THE NORTHERN SUN INTERCOLLEGIATE CONFERENCE From its modest origin as a six-team alliance 80 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 University-Mankato, 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 but returned to their NSIC roots in 2008. The University of Minnesota-Morris and Michigan Tech University were once part of the NSIC family as well. In 2012-13, the NSIC expanded by two with the addition of Minot State University and the University of Sioux Falls, 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).

#No longer members of the NSIC

NIC and NSC clubs annually dispatched qualified student-athletes to national tournaments and captured several NAIA team and individual title. The NSIC celebrates its 82nd season of competition this year and clearly continues to make a major imprint nationally, winning an impressive 12 national 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 as well, collecting a host of individual honors. Among those is UMD outside hitter 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. 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 close to five decades. And, the Bulldogs have certainly taken advantage of their home turf during that time. In 234 lifetime appearances at Malosky Stadium heading into the 2013 season, the Bulldogs have posted a 177-53-4 overall football record for .765 winning percentage. Only five times has UMD ever failed to produce a .500 or above mark at the on-campus facility, which is named after legendary Bulldog football coach Jim Malosky and opened on Oct. 29, 1966. Five summers ago, 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, was added to the north end zone and now contains a 12’ x 22’ LED videoscreen. In 1999, Malosky Stadium underwent a $1.6 million facelift, complete with the installation of a new football playing surface -- which was replaced five years later with A-Turf -- along with an eightlane, all-weather track. In addition to housing the football, women’s soccer and track and field Bulldogs, the 4,500seat Malosky Stadium also hosts a number of high school athletic events throughout the year as well as various UMD intramural activities.

HEAD COACH CURT WIESE After spending the last five years overseeing offensive units which moved the football with as much proficiency as any NCAA II team in the country, Curt Wiese received a much-deserved promotion on Dec. 21, 2012 when he became the sixth head coach in the University of Minnesota Duluth’s storied 81-year history. During his successful five-season run as the team’s offensive coordinator, the Bulldogs finished near the top of the NCAA II leader board four times in scoring (third this past fall with a school-record 46.5 points per game average, fifth in 2008, sixth in 2010 and ninth four years ago) and last year 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 all-time top ground gainer and scorer and the holder of 17 school records. In addition, his starting offensive guard over the past four years, 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 last January while offensive tackle Jake Bscherer participated in the Seattle Seahawks Training Camp this past summer. Since Wiese’s arrival at UMD in February 2008, the Bulldogs have gone 62-7 (a record unmatched by any NCAA II school), captured two NCAA II national championships (2008 and 2010), four overall Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference titles and five NSIC North Division crowns, made five NCAA II playoff appearances and produced

“Since coming to UMD, I’ve had the chance to grow professionally, coach an outstanding group of studentathletes, and be part of a program that has enjoyed a tremendous amount of success both on and off the football field. It is my hope to continue this tradition of excellence and reach even greater heights.”

two perfect 15-0 seasons. Wiese, 37, 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 decade 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 graduated from Minnesota StateMankato 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

BULLDOG ASSISTANT COACHES

JOHN STEGER

Defensive Coordinator The senior member of the UMD football staff, John Steger embarks on his 13th season -- in his second tour of duty -- as the Bulldogs’ defensive coordinator in 2013. He 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 Steiger’s expert watch, UMD has consistently finished among the league leaders in a number of defensive statistical categories. That includes in 2009 when the Bulldogs paced the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference in scoring,total,and rushing defense.On a national scale, UMD has also earned plenty of notice both as a team and individually. Four years ago, for example, his charges allowed the second fewest points, the fourth fewest rushing yards, and the fifth fewest total yards per game in the entire NCAA II ranks.In 2008,Steger was chosen as a finalist for the footballscoop.com NCAA Coordinator of the Year Award after the Bulldogs allowed just four defensive touchdowns over the course of their four-game NCAA II national title run. During his 12 years at UMD, he has helped produce seven All-Americans and 27 All-NSIC/ North Central Conference first team selections. Steger joined the Bulldog family in 1999 after working the previous 11 years as a defensive coordinator at two NCAA Division III schools. He served a seven-season 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, 50, 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.

DAN LARSON

Offensive Coordinator Dan Larson was hired as UMD’s new offensive coordinator this past winter after serving in that same capacity at Macalester College the past five years. He succeeded Curt Wiese, UMD’s offensive coordinator since 2008 who was promoted to the Bulldog head coaching position on Dec. 21. Under Larson’s watch, Macalester set school records for both scoring (34.2 points per game) and passing yards (215.1 ypg) in 2012 while going 6-4 on the year. Two years earlier, the Scots rolled up a programbest 423.2 yards of total offense per game and had the unique distinction of averaging over 200 yards rushing and 200 yards passing during the course of the season. Prior to joining the Macalester staff, Larson worked as the running backs coach and special teams coordinator at Colgate University, from 2006 to 2007. During his final year with the Red Raiders, he tutored running back Jordan Scott, the 2007 FBS (NCAA IAA) national rushing yardage leader. Larson began his collegiate coaching career at Marietta College (Ohio), where, as a colleague of Wiese’s, spent a pair of seasons (2003-04) as the Pioneers’ strength and conditioning coach in addition to overseeing the running backs and punters. In 2005, he relocated to the University of Wisconsin-Stout football program and oversaw the Blue Devil wide receivers and special team units. A native of Baldwin, Wis., Larson was a three-year starter on the defensive line at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and, as a senior in 2002, captained the Blugolds while attaining All-Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference recognition. Larson, 34, earned a B.A. degree in mass communications/public relations from Wisconsin-Eau Claire in 2003 and a Master’s degree in education from Marietta College two years later. He and his wife, Erin, have one daughter, Stella.

PETER LUE

GREG BOWER

Offensive Line

Special Teams Coordinator

The play of UMD’s offensive interior falls under the domain of Peter Lue, who has skillfully handled that key responsibility the past seven years. During his tenure with the Bulldogs, Lue has had a hand in mentoring no less than 15 All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference North Division and/or All-North Central Conference selections in Nate Baier (first team in 2008, second team in 2007), Jake Bscherer (first team in 2012), Mitch Cady (first team in 2008 and honorable mention in 2007), Cory Flesch (first team in 2011), Russell Foster (second team in 2006), Garth Heikkinen (first team in 2010-12 and honorable mention in 2009), Francis Herzog (honorable mention in 2011 and first team in 2010), Eli Kelly (second team in 2011 and first team in 2010), Tobias Lemke (first team in 2008-09), Mark Knudsen (first team in 2006), Tom Olson (honorable mention in 2011-12), Grant Schnobrich (second team in 2012) and Sam Whitney (first team in 2009 and honorable mention in 2008). Heikkinen, UMD’s first four-time All-Conference honoree, was the recipient of the 2012 Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year Award and Heikkinen earned All-American first or second team distinction from six different groups as a senior and four the previous year. Baier, Cady and Lemke all secured All-American first team status during their respective senior seasons as well. Lue, 41, who is in charge of UMD’s Big Dog and your football camps and clinics, 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 joined the Explorer staff in 2002 fresh off a two-season stay 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). Lue, a native of Parsippany, N.J., graduated from Rowan U. in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice.

Another new addition to the Bullldog football staff, Greg Bower took over as the Bulldogs’ special teams coordinator and defensive secondary coach on Jan. 14, 2013, after spending the previous five seasons handling the defensive coordinator role at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Last fall, 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 42-year old Bower was employed as an assistant coach for eight seasons at Northern Illinois University, a member of the 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 and 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.

TREY DILL

LUKE SCHALEKAMP Defensive Backs

Wide Receivers

Outside Linebackers

The 2013 season marks Trey Dill’s third year at UMD where he’ll once to once again supervise UMD’s first line of defense and work with the likes of All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference selections Buma Foncham and Chris Vandervest. The 28-year old Dill previously served a two-season appointment as the inside linebackers coach at intrastate rival St. Cloud State University and helped groom a pair of all-NSIC performers during his time with the Huskies (who qualified for the 2010 NCAA II playoffs). He enlisted his services with the St. Cloud State staff fresh off a four-year playing career as a reserve linebacker at that institution. A two-time member of the North Central Conference Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll, Dill is currently completing a Master’s degree in Sports Administration from St. Cloud State, where he graduated in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing. The St. Cloud Tech High School alumnus and his wife, Holly, reside in Hermantown. He is the son of Bemidji State University Athletic Director Tracy Dill.

After a two-year hiatus, Luke Schalekamp returns to UMD in 2013 to assist with the team’s defense backs. Schalekamp, who holds the distinction of being just one of two individuals to win an NCAA Division II title both as a UMD player and coach, served as an assistant with the Bulldogs for a pair of seasons (2009 and 2010) before taking a job with the Minnesota Conservation Corps, working with natural resource habitat restoration.The Fergus Falls, Minn., native, closed out his collegiate playing days five years ago by establishing career bests for both receptions (16) and receiving yards (149) with the NCAA II champion Bulldogs. In all, he appeared in 34 lifetime collegiate games, including five as a starter. A qualifier for the 2005 North Central Conference Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll and two-time Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference All-Academic Team pick, Schalekamp graduated from UMD in May 2010 with a B.S. degree in biology.

Homegrown talent Noah Pauley, who between 2007-10 established himself as one of UMD’s more dynamic performers, will embark on his first year as a graduate assistant with the Bulldogs in 2013 and his second go-around with the coaching staff. Pauley, a Bulldog student assistant coach during the 2011 season, will be involved with the team’s receivers – something he knows a thing or two about. In 47 career outings, the former Duluth Central High School three-sport star hauled in 100 passes (a milestone only nine other Bulldogs have ever reached) for 1,108 yards and nine touchdowns. He made his final catch as a collegian 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 brought home their second NCAA II crown in two years. As a junior, Pauley brought back 16 of the team’s 17 punts. A 2012 UMD graduate (B.S. degree in criminology), Pauley is currently enrolled in the Master’s of Education program at UMD.

Tyler Johnson played his last down as a Bulldog three years ago, but this fall he’s returned to his alma mater to fill a graduate assistant coaching role (outside linebackers). Since graduating from UMD in the spring of 2010 with a B.A.S. degree in elementary education, Johnson had taught third grade in the city he was born and raised – Rhinelander, Wis. – while also serving on the football coaching staff at Rhinelander High School. In 2012, he took over as the team’s defensive coordinator and helped shepherd the Hodags to their first WIAA playoff appearance in 23 years. Johnson, who is now pursuing a Master’s of Education degree at UMD, received AllNorthern Sun Intercollegiate Conference second team recognition as a senior in 2009 after being credited with a personal-best 19 total tackles and two pass breakups from the nose tackle position. A two-time NSIC All-Academic Team honoree and 2007 North Central Conference Commissioners Honor Roll recipient, he started the final 20 game of his college career.

GARTH HEIKKINEN Tight Ends

Less than a year removed from completing what arguably ranks as the most decorated playing career in UMD football program history, Garth Heikkinen is back with the Bulldogs in 2013, this time in a graduate assistant coaching capacity. As a senior co-captain last fall, Heikkinen was bestowed with the Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year Award (a Bulldog first) in addition to being selected to a UMD-best six different All-American teams -- Associated Press (Little All-American first team), American Football Coaches Association (first team), d2football.com (first team), Daktronics (first team), Don Hansen (first team) and Beyond Sports College Network (second team). This past January, he took part in the East-West Shrine Game, joining future New England Patriot and Green Bay Packer offensive lineman Dave Viaene (1988) as the only two Bulldogs to ever do so. The Duluth Central High School alumnus started a school-record 54 consecutive games since the 2009 opener on his way to becoming UMDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first four-time All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference honoree (North Division first team in 2010-12 and honorable mention in 2009). In 2011, Heikkinen attained All-American status from five different groups including the AFCA (first team), D2Football.com (first team), Daktronics (first team), Associated Press (Little AllAmerican second team), and Beyond Sports College Network (honorable mention). During his time as a starter, the Bulldogs went 47-7, captured one NCAA II national championship (2010), three overall NSIC titles and four NSIC North Division crowns, qualified for the NCAA II playoffs four times, and cracked the top 10 in every AFCA II weekly poll but three (all in 2011 and never below No. 15). Heikkinen, who attended the 2013 Minnesota Vikings Rookie Camp, graduated from UMD last December with a B.S. degree in criminology and is pursuing a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Education degree.

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 150. 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 registered what is arguably the most momentous 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 season-ending knee injury six weeks in), UMD still 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 school-record 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, 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.

UMD has harvested several outstanding players throughout its rich 80-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, UMD 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 different 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. Last fall, 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) in addition to being named to a program-best six different All-American teams.

UMD, which featured the likes of defensive tackle Craig Nasvik (above), won the first of two NIC championships in 1979 and launched a winning streak which would reach a school-record 20 games late into the 1981 season.

BEARCATS OUTLAST BULLDOGS 45-41 IN NCAA II PLAYOFF THRILLER

Bob Nielson couldn’t have put it any better.

“It was one of those shoot out games where it seemed whoever had the last possession would win,” said the third-year University of Minnesota Duluth after Jeromy Scaggs’ three-yard touchdown with just 31 seconds remaining rallied Northwest Missouri State University to a 45-41 win over his Bulldogs in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. “I liked the way we hung in right to the end and battled back -- especially in the third quarter. Ultimately, I guess we just gave them too much time to work with on their final drive.” The 2002 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference champion Bulldogs, who were making their first-ever NCAA II postseason appearance, finished their memorable season with an 11-1 overall record. Defense took a back seat in Saturday’s game as the two teams combined for 1,032 yards of total offense. (579-453 in favor of Northwest Missouri State). UMD senior quarterback Rick Fritz, appearing in his school-record 47th game, threw for 330 yards and four touchdowns while completing 18 of 43 passes. Junior wide receiver Tim Battaglia had seven receptions for 159 yards including a 66-yard score that put UMD up 41-38 -- only its second lead of the afternoon -- with 3:02 left in regulation. However, the Bearcats, ranked fourth in the latest AFCA Top 25 poll, put together a six-play, 61-yard drive that ended with Scagg’s winning score. The Bulldogs got on the board first 10:31 into the opening quarter when Fritz and sophomore wide receiver Chris Kuhl hooked up on a 16-yard touchdown strike. The 12-0 Bearcats then responded with 17 unanswered points to take a 17-10 lead into the locker room at intermission Junior placekicker Chad Gerlach kicked two field goals in the setback, including a career-best 47-yarder just before halftime, while junior cornerback Cash Langeness returned a fumble 55 yards for one of six third quarter touchdowns the two teams scored. Sophomore running back Dave Rufledt rushed 13 times for 36 yards to lead the Bulldogs, who were held to 123 yards on the ground but did hold a slight edge in time of possession (31:15 to 28:45).

UMD GROUNDED BY NORTH DAKOTA IN NCAA II PLAYOFF LOSS

The University of Minnesota Duluth literally threw everything it had at the

University of North Dakota, and, in the end, it wasn’t quite enough as the host Fighting Sioux pulled out a hard-fought 23-12 victory in an NCAA Division II playoffs opener. “We laid it on the field today and I’m proud of my guys,” said UMD head coach Kyle “Bubba” Schweigert. “In the end, we had a difficult time moving the ball with any consistency against a very good defensive team.” Ted Schlafke was involved in all but one of UMD’s offensive plays in the setback, tying an NCAA II playoff record with 64 pass attempts and rushing 14 times (for a minus 12 yards). The freshman quarterback completed 34 passes for 295 yards and one touchdown while directing UMD’s no-huddle offense which was, with the exception of a handful of plays, void of any running backs. “They brought a lot of pressure from different spots and we had to adjust,” said Schlafke, who became the first quarterback in 16 years to lead the Bulldogs in rushes (135). “We put up 101 points in our previous two games combined and we really expected to do the same kind of thing offensively today.” Following the opening kickoff, the Bulldogs mounted a 14-play, 68-yard drive which took them down to the Sioux seven-yard line. A 24–yard field goal by Britt Baumann was nullified by an illegal procedure penalty and his ensuing try from 29 yards sailed wide right. On North Dakota’s first play from scrimmage, wide receiver Weston Dressler ran 39 yards which led to an eventual 39-yard field goal by Jeff Glas four minutes into the opening quarter. The Sioux proceeded to start the second quarter with a three-yard touchdown run by Chris Beatty to go up 10-0. A little more than five minutes later, Schlafke threw a 26-yard pass to Ross Schumacher for the sophomore wide receiver’s second touchdown reception of the season. The snap on the extra point try was muffed, making it 10-6 in UND’s favor. Reed Manke’s scored what wound up being the final touchdown of the afternoon with 4:22 remaining in the second quarter when he plowed in from two yards out to give North Dakota a 17-6 lead at halftime. Each team booted a pair of second half field goals -- Baumann hit from 35 and 37 yards while Glas countered with a 37- and 24-yarder to make it a 23-12 final. Sophomore wide receiver Vinny Flury and rookie wide out Tony Doherty each had a team-high nine receptions, while Schumacher caught six passes. Flury closed out the year with a Bulldog single-season record 77 catches. UMD held a 19-18 edge in first downs but was out gained 362-282 in total yardage. “We were only a couple of plays away from being on the other side of today’s final outcome” said nose tackle Matt Hoffman , one of 10 seniors on the 2005 Bulldog roster. “Last year we had only one win in the NCC so this season was huge step for the football program.”

BULLDOGS GROUND EAGLES 20-10; SOAR INTO NCAA QUARTERFINALS

Ted Schlafke launched his memorable college career three years ago

against Chadron State College. He wasn’t about to end it against those same Eagles. The University of Minnesota Duluth senior quarterback had a hand in all three touchdowns, helping spark the No. 6 Bulldogs to a 20-10 victory over No. 12 Chadron State in the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs at James S. Malosky Stadium. The win was UMD’s first ever in three lifetime NCAA playoff games and marked the first postseason home appearance in the 76-year history of its storied football program. UMD, which came into the day averaging 46.2 points per game was unable to establish consistent offensive rhythm against the Eagles’ tough defense, which used a solid pass rush to prevent Schlafke from getting comfortable in the pocket. UMD failed to score in the opening 15 minutes of play for the first time this fall after racking up an NCAA II-best 164 first-quarter points. “I didn’t throw the ball great all day,” said Schlafke, who completed ten of 25 passes for a season-low 137 yards with no interceptions. “It might have been an off day for me.” Schlafke’s six-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter put the Bulldogs ahead 7-0, a lead UMD would take into halftime. The Bulldogs went up 20-0 on a pair of third-quarter touchdowns -- a 15-yard strike from Schlafke (his 100th as collegian) to sophomore wide out Noah Pauley and Schlafke’s 3-yard scoring run. Chadron State (11-2), the three-time defending Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference champion, got on the scoreboard when Trevor Hyatt blocked UMD’s extra point attempt and returned it for two points. The Eagles would score on the next possession to cut the gap to 20-10, but could get no closer as the UMD defense tightened up and did not allow any fourth-quarter points. The Bulldogs again used a physical running attack to wear the Eagles down and control the clock, owning a 38:26-21:34 advantage in time of possession. Sophomore running back Isaac Odim turned in another stellar performance, rushing 25 times for 192 yards, both career highs. The Bulldogs rolled up 251 yards on the ground while holding Eagles to just eight yards on 17 attempts. “We knew coming in that they had a good defensive scheme. They move guys around and do a lot of blitzing,” said Odim. “Our preparation paid off.” UMD’s defense matched the offensive unit stride for stride. The Eagles’ offense was held to 70 first-half yards, and just 178 for the game. Strong safety Jim Johnson, one of 12 Bulldogs seniors who made their final collegiate home appearances Saturday, led the way with nine tackles.

ONE GRAND VICTORY!

Isaac Odim’s two-yard touchdown run in the second overtime and Kiel Fechtelkotter’s ensuing interception sealed the Bulldogs’ historic 19-13 victory over No. 1 Grand Valley State University in the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. “This was a tremendous win against an outstanding opponent,” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson. “It wasn’t pretty at times, but we found a way to get it done. Our defense was consistent all day – they bent a little but didn’t break – and offensively we made enough of the right plays to win.” The Bulldogs found themselves trailing for the first time in 14 games when Grand Valley, which was 51-1 in its previous 52 games, took at 3-0 lead with 2:57 remaining in the first quarter on Todd Carter’s 28-yard field goal. Senior quarterback Ted Schlafke hooked up with Odim on a 16-yard scoring strike to go up 7-3 six seconds into the second quarter before Carter nailed another field goal from 36 yards out three minutes later to pull the Lakers to within one. It remained 7-6 until D.J. Winfield hauled in a 34-yard touchdown pass from Schlafke late in the third quarter, but freshman placekicker David Nadeau, who had earlier missed a 39-yard field goal, had his extra point conversion kick blocked. Grand Valley, which came into afternoon riding a 29-game home winning streak, sent the game into overtime on Jonn Mathews’ seven-yard scoring reception with only 66 seconds remaining in regulation. Both teams failed to score in the first overtime – Carter missed his third field goal try of the day (from 37 yards) while Schlafke was picked off on UMD’s opening play. Odim then found the end zone four plays into the Bulldogs’ next series before Fechtelkotter sealed the win with his third interception of the year at UMD’s 15-yard line. The game featured two Harlon Hill Trophy quarter finalists in Schalfke and Brad Iciek. Schlafke connected on 14 of 26 passes for 160 yards and a pair of scores but was intercepted a season-high three times. Iciek also threw three picks (doubling his previous 2008 total) and was just 13-of-46 for 160 yards. It didn’t help the Grand Valley quarterback’s stats that the Bulldogs were credited with a season-high nine pass breakups, including three by free safety Tyler Yelk. “That was the difference in the ball game -- we were able to disrupt their passing attack,” said Nielson. “Our defense has proven all year they are difficult to run against, but today we didn’t let them get anything going through the air.” UMD not only held the potent Laker offense to just one touchdown on the day, but also just 269 yards of total offense -- almost 200 yards below their season average. “Our strategy coming in was to attack on defense and those guys did a great job of doing that,” said Schlafke. “ It was great how everyone came together with a little adversity there at the end. But we were still able to pull it out in overtime, and I think that says a lot about this team.”

BULLDOGS STILL PERFECT ... AND NCAA II TITLE GAME BOUND

Fourteen down, one to go.

Isaac Odim scored four touchdowns and the University of Minnesota Duluth defense once again took care of business on the other side of the football while rolling to a convincing 45-7 victory over host California University of Pennsylvania in the NCAA Division II semifinals. “I don’t want to say that today’s game was perfect but we played pretty close to that,“ said UMD head coach Bob Nielson,. “I’m really proud of our football team and how we responded coming off the big win against (No. 1 ranked) Grand Valley State last week and played, without question, our best football game of the year.” It was a record-breaking day for Odim as the sophomore running back broke 32-year old single-season marks for rushing yardage rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns. The Rochester, Minn. native ran for 126 yards – including a 51-yard scoring jaunt which gave UMD a 31-0 third-quarter lead – on 17 carries and eclipsed the 100-yard barrier for the seventh straight game. Playing before a national television audience for the second time this fall, the Bulldogs also got touchdowns from sophomore Brad Foss (a nine-yard run) and senior wide receiver Tony Doherty (a four-yard pass reception which closed out the scoring) and a 23-yard field goal from freshman David Nadeau. UMD piled up 451 yards of total offense, 211 of which came in the first half when it jumped out to a 17-0 lead. Bulldog senior quarterback Ted Schlafke, who was making his school-record tying 46th consecutive start, connected on 12 of 21 passes for 141 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Doherty and sophomore wide out D.J. Winfield paced the Bulldogs with three receptions each. UMD came into the afternoon sporting the nation’s second toughest defense against the run and held the No. 7 Vulcans to just 56 yards (almost 150 yards below their season average) on 27 attempts. Sophomore inside linebacker Robbie Aurich was credited with game-high 11 total tackles while senior strong safety Jim Johnson had eight stops and a pair of interceptions. “The d-line was unbelievable with the pressure they put on their quarterback today,” said Johnson.”They are the ones who deserve all of the credit,” The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference champion Vulcans who were hosting their second NCAA II semifinal game in as many years, finished 12-2.

SIMPLY THE BEST!

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 Loth and Drew Fautsch Loth, Fautsch and the rest of the Bulldog defensive unit wound up allowing only four touchdowns during their four-game postseason run against a quartet of Top 12 clubs. “We did some really effective things with our pass rush today,” said sophomore inside linebacker Robbie Aurich, who was credited with a game-high 13 total tackles. “I thought our defensive coordinator John Steger developed a terrific game plan and we just went out and executed it.”

UMD STRIKES EARLY AND OFTEN IN ROLLING PAST NEBRASKA-KEARNEY

The University of Minnesota Duluth picked an opportune time -- the opening of the win-or-go-home postseason -- to deliver perhaps its most impressive allaround performance of 2009. Junior running back Isaac Odim rushed for three touchdowns and rookie quarterback Chase Vogler ran for one score and threw for another as Bulldogs opened their NCAA Division II national title defense by overwhelming the University of Nebraska-Kearney 42-7 in a second round playoff clash at James S. Malosky Stadium. “We played our best game of the year and I knew we would have to,” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson. “I was very pleased with the way we executed both offensively and defensively. I thought our defense was outstanding from start to finish and Chase did an exceptional job at managing the offense.” The No. 4 Bulldogs jumped out to a 28-0 halftime lead (getting 14 of those points off Loper turnovers) before adding a pair of third-quarter touchdowns to put the game away. Odim, one of nine finalists for the 2009 Harlon ll Trophy, eclipsed the 100-yard rushing barrier for the 12th time in 12 games this season, rolling up 102 yards on 17 carries. In the process, he became UMD’s all-time rushing leader with 3,379 yards. His backfield mate, junior Brad Foss, rushed 18 times for another 103 yards against a Loper club which had given up an average of just 83.2 yards per game on the ground heading into the day. It marked the fourth game this year that both members of the Odim-Foss tandem ran for 100 yards or more. “We are a team which has to run the football effectively to be successful,“ said Nielson. “Having two quality backs like we do is extremely important. I think Brad showed today, like he pretty much has all season, that when Isaac is not in the game, our running attack doesn’t drop off much.” Vogler, the first true freshman to hold a starting quarterback role at UMD in 47 years, completed 13 of 19 passes -- including a 32-yard touchdown strike to sophomore wide receiver D.J. Winfield just before the halftime -- with no interceptions. He and the Bulldogs amassed 428 yards of total offense and held a 2:1 advantage in possession time (40:46 to 19:04) while putting the clamps on Nebraska-Kearney’s school-record 11-game winning streak. The UMD defense, which has now allowed only five touchdown in five postseason engagements going back to last year, was paced by linebackers Robbie Aurich, the 2009 NSIC Defensive Player of the Year, and Max Phillips, both of whom were credited with a team-high five tackles. Senior cornerback Brandon Wood and his backup, junior Forest Clements, each picked off a pass for the Bulldogs, who limited the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference champion Lopers (11-2 overall) to just 63 yards of total offense through three quarters and 158 for the game.

GRAND VALLEY STATE DASHES UMD’S REPEAT TITLE HOPES

There will be no national championship repeat for the University of Minne-

sota Duluth. Grand Valley State University saw to that by keeping the high-powered Bulldog offense in check en route to a 24-10 NCAA Division II quarterfinal victory before a UMD postseason record crowd of 4,211 at James S. Malosky Stadium. The day started out in an auspicious manner for No. 4 UMD, as junior running back Isaac Odim took the opening kick 91 yards into the end zone. The No. 3 Lakers answered with two touchdowns 1:36 apart before sophomore placekicker David Nadeau nailed a 34-yard field goal with 3:30 to play in the first quarter to cut the Grand Valley State lead to 14-10. Justin Trumble’s field goal from 30 yards out four minutes into the second quarter put the Lakers back up by 7, a lead it would carry into halftime. Grand Valley State quarterback Brad Iciek, who like Odim is one of nine finalists for the 2009 Harlon Hill Trophy, connected on a 32-yard scoring strike with Greg Gay at the 7:31 mark of the third quarter to close out the scoring. “I thought our guys played exceptionally hard,” said head coach Bob Nielson, whose Bulldogs defeated the Lakers in double overtime on the road in last year’s NCAA II quarterfinals. “But Grand Valley State certainly deserved to win today -- they made more plays than we did.” After mustering just 59 yards of total offense in the opening 30 minutes of play, UMD moved the football inside the Grand Valley State 30-yard in each of its first four possessions of the second half, but failed to come away with any points. Three of those drives ended on interceptions and the other on downs. The Lakers, who have won four of the last seven NCAA II crowns, rolled up 393 yards on the afternoon, including 168 on the ground -- the most by any UMD opponent this season. Odim was held to a career-low 67 rushing yards (on 18 carries) after having come into the day averaging the fourth highest run total in the nation (145.1 yards per game). The 2009 NSIC Offensive Player of the Year did, however, help the Bulldog cause by racking up 175 yards (four shy of the school single-game record) on four kick returns. Freshman quarterback Chase Vogler completed eight of 20 passes for 102 yard, but was picked off four times -- one less than he had in the previous 12 games combined. “Our offense had to do a better job of putting points on the board,” said Odim, “But we really can’t make any excuses this time. They just outplayed us.” For the 15th time in the past 17 games, junior inside linebacker paced Robbie Aurich paced the Bulldogs in tackles with nine while cornerback Brandon Wood, free safety Brad Just and nose guard Tyler Johnson all were credited with eight stops. Wood and Johnson were two of the 12 UMD seniors playing in their final collegiate games. “I can’t say enough about the seniors,” said Johnson, whose eight tackles were a personal best. “ We would have liked to out on top again but we can’t knock the season we had.” Grand Valley State UMD

OVERTIME WIN SENDS BULLDOGS ON TO NCAA II PLAYOFF QUARTERFINALS

Finding a way to win is what makes championship teams championship teams.

The University of Minnesota Duluth earned its third NCAA Division II quarterfinal berth in as many years by pulling out a 20-17 overtime victory over St. Cloud State University Saturday afternoon in a manner which could hardly be viewed as ordinary. The Bulldogs got a 19-yard field goal by David Nadeau as time expired in regulation to force the extra session and a 24-yard effort from their junior placekicker on their first possession of overtime. UMD sealed the victory, its seventh straight against the Huskies, four plays later when Tyler Aldridge’s three-point attempt sailed wide left. “This was one of those character wins,” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson. “We kept on battling and found a way to win. We didn’t start the game well on either side of the football, and maybe were a little out of sync -- perhaps because we made it out on the field to practice once all week. But right now, we are excited about the chance to keep playing.” The Bulldogs could have found themselves in a deep hole early, but thanks to some costly penalties in the red zone by the Huskies and a couple of missed fields, trailed just 7-0 after the first quarter. Sophomore quarterback Chase Vogler raced 31 yards for a touchdown with 3:25 to go in the half to draw UMD even and senior running back Brian Hanson gave the Bulldogs its last lead of regulation (14-7) at the 3:55 mark of the third quarter when he scored on a 13-yard run. Hanson’s touchdown, his personal-high sixth of the season, capped off four-play, 44-yard drive which was set up by junior Cody Eich’s block of a Husky punt. St. Cloud State went up 17-14 in the fourth quarter on a 40-yard field goal by Aldridge and a two-yard run from quarterback Phillip Klaphake and appeared to have sealed its third NCAA II playoff win ever after Marvin Matthews intercepted junior D.J. Winfield’s halfback option pass in the St. Cloud State end zone with just 1:50 to play. The Huskies, however, went three and out and, following a partially blocked punt, UMD proceeded to march 38 yards in 48 seconds before Nadeau’s clutch kick. “That defensive stand was huge for us,” said junior outside linebacker Derrick Zappa, one of three Bulldogs who was credited with a team-best nine total tackles. “We really wanted to get the ball back into our offense’s hands, so we just stacked the box and prevented them from getting that game-ending first down.” UMD, which came into the afternoon averaging a NCAA II-leading 46.1 points per game, out gained its longtime intrastate rivals in total offense by a 359-264 margin, and amassed 227 yards on the ground to just 88 for St. Cloud State. Vogler rushed for a career-high 109 yards on 18 carries and also completed 12 of 16 passes for another 132 yards while throwing just his second interception in 167 attempts this season. “Give them credit -- St. Cloud State’s defense played exceptionally well,” said Vogler. “They pretty much shut down our running attack for most of the game. We had to make some adjustments and do what it took to win. Today it worked for us.”

UMD GRINDS OUT 24-13 PLAYOFF WIN OVER AUGUSTANA

Conditions are not generally friendly for football in December. This is emphatically

the case in Duluth, where even its famous Christmas City of the North parade is held in November. It was in these blustery conditions that the University of Minnesota Duluth locked horns with Augustana College in an NCAA football quarterfinal Saturday in Duluth. Despite playing without a pair of offensive starters -- three-time All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference wide out D.J. Winfield and senior tight end Ryan Hayes -- both suspended for team rule violations, the No. 1-ranked Bulldogs still gutted out a 24-13 victory over their NSIC rivals, implementing an obstinate rushing attack reminiscent of the Jim Malosky-era of UMD football. It was a savage bulldozing, fully decisive and devoid of elegance. UMD amassed 247 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on 61 carries, throwing the ball just nine times in the program’s first-ever December engagement at James S. Malosky Stadium. Senior running back Brian Hanson paced the ground-pounding attack with 124 yards (on a Bulldog season-high 25 carries) but there was plenty for everyone as sophomore quarterback Chase Vogler and senior running back Brad Foss combined for 126 more yards on the ground behind the driving blocks of UMD’s offensive line. “We had success because of the big boys up front,” said Hanson. “They did a great job of handling all the crazy fronts that Augie threw at them.” The UMD defense was just as feral, limiting No. 9 Augustana to just 180 yards of total offense – a Vikings’ season low – while sacking sophomore quarterback Josh Hanson four times. Junior outside linebacker Derrick Zappa led the hit parade with six tackles, including three for a loss. Senior nose tackle Jim Kunz was dominant, too, registering five tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Kunz paced a UMD defensive line effort that senior inside linebacker Robbie Aurich praised specifically at the post-game press conference, noting their performance as a game-changer. Augustana’s Hanson echoed Aurich’s sentiments, calling UMD “definitely the most physical defense we’ve seen this year.” That physicality was on full display late in the first half when Augustana chose to attack through the air into a stiff wind with just over one minute remaining. Following two incomplete passes on their own 37-yard line, the second of which was nearly ruled intentional grounding, the Vikings again chose to pass rather than drain the clock and UMD’s time out cache with a run. This time, Kunz burst through the A-gap, collapsing the pocket around Hanson who fumbled. Aurich scooped the loose ball and skated into the end zone for a UMD touchdown. Augustana would never completely recover. “That was really a key play,” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson. “That made it a totally different feel at halftime. “We’re a team that wants to run the football first,” he added. “Today we were able to do that. It wasn’t easy because we were going up against an awfully good defensive team. The big thing was we were patient with our running game and kept the ball away from them. We had the ball twice as long as they did (39:16 to 20:44) and anytime you can do that you have a pretty good chance at winning the football game.”

BULLDOGS PUT THE FREEZE ON BEARCATS

The weather conditions at James S. Malosky Stadium were nothing short of bone

chilling, but that suited the University of Minnesota Duluth just fine. The Bulldogs battled gusty winds and frigid temperatures (which reached -14 windchill) with a punishing running attack and some key defensive stops in defeating Northwest Missouri State University 17-13 in the semifinals of the NCAA II playoffs. UMD rushed 56 times for 226 yards and got a pair of second-half touchdowns from senior running back Brian Hanson and sophomore quarterback Chase Vogler while holding the defending NCAA II champion Bearcats to their second lowest scoring output of the season. Northwest Missouri State, which came into the day riding a 12-game winning streak was making its sixth straight NCAA II semifinal appearance (it had won the previous five). “We are a ground-pound team, and our guys up front, I have to give them all the credit again,” said Hanson. “They made their blocks, opened holes, and I just had to hit them.” Vogler paced all Bulldog ground gainers with 101 yards on 18 carries, the most pivotal of which came with 4:12 remaining in the fourth quarter when he scrambled 34 yards for the go-ahead touchdown on a fourth-and-three situation. That capped off a 13-play, 80-yard drive which consumed nearly half a quarter (7:21) and gave UMD its only lead of the game. Northwest Missouri State sandwiched a pair of Jordan Simmons’ touchdowns (a 14-yard pass from Blake Bolles and a one-yard run) around a 27-yard field goal from junior placekicker David Nadeau to take a 13-3 advantage late into the third quarter before Hanson’s four-yard scoring jaunt ignited the UMD comeback. Hanson wound up with 72 yards on 19 attempts -- one week after scorching Augustana College for 124 yards in the NCAA II quarterfinals. Despite the adverse conditions, Bolles still managed to go 19-for-29 in the air for 141 yards but was intercepted three times -- twice by junior strong safety Cody Eich and once by sophomore free safety Cameron Harper on the Bearcats’ second-to-the-last series of the night. UMD limited Northwest Missouri State to just 108 yards rushing with senior inside linebacker Kiel Fechtelkotter (nine total tackles), Harper (eight) and senior right cornerback Forest Clements (eight) leading the charge. The game marked the first NCAA II semifinal the Bulldogs have ever hosted and the latest in the season they’ve played at home. For those 3,627 who braved the elements, it was all worth it. “We are certainly very happy about the win, and what makes it that much more rewarding when it comes against a team and program with the kind of class and tradition that Northwest Missouri has,” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson. “It certainly makes the win mean that much more, and I couldn’t be more proud of our guys.” “We haven’t seen too many teams run the football like this,” said Bearcats head coach Mel Tjeerdsma. “It’s a lot different. UMD is going to be a national champion as far as I’m concerned.”

NADEAU’S LAST-SECOND FIELD GOAL GIVES DELTA STATE THE BOOT

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, particularly in third and fourth down situations,” said Nielson, “We got some penetration at critical times when we needed to.” Sophomore free safety Cameron Harper spearheaded a Bulldog defensive unit which forced four turnovers (three fumbles and an interception by junior strong safety Cody Eich which eventually led to Nadeau’s last-second field goal), finishing the afternoon with 17 total tackles -- one shy of the school mark.

UMD vs. CSU-Pueblo

BULLDOGS SNEAK PAST SAGINAW VALLEY STATE IN OVERTIME

It was a battle of the rush versus the pass Saturday afternoon. And the rush won. University of Minnesota Duluth senior running back Zach Hulce and junior quarterback Chase Vogler each ran for a pair of touchdowns to lead the ground-happy Bulldogs to 30-27 overtime victory over Saginaw Valley State University in the opening round of the NCAA II playoffs at James S. Malosky Stadium. The defending national champions used a punishing running attack -- they rolled up 260 yards on 61 carries -- and a couple of critical defensive stops to advance to a second-round match up at No. 1 ranked and undefeated Colorado State University-Pueblo. Saginaw Valley (7-4-0 overall), did almost of its offensive damage through the air, amassing 344 yards compared to just 34 via the rush. In the first-ever meeting between the two clubs, UMD drew first blood on a nine-yard touchdown run by Vogler in the opening quarter. The Cardinals answered with a 76yard scoring strike from Jon Jennings to Jeff Jannis -- the longest play from scrimmage by a Bulldog opponent this season -- to draw even. Hulce put the Bulldogs back on top with a 10-yard scoring run nine minutes into the second quarter. UMD stretched its lead to 17-7 with four seconds to go before halftime on a clutch 40-yard field goal by old reliable, senior placekicker David Nadeau. “Big players do big things in big games, but it’s all about the team,” said Hulce, who grounded out 126 yards on a personal-best 27 attempts on the day for his fourth 100yard game of 2011. “I just try to do anything I can to help us win.” Saginaw Valley State, a member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and the Super Region Three’s No. 5 seed, took its only lead of the game at 21-17 early in the fourth quarter on Jannis’ third receiving score of the day before Hulce responded with a 22-yard touchdown run. Down by three with just over a minute to play, the Cardinals strung together an impressive drive, but were ultimately forced to kick a game-tying 42-yard field goal with two seconds remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime. After surrendering a quick first down, the Bulldog defense regrouped in overtime, holding the Cardinals to a field goal. That was enough for the UMD offense, which set itself up with first and goal from the one after a 23-yard completion from Vogler to freshman wide out Aaron Roth on UMD’s second play of overtime. Vogler punched it in on a quarterback sneak on the ensuing play, giving the Bulldogs the victory -- their 14th straight at home and third in three lifetime overtime playoff games -- in walk-off fashion. “The offensive line got a good push all day,” said Vogler, “From my point it’s easy, I just take the ball and go forward.” Saginaw Valley State 0 UMD 7

UMD LOWERS THE PLAYOFF BOOM ON TOP-RANKED THUNDERWOLVES

Trailing at halftime to the nation’s top-ranked team in their own backyard -- and with the season on the line at that -- is the kind of challenge that the University of Minnesota Duluth and its battle-tested playoff warrior Chase Vogler appear well-suited. Take what happened Saturday in Pueblo, Colo., for example. Vogler engineered a pair of key second-half scoring drives to help rally the Bulldogs past Colorado State University-Pueblo 24-21 , putting the clamps on CSU-Pueblo’s 15game winning streak (the longest in the country) and propelling UMD into the NCAA II playoff quarterfinals for a fourth consecutive year. “That was a heck of game today,” said UMD head coach Bob Nielson. “I’m really proud of our guys, the way they battled back and overcame adversity. When times got tough, the character of this team really showed.” CSU-Pueblo, which came into the day sporting the top scoring defense (9.1 points per game) in the country, marched 80 yards after the opening kickoff and grabbed an early 7-0 lead on J.B. Mathews’s 14-yard touchdown run. Senior placekicker David Nadeau got the Bulldogs on the board with a 46-yard field goal on their first series and then UMD went ahead seven seconds into the second quarter when sophomore wide receiver Joe Reichert hauled in a 14-yard toss in the end zone from Vogler, which was intended for, and tipped by, tight end Ben Helmer. The ThunderWolves (11-1), who were making their first NCAA II postseason appearance ever, regained the lead with 2:06 to go before halftime after a snap sailed over Vogler’s head and was recovered in the UMD end zone by CSU-Pueblo’s Corey Orth. The two clubs traded touchdowns on their only full possessions of the third quarter. Senior running back Zach Hulce plowed in from one yard out for his team-leading 12th TD of the year to put UMD up 17-14 before the ThunderWolves countered with an 18-yard scoring juant from quarterback Ross Dausin. The 21-17 CSU-Pueblo lead stood until midway through the final quarter when rookie running back Brian Lucas’s one-yard run capped off a five-play, 49-yard scoring drive to secure the win. “They are the No. 1 defense in the nation for a reason,” said Vogler, whose 31-yard scamper was the main spark in that final scoring drive. “They did a lot of confusing things up front and stunted differently but we made some adjustments in the second half. Both Hulce and Lucas ran hard all day and got some big first downs for us. And, the defense once again was outstanding -- especially in the second half.” Vogler accounted for 183 yards of offense, amassing 60 on the ground as well as 83 through the air. Hulce picked up a game-high 84 rushing yards while Lucas added 62 for the Bulldogs. UMD finished with just 287 yards of total offense, but held the ThunderWolves to even less – 224, including a mere 79 in the last two quarters. “We knew they were a team that really wanted to try to run the ball and control the ball,” said senior outside linebacker Rob Huberty, who was credited with a teamleading nine tackles and had one of UMD’s season-high five sacks. “That has been our goal every week – to limit the opposing team’s running game and force them to be one-dimensional. We thought if we could do that, we’d be successful today.” CSU-Pueblo UMD

WAYNE STATE OUTLASTS UMD 31-25 IN NCAA II QUARTERFINALS

One of the most dominant four-year runs in NCAA Division II football history came to an end Saturday afternoon as a visiting team walked off the field at James S. Malosky Stadium with a victory in tow for the first time in two years. Wayne State University made sure of that, fighting off a furious comeback effort by the University of Minnesota Duluth to hold on for a 31-25 triumph in the NCAA II playoff quarterfinals. The defending NCAA II champion Bulldogs had come out on top in each of their previous 14 tries at home, dating back to a 2009 quarterfinal loss to Grand Valley State University. UMD struck first on in its initial possession, marching 35 yards on 12 plays before three-time All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference senior placekicker David Nadeau nailed a 39-yard field goal to put UMD in front for the only time the entire day. The remainder of the first half served as a defensive battle, and a touchdown reception by Wayne State’s Troy Burrell put the Warriors 7-3 at the break. The Warriors opened the second half with a 60-yard scoring drive, extending its lead to 14-3. UMD, however, responded immediately as D.J. Winfield brought back the ensuing kick off 87 yards for a score -- a career long and the third touchdown return of his career. The senior from Mount Iron, Minn., who was making his first appearance of the season, finished as the Bulldogs’ leading receiver with 101 yards on six catches. Wayne State used another Mickey Mohner-to-Burrell touchdown pass and a 38-yard field goal (after successfully executing an on-side kick) to grab a 24-11 advantage after three quarters, setting the stage for perhaps another Bulldog come-from-behind playoff. Freshman tailback Brian Lucas ran 22 yards for touchdown 73 seconds into the fourth quarter to move UMD to within striking distance, but the Warriors answered again with a rushing score of their own with just under 10 minutes remaining in regulation. The Bulldogs pulled to within six points at the 6:29 mark when first-year freshman wide out Aaron Roth hauled down a highlight reel catch in the end zone on an 11yard pass from junior quarterback Chase Vogler. The UMD defense then forced Wayne State to punt on its next series and got as far as midfield, but had a hail mary pass attempt was batted down in the end zone as time expired. “Wayne State did a good job getting after us,” said Vogler, who was sacked a season-high five times -- all in the first half -- and wound up completing 16 of 28 passes for 202 yards. “They scouted us well.” The game was a of tale of two halves -- UMD owned a substantial advantage in time of possession (20:36 to 9:24), first downs (12 to 4), total plays (41 to 18) and total yards (126 to 66) in the opening 30 minutes while the Warriors turned the tables in the second half in those same categories (22:31 to 7:29 in time of possession; 12 to 10 in first downs; 44 to 26 in total plays; and 229 to 174 in total offense). The setback drew the curtain on the playing careers of 13 UMD seniors, who collectively rolled up a 52-5 overall record, won two NCAA II national titles and four Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference crowns, made four consecutive NCAA II playoff appearances and pieced together two separate 17-game winning streaks.

TRIPLE-OVERTIME LOSS OUSTS BULLDOGS FROM NCAA II POSTSEASON

As remarkable a career Chase Vogler has had at the University of Minnesota Duluth, the way it ended couldn’t have been any more heartbreaking. On his final snap as a collegian, the standout senior quarterback stumbled and fell while rolling out on UMD’s two-point conversion try in the third overtime, and then watched from the ground as No. 9 Missouri Western State University celebrated a 5755 victory in the opening round of the NCAA Division II playoffs Saturday afternoon. But that one bit of misfortune didn’t diminish the superb and gritty performance he put forth in St. Joseph, Mo. Vogler generated a career-high 379 yards of total offense, ran for a pair of touchdowns and deftly handled the controls of the Bulldog offense -- one which amassed 34 first downs, was 13-of-21 on third/fourth down conversions and rang up the highest point total ever in a UMD loss. The numbers, of course, meant nothing to him. Only the outcome did. “Obviously, it’s a disappointing way to end your season,” said Vogler, who suffered just his sixth setback in 52 lifetime starts with the Bulldogs. “It came down to those small things and just one more thing went their way than it did ours.” Seventh-ranked UMD, which hadn’t allowed a first-quarter point since the third week of the season coming into the day, trailed 14-6 after the opening 15 minutes but used touchdown runs by Vogler and sophomore running back Austin Sikorski to take a 20-14 lead into halftime. Missouri Western, the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association champion, went back on top on its opening possession of the second half, but Vogler answered again for the Bulldogs, scoring on a one-yard quarterback sneak at the 7:40 mark of the third quarter. Missouri Western sandwiched a pair of Travis Partridge scoring runs around Sikorski’s one-yard plunge, creating a 35-35 deadlock with just over five minutes to go. Vogler and the Bulldogs drove 57 yards on their last series of regulation, but were stopped just inches short of a first down on the Griffon 18-yard line, turning the ball over and forcing overtime. The shoot out continued with both clubs trading touchdowns in each of the three over times with Sikorski doing the honors for UMD all three times. The two teams combined for 1,147 total yards with UMD holding a slight edge (603) in that department. “I thought we gave up too many big plays and too many long runs ,” said UMD head Bob Nielson. “We also didn’t make the stops when we needed them in overtime. But I am proud of our guys and the way they left it all out there. And, if there is a better play maker in Division II football than Chase, I haven’t seen him. He carried us today.” Missouri Western 14 0 7 14 7 7 8 UMD 6 14 8 7 7 7 6 ”
