Year. In 2008, Ross led the Lions to within one play of reaching the national championship game. The Lions went 9-1 during the regular season and finished second in the HAAC. Lindenwood hosted a first-round playoff game and put up 65 points in the first postseason win in school history. The second postseason win came a week later in the quarterfinals when a last-second field goal gave the Lions a three-point win. In the semifinals, Lindenwood went into the house of NAIA powerhouse Carroll and didn’t back down. The Lions scored a touchdown to pull within one in the final minute, but a failed two-point conversion

Ross was named National Coach of the Year by Victory Sports Network after the season. Ross was also named National Coach of the Year in 2004 in his first year at Lindenwood, after he led one of the most amazing one-season turnarounds in college football history. The Lions went 11-0 in the regular season, tying for the same number of wins the team earned in the previous four years combined, and won their first HAAC title. In 2007, Ross directed the Lions to another conference title and national playoff appearance. Behind another high scoring offense, Lindenwood won its first 10 games and finished the regular season ranked ninth in the nation. Prior to coming to Lindenwood, Ross was the head coach at Ottawa (Kan.) for two seasons. He posted a record of 14-7 there, winning the 2003 KCAC title and advancing to the national playoffs. Prior to his stint at Ottawa, Ross served as the defensive coordinator for three years and an assistant for one at Kansas Wesleyan. Ross has had seven Lindenwood players sign NFL contracts and numerous others have signed contracts with other professional leagues. Dorsey and Brian Schaefering have played in the NFL, while Zac Atterberry, Marcel Thompson, Roren Thomas, O’Bryant, and Helmick signed with NFL teams after their Lindenwood careers.

Lindenwood also had 83 tackles for loss and allowed 352.8 yards and 23.6 points a game. The team allowed 20 points or less in six contests. The defensive unit played a big role in two of the team’s biggest victories. Against NCAA Division I Northern Colorado, Lindenwood did not allow a touchdown in the second half in a come-from-behind 22-20 victory. In the win at Texas A&M-Kingsville, the Lions stopped the Javelinas on the one-yard line with just 23 seconds remaining to preserve a six-point win.

Twice during the season, against Western Illinois (lb) .................. 1993-98 Glenville State and Fort Hays State, the Lions forced a turnover deep in their territory in the final 1:20 of the game to clinch a victory. East Aurora High School ....... 1990-92 Melvin’s defense boasted four all-conference players, including first-team honors for cornerback Pierre Desir who recorded the second most interceptions among all levels of NCAA football. Desir also earned all-region and All-American honors after nine interceptions on the year. Honorable mention honors went to linebacker Connor Harris, the MIAA’s leader in tackles, safety Cody Fogle, and defensive lineman Malach Radigan. Radigan was also named to the prestigious AFCA Good Works Team for his actions off the field. In 2009 and 2010, Melvin was an assistant at Ball State. He was the linebackers coach during the 2009 season before being promoted to special teams coordinator the next year. Melvin also had coaching stints at Bowling Green, Georgia Southern, Missouri State, Western Illinois, and East Aurora High School. He was at Bowling Green from 2007-08 and coached the inside and outside linebackers, and was assistant special teams coordinator. In 2006, he coached the running backs at Georgia Southern.

At the college level, Melvin has coached seven AllAmerican linebackers and two Buck Buchanan awardwinning linebackers, which goes to the top defensive player in NCAA Division I Football Championship Series. He coached 14 all-conference winners, six academic firstteam all-conference players, and eight players who were named the team MVP. He also coached two players who finished first in the nation for tackles. Melvin was an All-American and all-league honoree at linebacker during his college career at the College of Dupage. He was an all-state and all-conference award winner at East Aurora High School. Melvin graduated from Western Illinois with a bachelor of science degree in community health in 1994.

2013 LIndenwood Football MEDIA Guide

The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, a 15-member conference (beginning in 2012-13) of NCAA Division II institutions in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska, was first organized in 1912 as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

of that year and served as commissioner until September of 2010. Dr. Bob Boerigter succeeded Johnson in September 2010. Southwest Baptist University brought membership back to eight schools in 1986, before the major expansion of the conference in 1989. Pittsburg State, Washburn, Missouri Southern State College (now University), and Missouri Western State College (now University) formerly members of the Central States Intercollegiate Conference began competition in the 1989-90 season.

Over the past 100 years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of being one of the top NCAA Division II conferences in the nation. MIAA studentathletes have won 15 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, more than 160 individual national titles. The MIAA currently conducts championships in eight sports for men and nine for women.

Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA following the 1990-91 season to move on to NCAA Division I, and was replaced by Emporia State University in the 1991-92 season.

For the men, champions are crowned in football, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, baseball, tennis and golf. The women compete for titles in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, softball, golf and tennis.

The conference was first organized in 1912 with 14 member institutions. Of those original members, the University of Central Missouri, Truman State University, and Northwest Missouri State University still remain a part of the MIAA.

In August 1991, Judy Willson was hired as the MIAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first full-time sports information director. She left in 1994, and was succeeded by Matt Newbery, formerly the assistant sports information director at Pittsburg State. He became the assistant to the commissioner for media relations in 2005. Kellen Coleman replaced Newbery in 2009 as the Director of Communications. A third full-time staff member was added in 2005, as former Emporia State track and field athlete Natasha Oakes was hired as the assistant to the commissioner for compliance. She became the Assistant Commissioner for Compliance and Internal Operations/SWA before being succeeded by Renee Hultgren in 2010. The current MIAA Assistant Commissioner for Compliance and Internal Operations/SWA, Amber Feldman, replaced Hultgren in 2011. Larry House joined the staff in August 2007 as coordinator of external affairs and is now the assistant commissioner for championships and business development.

The first change in membership came in 1924, when the MIAA reorganized to include only the five regional Missouri state colleges: Central, Truman (at the time known as Northeast Missouri State), Northwest, Southeast Missouri State University, and Southwest Missouri State University (now Missouri State).

The current membership of the MIAA is at 14 schools, with the departure of Missouri-St. Louis in 1996 and Missouri-Rolla in 2005, the forfeiture of membership by Lincoln in 1999, the addition of Fort Hays State University in 2006 and the University of Nebraska Omaha in 2008, the rejoining of Lincoln in 2010, and the departure of Nebraska Omaha in 2011.

Over the next 56 years, three schools joined the membership: the Missouri School of Mines (later the University of Missouri-Rolla) in 1935, Lincoln University in 1970, and the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 1980.

On July 29, 2010, the MIAA CEO Council voted to extend invitations to the University of Central Oklahoma and Northeastern State University to become members of the league, and on September 24, 2010, it voted to extend invitations to the University of Nebraska-Kearney and Lindenwood University to become conference institutions, beginning in 2012-13.

The MIAA turned a new page on July 1, 1992, when the NCAA Division II conference changed its name from the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association. The decision to make the change originated in 1989, when Pittsburg State University and Washburn University became the first schools outside the state of Missouri to gain membership in the MIAA.

The 1980s brought the biggest changes in the conference. In 1981, Southwest Missouri State University opted to move to NCAA Division I and the MIAA appointed its first full-time commissioner, Ken Jones, in July.

Again in 2012 the conference would face some changes. A member since 1924, Truman would leave the conference to be part of the Great Lakes Valley Conference. With Truman leaving the conference would be down to 14 schools.

He would be in the position for 16 years, retiring in 1997. Former Gulf South and Metro commissioner Ralph McFillen succeeded Jones, serving 10 years before his retirement in 2007. Jim Johnson succeeded McFillen in July Dr. Bob Boerigter

2013 LIndenwood Football MEDIA Guide

2012 season in review The Lindenwood football team entered 2012 with numerous question marks, the biggest about how the program would fare in its first season in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA). By the end of the year, the Lions had answered all of the questions and earned their first postseason berth as a NCAA Division II program. The new era of Lindenwood football began on Sept. 1 when Lindenwood had its first MIAA game at Lincoln. The Lions started off slow but three unanswered touchdowns in the second half helped the team pull away for a 49-28 victory. Ben Gomez had an impressive debut at quarterback as he threw for 407 yards, the fourth-best single-game total in Lindenwood history. He was 25-of41 passing and had five touchdown passes, the second-best mark at Lindenwood. Gomez completed passes to eight different players. Andrew Helmick continued where he left off in 2011 with 108 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Jaron Alexander caught five passes for 68 yards and a score. Marvin Byrd and Matt Angell also had touchdown catches. Denodus O’Bryant led the rushing attack with 75 yards and one touchdown. The following week followed the same pattern as Lindenwood won its first MIAA home game with a 35-14 win over Southwest Baptist. The Lions ions defense allowed just one touchdown and forced four turnovers to lead Lindenwood. The defense allowed just 297 yards of total offense, including 86 rushing yards. The team had five sacks, 11 tackles for loss, and held Southwest Baptist to just four-of-17 on thirddown conversions. Connor Harris led the team for the second straight week with nine tackles. He also had one tackle for loss, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. One of the benefits of going to the NCAA Division II level was that home fans would get to witness more competitive games. That came to fruition in weeks three and four of the season, with Lions splitting the results. In week three against Central Missouri, Lindenwood trailed for most of the game but tied the contest with just over 10 minutes remaining. The Mules responded though by scoring the winning touchdown with 3:05 left in a 35-28 win. O’Bryant led the way on offense in the loss finishing the game with 84 rushing yards, 45 receiving yards, and 142 kickoff return yards.

best passing games in MIAA history with 480 yards and six touchdowns in a 49-28 victory. Not only did Gomez have a career day the Lions big lead on the scoreboard enabled them to attack the record books. O’Bryant broke the first record with a nine-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. Those points gave him 330 for his career, breaking the previous record of 329 which was held by kicker Halley Ferrell. Helmick broke the next record when he finished the first half with 200 receiving yards, breaking the school’s single-game mark of 184. The old mark had been held by George Mumphard since the 2005 season. Helmick was within 54 yards of the MIAA single-game record, but he did not catch another pass in limited playing time in the second half. The Lions opened October by hitting the road at Fort Hays State and they also encountered one of their biggest challenges of the season when Gomez was injured in the first series of the game. Taylor Jasin replaced him and threw for a career-high 285 yards. The biggest hero though was Pierre Desir, who intercepted a pass in the end zone with 1:17 left to help preserve the 20-17 win. The impact of losing Gomez though was evident the next week against nationally-ranked Emporia State as the Lions could not crack the scoreboard in a 13-0 loss. Lindenwood finished the day with 282 yards of total offense, with 73 rushing yards and 209 passing yards. The Lions completed just 38.5 percent of their passes and threw four interceptions. In week eight of the season, Lindenwood started a new quarterback for the third straight week when true freshman Dillon Miller was under center. The Lions stuck to their running game for Miller’s first collegiate game but they couldn’t generate enough points as a late Washburn touchdown gave the Ichabods a 19-16 victory. Even though the Lions fell to the No. 18 ranked team in the country, O’Bryant continued to set records. In the loss, he became the school’s all-time leading rusher on an 88-yard touchdown run. Lindenwood’s postseason hopes appeared over after that loss but the program quickly rebounded to save its season. Helmick scored three touchdowns of 65 yards or more in a 45-30 Senior Day victory over Missouri Southern. Two of the top offensive players in school history continued to lead the Lions. Helmick scored four touchdowns in the game, with each one being over 60 yards. He broke a school record with 218 receiving yards and tied the single-game record of three receiving touchdowns. Denodus O’Bryant scored one receiving touchdown and finished the game with 114 rushing yards and 40 receiving yards.

The Lions looked like they were in danger of losing two straight when they trailed Glenville State, their only non-conference opponent of the season, by a 24-7 margin entering the fourth quarter. Lindenwood stormed back though with three straight touchdowns for a thrilling 28-24 win. Helmick finished with eight catches for 114 yards, while O’Bryant rushed for 72 yards and caught four passes for 23 yards. Angell finished just shy of the 100-yard receiving mark with 95. Lindenwood’s four-game home stand ended with a contest against Nebraska-Kearney. Lindenwood quarterback Ben Gomez had one of the

The quarterback position in 2013 sets up an interesting position battle for Lindenwood in 2014. Gomez was one of the top quarterbacks in the league prior to his injury. He finished with 270.1 passing yards a game and had 15 touchdown passes in five full games, plus the parts of two others. Miller established himself as a top quarterback as well in his appearances. He averaged 264.3 passing yards a game and threw 12 touchdowns in his last four games. On special teams, James Neal was perfect on PATs and averaged one made field goal a game. Edward Burns averaged nearly 40 yards a punt and had one of every four punts go inside the 20-yard line.

2012 REVIEW

Lindenwood ended its regular season a week later with a 38-13 victory at Truman. Lindenwood finished with 539 offensive yards, with 216 on the ground and 323 through the air. The defense held Truman to 318 yards, forced two turnovers, and four turnovers on downs.

HISTORY

The Lions finished with an 8-3 record and tied for fourth with a 7-3 conference mark. Lindenwood was selected as the conference’s representative to the Mineral Water Bowl. Winona State of the Northern Sun was the team’s opponent. The Warriors rushing game was way too much for the Lions as they ran for 294 yards on 48 carries.

LINDENWOOD

The Lions were led by Helmick who caught nine passes for 202 yards and two scores. Alex Robinson also had a good day hauling in six passes for 77 yards. Miller finished the day throwing for 216 yards and two touchdowns, while Gomez compiled 198 yards but threw two interceptions. The Lions finished the year ranked fifth in the MIAA in both scoring offense (31.1) and scoring defense (24.6). Lindenwood averaged 425.8 total yards a game while allowing just under 400. Lindenwood’s defense was among the league leaders by collecting 29 sacks on the season.

LINDENWOOD

2013 LIONS

The offensive line, including starters Matt Andreolli, JT Young, Matt Atley, Latham Johnson, and Jacob Heneisen, helped open up holes for 211 rushing yards and allowed just one sack against the No. 5 NCAA Division II team in that category.

O’Bryant, a second-team all-conference and third-team all-region pick, ended his career as Lindenwood’s all-time leader with 3,237 rushing yards and 62 total touchdowns. Helmick, a second-team all-region pick, is the school’s all-time leader with 153 receptions, 2,828 receiving yards, and 32 receiving touchdowns.

2013 LIONS

Dillon Miller finished the contest with 226 passing yards and he threw three touchdowns. The true freshman did not throw an interception in the contest. Helmick finished with three receptions for 40 yards.

Offensively, Lindenwood saw O’Bryant and Helmick complete two of the top careers in Lindenwood history. O’Bryant averaged over 100 yards rushing for the season and also averaged nearly 45 yards receiving. Helmick averaged 113.6 receiving yards a game. The duo combined to score 31 of Lindenwood’s 48 touchdowns on the season.

COACHES

O’Bryant finished the game with 147 rushing yards and 167 receiving yards. He averaged 10.5 yards per carry and 83.5 yards per catch. He became the first Lindenwood player with over 3,000 career rushing yards and recorded his second 1,000-yard rushing season.

The team’s leading tackler in 2012 was Connor Harris, a true freshman linebacker. Harris finished with 126 tackles, the most in the MIAA, and had six games with double-figure tackles. Cody Fogle, AJ Chappelle, and Jaz Granderson all had 78 tackles or more. Up front, the quartet of Malach Radigan, Sean Gracy, Joe Day, and Cody Reider combined for 39.5 tackles for loss and 18.0 sacks.

2013 OUTLOOK

It took just one play for Lindenwood to answer its doubters. O’Bryant took a short pass from Miller and turned it into an 80yard touchdown. O’Bryant would later add an 80-yard touchdown run and an 87-yard touchdown reception to lead Lindenwood to a 44-33 road victory against the Gorillas, a result that served as an announcement to NCAA Division II football that the Lions had arrived.

The top individual player during the year for Lindenwood was Desir. The junior cornerback ended the season with nine interceptions, the secondbest total among all levels of NCAA football. He led the MIAA in both interceptions and pass defended (18), and was seventh on the team with 50 tackles. Desir was an AFCA All-American, a second-team D2football.com All-American, and a first-team all-region and all-conference player.

INTRODUCTION / MEDIA INFO

The joy of defeating Missouri Southern was dampened though because of a serious injury to redshirt freshman Sterling Thomas. The University community rallied to show its support for Thomas throughout the week, but no one was sure how the football team would respond after the emotional week when they travelled to face the defending national champions, Pittsburg State.

The first official MIAA contest in Lindenwood athletics department history was successful as the Lions football team defeated Lincoln on Saturday in Jefferson City, Mo. Lindenwood defeated the Blue Tigers by a 49-28 margin. Lindenwood played a sloppy first half and led by just a 28-21 margin at halftime. The defense helped turn the game around in the third quarter when it allowed -1 yards of total offense. The offense scored two touchdowns in that period to pull away. The defense ended up allowing just 74 yards in the second half and Lincoln scored just once in the final minute of the game. Ben Gomez had an impressive debut at quarterback as he threw for 407 yards, the fourth-best single-game total in Lindenwood history. He was 25-of-41 passing and had five touchdown passes, the second-best mark at Lindenwood. Gomez completed passes to eight different players. Andrew Helmick continued where he left off in 2011 with 108 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Jaron Alexander caught five passes for 68 yards and a score. Marvin Byrd and Matt Angell also had touchdown catches. Denodus O’Bryant led the rushing attack with 75 yards and one touchdown. Defensively, Connor Harris had a team-high eight tackles in his first collegiate game. Joe Day had two of Lindenwood’s five sacks and the Lions defense had 13 tackles for loss. Justin Broome had an interception and a pass breakup. Lindenwood improves to 1-0 on the season and 1-0 in MIAA play. The Lions will have their home opener next Saturday against Southwest Baptist.

The Lindenwood football team won its 2012 home opener on Saturday night at Hunter Stadium with a 35-14 victory over Southwest Baptist. The Lions defense allowed just one touchdown and forced four turnovers to lead Lindenwood to its first MIAA win on its home field. The Lions jumped out to a 21-0 victory early in the second quarter. Denodus O’Bryant opened up the scoring in the first quarter with a four-yard touchdown rush on the team’s first series of the game. The touchdown was the 29th career rushing touchdown for O’Bryant, which set a new school record. Matt Angell scored Lindenwood’s second touchdown with a 28-yard reception from Ben Gomez in the second quarter. Just over a minute later, Pierre Desir intercepted a pass and returned it 51 yards to make the score 21-0. Southwest Baptist got back into the game by halftime, sparked by a 93-yard punt return touchdown. Then, right before half, a Lindenwood turnover gave Southwest Baptist a short field and the Bearcats scored with just 24 seconds left in the half. O’Bryant put Lindenwood back up by 14 with his second rushing touchdown of the game with 9:23 left in the third quarter. Southwest Baptist appeared ready to answer right away, but Desir intercepted his second pass of the game in the endzone to end that Bearcat drive. The Bearcats put together another good drive early in the fourth quarter. The drive ended when, on a fourth-and-one play from the Lindenwood nine-yard line, Malach Radigan burst through the line and stopped Southwest Baptist for a one-yard loss. On the ensuing possession, Gomez led Lindenwood on an eight-play, 90-yard drive. Lindenwood sealed its victory when Andrew Helmick scored a touchdown on a 19-yard reception. Lindenwood’s defense allowed just 297 yards of total offense, including 86 rushing yards. The team had five sacks, 11 tackles for loss, and held Southwest Baptist to just four-of-17 on third-down conversions. Connor Harris led the team for the second straight week with nine tackles. He also had one tackle for loss, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. Radigan finished with seven tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks.

COACHES

The Lindenwood football team scored three unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter for a come-from-behind 28-24 victory over Glenville State on Friday night at Hunter Stadium. The Lions entered the final quarter down 24-7 but they dominated the final 15 minutes of play. The defense allowed just 57 yards of total offense in the quarter, forced three punts, and intercepted a pass to seal the victory. Lindenwood’s senior leaders on offense, Andrew Helmick and Denodus O’Bryant, sparked the comeback. The Lions got the ball with 12:45 remaining and had great field position on the Glenville State 40-yard line. After a penalty took the ball down to the 25-yard line, Helmick caught two passes for 23 yards, and O’Bryant had a two-yard rushing touchdown. On its next possession, Lindenwood’s other receivers got into the action. Matt Angell caught a big pass on third-and-18 for 19 yards to keep the drive going. Jordan Gater, Angell, and Sam Sealer then caught three consecutive passes to get the ball down to the two. O’Bryant finished the drive off again with another rushing touchdown. Glenville State picked up one first down on its next possession, but on third-andeight from its 26, Malach Radigan recorded a sack and the Pioneers’ punt gave the Lions the ball near midfield. Lindenwood’s final drive was all Helmick. On the first play, he caught a shovel pass and advanced the ball to the Glenville State 19-yard line. On the second play, Helmick rushed the ball and found a small hole on the right side. He was able to stay inbounds and score a 19-yard touchdown. Glenville State finished the game with 401 yards of total offense, compared to 368 for the Lions. Lindenwood turned it over four times, compared to three for the Pioneers. Glenville State also dominated time of possession, including holding the ball for over 22 minutes in the first half. Helmick finished with eight catches for 114 yards, while O’Bryant rushed for 72 yards and caught four passes for 23 yards. Angell finished just shy of the 100-yard receiving mark with 95. Ben Gomez threw for 287 yards.

The Lindenwood offense put up one of the top passing games in the 100-year history of the league. The Lions threw for over 500 yards in a 49-28 victory over Nebraska-Kearney. Lindenwood played nearly a flawless first half as it jumped out to a 42-7 lead by halftime. The Lions scored touchdowns on six of their first eight possessions and had 408 passing yards in the first 30 minutes. The Lions big lead on the scoreboard enabled them to attack the record books. Denodus O’Bryant broke the first record with a nine-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. Those points gave him 330 for his career, breaking the previous record of 329 which was held by kicker Halley Ferrell. Wide receiver Andrew Helmick broke the next record when he finished the first half with 200 receiving yards, breaking the school’s single-game mark of 184. Quarterback Ben Gomez chased several school and conference passing records in the third quarter. He threw his sixth touchdown pass in the third which tied both a Lindenwood and MIAA single-game record. Also in the third quarter, Gomez set the Lindenwood single-game record with 480 passing yards, shattering the previous record of 445 which was held by Ben Kisner. He also had his second 400-yard passing game of his career, which ties the mark held by Kisner and Staback. His 480 yards was the third-most in MIAA history, just 13 behind the record shared by two quarterbacks. As a team, Lindenwood tied the school record for passing touchdowns, had the second-most passing yards in school history, the third-most completions, and the seventh-most total offensive yards. Helmick finished the game with two touchdowns, and other receiving touchdowns were scored by Matt Angell, Jaron Alexander, Sam Sealer, and Thomas Stubbs. Alexander had 80 receiving yards, Angell finished with 73, and O’Bryant had 68 receiving yards to go along with 34 yards rushing on just four attempts.

Lindenwood football’s Denodus O’Bryant became the school’s all-time leading rusher on Saturday afternoon at Hunter Stadium. The No. 18 Washburn Ichabods spoiled the celebration though by winning 19-16. O’Bryant broke the record in style midway through the second quarter. Washburn had just scored a touchdown to go up 6-3 and Lindenwood took over on its own 12-yard line. On the very first play of the drive, O’Bryant broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage and then outran the defense on the left side of the field. The 88-yard touchdown was the longest running play in school history and made O’Bryant the school’s leader in career rushing yards. Both teams kicked a field goal later in the second quarter and Lindenwood led 13-9 at halftime. Two more field goals in the third quarter gave Lindenwood a 16-12 lead heading into the fourth quarter. In the final quarter, the Lions had two chances to build its lead. Both times they drove inside the Washburn 30-yard line but missed long field goal attempts. After the final missed field goal, Washburn went on a 12-play, 73-yard drive to win the game. The big play was a 10-yard completion on fourth-and-seven that took the ball down to Lindenwood’s eight-yard line. Three plays later, the Ichabods scored the game-winning touchdown on a one-yard run. Lindenwood’s defense played another strong game. It did not force a turnover but made Washburn punt on half of its possessions and also caused a turnover on downs. Twice, Washburn had first-and-goal inside the five-yard line, and the defense held Washburn to field goals. One of those started with Washburn taking all four snaps within two yards of the goal line. Connor Harris led Lindenwood with eight tackles and two pass breakups. Joe Day had six tackles, three tackles for loss, and the team’s lone sack. Cody Fogle made seven stops, including one for a loss, and broke up a pass. Pierre Desir and Justin Broome each had seven tackles, and Broome had two pass breakups. Offensively, Lindenwood came in with a run-heavy gameplan as it rushed the ball 43 times, compared to 19 passes. The Lions finished with 265 rushing yards and they averaged 6.2 yards per carry. O’Bryant had 228 rushing yards, the fifth-most in Lindenwood history for a single game.

2013 OUTLOOK

Playing its first nationally-ranked NCAA Division II opponent without its starting quarterback proved to be too much for the Lindenwood football team. The Lions had a season-low in total offense as they fell to No. 21 Emporia State by a 13-0 score. Lindenwood had two of its best drives of the game to start the contest but it was unable to score any points. Both drives stalled around the Emporia State 30-yard line as the Lions turned the ball over downs and a missed a long field goal attempt. The game remained scoreless until early in the second quarter when Emporia State kicked a 32-yard field goal. That 3-0 score remained until halftime thanks to Lindenwood’s defense. With 4:37 left in the second quarter, Emporia State intercepted a Lions pass at Lindenwood’s eight-yard line. The Hornets did not score though as Lindenwood made them turn it over on downs. After the Lions went three-and-out, Emporia State marched into the red zone again, but this time Lindenwood’s Brock Reed intercepted a pass in the endzone to end the threat. In the second half, Lindenwood’s defense continued to keep the game close. The only points Emporia State managed was a field goal in the third quarter and a touchdown off a short field early in the fourth quarter. The Lions had one final chance to get back into the game after a long Nate Orlando kickoff return gave Lindenwood the field position advantage for much of the fourth quarter. The Lions eventually had first-and-goal from the four-yard line midway through the quarter, but on third down Emporia State intercepted a pass and ended Lindenwood’s hope of another fourth-quarter comeback. Lindenwood finished the day with 282 yards of total offense, with 73 rushing yards and 209 passing yards. The Lions completed just 38.5 percent of their passes and threw four interceptions. The defense held Emporia State and the MIAA’s top passing quarterback to 257 passing yards and 387 total offensive yards. Lindenwood forced two turnovers and had three sacks. Brock Reed had a team-high 15 tackles to go along with his interception. Connor Harris had 11 tackles, two tackles for loss, and a sack. Sean Gracy and Joe Day each had two tackles for a loss and a sack. Gracy also forced a fumble and Chaz Fulton had a fumble recovery.

The Lindenwood football team closed out its 2012 home schedule on Saturday afternoon with a 45-30 victory over Missouri Southern. Missouri Southern returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and then scored another touchdown on its first offensive possession for a 14-0 lead. Late in the first quarter, Lindenwood finally got a spark from its special teams. Malach Radigan blocked a Missouri Southern punt and picked it up for a 15-yard punt return touchdown. After a three-and-out, Lindenwood took over on its 37-yard line. On the very first play, quarterback Dillon Miller completed a pass to Helmick that Helmick turned into a 63-yard touchdown reception with just 27 seconds remaining in the second quarter. Lindenwood’s offense continued to put points on the board throughout the second quarter and the Lions scored 31 unanswered points at one point. James Neal kicked a field goal to put Lindenwood ahead for good, and Helmick scored two more touchdowns on a 65-yard pass play and a 76-yard punt return. A big reason for those points was Lindenwood’s defense getting the ball back to the offense. Missouri Southern went five straight drives with running just three plays in the first half. It had to punt the ball on four of those drives, and Lindenwood’s Pierre Desir intercepted a pass on the other. Missouri Southern did put together a drive late in the half to make the score 31-21 at halftime. The third quarter was quick with both teams having the ball just two times. Lindenwood scored the only points when it ended a nine-play drive with a 26-yard O’Bryant touchdown reception. Missouri Southern did rally in the fourth quarter with two touchdowns to pull within 38-30. Lindenwood sealed the victory though by answering that last touchdown with a 73-yard pass play to Helmick. Missouri Southern did not pick up a first down on its next possession and Lindenwood was able to run out the clock. Miller put up impressive numbers in his second game as a starting quarterback. He completed 11-of-20 passes for 301 yards and four touchdowns. Helmick finished with 328 all-purpose yards and O’Bryant had 177 all-purpose yards.

The Lindenwood football team earned one of the biggest wins in program history on Saturday afternoon when it went to No. 18 Pittsburg State and came away with a dominating 44-33 victory over the defending NCAA Division II National Champions. O’Bryant’s first touchdown came on the first offensive play of the game when he caught a pass and went 80 yards for a touchdown. That was the only points of the first quarter for both teams as Pittsburg State drove twice on its first two possessions but got no points after a punt and a missed field goal. After the missed field goal, Lindenwood had another one-play touchdown drive. This time, O’Bryant found the open field on a rushing play and went 80 yards for the score. Pittsburg State answered on its next drive but Justin Broome blocked the extra point to keep the game at 14-6. Lindenwood added 10 more points in the quarter on a James Neal field goal and an Andrew Helmick touchdown reception. The half ended with Lindenwood leading 24-12 after Pittsburg State scored seconds before the half ended. The Gorillas appeared poised to take over early in the third quarter. Pittsburg State scored on its second possession of the half to pull within five points, and the Lions looked like they were headed for a punt with a third-and-13 on its 13-yard line. On that play, O’Bryant caught another pass and broke several tackles on his way for an 87-yard touchdown. That was the turning point as Lindenwood forced a three-and-out and got the ball back on Pittsburg State’s 29-yard line. The Lions then had their third one-play scoring drive when Nate Orlando found the endzone on a 29-yard run. Another fumble late in the third quarter gave Lindenwood the ball back in the redzone and led to another Neal field goal. Neal added another field goal in the fourth quarter and the Gorillas scored two touchdowns in the final eight minutes of the game to cut into Lindenwood’s final margin of victory. The Gorillas outgained Lindenwood 525-437 and had a 28-14 advantage in first downs. They had two fumbles though and the Lions won the field-position battle, especially in the second half when they started their drives on average at their 42-yard line. Lindenwood averaged 9.1 yards per play, compared to 6.4 for Pittsburg State.

SCORE BY QUARTERS

COACHES

The Lindenwood Lions football team closed out its 2012 season with a 41-21 loss to Winona State in the Mineral Water Bowl in Excelsior springs, Mo. Both offenses started off with long touchdown passes. Dillon Miller hooked up with Andrew Helmick on the third play from scrimmage for an 87-yard pass and catch to give the Lions the early 7-0 lead. The touchdown pass was the third longest in Mineral Bowl history. It didn’t take the Warriors long to answer the Lindenwood score. Just two plays later John Teigland connected with Josh Mikes on a 75-yard score to tie the game. After the score was tied the Lions offense continued to move the ball, but the drive stalled and James Neal missed a 37-yard field goal attempt. Winona State proceeded to go on a 10-play drive that ended in a field goal and gave the Warriors a 10-7 lead. The next four possessions saw both teams be forced to punt. With just over nine minutes to play in the first half, Ben Gomez took over at quarterback and proceeded to throw a 58-yard touchdown pass to Helmick to give the Lions the 14-10 lead. The Lindenwood defense came back onto the field and forced a punt to give the ball right back to the Lions offense. Then everything started to change in the wrong direction for Lindenwood. Gomez threw an interception on the second play of the drive, which was turned into seven points just five plays later. Then the Winona State defense forced a threeand-out which led to another touchdown late in the half to give the Warriors the 24-14 lead at the break. The second half started quickly for the Warriors as it took just three plays to go 80-yards for the touchdown. Gomez would throw his second interception of the game on the next possession and once again Winona State turned it into points. This time it was a 27-yard field goal and gave the Warriors a commanding 27-14 lead. Lindenwood’s offense tried to sneak back into the game after going on a 14 play 80-yard drive to cut the lead to 10. But as Winona State had done all game the team answered with a touchdown to put the game out of reach.

Lindenwood Football Playoff History 1998 NAIA First Round

Lindenwood 14, St. Francis 35

Nov. 21 I Wichita, Kan.

Nov. 17 I Fort Wayne, Ind.

The Lindenwood football team made its first postseason appearance in 1998 when the No. 16 Lions travelled to No. 3 Southwestern (Kan.) for a firstround NAIA Football Championship Series game. Lindenwood had better statistics in the game except for the main one as the Lions fell 12-10. The Lions struck first when they took the opening kickoff, ran 15 plays, and scored on a one-yard run by Marceo Haywood. Southwestern responded later in the quarter with a touchdown, but the Moundbuilders missed the extra point. Neither team scored the rest of the half, and Lindenwood led 7-6 at halftime. In the second half, Southwestern took a 12-7 lead early in the third quarter after a touchdown but missed its two-point conversion. Dante Buscaglia cut that lead to 12-10 with a 25-yard field goal with 9:24 left in the game. Later in the quarter, Lindenwood nearly scored the game-winning touchdown, but it was called back due to a penalty. Lindenwood had to settle for a 50-yard field goal, but Buscagliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s try came up a few yards short. Haywood led the team with 274 all-purpose yards. He had 158 rushing yards, 45 receiving yards, and 71 punt return yards.

No. 12 Lindenwood jumped out to a 14-0 lead over No. 3 Saint Francis (Ind.) after one quarter, but the rest of the first-round playoff game belonged to the Cougars as they defeated the Lions by a 35-14 score. The Lions scored on a pair of Richard Murrell runs in the first quarter to take a two-touchdown lead. Saint Francis answered with three touchdowns in the second quarter and added insurance touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters. Saint Francisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense shutdown Lindenwood after that second Murrell score, as the Lions had just 147 yards of offense for the rest of the game. Saint Francis outgained Lindenwood 445-281 for the game. The Cougars especially controlled play on the ground with 274 yards, which helped them have nearly 39 minutes of possession. Lindenwood turned the ball over twice, and did not force a turnover. Hakeem Abdullah had a team-high 81 rushing yards and 32 receiving yards. Ben Kisner threw for 158 yards and Murrell finished with 50 rushing yards. Jared Shoemaker led the defense with 16 tackles and one pass breakup.

2004 NAIA First Round Lindenwood 19, Hastings 20 Nov. 20 I St. Charles, Mo. The first home playoff game in Lindenwood history ended in heartbreak as No. 16 Hastings kicked a field goal as time expired for a 20-19 win over the No. 5 Lions. The two teams traded field goals in the first quarter before Lindenwood went ahead in the second quarter on a 76-yard run by DeDe Dorsey. Hastings added two touchdowns later in the quarter, and Lindenwood trailed 17-13 at halftime after Jared Tatom kicked a 23-yard field goal with less than a minute remaining in the half. In the second half, Lindenwood took the lead on the first play of the half when George Mumphard caught a 62-yard touchdown reception. The Lions missed the extra point though, which came back to haunt them. On the final drive, Hastings drove down to Lindenwood territory and kicked a 28-yard field goal at the buzzer. Lindenwood ended the game with 431 yards of offense, 188 more than Hastings. Dorsey collected 195 rushing yards, 15 receiving yards, and 15 kickoff return yards. Emiliano Salazar threw for 225 yards, and Mumphard had 72 receiving yards. Jake Sharp had a team-high 12 tackles, and Brian Loeb had three tackles for loss.

The No. 3 Lindenwood football team advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NAIA Football Championship Series with a 42-14 victory over No. 20 Langston. The Lions defense was the story of the game as it did not allow a point until midway through the fourth quarter. It forced two turnovers, one of which was returned for a touchdown, and twice in the first-half stopped Langston on fourth-and-short plays. Those early stops by the Lindenwood defense helped the squad jump out to 21-0 halftime lead. The Lions then scored touchdowns on their first three possessions of the second half to wrap up the contest. Lindenwood’s defense finished the game with four sacks and 12 tackles for loss. It held Langston to just three yards per rush and only 235 yards through the first three quarters. Wright finished the game with seven tackles, including one sack and two tackles for loss.

2009 NAIA Second ROUND Lindenwood 64, Ottawa 26

Nov. 28 I St. Charles, Mo. The No. 3 Lindenwood football team had its best quarter in school history in the third when it outscored No. 5 Ottawa by a 37-0 margin. Those 15 minutes helped the Lions advance to the NAIA Football Championship Semifinals with a 64-26 victory over the Braves. The Lions used a pair of first quarter touchdown runs by Denodus O’Bryant to jump out to a 13-0 lead. Ottawa responded with a touchdown and field goal to open up the second quarter, before a late Lindenwood drive netted seven more points when Philip Staback hit Matt Angell with a 19-yard touchdown strike. The Lions then prevented the Braves from scoring on a twominute drive and Lindenwood led 20-10 at halftime. The tone of the third quarter was set on the first play when the special teams forced a fumble on the kickoff and Lindenwood took over on the Ottawa five-yard line. It took just one play for LeMarian Parson to score on a run from there. The defense forced a quick punt on Ottawa’s next possession, and the Braves had a bad snap on the punt. That forced the punter to field the ball with his knee on the ground, giving Lindenwood the ball back at the Ottawa 25. It took the Lions just three plays to score from there, with the scoring play being a four-yard run by Matt Angell. The next four times Ottawa touched the ball, the Lindenwood defense forced more turnovers. A fumble forced by Parks Peterson led to a Staback touchdown pass to Rudy Fleming. An interception was returned for a 40yard touchdown by Damian James. Two other interceptions led to another touchdown, this one from Staback to Matt Bramow, and a field goal by Halley Ferrell. When the dust settled in the quarter, Lindenwood was in complete command by a 57-10 score. O’Bryant rushed for 101 yards on just 11 carries and had two rushing scores. The Lions offense finished with 393 total yards, including 155 on the ground and 238 passing.

Lindenwood 42, Carroll 35 Dec. 19 I Helena, Mont.

The No. 3 Lions scored a touchdown with 55 seconds remaining for a 42-35 win over the No. 2 Fighting Saints. In the second quarter, the offenses of both teams dominated and the Lions went into halftime with a 28-21 advantage. O’Bryant scored again early in the third quarter on a 10-yard touchdown reception from Staback. Carroll answered though with two straight touchdowns, the final one coming six seconds into the fourth quarter, which tied the game at 35. The defenses took over for much of the fourth quarter. After a Lindenwood turnover deep in Carroll territory, the Lions’ defense forced a turnover on downs. Both teams punted twice after that, with the final punt giving the Lions the ball at their 12-yard line. On the first play, Staback completed a 49-yard pass to Marcel Thompson to put the ball into Carroll territory. On the next play, O’Bryant rushed for 29 yards to take the ball to the 10-yard line. After two rushes for no gain, Staback found Bramow in the corner of the endzone for a 10-yard touchdown reception with 49 seconds remaining. Carroll completed one first down on its final drive, but Lindenwood forced another turnover on downs to seal the victory and a trip to Rome, Ga., for the program’s first ever appearance in the NAIA Football National Championship game. Lindenwood finished with 570 yards of offense, 188 on the ground and 382 through the air. Staback completed 26-of-36 passes for 382 yards and three touchdowns. O’Bryant rushed for 157 yards and two scores and had 43 yards receiving and another score. Bramow had seven catches, two for touchdowns, and 79 receiving yards.

2010 NAIA FIRST ROUND

Lindenwood 38, Saint Francis 46 Nov. 20 I St. Charles, Mo. The No. 5 Lindenwood football team saw its 2010 season come to an end at Hunter Stadium when No. 10 Saint Francis upset the Lions by a 46-38 score. The game had five ties and was not settled until Saint Francis’ Austin Coleman hauled in a 15-yard pass from Shaine Tierney with 22 seconds remaining in the game. The two offenses were the story of the game as the defenses combined to force just two punts. The big difference was two Lindenwood turnovers that Saint Francis turned into 14 points. Lindenwood had 476 yards of total offense, compared to 438 for Saint Francis. The Lions averaged 9.2 yards per play, and the Cougars had 5.1 yards per play. Lindenwood couldn’t get the Cougars off the field though as Saint Francis completed 11 third-down plays and was four-of-four on fourth down. The inability to get the ball out of the Cougars’ hands led to Saint Francis holding the ball for over 40 minutes. Staback finished his Lindenwood career by throwing for 354 yards and four touchdowns. Helmick caught five passes for 108 yards, and Holland had four receptions for 87 yards. O’Bryant had 65 yards rushing and 68 receiving. Defensively for the Lions, Damian James and Chris Howard each had nine tackles. James had 0.5 tackles for loss and one pass breakup, and Howard had two tackles for loss. Cody Fogle, Nick Tepea, and Dan Carlisle all forced fumbles, but Saint Francis recovered every one. Tepea also had six tackles, two tackles for loss, and the game’s only sack.

2012 Mineral water bowl

Lindenwood 21, winona state 41 dec. 1 I exelsior springs, Mo. The Lindenwood Lions football team closed out its 2012 season with a 41-21 loss to Winona State in the Mineral Water Bowl in Excelsior springs, Mo. Both offenses started off with long touchdown passes. Dillon Miller hooked up with Andrew Helmick on the third play from scrimmage for an 87yard pass and catch to give the Lions the early 7-0 lead. The touchdown pass was the third longest in Mineral Bowl history. It didn’t take the Warriors long to answer the Lindenwood score. After the score was tied the Lions offense continued to move the ball, but the drive stalled and James Neal missed a 37-yard field goal attempt. Winona State proceeded to go on a 10-play drive that ended in a field goal and gave the Warriors a 10-7 lead. With just over nine minutes to play in the first half, Ben Gomez took over at quarterback and proceeded to throw a 58-yard touchdown pass to Helmick to give the Lions the 14-10 lead. The Lindenwood defense came back onto the field and forced a punt to give the ball right back to the Lions offense. Then everything started to change in the wrong direction for Lindenwood. Gomez threw an interception on the second play of the drive, which was turned into seven points just five plays later. Then the Winona State defense forced a three-and-out which led to another touchdown late in the half to give the Warriors the 24-14 lead at the break. The second half started quickly for the Warriors as it took just three plays to go 80-yards for the touchdown. Gomez would throw his second interception of the game on the next possession and once again Winona State turned it into points. Lindenwood’s offense tried to sneak back into the game after going on a 14 play 80-yard drive to cut the lead to 10. But as Winona State had done all game the team answered with a touchdown to put the game out of reach. The Lions were led by Helmick who caught nine passes for 202 yards and two scores. Alex Robinson also had a good day hauling in six passes for 77 yards. Miller finished the day throwing for 216 yards and two touchdowns, while Gomez compiled 198 yards but threw two interceptions.

LINDENWOOD

Lindenwood finished with 233 total yards of offense, compared to 376 for Sioux Falls. The Lions won the turnover margin by three and held Sioux Falls to under 200 yards in the air and on the ground. Brandon Gould led the defense with eight tackles and an interception. Parks Peterson also had eight tackles, including two for losses 1.5 sacks, and one pass breakup. Carlisle had two turnovers in the contest.

2013 OUTLOOK

The Lindenwood football team fell just three points short of its first ever national championship as No. 1 Sioux Falls beat the No. 3 Lions, 25-22, to win their second consecutive NAIA National Championship. Lindenwood’s defense played its best game of the season, giving up just one offensive touchdown and holding the Cougars, who came into the game averaging 53.6 points, to their lowest point total of the season. The Lions offense, though, was also held below its season numbers by the number one defense in the NAIA. The big difference in the game was special teams, as a Lindenwood miscue led to a Sioux Falls safety and two big kickoff returns helped the Cougars score their only touchdowns of the game. Lindenwood won the field position battle in the first quarter but could not take advantage because of numerous small mistakes on the offense side. A dropped pass stalled the team’s first drive and led to a punt after a good kickoff return had given the Lions the ball around midfield. Later in the quarter, Lindenwood misplayed the kickoff and was trapped inside the 10 yard line, and on the first play, a bad snap caused Lindenwood to take a safety. The defense was strong early inside Lindenwood territory, allowing just two field goals and having an interception on Sioux Falls’ first three drives which gave the Cougars an 8-0 advantage. Lindenwood’s offense finally got things going in its first drive of the second quarter. Richard Murrell kept the drive going with a seven-yard rush on fourth and one, and the drive ended when Matt Bramow made an acrobatic catch in the endzone for a 19-yard touchdown reception. After a three-and-out by Sioux Falls, the Lions quickly took the lead on a three-play 55-yard drive that ended on another Philip Staback touchdown pass to Bramow. Lindenwood’s defense made one more first-half stand, recovering a fumble on the Sioux Falls five with under a minute remaining in the half, and the Lions went into halftime ahead 14-8. The two big special team returns by Sioux Falls occurred in the third quarter, starting with the opening kickoff which the Cougars returned 91 yards to go ahead 15-14. Lindenwood took momentum back when Denodus O’Bryant broke off a 45-yard touchdown run, and Staback rushed for the twopoint conversion to make it 22-15. Another big kickoff return by the Cougars put the ball deep into Lindenwood territory, and it took Sioux Falls just three plays to tie the game with a two-yard touchdown run. Both teams appeared poised to score on their next possession, but neither came away with points. O’Bryant broke off another long touchdown run, but had it called back with a holding call, and the Lions eventually punted. Sioux Falls drove down inside the red zone, but Dan Carlisle intercepted a pass in the endzone to end that drive and the game went into the fourth tied at 22. After Carlisle intercepted Lorenzo Brown, the Lion offense went threeand-out and was forced to kick the football back to the Cougars. On the ensuing drive the Cougars converted on a key third-down play, but the drive would stall at the Lindenwood 24-yard line. Braden Wieking kicked his third field goal of the game, this one a 41-yarder to give the Cougars the lead. Lindenwood would get the football back on its own 24-yard line. After an eight-yard carry by O’Bryant, Staback would rush for a first down. The Lions were stopped on the next three plays and punted the ball away with 7:21 remaining. The Cougars looked ready to run the rest of the clock out, going 13 plays and picking up five first downs, including one on fourth down and one on third. With 1:18 to play, Lindenwood forced a fumble and Carlisle recovered to give Lindenwood one final chance. The Lions went for it all on the first play with a deep pass to Marcel Thompson, but the throw just overshot the receiver who had a step on his defender. After a three-yard run by O’Bryant, the Lions had a sack and incomplete pass to seal the Cougars’ championship.

2013 OUTLOOK

John Creer is in his 23rd year at Lindenwood and his 13th year as the Athletics Director in 2013-14. Creer oversees the largest athletics department at the NCAA Division II level with 27 sports programs. Creer led Lindenwood through its recent move to the NCAA Division II level which was completed in the summer of 2013. Lindenwood had a very successful transition period including the athletics department already winning three conference championships at the NCAA Division II level and the football team earning a berth in the 2012 Mineral Water Bowl. Prior to Lindenwood’s move to the NCAA, Creer oversaw an athletic department that included 21 NAIA sports programs and 25 other varsity programs that competed in other national organizations. While he was athletics director, those programs captured 40 national championships and 134 conference championships. In the NAIA, the athletics department finished in the top five in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup in every season but one since he became Athletics Director. In 2001-02 and 2002-03, Lindenwood won the Directors’ Cup standings for being the top overall athletics department in the NAIA. During Creer’s tenure, the athletics department has grown in the number athletic programs and in the quality of facilities. Creer has been part of the construction of the Lou Brock Sports Complex, the Lindenwood Track, the purchase of Lindenwood Ice Arena, the major renovations of Harlen C. Hunter Stadium, the building of the new Lindenwood Tennis Courts, and the building of the Student-Athlete Center. Before becoming the athletic director at Lindenwood, Creer served as the Dean of Students from 1991 until 1999. Before moving in the administrative side of athletics, Creer was one of the most successful track and field coaches in the country. Creer began his head coaching career in 1970 at Winter Haven High School (Fla.) where he coached the cross country teams and assisting with the track and field teams. In 1973, Creer accepted a teaching position at Kathleen High School in Lakeland, Fla. and was head coach for the cross country and track and field teams. In 1975, he moved onto the collegiate level when he became the cross country coach and assistant coach of the track and field team at Troy State University. After the 1977 season Creer moved onto the Division I level at the University of Florida. At Florida he was the associate head coach from 19771978 and in 1978-79 became the interim head coach of the Gators. Next up for Creer was the international level. In 1979, he was the assistant national track and field coach for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Olympic team. In 1983, he would become a head ttrack and field coach at Wayland Baptist University. After a five-year stint at Wayland, Creer was hired to be the Athletics Director and head cross country and track and field coach at Missouri Baptist. In 1991, Creer would move to Lindenwood but it wasn’t until 1996 when he became the head coach of the cross country and track and field teams.

During Creer’s coaching career he coached three national championship teams in women’s track and field, seven men’s track and field team championships, two world champions in track and field, three Olympic silver medalists, one Olympic bronze medalists, 15 Olympic games participants, 125 individual national champions and 512 AllAmericans. Not only has Creer coached national championship teams and national champions, he has been awarded many individual accolades. He has been the NAIA National Coach of the Year eight times, the NCCAA National Coach of the Year, the West Texas Hall of Fame Coach of the year three times, and has been named the NAIA region and conference coach of the year numerous times. To go along with all of the coach of the year awards Creer has been inducted into four Hall of Fames. In 2001, he was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame, the Missouri Baptist Hall of Fame in 2006, the Lindenwood University Hall of Fame in 2007, and in 2009 he was inducted into the Wayland Baptist Hall of Fame. Along with his numerous duties at Lindenwood, Creer is the chair of the Lindenwood Athletics Hall of Fame committee and is on the Board of Directors for the Saint Charles YMCA. Creer received his bachelor’s degree in English from Western Michigan University in 1970 and earned his master’s degree from Troy State in Educational Administration and Supervision in 1976. Creer is married to his wife Liz and has three daughters (Kimberly, Jennifer, Ashley), three grandsons, and one granddaughter.

a closer look Hunter Stadium is one of the busiest places on campus throughout the year. It is the home for Lindenwood football, men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey, and both men’s and women’s lacrosse programs. The stadium was built in 1976 by the St. Louis football Cardinals as a place to hold their training camp. In 1988, the stadium was renovated and a new artificial turf was installed. Eleven years later in 1999, Hunter Stadium debuted a new turf called Astro Play. After the 2004 season, Hunter Stadium would undergo its biggest renovation. The stadium was be completely renovated, including end zone seating, a brand new two-story press box with luxury boxes, and a new concession area. In 2009, the playing surface at the facility was replaced with Enviroturf. The next renovation was more of an addition. An academic success center, plus coaches’ offices, and new locker rooms, were added in 2012. The threestory building was added behind the south endzone. The facility has hosted NAIA football playoff games in 2004, 2008, 2009, and 2010, and the 95

NAIA Women’s Soccer National Championships in 2001 and 2002. In 2009 and 2010, the St. Louis Rams held training camp scrimmages at Hunter Stadium. Both games drew over 5,000 specators. During the NFL lockout in 2011, several St. Louis Rams players chose Lindenwood for offseason training. The stadium is named after Dr. Harlen C. Hunter, who founded the St. Louis Orthopedic Sports Medicine Clinic in Chesterfield in 1979, the first clinic of its kind in the St. Louis area. Hunter was the key to the upgrades of the playing surface in 1988.

2013 LIndenwood Football MEDIA Guide

Lindenwood Athletics History Athletics has been an important part of Lindenwood University throughout its 185-year history, from the school’s beginnings as an all-girls school to the last 40 years as a coed institution. Over the last decade, Lindenwood athletics have reached their greatest heights as the Intercollegiate Athletics Department has been one of the most successful programs in the country at any level. Early Years There were not many Lindenwood publications in the 1800s, but the few that have been found refer to athletics at the school. An 1898 edition of the school newspaper, Under The Lindens, leads with a story about the importance of physical training at the school: “Few ladies’ schools, and especially in the West, can boast of better facilities for gymnastic training. Each student is required to take regular training in the gymnasium under the direction of a competent teacher, the value of which training need not be dwelt up.” In 1905, a permanent athletics association was organized for the first time at Lindenwood to oversee sports at the school. The first programs included tennis, bowling, fencing, basket-ball, and walking clubs, with the big event being the senior-junior basket-ball contest in which a prize of $10 went to the winning team. It is believed that in the mid-1940s Lindenwood women’s teams began playing intercollegiate athletics, with the major sports being field hockey and basketball. Equestrian also became one of the biggest athletic competitions around the Lindenwood campus during this time period. Modern Athletics Department The beginning of the current Lindenwood Athletics Department can be traced to the early 1970s, when the school began to open its doors to male students. Sports such as baseball, basketball, and soccer were added to the varsity roster and the school began its association with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The first major impact that the Lindenwood athletic department had on a national scale would not come until the 1980s when the women’s soccer team became a yearly threat for the national title. The Lady Lions would never win a national championship, but they reached the national tournament 13 times and had two runner-up finishes and three third-place showings. Lindenwood women’s soccer was a part of one of the greatest collegiate championship games of all-time when it and Simon Fraser played scoreless soccer for over 162 minutes before Simon Fraser scored in the fifth overtime. 1990s The 1990s marked the beginning of a major expansion of the Lindenwood Athletics Department. By the turn of the century, the school would field a team for all 21 sports in which the NAIA offered a national championship. The biggest addition was a varsity football team in 1990. The program won its inaugural game by a 21-14 score over Dana College and went on to have a winning record its first year, foreshadowing what would become one of Lindenwood’s top programs. The highlight of the decade came in 1998 when the indoor track and field team won the NAIA National Championship, the first ever title for the Lindenwood athletics program. The Lions led by just two points heading into the final event of the competition, but the school’s 4x400 relay team finished second to seal the championship. Current Athletics Director John Creer was the head coach of that program, and Sharif Karie was named the meet’s outstanding performer. Aside from the men’s track and field national championship, it was the women who provided the top highlights for Lindenwood throughout the 1990s. The women’s basketball team advanced to three national tournaments and won five conference championships and five conference tournaments during the decade. As mentioned earlier, women’s soccer was a threat nearly every year to have a high finish at the national tournament. Softball became a regular winner late in the decade, going to three national tournaments from 1998-2000. Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) Lindenwood briefly belonged to the American Midwest Conference for three years in the 1990s before joining the Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) in 1996. The school’s affiliation with the HAAC, an 11-team league with schools in Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa, would be its longest with a conference in its history. Almost from the very beginning, Lindenwood raised the reputation of the HAAC on the national level. The athletics program wasted little time in becoming the most prominent member of the conference, finishing second in the conference’s all-sports trophy standings in 1996-97 and then winning the HAAC all-sports award every year since. Lindenwood won nearly 46 percent of the total conference championships during its time in the HAAC. Its 128 HAAC titles are 93 more than the next closest school has won in that span. In fact, in just 15 years, Lindenwood won more HAAC titles than any other school in conference history, despite the fact that many of the HAAC schools have been in the league since it was started in 1971.

INTRODUCTION / MEDIA INFO

2000s The last 10 years of Lindenwood athletics have been marked by two main themes – continued expansion and success. The two themes merged in 2008 for the biggest accomplishment of the program’s history when two athletes with Lindenwood ties competed in the Olympic Games. NAIA Success The last decade has seen Lindenwood’s NAIA programs make the leap from being good to being elite. Lindenwood won 10 NAIA national championships, with nine of them coming since the 2002-03 school year. Half of these have come from the Lions wrestling team, which has won five titles starting with the 2002 national championship. Besides its 1998 title, men’s track and field has also won two other indoor national championships and one outdoor title. The final national championship came from the 2004 men’s soccer team. In the annual NACDA Directors’ Cup standings, Lindenwood has finished seventh or better for 13 straight years, and only once in that span has the school finished outside the top five. It has four runner-up finishes, and twice Lindenwood has won the Directors’ Cup. In 2001-02, Lindenwood won the Directors’ Cup for the first time. That year, the school had seven top-ten national finishes as it edged the second-place school by 23.5 points. In 2002-03, Lindenwood repeated in another close contest that saw the school win by 28.5 points. That year, the school again had seven athletic programs with top-ten finishes at their national events. Lindenwood has also had several exciting runs at national championship events throughout the years. The Lions football team began building a powerhouse with the hiring of Patrick Ross in 2004. The program reached its greatest heights in December 2009 when it played in the NAIA national championship game, losing by just three points to future NCAA Division II school Sioux Falls. Men’s basketball reached the NAIA Division II semifinals in 2006 and advanced to the second round of the NAIA Division I National Tournament in 2011. On the women’s side, volleyball head coach Ron Young has taken his team to three NAIA national championship events in the last four years, including a quarterfinal showing in 2007. Women’s track and field has been coming closer to a national title in recent years, including a third-place finish at the 2009 outdoor championships. NCAA In 2009, Lindenwood University President Dr. James D. Evans formed a committee to explore what level would be the best fit for the Lindenwood Athletics Department. The committee recommended that NCAA Division II was a better fit than the NAIA, and on Feb. 12, 2010, the Lindenwood Board of Directors voted unanimously to allow the administration to apply for NCAA Division II membership. On July 12, 2010, Lindenwood was accepted into its first year of NCAA Division II candidacy, and the next summer it advanced to the second year of the candidacy phase. In the summer of 2012, Lindenwood was accepted into the provisional year for NCAA Division II. As part of the transition, Lindenwood announced on Sept. 24, 2010, that it was joining the MidAmerica Intercollegiate Athletics Association for the majority of its sports programs. In the school’s first season as a probationary member of the NCAA was a very successful one for the university. It started with the men’s soccer team winning both the regular season conference championship and the tournament championship. Not only did soccer have a great first year the Lions football team qualified for the Mineral Water Bowl. The men’s basketball team was just one win away from being crowned conference champions. Since the university was in its probation year no sports that had an automatic qualifier were eligible for the postseason. Finally, in 2013 the Lindenwood Athletics Department’s long haul of becoming members of the NCAA finally ended. The 2013-14 season will be the team’s first year all teams will be eligible for the postseason. 2008 Beijing Olympics During the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, two Lions were among the athletes who marched into the stadium. Lindenwood University was even mentioned by Bob Costas on the national telecast that was seen by over 34 million people, making the school just one of two United States colleges mentioned during the parade of athletes. The athlete that Costas talked about was Donald Thomas, who has one of the most unique stories in track and field history. Thomas was a junior varsity basketball player at Lindenwood who tried the high jump one evening in order to win a dare. Less than two months after winning that dare, he finished second at the national championships in the indoor high jump and helped Lindenwood win a team national title. After graduating from Lindenwood in 2006, he used his final year of eligibility to become an NCAA Division I national champion at Auburn University. He then burst onto the national scene by winning the 2007 World Championships. At the Olympics, Thomas, who was representing the country of the Bahamas, finished 21st after clearing 2.20m. A Lindenwood athlete at the time, Sean McLelland was also a participant at that year’s Olympics, representing the United States in the International Skeet Shooting competition. McLelland had his best international performance at the event, tying for sixth after hitting 118-of-125 targets. That showing advanced him to a shoot-off to determine who would advance to finals, and he fell short in that round. Despite being one target short of making the finals, he still finished ahead of 13 shooters above him in the world rankings, including five in the top ten.

The Lions lost in the Region V final against McKendree 2-1. That was the last time the Lions would lose in 2004. The Lions traveled to Olathe, Kan., for the NAIA National Tournament, and it was a good stay. In the first round the Lions, the No. 3 shut out No. 14 Judson (Ill.) 3-0. In the quarterfinals the Lions matched up against Holy Names from California and were victorious 4-1. Next up in the semifinals for the Lions was No. 10 Berry (Ga.), and it was a 1-0 shutout victory. After that win, it was on to the finals against Auburn Montgomery. It was a rainy, cold night in Olathe, and the Lions scored the game’s first and only goal in the 61st minute. Milivoje Cecaric scored on a header from a corner kick and it was all the Lions needed. The Lions won the program’s first national championship in four tries at the NAIA National Tournament. Ignacio Novas was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, and goalie Edin Sabic was the Outstanding Defensive Player. Martin Barreiro joined Novas and Sabic on the all-tournament team, and Novas, Barreiro, and Andres Sanchez were honorable mention All-Americans. Lindenwood finished the 2004 season with a 19-3-1 overall record.

Lindenwood Remains Great Place To Work Lindenwood University has been recognized for the fifth time in the annual “Great Colleges to Work For” report assembled by the Chronicle of Higher Education. The results of the study were released July 22, 2013, in the Chronicle’s sixth annual report on the academic workplace and were derived from a survey of more than 44,000 employees at 300 colleges and universities in the United States. Lindenwood was recognized in the areas of Collaborative Governance, Confidence in Senior Leadership, and Supervisor/Department Chair Relationship. Ninety-seven institutions were recognized in the report, including 76 four-year schools and 21 two-year institutions. The results were based on a two-part assessment that included an institutional audit of demographics and workplace policies and practices, and a survey of faculty, administrators, and professional support staff. The employee survey was the primary factor in determining which institutions were recognized, according to the Chronicle. Lindenwood was also recognized as a Great College to Work For in 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2012. Lindenwood President James D. Evans, PhD, said the honor is the result of ongoing efforts to foster a professional environment of support and respect among the faculty and staff.
