Golden Eagle Quick Hits Get It To Forrest • Forrest Dunivin (Fr., WR, Las Flores, Calif./Aviation), took awhile to get acclimated to UMC, but has really come on as of late for the Golden Eagles. Dunivin has 14 receptions for 142 yards in the last three games for Minnesota Crookston. His best game of the year came against Minot State University Oct. 26 with nine receptions for 83 yards. Looking Toward The Future • The Golden Eagles have had a lot of underclassmen play major impacts this season, especially on the offensive side of the ball, led by startin quarterback Kyle Larson (Fr., Clayton, Wis.). Larson has over 1,200 yards passing this season, three of his top targets are underclassmen with Dunivin, Keoni Piceno (Fr., WR, Wahiawa, Hawai’i) and Justin Tago Su’e (Fr., WR, Ewa Beach, Hawai’i). Those three receivers have combined for 55 catches for 666 yards. In the rushing game, Talo Pascal (So., RB, Arlington, Texas) has led all rushers this season with 128 rushes for 421 yards and four touchdowns. On the offensive line, underclassmen Drew McDurmin (Fr., OL, Aiea, Hawai’i), John Mitzel (Fr., OL, Aliso Viejo, Calif.) and Joe Machacek (So., OL, Eagan, Minn.) have all started games. On the defensive side of the ball, Trent Galkoski (Fr., DB, Grossmont, Calif.) is the only freshman to start a game this season. Senior Class • The University of Minnesota Crookston will have 10 seniors play their final games as Golden Eagles this weekend. The Golden Eagle senior class is led in seniority by five-year member Keith McBride (RB, Lodi, Wis.). The class also includes four-year players Freedom McCullough (DB, Los Angeles, Calif.) Joshua Perea (DB, Pico Rivera, Calif.), Andrew Steinfeldt (RB, Green Bay, Wis.), Jonique Andrews (DL, Oakland, Calif.) and Nataki Morris (DB, Orlando, Fla.). In addition, threeyear member Tevin Kellum (DB, Detroit, Mich.) has been a staple for the Golden Eagles. Two-year transfers Ricky Jacobs (LB, Junction City, Kan.), Paul Webster (DB, Opa-Locka, Fla.) and Tyler Bos (DL, Larchwood, Iowa) round out the Golden Eagle class. Running For Records • UMC senior running back Keith McBride (Sr., RB, Lodi, Wis./Management) is etching his name in the record books for his career as he currently ranks fifth all-time at UMC for rushing yards with 2,136 yards and needs just 154 rushing yards to move past Derrick Sanders in fourth place. In addition, McBride is third all-time in rushing attempts with 530. He needs just 14 carries to move past Richard Haley in second place. In addition, McBride ranks fourth all-time for rushing touchdowns with 15 and needs just two to move past Derrick Sanders in third place. Chasing Three • The Golden Eagles will be chasing their third win this weekend. If the Golden Eagles are able to get three or more wins this season it will mark the first time since 2001 when the Golden Eagles picked up four wins on the season. UMC has already won four NSIC games in the last two seasons, which is the most wins the Golden Eagles have had in back-to-back seasons since 2000 and 2001
