THE northern sun intercollegiate conference From its modest origin as a six-team alliance 85 years ago, the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference has matured into a 16-team union of upper Midwest colleges and universities to form arguably the strongest affiliation in NCAA Division II sports. The NSIC can trace its roots to 1932 when six schools, including Bemidji State University, Minnesota State UniversityMankato, Minnesota State University-Moorhead, St. Cloud State University, the University of Minnesota Duluth and Winona State University signed on as charter members. All remain active subscribers of the league today. Southwest Minnesota State University was added in 1969, followed by Northern State University in 1978, Wayne State College (Neb.) in 1998, Concordia University-St. Paul and the University of Minnesota-Crookston in 1999, the University of Mary and Upper Iowa University in 2006, and Augustana College in 2008. Minnesota State-Mankato, St. Cloud State and UMD later left the league to join the North Central Conference (all at different times) but returned to their NSIC roots in 2008. In 2012-13, the NSIC expanded by two with the addition of Minot State University and the University of Sioux Falls (The University of Minnesota-Morris and Michigan Tech University were once part of the NSIC family as well). In 1992, the NSIC became a true athletic showcase for both men and women with the merger of the traditional Northern Intercollegiate Conference and the Northern Sun Conference, the home of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletics since 1979. Before all of the NSIC affiliates became certified for championship competition in the NCAA in 1995, its member institutions filled prominent roles in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). NIC and NSC clubs

annually dispatched scores of student-athletes to national tournaments and captured several NAIA team and individual title. The NSIC celebrates its 86th season of competition this year and clearly continues to make a major imprint nationally, winning an impressive 18 national team titles since 2006 -including a pair of football championships by UMD in 2008 and 2010. The Bulldogs accomplished that feat in historic fashion, becoming the first NCAA II team ever to go a perfect 15-0 in a season twice. In addition, NSIC student-athletes have made quite a splash on the national scene. Among those are a pair of UMD outside hitters -- Vicky Braegelmann, a two-time AVCA National Player of the Year who, in 2007-08, was bestowed with NCAA Division II Honda Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Athlete of the Year Award, and Kate Lange, the 2013 AVCA Player of the Year -- as well as 2012 Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year Award winner Garth Heikkinen. The NSIC has long provided competitive intercollegiate athletic programs for its members and several conference athletes have distinguished themselves on a larger stage such as the Olympics, Major League Baseball, the National Football League and the National Basketball Association.

james s. malosky stadium Northern Minnesota’s premier outdoor athletic venue, James S. Malosky Stadium has been the home of UMD football for five decades. And, the Bulldogs have certainly taken advantage of their home turf during that time. In 258 lifetime appearances at Malosky Stadium heading into the 2016 season, the Bulldogs have posted a 200-54-4 overall record for .783 winning percentage. Since the start of the 2008 season, UMD is an eye-popping 43-2 in Duluth and will enter the 2017 riding a school-record 22-game winning streak. And talk about consistency. Only five times has UMD ever failed to produce a .500 or above mark at the oncampus facility, which is named after legendary Bulldog football coach Jim Malosky and opened on Oct. 29, 1966. In 2008, a $6.5 million, four-level structure, which includes a concession area, spacious club room and press/ broadcast facilities, was added to the grandstand. The following year, a new $325,000 scoreboard, 48’ x 33’ in size, debuted in the north end zone and now contains a 12’ x 22’ LED videoscreen. One year ago, new artificial turf was installed at Malosky Stadium and this past summer the running track surrounding that playing field was completely redone. In addition to housing the football, women’s soccer and track and field Bulldogs, the 4,500-seat Malosky Stadium also hosts a number of high school athletic events throughout the year as well as various UMD intramural activities.

HEAD COACH (FIFTH SEASON)

• Liberty Mutual NCAA II Coach of the Year (2013) A 43-8 record.Four Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference North Division titles. Three NCAA Division II playoff appearances. One overall NSIC championship. One perfect 11-0 regular season. An .843 winning percentage. That, for starters, is what Curt Wiese has already accomplished since taking over as UMD’s sixth head football coach on Dec. 21, 2012. He’s also helped produce 17 different All-Americans and 27 All-NSIC first team selections while his Bulldogs have earned NSIC All-Academic status 55 times. One of those was offensive lineman Andrew Pattock, who as a senior in 2013 was named a first team CoSIDA Academic All-American). In addition, during Wiese’s head coaching tenure UMD has racked up a victory total unsurpassed by all but five NCAA II clubs in the entire country. Last fall, his Bulldogs reeled off 10 straight victories following a setback in the season opener and wound up going 10-2. Along the way they upped their home winning streak to a school-record 22 games, returned to the NCAA II playoffs after a brief, one-year absence, and occupied the No. 13 spot in the final AFCA II poll. One year earlier, UMD capped off a 9-3 season by defeating Fort Hayes State University 30-22 in the Mineral Water Bowl and in 2014 rolled up a 13-1 overall record (the third most wins in program history) and captured a share of its league-record 19th NSIC crown after going 11-0 in league play. That was in addition to advancing to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA II playoffs and ending up at No. 3 spot in the final AFCA II poll.That followed up Wiese’s rookie-go-around that included an 11-2 mark in all games and a No. 8 final AFCA II poll ranking. For his exemplary efforts in 2013, Wiese was selected the Liberty Mutual Coach of theYearAward winner for Division II,a prestigious honor recognizing coaches for their responsibility, integrity, sportsmanship and excellence, on and off the field. Wiese was elevated to the UMD head coaching position after spending the previous five years overseeing offenses that moved the football with as much proficiency as any in NCAA II ranks. During Wiese’s successful run as the team’s offensive coordinator, the Bulldogs finished near the top of the NCAA II leader board four times in scoring (third in 2012 with a school-record 46.5 points per game average, fifth in 2008, sixth in 2010 and ninth in 2009) and in 2012 possessed the nation’s seventh best rushing attack (after ranking seventh, fourth, and third, respectively, in that department the previous three seasons). The 2012 Bulldogs were also the nation’s leader in third down conversions (54.8 percent). In addition, no less than 15 of his pupils landed some kind of All-American recognition, including a pair of Harlon Hill Award finalists -- quarterback Ted Schlafke

(2008), the school’s career passing and total offense leader, and running back Isaac Odim (2009), UMD’s No. 1 all-time ground gainer and scorer and the holder of 17 school records. In addition, his starting offensive guard from 2009-12, Garth Heikkinen, became the school’s first recipient of the Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year of Award and earned a playing spot in the annual East-West Shrine Game in January 2013 while offensive tackle Jake Bscherer participated in the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings Training Camps later that year. SinceWiese’s arrival at UMD in February 2008,the Bulldogs have generated both the second most victories (they are 105-15) and winning percentage (.875) in the nation while capturing two NCAA II national championships (2008 and 2010) and six NSIC titles (2008-12 and 2014) and posting two perfect 15-0 seasons. Wiese came to UMD following two years of employment as the head coach at NCAA Division III member Marietta College (Ohio). He compiled a 9-11 career overall record with the Pioneers, including a 6-4 mark in 2006. The Stoughton,Wis.,native signed on with the Marietta football program in 2003 when he became the team’s offensive coordinator -- a duty he continued to maintain after he was elevated to head coach. In five years of directing the Marietta offense, Wiese helped churn out two All-Americans, 12 All-Ohio Athletic Conference selections and five Academic All-OAC honorees and was a finalist for the American Football Coaches Association Division III Assistant Coach of the Year Award in 2004. Prior to his move to Marietta, Wiese worked as a graduate assistant at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, tutoring the tight ends for two years and the offensive line for one season. He entered the coaching arena a little over a dozen seasons ago on the heels of a four-year collegiate playing career. After three seasons at Minnesota State University-Mankato (1995-97),Wiese transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, where as a senior in 1998, he quarterbacked the Pointers to a share of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title. Wiese, one of 10 head coaches from across the nation who were up for the 2016 Allstate Insurance Good Works Team, graduated from Minnesota State-Mankato in 2000 with a B.A. degree in technology education and received a Master’s degree in educational professional development from Wisconsin-Eau Claire two years later. He and his wife, Jenny, have three daughters -- Alexis, Makenna and Brooke -- and make their home in Hermantown. graduated from Minnesota State-Mankato in 2000 with a B.A. degree in technology education and received a Master’s degree in educational professional development from Wisconsin-Eau Claire two years later.

The senior member of the UMD football family, John Steger embarks on his 17th season -- in his second tour of duty -- as the Bulldogs’ defensive coordinator in 2017. He first thrived in that role for 11 years before departing in 2009 for Southern Illinois University, where he served as the Salukis’ inside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator for a pair of years, prior to returning to the Bulldog fold. Under Steger’s expert watch, UMD has consistently finished among the league leaders in a number of defensive statistical categories. That includes in 2016 when the Bulldogs topped the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference -- and were 11th nationally -- in rushing defense (94.9 yards per game) and the previous fall when UMD reigned as the NSIC leader in passing defense (162.1 yards per game) and pass efficiency defense (95.41 - the third best figure in the country). On a national scale, UMD has also earned plenty of defensive notice both as a team and individually. Four years ago, for example, the Bulldogs ranked fourth among all NCAA II institutions in total defense (281.9 yards per game) and were fifth in rushing defense (77.6 ypg). In 2008, Steger was chosen as a footballscoop.com NCAA Coordinator of the Year Award finalist after the Bulldogs allowed just four defensive touchdowns over the course of their four-game NCAA II national title run. During his 16 years at UMD, he has helped produce 14 All-Americans and 37 All-NSIC/North Central Conference first team selections. Steger joined the UMD football program in 1999 after working the previous 11 seasons as a defensive coordinator at two NCAA III schools. He served a seven-year stint at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and in his final year there, the Blugolds topped the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in total defense, rushing defense, and scoring defense. For his efforts, the Wisconsin High School Coaches Association chose him as their 1998 College Assistant Coach of the Year. Steger began his coaching career at Sul Ross State University where, for four seasons (198891), he was employed as the Lobo’s defensive coordinator after doing two years of graduate assistantship duty at that Texas institution. A native of Dubuque, Iowa, Steger started a pair of seasons at linebacker while attending Loras College (Iowa) and co-captained the Duhawks as a senior in 1984. Steger received a B.A. degree in both physical education and business from Loras College in 1985 and a Master’s degree in education from Sul Ross State three years later. He and his wife, Barb, make their home in Duluth.

Noah Pauley OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR Noah Pauley certainly made his first year as UMD’s offensive coordinator a memorable one. Pauley, a Bulldog football alumnus, sat at the controls of a UMD offense that rolled up the second-most yards (536.7 per game) and sixth-most points (45.1 per game -- the second highest figure in program history) of any NCAA II club in the country last fall. His Bulldogs also ranked fourth in the country in third down conversion efficiency (52.2 percent), fourth in first downs (326), 13th in rushing yards (233.4 ypg) and 14th in passing yards (303.3 ypg). A native of Duluth, Pauley took over the offensive coordinator position at his alma mater on Feb. 8, 2016. He had spent three prior seasons as a member of the Bulldog coaching staff after closing out a rewarding playing career, From 2013-14, Pauley was a graduate assistant coach, overseeing UMD’s wide receivers, a unit that included All-American Aaron Roth and Zach Zweifel, the fourth leading all-time catch leader in Bulldog history. He joined the UMD coaching staff as a student assistant in the spring of 2011 -- a few months after he hung up his collegiate spikes. In 47 career outings, the former Duluth Central High School three-sport star hauled in 100 passes for 1,108 yards and nine touchdowns. He made his final catch as a Bulldog in UMD’s NCAA II quarterfinal round victory over Augustana College on Dec. 4, 2010 – and suffered a season-ending clavicle injury that same afternoon, forcing him to take in the national championship game two weeks later from the sidelines. After cutting his collegiate teeth as a true freshman in 2007, Pauley proceeded to pace the Bulldogs in both punt and kick returns the following season when they captured their second NCAA II crown in two years. Pauley, who was the assistant dean of students and athletic director at Duluth’s Edison’s North Star Academy in prior to rejoining the Bulldog family, earned both a B.S. degree in criminology (2012) and a Master’s degree in education (2014) from UMD. He and his wife, Hannah, reside in Duluth with their daughter, Ada.

BULLDOG COACHING STAFF peter lue OFFENSIVE LINE COACH The play of UMD’s offensive interior falls under the domain of Peter Lue, who has skillfully handled that key responsibility the past 11 years while working under three different head coaches (Curt Wiese, Bob Nielson and Kyle “Bubba” Schweigert During his decade-plus of service with the Bulldogs, Lue has had a hand in mentoring no less than 22 All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference North Division and/or All-North Central Conference selections. Among those was Garth Heikkinen, UMD’s first four-time All-Conference honoree and the recipient of the 2012 Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year Award. Heikkinen also earned All-American first or second team distinction from six different groups as a senior and four the previous year. Another one of Lue’s disciples, Andrew Muer bettered that feat in 2014 by being selected to seven All-American teams and, like Heikkinen, was the recipient of UMD’s Outstanding Senior Athlete Award. Last fall, Peter Bateman earned his fourth All-NSIC citation, made four All-American

teams and received the Bobby Bell College Impact Player of the Year Award from the Minnesota Chapter of the National Football Foundation -- the first offensive lineman to be so honored. Baier, Bateman, Cady, Lemke and Olson all secured All-American first team status during their respective senior seasons as well. Lue, who is in charge of UMD’s Big Dog and youth football camps and clinics and helps oversee the Bulldogs’ extensive community service activities, served a four-year assistant coaching hitch (offensive line) at La Salle University in Philadelphia, Pa., and in 2005 was promoted to director of football operations at that NCAA I-AA institution. He enlisted with the Explorer staff in 2002, fresh off two seasons of duty as William Paterson University’s line coach and special teams coordinator. From 1996-1999, he was employed in that same capacity at Parsippany Hills (N.J.) High School. A defensive lineman at Rowan University (N.J.) from 1992-95, Lue and the Profs advanced to a pair of NCAA Division III championship game appearances (1993 and 1995). L A native of Parsippany, N.J., Lue graduated from Rowan U. in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. He and his wife, Dr. Marsha Francis, make their home in Duluth.

greg bower SPECIAL TEAMS COORDINATOR & DEFENSIVE BACKS COACH Greg Bower will begin his fifth year with the UMD football staff in 2017, having taken over as the team’s special teams coordinator and defensive secondary coach on Jan. 14, 2013. In his three seasons with the Bulldogs, he has mentored a half dozen All-NSIC defensive honorees in free safety David Boegel (2015 and 2014), cornerbacks Kenny Chowa (2013) and Darion Fletcher (2015 and 2014) and strong safeties Sam Lynch (2016), Hunter Malberg (2014) and Travis Nordhus (2013) as well as placekicker/punter Andrew Brees (2015, 2014 and 2013) and return specialist Beau Bofferding (2016). In 2016, the Bowers’ kick return brigade averaged 25.98 yards per return -- the second best mark in NCAA II football. Bower had spent the previous five years handling the defensive coordinator role at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. In 2013, the Falcon defense racked up 80 tackles for loss, including 30 sacks, 30 pass breakups, and 12 fumble recoveries -- all highs under Bower’s watch. They also came away with 14 interceptions, equaling the 2008 club’s efforts.

Before enlisting his services at UW-River Falls, the 45-year old Bower was employed as an assistant coach for eight seasons at Northern Illinois University, a member of NCAA FBS (Division IA) ranks. He coached the Huskies’ tight ends from 2004-07 and the defensive tackles from 2002-03 after spending a pair of seasons in a graduate assistant role (2000-01). Bower got his coaching start at his alma mater, Loras College, where he served as the defensive coordinator during the last four of his seven seasons at that Iowa-based institution (he was a full-time linebacker coach and graduate assistant before that). During his time at Loras (1993-99), the Duhawks posted five .500 or better seasons and produced seven All-Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) defensive performers, including a pair of first team selections. Bower, who was born in Monroe, Wis., lettered four years at Loras from 1989-92 and started at linebacker for the Duhawks as a junior and senior. He had a hand in 147 career tackles and was an integral part of the IIAC’s No. 2-ranked defense in both 1989 and 1990. A 1989 graduate of Orangeville (Ill.) High School, Bower earned his B.A. degree in history from Loras in 1993 as well as his Master’s degree in physical education in 2001. He and his wife, Liz, have three children -- son Brett and daughters Faith and Grace -- and reside in Proctor, Minn.

trey dill DEFENSIVE LINE COACH The 2017 season marks Trey Dill’s seventh year at UMD where he’ll once again supervise the Bulldogs’ first line of defense as well as their overall recruiting efforts. Over the last six seasons, he’s worked with the likes of twotime All-NSIC selections Jonathan Harden (a 2015 USA College Football All-American), Karl Finkel, Chris Vandervest, Buma Foncham and Jacob Brusehaver.

C.J. Robertson TIGHT ENDS

C.J. Robertson is in his second year of graduate assistant coaching duty, specifically working with the Bulldog tight ends. He signed on with Bulldogs in the winter of 2016, having spent the previous four years serving as an assistant coach Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, Ill.. A Neuqua Valley High School alumnus, Robertson oversaw the team’s defensive linemen,linebackers and special teams.During Robertson’s four-season stay,theWildcats went 38-9 overall during his four-year stay and made it the the state semifinals in 2012 and the quarterfinals one year later. He joined the coaching ranks shortly after putting the finishing touches on his collegiate playing career at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, where he was a three-year starting tight end (2009-11). Current UMD defensive coordinator Jon Steger was a Salukis assistant coach when Robertson was a sophomore and junior. That 2009 club advanced to the semifinal round of the NCAA FCS playoffs and ranked sixth in the final American Football Coaches Association poll. Robertson, who is currently pursuing a Master’s of Education degree at UMD, attained B.S. degrees in both marketing and management from Southern Illinois in 2012.

The newest member of the UMD football staff, Sam King makes his graduate assistant coach debut in 2017 and will work with the UMD running backs. For the past two seasons, King was the offensive quality control coach at the University of North Dakota where he worked under head coach Kyle “Bubba” Schweigert (who served as UMD’s head coach from 2004-07) and the his 2016 Big Sky Conference Fighting Hawks. Born and raised in Grand Forks, N.D., (and a Central High School alumnus), King was a four-time football letterman (2011-14) at Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference rival Bemidji State University where bided his time as a reserve quarterback and -- during his farewell collegiate season -- the Beavers’ primary placekicking holder. He graduated from Bemidji State in 2015 with a B.S. degree in physical education.

He also picked off one pass and recovered one fumble along the way en route to securing All-NSIC North Division second team honors. For his career, the 2015 Bulldog team captain had 174 tackles in 46 lifetime appearances. Prior to joining the Bulldog football family, Stiglich starred for three seasons at Medford High School and established program records for both tackles in one season (153 as senior in 2010) and in career (342 He graduated from UMD in May 2015 with a B.A. degree in psychology and is in his second year in the Master’s of Education program.

this is bulldog football

“Duluth State Teachers College had its first team in 1930, and 28 players responded to Coach Kovach’s call...” So records the 1930-31 yearbook, The Chronicle, depicting the origins of Bulldog football when the University of Minnesota Duluth wasn’t the University of Minnesota Duluth at all, but rather the Duluth State Teachers College (DSTC). “Coach Kovach,” a.k.a. Frank Kovach, an industrial arts specialist organized and coached the first team that would later evolve into one of the most successful college programs in the land. Appropriately enough, Kovach directed his troops to a winless season as the Bulldogs debuted in 1930 with two ties — a scoreless deadlock against Itasca Junior College, and a 6-6 verdict versus Duluth Junior College — and three losses in their only five outings. Following Kovach’s baptismal year, he yielded the coaching gavel to Lloyd Peterson in 1931, beginning an era that would continue through the 1957 season. Peterson’s (and DSTC’S) first victory ever came in the second tilt of the season against Winona State Teacher’s College, a 7-0 whitewash. In 1932, the Bulldogs were jammed in a four-way tie for first place in the Northern Intercollegiate Conference, their initial taste of championship football, and in 1934 DSTC captured its first outright title. The latter part of the 1930s was one of the more fruitful periods in Bulldog history. From 1934 to 1939, DSTC constructed a 31-7-2 record with championships again in 1937 and 1938. The pre-World War II days found the Bulldogs’ football program struggling and 1941 produced the worst campaign in the school’s history to that point with a 1-6 record. When world peace was restored, however, the Bulldogs made a quick comeback as they tied for the NIC crown in 1946 and again in 1948. The Bulldogs played an independent schedule in 1949 and traded in their

green and gold colors in 1950 to become the Maroon & Gold of the University of Minnesota Duluth. The newly-named UMD then aligned with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) in 1950. The 1951 season boiled down to a showdown between the Bulldogs and Gustavus Adolphus, and, in 17-degree wintry weather, the Gusties stopped the Bulldogs’ drive to bring home their first MIAC championship.The following season was the most disastrous year UMD has ever experienced as it suffered through an 0-7-1 record. The mid-1950s were a period for slowly refueling the program with respectability. In 1957 Peterson stepped down after 24 years of skilling shepherding the Bulldogs. His replacement was a Crosby-Ironton native who had worked wonders at Morris and Morningside (Edina) High Schools — Jim Malosky — and within three years, the Bulldogs had earned a MIAC crown. UMD successfully defended its title in 1961, but the program slumped again in the mid-1960s with three successive sub.500 seasons.The Bulldogs were nosed out for the crown in 1967, despited cobbling together a nifty 7-1-1 record, but again fell below the .500 mark in 1968 and 1969. After nearly a 30-year absence, UMD rejoined the Northern (Sun) Intercollegiate Conference in 1976. Over the next 28 years, the Bulldogs would suffer just one losing season in conference play while amassing a 196-95-5 record en route to capturing nine NSIC championships. The first of those crowns came in 1979 when UMD won its final five league matchups of the year (including a convincing 34-8 home win over Minnesota State University-Moorhead) to claim a share

of the NSIC title with MSU-Moorhead. The following year, the Bulldogs did what no UMD outfif had ever done before — finished a season unbeaten and untied — as it posted a perfect 10-0-0 overall record while leading all NCAA II teams in both scoring offense (35.4 points per game) and scoring defense (7.6 ppg). By October 1981, UMD had strung together a 20-game winning streak, which at the time was the longest in all of college football. Then, on Halloween of that year, MSU-Moorhead knocked the Bulldogs from the ranks of the unbeatens, stunning the overflow record-crowd of 5,862 at Griggs Field with a 29-0 victory. UMD went on to finish the season sporting a 9-1-0 mark in all games and placed second to (who else?) MSU-Moorhead in the league standings. The Bulldogs returned to the top of the NSIC heap in 1985 by reeling off seven straight wins to end the year, and also laid claim to conference crowns in 1990, 1995 and 1996. The 1997 season marked the end of a truly golden era for Bulldog football. Due to health concerns, the legendary Jim Malosky was forced to retire following a memorable 40year coaching run at UMD. The winningest coach in NCAA Division II football history at the time, Malosky just seemed to get better with age as his troops finished below the .500 mark on only two occasions during his final 28 seasons. Upon Malosky’s departure, UMD floundered somewhat until the dawn of a new century. Bob Nielson’s arrival as head coach in 1999 signaled a resurgence and, in 2001, Nielson and the Bulldogs posted a 9-3-0 overall mark, the most victories in a season for UMD since 1990. The Bulldogs, who fell just short of an NSIC crown for the second straight season, made the school’s first-ever postseason appearance by taking part in the 37th Mineral Water Bowl in Excelsior Springs, Mo., against Central Missouri State University. One season later, in 2002, the Bulldogs enjoyed one of their most productive seasons in team history to that point, going a perfect 11-0 during the regular season (including a 9-0 mark in NSIC play when it averaged a league-record 47.9 points per outing) and earning their inaugural berth in the NCAA II playoffs. UMD, which set or equalled 59 team and individual records during the course of the year and were

this is bulldog football NSIC champs for the first time in a half dozen years, suffered a 45-41 last-second road setback to Northwest Missouri State University in its NCAA playoff debut. UMD continued its victorious ways in 2003, posting an 8-3 overall mark.A Nov. 15 game against Winona State was to be the Bulldogs’ temporary farewell to the NSIC following 42 years of affiliation split by 26 seasons in the MIAC. After five years on the Bulldog sidelines, Nielson traded in his headset on December 1, 2003 to take over as UMD’s Director of Athletics. One of Nielson’s first major moves was to hire his successor. Looking west, he found his man in Kyle “Bubba” Schweigert, who had paid his dues the previous 15 years as highly-regarded assistant coach at the University of North Dakota. Schweigert piloted the Bulldogs through their inaugural go-around of North Central Conference activity five years ago, but it didn’t take long for his troops to settle into their new digs. UMD used a relentless and a record-breaking air attack to tie for the 2005 NCC crown and qualify for NCAA II postseason play for the second time in four years. Schweigert stepped down as head coach after the 2007 season (the final year of competition for the historic NCC) and his replacement was also his predecessor, Bob Nielson. In his first year back at the controls, Nielson proceeded to marshal the Bulldogs through a season for the ages, claiming the school’s first NCAA II title in any sport and going a perfect 15-0. UMD, which amassed a 10-0 record in NSIC play -- a league first , capped off the 2008 season with a 21-14 triumph over Northwest Missouri State in the NCAA II championship in Florence, Ala. Two weeks earlier, the Bulldogs posted what is arguably the most momentuous victory in UMD athletic history by derailing perennial NCAA II powerhouse Grand Valley State University 19-13 in overtime. That win came on the road over a team which had, at the time, gone 51-1 and won two NCAA II championships during the past four years.Although it wasn’t able to successfully defend their national title the following fall, UMD still managed to advance to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA II playoffs and walk off with its second straight outright NSIC crown. But it didn’t take long for the Bulldogs to regain their national championship touch. In 2010, just 24 months removed from capturing the school’s first NCAA II crown in any sport, UMD cobbled together

another remarkable 15-0 run. Despite being without the services of four key members of its opening day starting cast on offense -- including three-time All-American running back Isaac Odim (who suffered a seasonending knee injury six weeks in), UMD stll managed to walk out of Florence with another NCAA II title trophy in tow, thanks in part to a defense which allowed just 12.7 points per outing during the year -- a figure unmatched by any club in the nation.What’s more, the Bulldogs became the first team in NCAA II history to finish 15-0 in more than one season and just the eighth school to have been crowned champion more than once. Although the Bulldogs were unable to retain the NCAA II title belt in 2011, they did manage to capture a share of their schoolrecord fourth NSIC crown in a row and rolled up 31 consecutive conference victories (four shy of the league record) before succumbing on the road to Wayne State College (Neb.) in week three of the season. UMD also secured

its fourth NCAA II playoff berth in as many years and, and, in the second round, toppled No. 1-ranked and undefeated Colorado State University-Pueblo 24-21 on the road before falling 31-25 to visiting Wayne State University(Mich.) in the quarterfinals the ensuing week.The 2012 season would turn out to be Nielson’s final go-around at UMD as he resigned in late December to assume the head coaching position at Western Illinois University. That was a little over a month after his Bulldogs won a fifth successive NSIC North Division title (they were second in the overall league standings) and participated in NCAA II postseason play for a fifth straight time. Curt Weise, who was Nielson’s trusty and talented offensive coordinator for five years, was promoted to the head job in late December 2012 and picked up right where his predecessor left off, directing UMD to an 11-2 record during his debut season. For an encore the next fall, the 2013 Liberty Mutual Division II Coach of the Year and the Bulldogs went 13-1 (which was the third most single-seasons wins in team history), corralled their school-record 19th

NSIC championship and made a seventh straight trip to the NCAA II playoffs. After a one-year absence from NCAA II postseason play in 2015 (but a season-ending Mineral Water Bowl win over Fort Hays State), the Bulldogs returned to the national event (for the eighth time in nine years) in 2016 and locked up their ninth NSIC North Division title in as many tries. UMD has harvested several outstanding players throughout its rich 84-year history including halfbacks Ted McKnight (the 1976 NCAA II rushing leader), Dick Pesonen and Lou Barle, end Tom Adams, offensive tackle Vern Emerson, and defensive tackle Dave Viaene -- all of whom did time in the National Football League. Another Bulldog product, the late Dan Devine, gained national recognition as a respected collegiate and professional coach. Devine, who captained and quarterbacked UMD in 1947, went on to enjoy prosperous head coaching stays at the University of Missouri, the University of Notre Dame (where he won a national championship) and the Green Bay Packers. Most recently, outside linebacker Russ Rabe, UMD’s all-time quarterback sack leader, joined the school’s legends by signing a free agent contract with the New Orleans Saints in April 2005 before going on suit up for the NFL Europe’s Hamburg Sea Devils the next summer. In addition, quarterback Ted Schlafke distinguished himself following a brilliant four-year collegiate stay in 2008 by becoming the first Bulldog to land a spot on the American Football Coaches Association All-American team as well as the first to be a Harlon Hill Award (most outstanding player in NCAA) quarter finalist. Odim repeated that Harlon Hill feat one year later while landing on five separate All-American teams. The school’s only three-year football All-American (2008-10), Odim exited UMD owning no less than 17 team single-game, single-season and lifetime records and, in the summer of 2011, strutted his stuff with the San Diego Chargers of the NFL during the preseason as a free agent. Five years ago, offensive guard Garth Heikkinen, who started in a school-record 54 consecutive games, was bestowed with the Gene Upshaw Division II National Lineman of the Year Award (a UMD first) and in 2014, Heikkinen’s one-time linemate, left guard Andrew Muer, became the first Bulldog to be named to seven different All-American teams (one more than Heikkinen).

UMD vs. Northwest Missouri State - Dec. 13 (Florence, Ala.) Yes, defense still wins championships and for the University of Minnesota Duluth that meant claiming the most consequential title NCAA Division II football has to offer. The Bulldogs, buoyed by a defensive unit which has been nothing short of stifling all year long, put a huge exclamation mark on a season for the ages by holding off No. 3 Northwest Missouri State University 21-14 in the NCAA II championship. UMD finished the year a perfect 15-0 -- one of only three NCAA II schools to ever reach that mark. “All I can say is ‘wow,’” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson. “The kind of win we had today really speaks to the character of our football team. They never give up and are always supportive of one another, no matter what the circumstances. Today’s game is simply a great ending to a great, great year.” For the 14th time in 15 games this season, No. 6 UMD got on the scoreboard first when senior wide receiver Tony Doherty hauled in a 38-yard touchdown catch from senior All-American quarterback Ted Schlafke with 14 seconds remaining in the opening half. The Bulldogs extended their lead to 14-0 midway though the third quarter on a Schalfke-to-Isaac Odim scoring strike from five yards out before Odim made it 21-0 a liitle more than a minute into the fourth quarter by plowing ahead for his school-record 30th overall touchdown this fall. Northwest Missouri added a pair of scores in the last eight minutes of regulation – a 44-yard interception return by Aldwin Foster-Rettig and a one-yard touchdown reception by Ralphael Robinson to pull to within seven. But, on the ensuing kickoff following Robinson’s touchdown, Northwest Missouri State attempted an on-side kick which was smothered by Bulldog senior Luke Schalekamp sealing UMD’s first NCAA II championship in any sport. “That touchdown just before halftime was a big momentum builder for us,” said Schlafke. “We managed the clock pretty well (by driving 75 yards on six plays in just 1:03) and the TD was on a route we actually haven’t thrown all year.” Northwest Missouri State (12-2), competing in its fourth consecutive NCAA II title game, managed just 106 yards on the ground (on 32 carries) and coughed the ball up on four occasions – two fumbles and two interceptions. The quarterbacking tandem of Joel Osborn and Blake Bolles combined for 189 yards while completing 18 of 30 passes, but were also sacked six times – twice by seniors Ben SCORING SUMMARY Loth and Drew Fautsch.

UMD vs. delta State - Dec. 18 (Florence, Ala.) David Nadeau, by his own admission, has had better kicks during his three years at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, but none have been more important than the one he booted early Saturday afternoon in Florence, Ala. The junior placekicker put an exclamation point on a perfect season for the Bulldogs by nailing a 32-yard field goal as time expired, sending UMD to a 20-17 victory over Delta State University in the NCAA Division II championship game. “When it came off of my foot, I knew it would be close,” said Nadeau. “It wasn’t the best kick I ever hit before by any means, but when I saw it going up, I knew then it was going in so I just turned around and ran.” With the win, No. 1 UMD not only took home a second national championship but became the first NCAA II club ever to go 15-0 in a season more than once, duplicating the mark turned in by the 2008 Bulldogs on their way to the school’s first NCAA II crown of any kind. “What a great game,” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson. “It was one of those days when both teams had an opportunity to win. We just kept plugging away and believing and when you do that, good things usually happen.” UMD, which was meeting Delta State for the first time ever, struck first by getting a 32-yard field goal from Nadeau four minutes in, eight plays after junior Zach Hulce brought back the opening kickoff 47 yards on his first return as a Bulldog. Freshman Joe Reichert recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff at the Delta State 34-yard line, but UMD was unable to capitalize -- instead giving the ball back to the Statesmen deep in Bulldog territory after Alex Miller’s punt was blocked (for the first time this season) following a muffed snap and returned to the UMD 11. Three snaps later , Micah Davis and Maurice Moore hooked up on an eight-yard scoring strike to give the Statesmen a 7-3 lead. The Bulldogs answered on their next series as junior quarterback Chase Vogler found a wide open Ben Helmer in the end zone from 14 yards. One possession after the Statesmen were snuffed by the Bulldogs on a fourth-and-goal situation at the UMD two, Davis hit Chance Davis with a 16-yard touchdown pass and Delta State went into the half up 14-10. The Bulldogs regained the lead with 8:20 to go in regulation when senior running back Brad Foss rumbled 12 yards for his 12th touchdown of the season. Delta State knotted the game at the 2:22 mark of the fourth quarter on Matt Snyder’s 27-yard field goal after they were unable to punch the ball in on three tries from within the Bulldog two-yard line. It was another example of the bend-but-don’t break defense which has been a trademark of UMD all season long. “I thought we executed extremely well in the red zone today, particuSCORING SUMMARY larly in third and fourth down situDelta State 7 7 0 3 -- 17 Braly Stadium ations,” said Nielson, “We got some UMD 10 0 0 10 -- 20 Attendance: 4,027 penetration at critical times when we needed to SCORING SUMMARY TEAM STATS DSU UMD UMD- (1st) Nadaeu 32-yd FG First Downs 20 19 Sophomore free safety Cameron DSU- (1st) Moore 8-yd pass from Rushes/yds 31/106 52/240 Harper spearheaded a Bulldog Davis (Snyder kick) Passing yds 240 118 defensive unit which forced four UMD (1st) Helmer 14-yd pass Total Plays/yds 66/346 71/358 turnovers (three fumbles and an from Vogler (Nadeau kick) Att-Comp-Int 35-24-1 19-11-0 interception by junior strong safety DSU- (2nd) Castile 28-yd pass Fumbles-lost 3-3 1-1 Cody Eich which eventually led to from Davis (Snyder kick) Penalties/yds 7/40 3/34 Nadeau’s last-second field goal), UMD- (4th) Foss 12-yd run (Nadeau kick) 3rd Down Conv. 4/12 2/13 finishing the afternoon with 17 toDSU (4th) Snyder 27-yd FG Poss.
