today's game lindenwood lions vs. saint joseph’s pumas september 17, 2011
Lindenwood and Saint Joseph’s (Ind.) hook up here at Harlen C. Hunter Stadium this evening in the first NCAA Division II football game ever hosted on the Lindenwood campus. The Lions are 2-0, coming off a defenseinspired 67-10 dismantling of Graceland (Iowa) last weekend. The Pumas are 0-2, after losing at home last Saturday at the hands of No. 8 Shepherd (W. Va.), 45-7. The Lions will step into the ring in their third weight class of the season here this evening – after opening the campaign with a stunning road upset of Div. I Northern Colorado two weeks ago, head coach Patrick Ross saw his team do last week what it has historically done to NAIA teams. St. Joseph’s, coached for the first season by Cory Sanders, and a future football member of the Div. II Great Lakes Valley Conference, would ould figure to fall somewhere between UNC and Graceland. The Lions were completely dominant on the defensive side of the ball last weekend, limiting the Yellowjackets to 101 yards in total offense for the game. The Graceland rushing game managed -7 yards on 46 carries. That is not a misprint. In two games, the Lion defense has forced 35 thirddown situations, and the opposition has been able to convert only eight of those into first downs. Included in that extraordinaryy number are eight three-and-outs against Graceland and six againstt Northern Colorado. Basically, the Lion punt return team is on standby as soon as the defense goes on the field. That punt return team itself was in high gear last weekend, d, blocking one punt (by freshman wideout Alex Robinson, a budding ng star) and returning two others for touchdowns (one by senior receiver eiver Mike Bunton and another by junior transfer tailback Therman McGowan). The Lions have long prided themselves on outstanding ng special teams play, and it has been a strength again in 2011: junior place kicker James Neal is 4-for-4 on field goal attempts, the Lions are averaging 27 yards per kickoff return and 18 yards per punt return, and senior punter Morris Keseloff ’s net average per punt is nine yards higher than Lindenwood’s opponent average. The unit that has yet to match last season’s record-shattering pace has been the young Lion offense. New quarterback John Uribe has been very good at times, and at times has looked like a guy in his first few games in a new system. After posting 23 first downs at Northern Colorado, the Lions could come up with only 17 last weekend … some of which had to do with the fact that the punt return team kept stealing possessions, and some of which had to do with the LU defense consistently providing short fields to work with. Still, the Lions are an offensive unit with great speed. The execution errors should become less a factor as the season moves along and some of that inexperience goes away. Lion coaches and fans are, without a doubt, some of
the most spoiled in the country when it comes to expectations of the offensive unit – averaging 53 points a game over a 25-game stretch, as the Lions did in 2009 and 2010. But this group will find its niche sooner rather than later. Juniors Denodus O’Bryant and Andrew Helmick continue to form one of the top skill position duos in all of Division II football, and Uribe is going to get better every week. Every week is going to be tough for opposing offenses, however. Led by juniors Cody Fogle and Brock Reed, defensive coordinator Deion Melvin’s unit has been stifling, limiting the first two opponents to only 2.8 yards per snap. The Lions have gotten pass rush without blitzing, they have stuffed the run while p playing y g their base defense, and they have been money on third down … all ingredients which aadd up to being very hard for offenses to handle. St. Joseph’s will ttry to solve that puzzle tonight behind sophomore quarterback Billy V VandeMerkt, who threw for 199 yards in last Saturday’s loss to Shepherd. Shepher Freshman wideout E.J. Woody was the leading receiver, grabbing ten balls for 90 yards, while senior Jake grab McFadden was the top rusher. The Pumas are very young McF on offense, with four freshmen (three of them offensive linemen) in the starting lineup. An interesting matchup lline tonight tonigh will be that young Puma offensive front against the athletic Lion Lio defensive line. With Wit eight sacks already on the season, that Lion pass rush has been be fierce, consistently producing long yardage situations situation on second and third down. Those scenarios are where m most offenses are prone to mistakes, and they are most likely to lead to impatience in play selection. If that trend continues continue here tonight, the Pumas will have to be careful not to be the team that begins to add to the Lions’ takeaway numbers, the only area where Lindenwood has been somewhat human on defense (only two in the two games). With games against Division II competition on tap for tonight and next week (a short road trip to Rolla to play Missouri S&T), the Lions can continue tonight to establish themselves as a team to be reckoned with next season in the MIAA. The win over Northern Colorado was a nice feather in the cap, but college football is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business, and the Lions would definitely like to be 4-0 when that second road trip to a Division I school rolls around with a trip to South Dakota at the end of the month. Lindenwood has won 22 consecutive regular season games on the turf here at Hunter Stadium, so it’s a tall order for a young St. Joseph’s outfit. The other thing that is certain about college football, though, is that as soon as you think you are a “favorite” in any game, you can find yourself crying the blues after it’s over – just ask Northern Colorado. The Lions have no intention of letting that happen at home here tonight.

Defense Fuels Lions 2-0 Start Over the last few seasons, the Lindenwood University offense has led the Lions football team behind record-shattering numbers. In 2011, that offense is still trying to reach peak performance as it is breaking in eight new starters. The Lindenwood defense has filled the void though and led the Lions to a 2-0 start. Statistical Numbers Though the sample size is small, Lindenwood appears to be on the right track for much improved defensive numbers in 2011. The Lions have allowed just 30 points on the season. Seven of those came on a defensive touchdown and 10 more were the results of a short field. Lindenwood has been on the field for 30 drives, and has allowed points on just five of them. The Lions have forced 20 punts, two turnovers, one safety, one turnover on downs, and one drive ended at halftime. On total defensive numbers, Lindenwood is allowing just 182 yards a game, with 47 on the ground and 135 through the air. Those numbers are boosted by the Graceland game in which the Lions tied a school record by allowing minus-seven rushing yards, and had the second-best mark in program history with allowing 101 total yards. In the first half against the Yellowjackets, Lindenwood allowed just a single yard. Perhaps the biggest improvement is on third-down conversions. Last season, the Lions were in the bottom half of the NAIA by allowing opponents a 39 percent conversion rate. This season, Lindenwood is allowing just 23 percent against Northern Colorado and Graceland. New Coordinator and System The most obvious change in the defense this year is on the sidelines where Deion Melvin takes over as the defensive coordinator. Melvin comes to St. Charles after 18 years at the NCAA Division I level, including the last two at Ball State University. His resume includes coaching seven All-Americans and two Buck Buchanan award winners which goes to the top defensive player in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Series. “I liked the tradition of Lindenwood football and how they have a track record of winning,” Melvin said of his decision to come to Lindenwood. “On my interview, I saw the things they were doing like the new locker room addition and it looks like Lindenwood is interested in the student-athletes and building a great program. I wanted to be around people that wanted to win and know how to win.” Along with a new coordinator, Lindenwood’s defensive players have had to learn a new system. The Lions are now playing a NFL-type system that requires the players to have knowledge of the game, their responsibilities, and also what their teammates are doing. “The biggest thing we preach is running to the ball and finish,” said Melvin. “The other thing is toughness. We are not a big team so we have to
play physical and tough.” “Everything is a lot more tempo, putting people in position to make plays, and flying to the balls at all times,” safety Cody Fogle said. “It is much more complex this year,” cornerback Donald Collier said. “In the meetings, we have to know what everyone is doing on the field. That makes us play a lot better as a team.” “More times than not, it is more a belief in the system,” Melvin said. “The players trust that the coaches are putting them in the right position to make plays. Regardless of what you do x’s and o’s, the kids have to believe you can get it done and that it is the right thing to do from them.” The Players Head coach Patrick Ross is quick to point out that it is the players who are making the defense better. Eight starters have at least one year of playing experience and that experience is paying off for the 2011 Lions. Mixed in to that are three talented transfer additions to the starting lineup. “I am pleased with everyone but both safeties have been instrumental to our success,” Melvin said about Christian Golder and Fogle. “They have done a great job implementing what we do in the passing and run games.” Also in the backfield are cornerbacks Collier and Springer. They have one of the toughest jobs with a lot of one-on-one coverage. The linebackers are led by Brock Reed, who is playing a hybrid nickel position. Up front, returner Malach Radigan anchors the inside. On the outside, transfers Joe Day and Sean Gracy, and returners Thomas Stubbs and Jon McComb all rotate in and have done a phenomenal job with the many things that Melvin does with that position. The Future The exciting news for Lindenwood fans and scary news for opposing offenses is that the Lions defense is still improving. “We are still a work in progress,” Melvin stated. “We are still not playing exactly the way we want to play within our scheme.” “The defense is playing with tons of intensity and passion right now on every snap,” Ross said. “The challenge for them is to maintain that for a full season. “We are playing really good defense right now and it is fun to watch. Those guys are doing a great job.”

LU Women’s Ice Hockey’s Applies To New Conference The College Hockey America (CHA) women’s hockey conference announced earlier this week that L Lindenwood University has submitted an application for admission to the league. If accepted, Lindenwood will become the sixth member of the conference. The NCAA league c currently consists of Mercyhurst (Pa.), Niagara (N.Y.), Robert Morris (Pa.), and Syracuse (N.Y.). Penn State w join the conference in 2012-13, the same year that the Lady Lions hope to join as well. will “We are very honored and excited with the news that the CHA Directors have accepted our a application for membership,” said Lindenwood head coach Vince O’Mara. “We are equally as excited t show the CHA and its member institutions how committed Lindenwood University is to its women’s to h hockey program. We will continue our hard work to assure that with time, we will be a very competitive p program for many years to come.” The CHA has sent a representative to the NCAA National Tournament every year since 2005, a with the addition of Lindenwood, the conference would be able to receive an automatic bid to the and, N NCAA tournament. The Lindenwood women’s hockey team will officially be considered a NCAA Division II tteam when the athletics program finishes its transition. However, since there is no NCAA Division II Championship for the sport of women’s hockey, the Lady Lions will be competing at the highest level of collegiate women’s hockey. The step up in competition begins next Friday when the Lady Lions open up their first NCAA schedule with a game at Wisconsin. The Badgers are the defending NCAA National Champions and are the premier program in women’s hockey, with four national titles since 2006. Lindenwood has five other games against teams that finished last season in the top 10 in the nation. Four of those games are against CHA’s Mercyhurst. The first NCAA game at the Lindenwood Ice Arena in Wentzville, Mo. will take place on Oct. 28 against that Mercyhurst squad which has advanced to the national tournament for seven straight seasons. “It is going to be a very tough season, not only with making the jump to NCAA, but also with the number of away games we have,” said O’Mara. “It is a steep hill to climb, but one we are looking forward to.”

Harlen C. Hunter Stadium
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 underwent its biggest renovation. The stadium was completely renovated, including end zone seating and a brand new two-story press box. In 2009, the playing surface at the facility was replaced with Enviroturf. The facility has hosted NAIA football playoff games in 2004, 2008, 2009, and 2010, and the NAIA Women’s Soccer National Championships in 2001 and 2002. The last three seasons the St. Louis Rams held training camp scrimmages at Hunter Stadium. All three 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.
The Future Home of Lindenwood Athletics Coaches, players, and recruits at Lindenwood University can’t stop talking about the institution’s plans for a new three-story athletics building overlooking Hunter Stadium. The building will be the home of the Lions’ football team, as well as the men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s lacrosse, and field hockey teams. The ground floor will consist of visitor locker rooms, a football players’ lounge and locker room, and a state-of-the-art athletic training center. The second floor will house a spacious academic support center, along with clubhouse-style locker rooms for soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey. The top floor will house coaches’ offices, meeting rooms, and a Hall of Fame room.

About Lindenwood Pioneer educator Mary Sibley founded Lindenwood as a school for young women in 1827. Lindenwood was committed to combining professional issues with academic pursuits, the social with the intellectual, and the spiritual with the physical. In short, Mary Sibley brought holistic higher education to the American frontier. Lindenwood became a Presbyterian college in 1853 and still maintains a historical relationship with the Presbyterian Church. In 1918, Lindenwood became a four-year college. In 1969, Lindenwood attempted to strengthen its financial base by becoming co-ed. The school altered its name in 1974. Doing business as The Lindenwood Colleges, it had become a federation of four enterprises: The Lindenwood College for Women, The Lindenwood College for Individualized Education. Graduate programs had also been added to the mix.
During the ‘70s and ‘80s, the school suffered annual operating deficits and accumulated substantial indebtedness. In the spring of 1989, the number of students had dropped below 1,000, the financial situation was dire, and there was no well-defined sense of purpose and direction. In view of the school’s seemingly inexorable decline, the board of directors considered closing the doors permanently. Instead of shutting down of America’s oldest institutions of higher education, Lindenwood’s board of directors made a courageous decision to “refound” the school by returning to the fundamental precepts of individualized, holistic, values-oriented higher education that combines the practical with the academic. At the height of its revival, Lindenwood College became Lindenwood University in 1997. Enrollment burgeoned, and new construction arrived in late 1997 with the Hyland Performance Arena. By 1998-99, the unduplicated student count approached 9,500, the faculty was growing, and the school balanced its budgets and increased revenues. In 2000, Lindenwood dedicated the first of eight new residence halls to be constructed over a decade - the first such construction in more than 30 years. In 2002, Lindenwood built a beautiful new campus center. The 136,000-square-foot J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts opened in 2008. Mary Sibley ran a tightly managed school with a resourceful spirit and a clear purpose. She would have been proud of today’s Lindenwood.
