2010 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL MISSION
It is our mission to physically and mentally prepare the student-athlete for the rigors of collegiate athletics, by implementing professionally designed, scientifically sound training programs, designed specifically to reduce the incidence of injury and help each team and studentathlete reach their full athletic potential.
Philosophy
We believe that strength and conditioning is crucial to the complete development of the student-athlete. The philosophy of Nate Baukol Director of Strength and Conditioning our strength and conditioning program is based on the belief that what occurs in the weight room and field transfers to the playing surface. We train sport specifically with the goal of enhancing athleticism. We also believe in the importance of work ethic, attitude, accountability and mental toughness and that these qualities can be developed and enhanced through our strength and conditioning program. At the University of North Dakota, one program, functioning behind the scenes, but which should not be taken lightly, is the strength and conditioning program. The strength and conditioning program at UND is among the finest in Division I and vital to the success of all UND athletic teams. The strength and conditioning staff commits themselves to the development of size, strength, power, speed, agility, conditioning, and body composition of each student-athlete. The goal of the strength staff is to develop the athlete and team to reach their maximum potential throughout their career while staying injury free. Nate Baukol, director of strength and conditioning, oversees the program and facilities. Baukol has three full-time assistant coaches and one graduate assistant coach to assist him. Together they direct and monitor the training of over 500 studentathletes in 20 sports at UND. UND also boasts some of the finest strength training facilities around. The facilities include the Ralph Engelstad Arena weight room, the Memorial Stadium weight room, and the Hyslop Sports Center weight room. Training has become a year-round activity, with a student athlete spending as much time on physical development as any other part of their sport throughout the year. Student-athletes follow either offseason or in-season programs, which are individualized specific to the athlete and sport. Off-season programs are five days a week, summer months included. Each athlete receives a comprehensive summer training manual to follow, given that a member of the strength staff won’t be supervising them. In-season programs are typically 45-minute sessions, two to three days per week, supervised by the strength and conditioning staff. The University of North Dakota’s football weight room and locker room in Memorial Stadium offer Fighting Sioux football players outstanding facilities in which to train and prepare themselves to compete at the NCAA Division I level. The weight training facility and equipment was provided with the assistance of Jim and Joann McKay, UND Class of 1955 and John and Brenda Miller, UND Class of 1980.

STRENGTH TRAINING
Fighting Sioux 2010 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL
One of the unfortunate aspects of athletics is that injuries do occur. However, every student-athlete from UND athletic teams are under excellent care thanks to the UND Divison of Sports Medicine and its umbrella of staff, facilities and training.
Steve Westereng
With a staff of nine faculty athletic trainers, two graduate assistant athletic trainers and 30 athletic training students headed by director of sports medicine Steve Westereng, UND student-athletes are in good hands, returning them quickly and safely to participation.
Director of Sports Medicine
The UND Division of Sports Medicine was formed in 1990. Additionally, the bachelor of science in athletic training degree and the UND Center for Sports Medicine was founded. The athletic training education program was the first program in the nation to be placed directly in a school of medicine and is housed within the Department of Family Medicine, combining the efforts of the UND Athletic Training program and the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences. UND’s progressive thinking makes the institution a leader in the field of athletic training. Moreover, the program’s affiliation with the School of Medicine helps both the athletic training student and the studentathlete. Completion of the bachelor of science in athletic training allows the student to sit for the board of certification exam to become a certified athletic trainer (ATC). The student-athletes also benefit from having a wealth of competent individuals getting them back into action. In order to be accepted into the athletic training program, which received a seven-year accreditation in 2001 (note: UND will receive word in August 2008 of re-accreditation) from CAAHEP, a student must complete 100 hours of observation, fill out a formal application, and have a minimum GPA of 2.75. The Division of Sports Medicine also has an outpatient facility, the UND Center for Sports Medicine, which specializes in rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries. UND student-athletes, as well as the general public, utilize this facility to decrease pain, increase strength, and improve range of motion of injuries. Many of the injuries seen in the Center for Sports Medicine are significant, such as pre- and post-surgical issues. The center is staffed by Cathy Ziegler, PT/ATC, and Robin Tracy, PT/ ATC, who have experience with high school, college, and professional athletes.

Whether it is reading to area school children or lending their time to countless charitable organizations or providing disaster relief, UND’s student-athletes pride themselves on their community involvement and have long been looked upon as pillars within the UND and Grand Forks communities.
One cause that is particularly dear to the football program is the Holiday Magic for Markus initiative, which was established in 2002 in honor of the late Markus Bryant and provides Christmas presents for area children diagnosed with chronic, debilitating illnesses. Last year, enough money was raised to provide over $2,000 worth of gifts.
Ty Boyle (right) was one of several studentathletes who helped with the Fighting Sioux Club “Thank-a-Thon”. The student-athletes called Fighting Sioux Club members from all over the country to thank them for their support of the Fighting Sioux Club.
In February 2010, the University of North Dakota Student Government, Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), Greek Life, Hope Across Borders, and Beta Alpha Psi collaborated with the American Red Cross in an effort to raise money for relief efforts in Haiti. Spearheaded by student-athletes Lauryn Job, Andrea LaFrance, Josh Lagein, Rachael Loomis, Matt Bakke, and president of the sorority community Seinquis Slater, ‘UND Fighting for Haiti’ raised over $13,000 in just over two weeks.

pRESIDENT Dr. Robert Kelley
Dr. Robert Kelley began serving as UND’s 11th president July 1, 2008. He had been dean of the College of Health Sciences and professor of medical education and public health at the University of Wyoming since 1999. Before then, he was associate vice chancellor for research and executive associate dean of the graduate college at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and professor of biological sciences at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and professor of anatomy and cell biology at the College of Medicine, both at the University of Illinois at Chicago. At the University of New Mexico, he served as chair of anatomy and senior executive associate dean, as well as other faculty capacities. He has also taught at the University of California, Berkeley. Kelley earned his bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry from Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas, in 1965, and his master’s degree in 1966 and doctorate in 1969, both in cell and developmental biology from the University of California, Berkeley. Kelley has served as chair of the Assembly for the Association of American Medical Colleges, chaired the Council of Academic Societies for the AAMC, and was a member of the executive board of the National Board of Medical Examiners, which is responsible for the U.S. medical licensure examination. In addition, he has served the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on several study sections, served on the director’s advisory board for NIH strategic planning, and chaired the Minority Biomedical Research Support Program advisory committee in the NIH Division of Research Resources. That program helped support research for historically black universities, tribal colleges, and “minority-majority” institutions. He also served as principal investigator for the University of Wyoming/Northern Rockies INBRE (IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence), an NIH program which promotes biomedical research and connects the state’s community colleges with the University of Wyoming. He and his wife, Marcia, who was a lecturer in the University of Wyoming Department of Communication Disorders, have four children.

Athletics director Brian Faison
Brian Faison is his third year as athletics director at the University of North Dakota. Faison assumed his duties at UND in May of 2008. Faison’s first year was a busy one, leading Fighting Sioux athletics through its first year of transition to NCAA Division I status for all of its sports programs. He secured conference membership for 16 of UND’s 20 sports in the Great West Conference, restructured the athletics department and enhanced UND’s statewide profile through community outreach initiatives and an expanded Fighting Sioux Sports Network. In Faison’s second year, student-athletes continued their tradition of academic excellence: four student-athletes were named academic AllAmericans by ESPN the Magazine; two student-athletes received NCAA postgraduate scholarships; and a school-record 111 student-athletes received academic all-conference honors. Alumni and fan support continued to grow: annual giving to the Fighting Sioux Club set another record; volleyball set a single-season attendance record; women’s hockey finished seventh in the nation in average attendance; and men’s hockey finished second in the nation in average and total attendance. Competitively, UND teams again enjoyed outstanding seasons: volleyball, women’s basketball and softball all won Great West Conference championships; men’s hockey won the Broadmoor Trophy, the WCHA Final Five championship, and qualified for its eighth straight NCAA tournament appearance; and football enjoyed its seventh straight winning season. Prior to joining UND, Faison served as special assistant to the president for athletics development (2004-07) and director of athletics (1999-04) at New Mexico State University. Before that, he served as the director of development for the National Children’s Cancer Society (1995-1999). Faison gained experience in Division I administration as the director of athletics at Indiana State University (1988-1995), assistant athletics director for development at the University of Louisville (1984-1988) and assistant athletics director for promotions and fund raising at Illinois State University (1979-1984). He also had stints as the assistant manager for athletic public relations at the University of Missouri (19781979) and assistant director for alumni activities at the University of Missouri (1974-1978). Faison received his bachelor’s degree in 1972 from the University of Missouri and is also a 1997 graduate of the National Planned Giving Institute. Faison and his wife, Donna, have three sons: Jonathan, Matthew and Bradley.

Fighting Sioux
2010 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL North Dakota is in its 10th season of playing its football home games at the Alerus Center, a 12,283-seat stadium located just minutes from the UND campus in Grand Forks.
The Alerus features an AstroTurf Magic Carpet playing surface that allows for rapid field conversion, with a playing surface that has no seams. Locker rooms are adorned in UND colors and are dividable into four 25-locker sections. There are also dressing rooms for coaches and officials. State-of-the art scoreboards, 15-by-30 Daktronics video replay boards and a BOSE sound system make the stadium one of the most exciting places in the nation to watch Division I football.

For the season, more than 100,000 fans turned out to watch the Sioux play at the Alerus, and UND’s regular season average attendance of 10,517 was a school record. The previous school record was 9,150 in 1976, when the Sioux drew an estimated 36,600 for four games at Memorial Stadium. UND’s average attendance was also the third-best figure nationally in NCAA Division II for 2001. UND finished fourth nationally in Division II attendance in 2000, its final season at Memorial Stadium.
The Alerus has luxury VIP suites, eight concession stands, two vending stands, 14 ticket windows in three locations and four merchandise stands. There are 4,075 parking spaces available.
Home-field Advantage
The Fighting Sioux have posted a 54-8 record at Alerus Center in seven seasons – including a 10-0 postseason record – and won a school-record 23 straight home games from 2002 to 2005. In 2004, UND led the nation in NCAA Division II total attendance for the second straight year, with 75,110 fans passing through the gates to watch Fighting Sioux football, an average of 9,389 per game. UND’s fans have been enthusiastic ever since the Alerus Center opened, but one of the most vocal crowds came in the 2001 NCAA semifinal game against UC Davis. In that game, UC Davis was flagged
With 12,431 fans in attendance, the 2009 North Dakota football season began with the largest season-opening crowd in Alerus Center history. The crowd was also the third-largest at the Alerus Center for the Fighting Sioux since the move in 2001.

Mike Mannausau is in his seventh season on North Dakota’s coaching staff and fifth as defensive coordinator. Prior to the 2008 season, he was elevated to assistant head coach. Mannausau also works directly with the defensive line, a position he coached at UND during his first two seasons on the staff. In 2009, the Fighting Sioux defense recorded 103 tackles and totalled 65 tackles for loss (240 yards), including 15 quarterback sacks. Five fumbles were forced by members of the defensive line and nine quarterback hurries were registered. Junior Ty Boyle and redshirt freshman Ross Brenneman were named to the 2009 Great West All-Conference team. Seniors Nick Nolte and Link Gottbeheat earned ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District honors. Nolte was also named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America team. In the spring, Boyle earned membership into one of the nation’s oldest and most widely known academic honor society, Phi Beta Kappa. Since the transition to Division I, eight Fighting Sioux defenders have been named to the Great West All-Conference team and nine have been named academic all-conference. In 2007, Mannausau’s defensive unit led the North Central Conference in total defense and passing efficiency and placed five players on the All-NCC first or second team defense. In 2006, Mannausau helped mastermind the NCC’s top-ranked defense in terms of scoring average, holding opponents to 18.8 points per game. He also tutored All-NCC first team inside linebacker Dan Ullsperger. In 2005, under Mannausau, UND’s defensive linemen accounted for 21.5 sacks among the team’s league-high 42, and Ross Brennan and Jason Peterson each earned All-NCC first team honors. A pair of Mannausau’s players earned All-North Central Conference honors in 2004: Peterson and junior defensive tackle Shane Duchscher. Under the watch of Mannausau, UND led the NCC with 37 quarterback sacks. Mannausau previously served as the head football coach at Grand Forks Red River High School in 2003.

John Kelling is in his sixth season as UND’s defensive backs coach and was promoted to co-defensive coordinator prior to the 2006 season. Under Kelling, the 2009 Fighting Sioux collected 10 interceptions — the same amount tallied by the year’s opponents combined. Junior Joel Schwenzfeier accounted for half of those and tied the UND single-game record of three during the season opener at Texas Tech (Sept. 5). The UND secondary boasted 13 pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries. A Great West All-Conference second team selection, sophomore Dominique Hawkins led the team and ranked 12th in the conference with 61 tackles (42 unassisted). The 2008 UND defense finished second in the Great West Conference in scoring defense and opponent first downs. That year, eight UND defenders finished in the top 50 in the conference in tackles, including safety Rory Manke, a 2008 ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America first team selection, who ranked fourth with an average of 6.3 tackles per game. UND’s defense led the North Central Conference in pass efficiency defense in three of Kelling’s four years on the staff and, in 2007, the Sioux also led the league in total defense. Senior cornerback Donovan Alexander earned All-NCC first team honors and currently plays for the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders. In 2006, Kelling’s first season as co-defensive coordinator, the Sioux led the NCC in scoring defense, allowing just under 19 points per game. Two members of Kelling’s secondary – cornerbacks Jason Hoffschneider and Alexander – earned all-conference honors. All-America safety Danny Gagner earned his second straight NCC Most Valuable Defensive Back nod in 2005, while capturing all-conference honors with fellow defensive backs Josh Brandsted and Jason Hoffschneider. In 2004, his first season with the Sioux, Kelling’s secondary was the stingiest in the NCC, allowing a league-leading 158.8 passing yards per game. UND also led the league in pass defense efficiency. Prior to arriving at UND, Kelling served eight years on the Augustana (S.D.) staff, as a wide receivers coach and strength coach. He coached one of the most prolific receiving duos in NCAA Division II history in 2000 in Matt Holmlund and Ryan Nodland. The pair, both All-NCC first team selections, racked up 502 receptions in their careers under Kelling’s tutelage. “JK”, as he is affectionately known by his colleagues, has enjoyed many successes in his coaching career. The list of accomplishments his players have achieved under his direction include: one current NFL player, two Harlon Hill finalists, six All-Americans, 14 first-team all-conference players, including two most valuable receivers and two most valuable defensive backs.

Greg breitbach
Offensive coordinator
Wide receivers/ Recruiting coordinator
Year at UND: 5th year Collegiate Experience: 17th year Hometown: Baker, Mont. Alma Mater: Montana-Western (‘94)
Year at UND: 11th year Collegiate Experience: 13th year Hometown: Bloomington, Minn. Alma Mater: Gustavus Adolphus (‘96)
Greg Breitbach is in his third season as UND’s offensive coordinator and his fifth season overall with the Fighting Sioux. He moved to his current position after spending two years as the team’s running backs coach.
Receivers coach Tim Belmore is in his 11th season as wide receivers coach with the Fighting Sioux. In 2009, he also added recruiting coordinator to his list of duties.
Under the guidance of Breitbach last year, UND produced its 15th straight season with over 3,400 yards of total offense. Ismael Bamba (WR), Mitch Sutton (RB), and Jake Landry (QB) ranked high in the Great West Conference in their respective categories and Sutton was named the 2009 GWC Rookie of the Year.
Under Belmore’s watch, Fighting Sioux receivers have continued to produce big numbers year in and year out. For five straight seasons, UND receivers have recorded over 2,000 yards and averaged nearly 200 yards per game.
In his first year as offensive coordinator, Breitbach guided quarterback Danny Freund into history, as he became the first at UND to throw for over 300 yards three times in back-to-back seasons. Freund completed a school-record 72 percent of his passes during his final season. Breitbach also coached the Sioux to high rushing numbers, as Josh Murray led the team and the Great West Conference with 1,146 yards rushing. He was the only player in the conference to register a 200-plus yard game—which he did twice—and was the league leader in 100-yard rushing performances (four). Since Breitbach was elevated to offensive coordinator and UND began the transition to NCAA Division I status, the Fighting Sioux have had four offensive players named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America football team and 11 have been named Great West All-Conference. In 2007, Breitbach mentored All-America running back Ryan Chappell, who set a UND single-season record with 2,180 all-purpose yards, including a schoolrecord 306 rushing yards against Central Washington. As a team, the Sioux ran for more than 2,800 yards during the regular season, the team’s highest output in 33 years. In 2006, his first season on the Sioux staff, Breitbach coached a freshman Chappell to a record-breaking season that saw Chappell become just one of two freshmen to earn All-NCC honors. The offensive unit ranked third in the NCC in rushing offense, averaging nearly 160 yards per game and just under five yards per carry. Breitbach came to UND after spending each of the previous three seasons as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks and receivers coach at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. He also doubled as the school’s Health Enhancement Center Facility Director. While at UWSP, Breitbach helped the Pointers set several offensive team records, including points per game (39.4) and single-season completion percentage (66.1). Breitbach’s 2003 offense led the nation in touchdown passes and ranked among the top 10 nationally in five other offensive categories. That season quarterback Scott Krause garnered Division III All-America first team honors and would later win a Grey Cup championship with the Canadian Football League’s Toronto Argonauts in 2004. In his three seasons at UWSP, the Pointers averaged 415 yards of total offense and 30 points per game. Prior to UWSP, Breitbach had stints as special teams coordinator and receivers coach at Lewis & Clark College (1999-2002) and assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at the University of Montana-Western (1996-1998). He also spent the 1993 and 1994 seasons as a graduate assistant at Montana Western. During his time at Lewis & Clark, Breitbach helped tutor the highest-ranked offense in the conference, and twice helped direct the league’s top passing unit. At Montana-Western his offense broke three offensive school records. Breitbach received his bachelor’s degree in business education from the University of Montana-Western in 1994 and his master’s degree in education administration from Portland State University in 2002. He played two seasons each at Dickinson (N.D.) State University (1989-90) and Montana-Western (199192). He and his wife, Kara, have three children: daughters Alaina (8) and Jenna (5), and son, Trent (2).

A sophomore in 2009, Ismael Bamba topped the roster with 859 receiving yards (78.1/game). Among receivers in the Great West Conference, he ranked third in receiving yards per game and fifth in receptions per game. Bamba was one of two players in the conference to log more that three 100-yard receiving performances. As UND’s featured wide receiver in 2008, Brady Trenbeath led UND with 859 yards and eight touchdowns. He ranked high in the Great West Conference as he produced four 100-yard performances and was one of three players in the league to record a 200-yard game. He was selected to the 2008 ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America second team and was a Great West all-conference team member. After just three years on the roster, Trenbeath finished his career ranked second all-time in receptions (183) and receiving yards (2,341). Prior to the move to Division I, Weston Dressler became a Harlon Hill Trophy finalist as the top player in Division II football and also became just the fourth player in North Central Conference history to be named to four straight All-NCC first teams. Dressler, who now plays with the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders, graduated with nearly every school receiving record to his name and graduated in the top 20 in Division II history in receptions and touchdown receptions. Playing alongside Dressler in 2006, Trenbeath, then a freshman, established UND rookie records for receptions and receiving yards. Belmore tutored the NCC’s receptions leader in three of the last four seasons and the league’s receiving yardage leader in 2007. In 2003, senior wide receiver Willis Stattelman led all NCAA Division II players with 97 catches, while also becoming just the third receiver in school history to amass 1,000 receiving yards in a season, joining Ron Gustafson and Jesse Smith. In 2002, Belmore coached Jesse Smith to the highest receiving yardage total (1,011) since Gustafson’s team-record 1,210 yards in 1973. Smith’s 70 catches were also the second-best ever by a Sioux receiver at the time (now fourth-best) and Smith was named an All-NCC first team selection at the conclusion of the 2002 season. The previous two years, Belmore worked with Fighting Sioux wide receiver Dan Graf, who earned first team All-NCC honors in 2000 and 2001 and made three All-America teams in 2001. Prior to UND, Belmore spent two seasons at South Dakota State University, where he was a graduate assistant and coached the wide receivers. A Bloomington, Minn., native, Belmore attended Gustavus Adolphus College, receiving a bachelor’s degree in communications in 1996. He was a four-year letterwinner and all-conference performer in football. After graduation, he coached for two seasons at Gustavus and served as recruiting coordinator. Belmore’s younger brother, Chris, was a quarterback for the Fighting Sioux from 2003-06 and ranks among the top 10 in virtually every passing category at UND.

A member of the 2008 ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America football team, he became the second player in UND history to earn back-to-back first team honors. Along with Braeglemann, fellow lineman Brian Troen was also named GWC allconference. Carey spent the 2007 season as the offensive line coach at Illinois State University, a Division I-Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) program, where he coached an offensive line that paved the way for three 100-yard rushers in single game (vs. Murray St.) that year.

Prior to his stint at Illinois State, Carey was a member of the coaching staff at the University of Wisconsin-Stout from 2000-06, where he served as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. Carey’s offensive units averaged nearly 400 yards per game during his seven seasons, while setting 14 school records. Some of those records include Luke Bungaard who broke the all-time conference rushing record in the WIAC (2003) and Nick Ohman, who became only the second All-America quarterback in school history (2004). Carey also coached offensive lineman Ben Knepper the most decorated player ever to come through UW-Stout, earning a multitude of All-American and allconference honors.

A 1994 graduate of Indiana University with a bachelor’s degree, Carey was a three-year starter at center for the Hoosiers from 1989 to 1993. He served as a team captain and earned the team’s Corby Davis Outstanding Offensive Player award as a senior. Carey’s family includes his wife, Tonya, and their two children: daughter Kennedi (6) and son Charlie (3).
Last season, UND led the Great West in both field goals and extra points. Kicker Brandon Hellevang was the league leader in both categories finishing 15-for-18 (.833) in field goals and 27-for-28 (.964) in PATs. He recorded two of the GWC’s longest field goals (52 yards) and kicked the season’s longest punt (72 yards). On kick returns, Ismael Bamba and Dominique Hawkins averaged 21 yards. Bamba tallied the Great West’s longest kick return when he went 95 yards for a touchdown against Stephen F. Austin (Sept 26). They also tallied 15 tackles for loss (44 yards), four sacks, three interceptions, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. Andrew Miller was named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District first team and was a member of the FCS ADA Academic All-Star team. He was also awarded the NCAA postgraduate scholarship and the FCS ADA postgraduate scholarship. In his first year back with the Sioux in 2008, Kotelnicki guided the Great West Conference’s top kick return team, which totalled 1,090 yards on 46 returns for an average of 23.7 yards per game. UND’s leading kick returner, Hawkins, led the league with an average of 24.7 return yards per game. Bamba registered the league’s second-longest return when he went 75 yards against Western Washington (Oct. 18). Kotelnicki spent the 2007 season as a defensive graduate assistant at Kansas State University, where he coached the outside linebackers and assisted with special teams. Ian Campbell was a unanimous first team All-Big 12 selection as an outside linebacker. Kansas State also ranked second nationally in punt return average. Deion Murphy received first team All-Big 12 honors as a return specialist. Prior to that, Kotelnicki was the defensive coordinator at Truman State (Mo.) University in 2006, where he helped the Bulldogs to a four-win improvement from the previous season and their best defensive year since 2002. The Bulldogs scoring defense improved from ninth in the MIAA in 2005 to tied for fourth in 2006. While at UND from 2004 to 2005, the Sioux went 21-6 and boasted one of the top defensive units in Division II in each of those two seasons. During that time Tony Hermes (2004) and Tyler Dahlen (2005) received first team All-NCC honors while Brook Maier (2005) and Tyler Dahlen (2004) received second team All-NCC honors.

Fighting Sioux 2010 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL
QUARTERBACKS The quarterback position is an experienced group in 2010. Jake Landry (Grand Forks, N.D.) returns as the starting quarterback for the Fighting Sioux and after a successful junior season, he is ready to resume the leadership role. Landry’s play-making ability and game management will be important to the offensive success.
At fullback, junior Catlin Solum (Fargo, N.D.) is penciled in as the starter after spending the previous two seasons as a back up running back. Solum had an outstanding spring and appears to have found a home at the position. He has embraced the position change and has the tools to be a great fullback with his outstanding blocking and receiving abilities.
Junior Brent Goska Magstadt will not (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) is only add depth at the coming off of a successful running back position sophomore campaign.

All five players again look to Sutton for played significant roles an outstanding 2010 on special teams in 2009 season. and look to contribute to the upcoming Junior Josh Murray season.

As a (Bellevue, Neb.) and sophomore in 2008, Blair Townsend (Coon Sophomore Mitch Sutton Murray led the Sioux in Rapids, Minn.) had rushing (1,146 yards) great spring seasons and scoring (12 touchdowns) and added 21 after redshirting in 2009. Both will compete receptions for 187 yards. He was named to for playing time and provide great athletic the GWC All-Conference first team. ability for the Sioux offense. The duo of Sutton and Murray will give the Fighting Sioux some much-needed depth at the running back position. Both players have proven their ability to run the ball effectively as well as catch passes out of the backfield.
Incoming freshmen R.J. McGill (Phoenix, Ariz.), Tyhre Ivory (Garland, Texas) and Isaac Carrasco (Arlington, Texas) will provide athleticism and depth for the Sioux scout teams.
Adding depth to the position will be sophomore Ethan Magstadt (Maple Grove, Minn.), who looks to return from an injury he sustained this past spring, and freshman Spencer Bickel (Minot, N.D.).
TIGHT ENDS The tight ends are led by first-year starter Seth Wisthoff (Glenburn, N.D.). Wisthoff was a significant contributor on special teams last year and gained valuable experience in tight end and short yardage situations.
Nick Long (Andover, Minn.), Brendan Mochoruk (East Grand Forks, Minn.) and Joe Kingery (Bemidji, Minn.) will all compete for playing time after strong spring practices and incoming freshmen Taylor Grant (Eden Prairie, Minn.) and Tyler Jenson (Waupaca, Wis.) will play significant roles on the scout teams. OFFENSIVE LINE Seniors Creighton Schroyer (Pipestone, Minn.) and Keith Queoff (Milwaukee, Wis.) will anchor the offensive line. Both seniors will be looked upon to provide leadership and hard-nosed play for the Sioux, who are looking to improve on their consistency and toughness.
Juniors Connor McKendry (Costa Mesa Calif.) and Brandon Quesenberry (Billings, Mont.), along with sophomores Ian McGurran (Fargo, N.D.), Emmett Lynch (Lester Prairie, Minn.) and Caleb Gillson (Buyck, Minn.), will usher in a redshirt freshmen class of Joe Kleason (St. Paul, Minn.), Darren Denui (Chancellor, S.D.), Jake Hoerchner (Menomonee Fall, Wis.), and Caleb Nelson (Norman, N.D.). While this group has had its individual successes in the past, these “hogs” know they must become the strength of a young Fighting Sioux offense. DEFENSIVE LINE UND’s defensive line returns a solid group of veterans and welcomes some new faces to the football program. Defensive end will be led by two returning starters and two underclassmen. Three of the four defensive ends return with valuable experience from last year and showed signs of big play capabilities during the spring. Junior Broc Bellmore (West Fargo, N.D.) and sophomore Ross Brenneman (Omaha, Neb.) will assume the starting roles heading into fall camp. Bellmore and Brenneman each are poised to have breakout seasons in the Great West Conference. Both players will be pushed by sophomore Jay Nelson (Wheaton, Minn.) and freshman Seth Stanchik (Hudson, Wis.), who had outstanding spring seasons. Look for redshirt freshmen Brock Lundeen (Huber Heights, Ohio) and Brent Cole (Warroad, Minn.) to provide depth early in the season. Among the newcomers to defensive end is Spencer Cummings (Hugo, Minn.), who is coming off of a successful career at White Bear Lake High School. Cummings has outstanding athleticism for a big man and has a promising future in the program. Ekenna Anya-Gafu (Sacramento, Calif.), will bring explosive athletic ability.

Fighting Sioux
2010 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL Senior Ty Boyle (International Falls, Minn.) will assume the role as the starting nose guard. Boyle, who earned Great West All-Conference honors as a sophomore and junior, is poised for a great final campaign. Sophomore Devin Benjamin (Minneapolis, Minn.) will enter the season having had a great spring and has positioned himself to share playing time with Boyle. Benjamin has improved his strength and quickness over the last two years and is showing the attributes needed to be an outstanding nose guard in North Dakota’s 3-4 system.

Sophomore Mitch Goertz (Rothschild, Wis.) and redshirt freshmen Garrison Goodman (Danville, Calif.) and Brian Otto (West Allis, Wis.) will all battle for playing time. Incoming freshmen Ben Peters (Hamilton, Ariz.) and Joey Walker (San Jose, Calif.) are both talented young players that will be redshirting in UND’s system.
SECONDARY Only two seniors grace the Sioux secondary Freshman Ben Henson this year but that (Buffalo, Minn.), who is set doesn’t mean it is Senior Ty Boyle to start his career this fall, devoid of experience; has the size and strength four safeties and three needed to become a outstanding nose during corners have played significant minutes on his career at UND. the UND secondary. OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS The outside linebackers will have a mix of experience and youth. Seniors this year include team captain and 2009 Great West All-Conference first team selection Ryan Kasowski (Grand Forks, N.D.) and Ross Cochran (Kenosha, Wis.). Kasowski is the unquestioned leader of the group, while Cochran will bring energy and toughness.
The two seniors are Joel Schwenzfeier (Hallock, Minn.) and Kris Ankenbauer (Murphy, Texas). The two of them started almost every game last fall and retained that position after spring practices. Schwenzfeier and Ankenbauer finished third and fourth, respectively, last year in total tackles.
Redshirt freshmen Cordero Finley (Kenosha, Wis.), Dominique Bennett (DeSoto, Texas) and Damon Andrews (West Concord, Minn.) will all play important roles on defense and will provide major contributions to special teams after having good spring practices.
Schwenzfeier has great instincts for the ball and led the team in interceptions (five). With the experience he gained last season, he has set himself up to have an even better finish this year. Ankenbauer led the team last year in fumble recoveries (two) and continually displays a knack to make big plays.

depth as his skills continue to improve. Bailey Carr (Hazen, N.D.) is the only incoming safety this year for the Sioux. The corners are dominated by juniors. Dominique Hawkins (Rockford, Minn.) is one of many returning starters from last year’s squad and has gained valuable experience the past two seasons. He led the team last year in pass breakups (four) and was first on the team in tackles (61). Mitch Kudrna (Dickinson, N.D.) and Kenny Watkins (Plano, Texas) both had good spring practices. Both saw significant playing time in 2009 and will make large contributions to this year’s team. Sophomore Ben Buchl (Kasson, Minn.) made every road trip for the Sioux last year and, with a solid fall camp, he will push the upperclassmen for playing time. Chavon Mackey (Jacksonville, Fla.) and Chris Hall (Jacksonville, Fla.), the two redshirt freshmen, both had great springs and will be counted upon to impact the Sioux this year. SPECIAL TEAMS UND will have to replace one of the program’s most successful kickers/punters, Brandon Hellevang, who graduated last spring. Taking over the punting duties full-time will be sophomore Brett Cameron (Winnipeg, Manitoba), who saw spot play last year and had an impressive 44.9-yard punting average. Taking over the kicking duties will be redshirt freshman Zeb Miller (Ankeny, Iowa). Miller possesses a strong leg and impressed the coaching staff in spring drills with his power and accuracy. Sophomore Erik Mersereau (PortWashington, Wis) is back on punt return for the Fighting Sioux. After taking over the starting position halfway through the 2009 season, Mersereau averaged 19.0 yards per return. He will be joined on kick return by junior Dominique Hawkins (Plymouth, Minn.). Hawkins has returned kickoffs for two seasons and last year averaged 17.7 yards per return. Sophomore Seth Wisthoff (Glenburn, N.D.) will again handle the short-snapping duties while sophomore Jay Nelson (Wheaton, Minn.) will takeover the long-snapping position. Sophomore Marcus Hendrickson (Perham, Minn.) returns to hold for field goals and extra points.

2010 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL 2009 Great West All-Conference team
Chris Carter started out his collegiate career at UC Davis as the Great West Rookie of the Year in 2006 after catching 54 passes for 703 yards and five touchdowns, earning second-team All-Great West accolades. After losing most of the 2007 season due to injury, Carter came back strong in 2008 with 69 catches and 768 yards, earning first-team honors. This year, he went another step further with 85 catches for 889 yards to become the Aggies’ all-time reception leader with 213. For all he did on the field in helping UC Davis win its second Great West title, Carter was named Great West Offensive Player of the Year in a vote of the coaches. Other major award winners were Mike Morales of UC Davis as Defensive Player of the Year, punter Trevor Ward from Southern Utah as Special Teams Player of the Year, running back Mitch Sutton from North Dakota as the Rookie of the Year and Bob Biggs from UC Davis as Coach of the Year. “Chris Carter, as I’ve been quoted, I think he may be the finest wide receiver that’s played here,” said Biggs. “He just seemed to come up big even though everybody knew he was the intended receiver and intended target for Greg Denham often times. He still was able to manage to get open. He caught everything that was thrown his way. He just made so many big plays. And I don’t mean big plays in the sense that they were touchdowns, or big scoring plays, but I just mean critical first downs and getting the extra yardage to get a first down to keep the drive going. And certainly it’s well-deserved.” Morales, a senior from Los Altos, Calif., led UC Davis with 81 tackles, 44 of those solo, 4.5 tackles for loss and five passes defended, and was named Great West Defensive Player of the Week in back-to-back weeks late in the season as the Aggies beat Cal Poly and North Dakota to clinch the title. He is the second straight Aggie to win the league’s top defensive honor after John Faletoese took home the 2008 award. Ward, a senior from Ogden, Utah, should be on every all-America list after averaging 48.0 yards per punt this season, but his 35 attempts is not enough to rank him among the national leaders. While his average would lead the country, Ward’s punting efforts have Southern Utah leading the country in net punting at 45.50, a whopping 5.8 net yards ahead of the second-ranked team. Sutton, a 6-0, 201-pound running back from Plover, Wis., finished the season with 689 yards rushing, which ranks second in the Great West. He is averaged 4.6 yards per game with six touchdowns. In league play, he led the conference by averaging 107.3 yards per game, including a 190-yard game vs. South Dakota and a 143-yard effort vs. Cal Poly, both North Dakota victories. Biggs was named Great West Coach of the Year for the first time as he led the Aggies to their first winning season in three seasons and the first outright Great West title. A winner of 130 games in 17 years at UC Davis, Biggs was named a finalist for the prestigious Eddie Robinson Award, given annually to the top coach in the FCS ranks. Counting Carter and Ward, there were nine individuals who repeated as first-team all-conference members - WR Tysson Poots, LB Robert Takeno, DB Akeem Anifowoshe and DB Colin Pretlow from Southern Utah, C Tommy Hernandez and TE Dean Rogers from UC Davis and DB Asa Jackson from Cal Poly. In total, UC Davis led first-team selections with 10 members while Southern Utah followed with eight and South Dakota had four. Cal Poly placed seven members on the second team, while North Dakota and South Dakota had seven each. 102 2009 season in review :: gwc HONORS

North Dakota. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 Texas Tech. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38
LUBBOCK, Texas – It was arguably the most talked about game of the summer — the University of North Dakota opening the 2009 football season against Texas Tech, its first BCS conference opponent since 1976. It was an action-packed, hard-fought game on both ends, but when the final whistle sounded Texas Tech defeated UND 38-13.
Junior Jake Landry (Grand Forks, N.D.) finished his first start at quarterback with 134 yards on 20-for-28 passing. He used seven different receivers and went the full 60 minutes without an interception. Redshirt freshman running back Mitch Sutton led the Sioux in both rushing and receiving. The Plover, Wis., native finished with 32 yards on the ground and another 25 in the air. He scored UND’s lone touchdown at 11:51 in the fourth quarter with a 9-yard run into the left corner of the end zone. UND’s other seven points were scored off of the foot of senior kicker Brandon Hellevang. The Fargo, N.D., put the Sioux on the board with six seconds left in the first quarter with a 39-yard field goal. Late in the second quarter, he snuck in a 52-yard kick to put the score at 21-6. The final point followed Sutton’s TD. Another Sioux making great plays on the field was junior safety Joel Schwenzfeier (Hallock, Minn.), who finished with a career-high seven solo tackles and three interceptions. His three pickoffs tied a 15-yearold UND single- game record. His number one target, a preseason Biletnikoff trophy candidate, Detron Lewis recorded 146 receiving yards, including a 49-yard touchdown reception. TTU’s top rusher was Baron Batch who finished with 32 yards on nine carries and one touchdown run. Defensively, Marlon Williams led the Red Raiders with 8.5 tackles (seven solo), including two sacks. Rajon Heley and Daniel Howard recorded one sack apiece. The Fighting Sioux will have next weekend off. They will return to action on Sept. 19 with another southern road game. This time the Sioux road show will take place in Natchitoches, La., against Northwestern State. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Central. GAME NOTES: This is the 115th season of football at UND ... Hellevang’s 52-yard field goal was the secondlongest of his career. The longest ever at UND was a 59-yard field goal by Cameron Peterka. Peterka did so twice. First, at St. Cloud State (Nov. 4, 2000) and then again on Nov. 24, 2001 against Pittsburgh State … Today’s attendance of 47,824 is just 3,013 less than UND’s total Alerus attendance last season.

NATCHITOCHES, La. – With several big plays by the North Dakota defensive unit, the Fighting Sioux put an end to Northwestern State’s three-year, home-opener winning streak with a convincing 27-20 victory over the Demons in front of a crowd of 10,258. Defense was key as UND stopped NWLA on three of its four fourth-down attempts. On two of those occasions, the Demons needed just one yard for the first down.
In front of a crowd of 47,824, the Fighting Sioux (0-1, 0-0 GWC) held their own against the defending Big 12 South Division champion Texas Tech (1-0, 0-0 Big 12) – despite what the numbers might say. “Well, the thing I told our team throughout the game was to compete,” head coach Chris Mussman said. “They were not intimidated by the atmosphere. They weren’t intimidated by the quality opponent they were facing. They just went out there and worked hard every snap. That is really all a coach can ask for no matter who they are playing.”

The UND defense was also credited with four points off of a pair of safeties. The first came with four minutes remaining in the third quarter when redshirt freshman Mitch Sutton (Plover, Wis.) blocked a NWLA punt on the 17-yard line. The second came in the final minutes of the game after the Demons gained possession just outside their own goal line. Following an unsuccessful three-play drive, UND looked to kick a 52-yard field goal, but instead Hellevang took a direct-snap and quick kicked the ball inside the 5-yard line. Junior Ross Cochran (LB, Kenosha, Wis.) was able to stop the ball before it rolled into the end zone to put NWLA on its own 2-yard line. On the ensuing snap, the ball sailed high over the hands of Wolfe and out of bounds for the UND safety. The UND defense was led by junior Kris Ankenbauer (DB, Murphy, Texas), who had eight tackles (five solo) and two fumble recoveries. Sophomore Dominique Hawkins (CB, Plymouth, Minn.) and senior Ryan Pollow (LB, Germantown, Wis.) each had six tackles, including one each for a loss. Offensively, Sutton led the Sioux with 99 total yards. He gained 74 yards on two carries and another 12 yards on a single reception. His final 17 yards came off of a 17-yard touchdown pass to junior Ryan Dressler (WR, Bismarck, N.D.) at 7:19 of the second quarter. Along with his TD pass and safety, he also ran in his own six points. After taking a direct snap, Sutton took the ball 47 yards down the far sideline and into the end zone for his second touchdown in two games. Sophomore Ismael Bamba (Montreal, Quebec) finished with a career-high 98 yards receiving, including a 55-yard touchdown reception. Junior quarterback Jake Landry (Grand Forks, N.D.) went 12-for-20 for 156 yards with one interception. North Dakota will remain on the road as the team heads back south again next Saturday to take on Stephen F. Austin at 6 p.m. in Nacogdoches, Texas.

“USD is a good football team and Noah Shepard is a heck of a football player,” said head coach Chris Mussman. “That team is going to do some damage before the season is over.
The Fighting Sioux were able to net a season-high 299 yards total offense, but that was topped by 643yard Lumberjack showing.

104 2009 season in review :: GAME RECAPS
It was the seventh consecutive Homecoming victory for UND (2-2, 1-0 GWC). The victory came in front of the largest home-opening crowd (12,431) at the Alerus Center in program history. “The crowd was awesome,” said Mussman. “It was as loud as I have ever heard it on some of those downs. I give our fans credit. They really came out today. It was a great atmosphere for our players to play in. “They (the Alerus Center) made this place look even more like the home of Sioux football and today running out of the helmet will be an experience our players will never forget.” Junior Jake Landry (QB, Grand Forks, N.D.) threw for a career-high 270 yards (16-of-25) and two touchdowns as UND defeated South Dakota for the 13th time in the last 14 meetings between the rivals. Landry’s favorite target was sophomore Ismael Bamba (WR, Montreal, Quebec), who had six catches for a career-high 141 yards. The Sioux defense tightened up in the second half, holding the Coyotes scoreless and to just 114 yards of offense after the break. Defensive back Joel Schwenzfeier (Jr., Hallock, Minn.) led the defensive efforts with eight tackles, including three for a loss and also forced a fumble. Linebacker Curtis Dublanko (Jr., Thorsby, Alberta) also finished with a career-high eight tackles (seven solo) and registered his second pass breakup of the season. GAME NOTES: Game captains: Marcus Tibesar, Andrew Miller, Nathan Wayne, and Jeff Tescher ... Saturday’s game marked the 91st meeting between the Fighting Sioux and the Coyotes ... UND leads the series 58-28-5 since 1903 ... North Dakota is now 10-0 against South Dakota on Homecoming and is 2-0 when that game is played on Oct. 3. Overall, the Sioux hold a 8-5-2 record on the third day of October and are 43-32 on Homecoming ... With the win, Mussman is now 8-6 at UND ... UND now has an all-time record of 597-355-30 ...

Saturday, October 10, 2009 Alerus Center | Grand Forks, N.D.
Stony Brook. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 North Dakota. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 47TH ANNUAL POTATO BOWL
The Sioux offense woke up in the second half after a sluggish start to help register the second straight home win (3-2, 1-0 GWC). However, it was the Sioux defense that actually propelled the team to a 14-7 advantage at the half. The biggest of the three turnovers for the Sioux came in the final minute of the first half when defensive back Dominique Hawkins (So., Plymouth, Minn.) returned an interception 35 yards for a touchdown.
Before Hawkins’ dramatic play, Stony Brook opened the scoring in the first quarter when Matt Brevi ran a screen pass in from nine yards out. That would be the lone score of the opening 30 minutes of play for Stony Brook, despite gaining 183 yards of total offense in the first half. With its offense sputtering, UND’s defense came up with a pair of big plays to vault the Sioux into the lead. The home team turned two Michael Clouter interceptions into what proved to be 14 much-needed points. Defensive back Joel Schwenzfeier (Jr., Hallock, Minn.) corralled the first one and returned it to the Stony Brook 22-yard line. UND quickly took advantage, using just four plays from there to tie the game up at 7-7 on a 2-yard rushing score by running back Jarrel Davis (Jr., Miami, Fla.) early in the second quarter. The Seawolves had a chance to take the lead on the ensuing possession, but a 42-yard field goal attempt by Wesley Skiffington went wide right. After the teams swapped punts, Clouter’s second mishap of the game proved even more costly late in the half as Hawkins returned it 35 yards to give the Sioux their first lead of the game at 14-7 with just 37 seconds remaining in the half. The Sioux offense used the 15-minute break at halftime to regroup as sophomore Jake Landry (QB, Grand Forks, N.D.) led the team on an eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive on its first possession of the second half. Landry capped the drive by connecting with wide receiver Ismael Bamba (So., Montreal, Quebec) on a 21-yard scoring strike to put the Sioux ahead 21-7. Bamba finished with his third consecutive 100-yard receiving game, hauling in seven passes for 118 yards. Clouter and the Seawolf offense responded with a sevenplay, 72-yard drive of its own to cut the deficit back to a touchdown. After blocking a 52-yard field goal attempt by Brandon Hellevang (Sr., Fargo, N.D.), the Seawolves were marching down the field for an apparent tying score before the Sioux defense forced its third turnover of the game. Defensive back Tyson Heiser (Sr., Waunakee, Wis.) recovered a fumble by Seawolf running back Conte Cuttino and, for the third time in the game, the Sioux turned the miscue into a touchdown. Landry capped a six-play, 82-yard drive

Sioux Falls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 North Dakota. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 GRAND FORKS, N.D. – University of Sioux Falls senior quarterback Lorenzo Brown threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score in leading the Cougars to a stunning 28-13 victory over the Fighting Sioux on Saturday at the Alerus Center. The loss was the first of the season for the Sioux (3-3) on their home field, while the defending NAIA national champions remained undefeated at 7-0. Brown accounted for 337 of his team’s 360 yards as he threw for a game-high 237 yards and ran for a game-high 100 yards.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. - The University of North Dakota football team scored 21 points off a trio of Stony Brook turnovers as the Fighting Sioux defeated the Seawolves 31-24 in the 44th annual Potato Bowl USA at the Alerus Center on Saturday.

“Dominique’s interception was a big play for us,” UND head coach Chris Mussman said. “We didn’t play well in the first half, but all it takes sometimes is one big play. That really gave us some momentum going into halftime and our offense responded with a nice score on the first possession of the second half to settle us down.”

“The biggest thing is we got beat,” UND head coach Chris Mussman said. “You give them the credit. They came in here and beat us in all facets of the game. Offensively, they were better.

with a one-yard touchdown plunge to push the Sioux lead to 28-14. The visitors would not give in as Stony Brook once again answered the Sioux touchdown with one of its own. That would be as close as the Seawolves would get as the teams exchanged field goals in the final eight minutes to cap the scoring at 31-24. UND iced the game by running out the final 3:05 of the contest after a roughing the passer call on third down extended the drive. Davis had a career-long, 46-yard rush to put the Sioux in Stony Brook territory. Davis finished with 15 rushes for 61 yards and a touchdown.

Brown tossed three touchdown passes in the opening half to give the Cougars a 21-6 advantage going into the locker room and it would be a lead the visitors would not relinquish. Brown’s first scoring toss to Scott LeBrun from seven yards out put USF ahead 7-0 in the first quarter. The teams swapped punts before the Sioux cracked the scoreboard early in the second with a 23yard field goal by placekicker Brandon Hellevang (Sr., Fargo, N.D.). Brown and the Cougars did not relent and built their lead to 11 when the Bristol, Conn., native connected with Brad Theilen on a 12-yard scoring strike with 10:29 remaining in the half. USF then took advantage of the first turnover by UND in three home games this season. Cougar defensive back Trevor Holleman picked off UND quarterback Jake Landry (Jr., Grand Forks, N.D.) and returned the interception 34 yards to USF 49-yard line. Four plays later Brown found Alex Anderson from 32 yards out to make the Sioux deficit 21-3. On the ensuing possession, the Sioux scored points but once again had to settle for a field goal as Hellevang sent his second kick through the posts from 43 yards out. The Cougars outgained the home team 195-162 in the opening half as Brown went 13 for 22 for 145 yards and also added 41 yards on the ground, accounting for all but 10 of USF’s yardage. “I cannot give them enough credit,” Mussman added. “They made the plays when they had to. They had huge third-down conversions throughout the game and they kept us out of the end zone, particularly in the first half.” For the third straight game, the Sioux opened the second half by scoring a touchdown on their opening drive, which cut the deficit to a single score at 21-13. Landry capped the eight-play, 64-yard drive with a 24-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Ryan Konrath (White Bear Lake, Minn.). Brown and the Cougars answered right back though as this time the USF quarterback used his legs to find the end zone, scoring on a five-yard run to push their lead back to 15 at 28-13. Following a UND punt, USF held the ball for the remainder of the third period, but got zero points out of a drive that lasted more than nine minutes as a Braden Weiking missed on a 28-yard field goal attempt. The Sioux had opportunities late in the contest to get back within a touchdown, but the Cougar defense

Sitake led both teams with 114 all-purpose yards. He was joined over the 100-yard mark by teammate Austin Minefee, who recorded 105 yards. On the ensuing drive, the Fighting Sioux worked their way down to the SUU 9-yard line, but a trio of incomplete passes forced UND to bring out the field goal unit. With the 26-yard kick from senior Brandon Hellevang (K/P, Fargo, N.D.), UND made the score 14-3 with just over six minutes left to go in the half. Before the break, the T-Birds would take advantage of a fumbled punt to up their lead to 21-3 with another receiving touchdown. The Fighting Sioux had similar issues in the third quarter as they did in the first half as first downs were few. UND managed only two first downs in the third quarter in comparison to SUU’s seven. On the defensive side, sophomore Dominique Hawkins (Plymouth, Minn.) led both teams with a career-high 12 tackles (five solo). Juniors Ryan Kasowski (Grand Forks, N.D.) and Curtis Dublanko (Thorsby, Alberta) both picked up sacks for the Sioux. Trailing 35-3 with just over four minutes remaining in the game, backup quarterback Brent Goska (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) moved the ball 39 yards on six plays and finally into the end zone. The entire one-minute, 46-second drive was made up of Goska rushes with a final eight-yard run pushing him into the end zone.
18/16 Cal Poly. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 North Dakota. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Passion. Focus. Intensity. Three words that came up in a lot of conversations over the past week surrounding University of North Dakota football. And passion, focus, and intensity were exactly what the Fighting Sioux brought to the field on Saturday as they upset No. 18/16 Cal Poly with a 31-17 Hall of Fame victory. After trailing 17-14 going into the second half, UND scored 17 unanswered points to take its second Great West Conference win of the season. The 14-point victory snapped a two-game skid for the Sioux (4-4, 2-1) and broke a two-game winning streak for the Mustangs (4-4, 1-1 GWC).
Southern Utah (3-4, 1-1 GWC) moved its opening drive 68 yards downfield and capped the seven-play drive with a seven-yard pass from Cade Cooper to Tysson Poots. Cooper would later hit Poots again in the end zone, this time in the third quarter to give the T-Birds a 25-point lead.
The Thunderbirds found the end zone five minutes into the second quarter as Cooper hit Fesi Sitake on a six-yard pass.

CEDAR CITY, Utah – In the second conference matchup for both teams this season, Southern Utah showed why most have been calling the Thunderbirds the most improved team in the Great West Conference.

“You have to give all of the credit in the world to our players,” said head coach Chris Mussman. “It’s a great win when there are a lot of distractions, people doubting you and our kids just buckled down and had a great week of preparation. I’m happy for our players. We looked like the hungrier, more physical team out there, especially in the second half. You saw the team that we can be. We have to play pretty perfect football. We can’t make a lot of mistakes; we have to be pretty solid. You saw that today, particularly in the second half. You saw a very solid team and a very hungry team. That’s the passion we have to have every time we play the game.” Led by redshirt freshman Mitch Sutton (RB, Plover, Wis.), UND totaled 427 total offensive yards – the most it had seen since the South Dakota game on Oct. 3. Sutton finished with 143 yards rushing on 30 attempts with a pair of touchdowns. His first TD was scored on a 10-yard run at 8:43 in the third quarter to give UND, a 21-14 advantage. His second touchdown came at 3:38 of the fourth quarter as he brought the ball in from five yards out to give UND the eventual 31-17 win. Sutton also added 45 yards on three receptions. Junior quarterback Jake Landry (Grand Forks, N.D.) was 14 for 22 to come away with 181 yards. He also racked up 92 ground yards, including a 28-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. Backup quarterback Brent Goska (So., Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) played limited, but quality time. With 40 seconds remaining in the first half, Goska jumped in to take over for Landry and came away with an eightyard touchdown strike to senior Ryan Konrath (WR, White Bear Lake, Minn.) to take the game into the break with Cal Poly leading 17-14. Wide receiver Ismael Bamba (So., Montreal, Quebec) came away with 104 yards on seven catches, including a 32-yard reception late in the third quarter to help set up a 47-yard field goal for senior Brandon Hellevang (K/P, Fargo, N.D.).

Defense was a key factor in UND’s win as the Mustangs were held to under 70 yards rushing with no touchdowns on the ground. Before today, Cal Poly was averaging 206.9 yards rushing per game. The Fighting Sioux forced three fumbles, grabbed two interceptions and sacked the quarterback twice. Junior Ryan Kasowski (Grand Forks, N.D.) and senior Link Gottbeheat (DL, Tomah, Wis.) were each credited with a solo sack and an assisted sack for a loss of eight yards a piece.
Boyle also got a hand on the 41-yard field goal attempt by Pinto, causing the ball to fly wide left.
Kasowski led UND with seven tackles (four solo) and was credited with one of the forced fumbles. The other two fumbles were caused by junior Ty Boyle (DL, International Falls, Minn.) and sophomore Dan Hendrickson (LB, Minot, N.D.). Junior Curtis Dublanko (FB, Thorsby, Alberta) recovered the ball after Boyle knocked it loose. His recovery sparked the touchdown play between Goska and Konrath.
GAME NOTES: All-time, North Dakota holds a record of 599-357-30 … Today’s crowd of 6,711 was the smallest regular-season crowd in Alerus Center history … UND’s 2009 Hall of Fame Inductees were honored at halftime, including Shannon Burnell (FB), Mikki Cochrane (SB), Janine Etchepare (SW), Dixon Ward (Hockey) and the 1993 football team.
Dublanko helped close the game out on a high note as he collected the first interception of his career and brought it back downfield 16 yards. Also in the fourth quarter, junior Joel Schwenzfeier (Hallock, Minn.) grabbed his fifth interception of the season. He is now tied with nine others at No. 9 in regular season, single-season interceptions.

Southern Oregon. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 North Dakota. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 GRAND FORKS, N.D. – In its final home game of the season, the University of North Dakota football team honored both the area troops and its 18 seniors as it defeated Southern Oregon 30-24 at the Alerus Center. The victory also marked the 600th win in Fighting Sioux football history.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. – With a chance to win its first Great West Conference championship, the University of North Dakota fell short to UC Davis as the Aggies won the title with a 28-20 victory in front of an Aggie Stadium crowd of 9,239. UC Davis quarterback Greg Denham connected on three touchdown passes and Chris Carter recorded 96 yards on nine receptions as the Aggies (6-4, 3-1 GWC) won their first outright championship.
UND trailed much of the opening half, but a pair of quick touchdowns late in the second quarter helped bring the game to a 17-17 tie heading into the break. The Sioux took the lead four minutes into the third quarter and then nearly held the Raiders silent through the remaining 16 minutes close the home season with a victory.
Sophomore Ismael Bamba (WR, Montreal, Quebec) led the offense with 134 all-purpose yards. He tallied 88 yards on eight receptions, including a six-yard touchdown reception, and added 43 yards on kick return. On defense, several players came up with some big plays. After Bamba scored UND first touchdown in the second quarter, linebacker Clayton Leith (Sr., Hawthorne, Wis.) stripped the ball from Southern Oregon’s kick returner Steve Jorgensen on the 18-yard line. Fellow linebacker Ross Cochran (Jr., Kenosha, Wis.) picked up where Leith left off and ran the ball 15 yards to the SOU 3-yard line. On the ensuing drive, Landry found an open Catlin Solum (RB, So., Fargo, N.D.) to take the game into a halftime tie. Leith finished with three solo tackles and Cochran was credited with a pair of unassisted tackles, one of which was a quarterback sack. Just inside the third quarter, sophomore Dominique Hawkins (CB, Rockford, Minn.) picked up UND’s sixth blocked kick of the season as he got a hand in front of a punt by Tyler Crowley. The ball was recovered by senior Ryan Konrath (WR, White Bear Lake, Minn.) and four plays later, the Sioux took a 20-17 lead. Linebacker Curtis Dublanko (Jr., Thorsby, Alberta) led the defense with six tackles (four unassisted) and was one of four players to pick up a quarterback sack. Juniors Joel Schwenzfeier (Hallock, Minn.), Ty Boyle (International Falls, Minn.), and Kris Ankenbauer (Murphy, Texas) and sophomore Mitch Kudrna (Dickinson, N.D.) finished with five tackles apiece. Boyle added a forced fumble and Kudrna a pass break-up. On Saturday, Nov. 14, North Dakota will vie for a Great West Conference championship when it travels to Davis, Calif., to take on UC Davis. Kickoff for the title is set for 3 p.m.

CONWAY, Ark. – For the second season in a row the University of North Dakota wrapped up its season with a close, down-to-the-wire victory. In front of 4,329 fans at First Security Field at Estes Stadium, sophomore Broc Bellmore (West Fargo, N.D.) blocked a 43-yard field goal attempt with just 17 seconds left in the game to seal a 17-16 UND victory over Central Arkansas. The block was Bellmore’s second of the game and his fourth of the season. Earlier in the quarter, Bellmore knocked down a 42-yard, Eddie Carmona attempt. After trailing the Bears through the third quarter, the Fighting Sioux (6-5, 2-2 GWC) took a 17-16 lead at 9:33 of the fourth. Senior Brandon Hellevang (Fargo, N.D.) connected from 34 yards out for his 49th career field goal and his 325th career point. With a pair of extra points, Hellevang finished his career at UND tied with Jeff Glas (2002-05) with a school-record 174 PATs. He also kicked a career-long 72-yard punt. Junior Jake Landry (Grand Forks, N.D.) completed 16 of 28 passes for his fourth 200-yard game of the season and tossed a pair of touchdowns The first came with under a minute left in the half. Hellevang split the uprights from 46 yards out, but with an offside call on the Bears, the play was called back and UND received an automatic first down at the 24-yard line. On the first play of the new drive, Landry connected with senior Kellen Leupp (WR, Stanley, N.D.) on a 16-yard pass. A holding call on UCA on the next play moved UND half the distance to the goal to the 4-yard line. After an incomplete pass to junior Ryan Dressler (WR, Bismarck, N.D.), Landry’s pass to sophomore Chris Anderson (WR, Duluth, Minn.) bounced off of UCA’s Anthony Gambles and into the air. Anderson tracked down the loose ball, brought it out of the air, and took it in for the touchdown. With the kick from Hellevang, the Sioux cut the Bear lead to 13-7. UND’s second touchdown of the game was caught by senior Noah Dombrovski (TE, Germantown, Wis.) late in the third quarter with UND down 16-7. After forcing the Bears to three-and-out, UND struck with a trio of big pass plays. On third-and-15, Landry hit wide receiver Ismael Bamba (Montreal, Quebec) on a 46-yard pass-play. After a one-yard rush, Landry found Leupp open in the middle of the field on a 24yard pass. UND closed the seven-play, 85-yard drive with a 22-yard TD pass from Landry to Dombrovski. Inside the 12-minute mark of the final quarter, Central Arkansas attempted to fake punt on fourth-and-9. The play didn’t run as well as it did the first time as safety Joel Schwenzfeier (Hallock, Minn.) stopped Jonathan Beard on the run to give UND possession at the UCA 19-yard line. Five plays later, Hellevang hit from 34-yards out to give the Sioux the 17-16 lead and the eventual win.

MISSION
It is our mission to physically and mentally prepare the student-athlete for the rigors of collegiate athletics, by implementing professionally designed, scientifically sound training programs, designed specifically to reduce the incidence of injury and help each team and student-athlete reach their full athletic potential.
Philosophy
We believe that strength and conditioning is crucial to the complete development of the student-athlete. The philosophy of our strength and conditioning program is based on the belief that what occurs in the weight room and field transfers to the playing surface. We train sport specifically with the goal of enhancing athleticism. We also believe in the importance of work ethic, attitude, accountability and mental toughness and that these qualities can be developed and enhanced through our strength and conditioning program. At the University of North Dakota, one program, functioning behind the scenes, but which should not be taken lightly, is the strength and conditioning program. The strength and conditioning program at UND is among the finest in Division I and vital to the success of all UND athletic teams. The strength and conditioning staff commits themselves to the development of size, strength, power, speed, agility, conditioning, and body composition of each student-athlete. The goal of the strength staff is to develop the athlete and team to reach their maximum potential throughout their career while staying injury free. Nate Baukol, director of strength and conditioning, oversees the program and facilities. Baukol has three full-time assistant coaches and one graduate assistant coach to assist him. Together they direct and monitor the training of over 450 studentathletes in 20 sports at UND. UND also boasts some of the finest strength training facilities around. The facilities include the Ralph Engelstad Arena weight room, the Memorial Stadium weight room, and the Hyslop Sports Center weight room.
spending as much time on physical development as any other part of their sport throughout the year. Student-athletes follow either offseason or in-season programs, which are individualized specific to the athlete and sport. Off-season programs are five days a week, summer months included. Each athlete receives a comprehensive summer training manual to follow, given that a member of the strength staff won’t be supervising them. In-season programs are typically 45-minute sessions, two to three days per week, supervised by the strength and conditioning staff. The University of North Dakota’s football weight room and locker room in Memorial Stadium offer Fighting Sioux football players outstanding facilities in which to train and prepare themselves to compete in one of the toughest conferences in FCS football. The weight training facility and equipment was provided with the assistance of Jim and Joann McKay, UND Class of 1955 and John and Brenda Miller, UND Class of 1980.

Corey Colehour
Dave Fennell
Glenn “Red” Jarrett
Colehour helped lead UND to a 25-4 record and two North Central Conference championships during his three years as the Fighting Sioux starting quarterback. During Colehour’s years, North Dakota played in its first two postseason games, winning both, and achieved a No. 10 UPI national ranking in 1965 and a No. 7 Associated Press national ranking in 1966.
A three-year starter for the Fighting Sioux, Fennell earned all-North Central Conference honors in 1973. After graduating from UND in 1974, Fennell played with the Edmonton Eskimos for 10 seasons.
Glenn “Red” Jarrett enrolled at UND in 1927 after an illustrious athletic career at Grand Forks Central High School. While at UND, he excelled in football, basketball and track, earning three letters in each sport while wearing the Green & White.
He helped guide North Dakota to conference titles in 1971 and 1972. The Fighting Sioux went 10-1 in 1972 and defeated Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo 3821 in the Camelia Bowl. During Fennell’s three seasons at UND, North Dakota went 22-8-1.
Jarrett was selected as UND’s first All-American football player in 1930, and was also named the “Back of the Year” in the same year by the New York Herald Tribune. He scored the only touchdown allowed by the great Army team of 1930, the eventual national championship team. Following that game, the New York press nicknamed Jarrett, the “Red Rabbit of the Prairie.”
Quarterback 1964-66
The 1966 team averaged 34 points per game, a scoring average exceeded only one other time in UND history (38 points per game in 1972). Colehour still holds the NCC and UND record of six touchdown passes in a single game. A team tri-captain in 1966, Colehour was All-NCC in both 1965 and 1966 and was the NCC and UND most valuable back those same years. In 1966, he was named most valuable back in the Pecan Bowl after North Dakota beat Parson 42-24. Colehour still ranks in the top 10 of virtually every UND passing category, and is tied for most career 250-yard passing games (eight) and most touchdown passes in a single season (19). Colehour became the first UND player to play in the postseason Senior Bowl all-star game (1967). He threw a touchdown pass in that game. Colehour was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the sixth round of the 1967 NFL draft and played with the Falcons in 1967 and 1968. He played with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League from 1968 through 1970.
Defensive Tackle 1971-73
Running Back 1928-30
A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Fennell was named the Outstanding Canadian Player as well as the Outstanding Defensive Player in the 1982 Grey Cup. He helped lead the Eskimos to five straight Grey Cup titles from 1978-1982. Fennell was inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame in 1990 and was named one of the CFL’s Top 50 players of the modern era by TSN in 2006. “The thing about David was that he wanted to excel,” said Jerry Olson, UND’s head coach from 1968-77. “He was big, strong, fast and very intelligent. He was a great player and a great competitor. I never saw him overmatched in any game we played.”
Following his eventful playing career at UND, Red served as UND’s head football coach in 1942 and from 1946 to 1948. He also was the head basketball coach for UND in 1945-46 and from 1949-1951, and served as the Athletic Director and head track coach from 1946 to 1958. As the Athletic Director, Red Jarrett was instrumental in UND’s move to Division 1 collegiate hockey competition in 1947, leading to one of the finest programs in the NCAA.

#54 Jim LeClair
#14 Errol Mann
#77 Steve Myhra
A first-team AFCA and AP All-America selection and the North Central Conference Most Valuable Player in 1971, Jim LeClair was one of the best linebackers ever to play at the University of North Dakota.
A two-year letter winner at UND, Errol Mann went on to enjoy a 12-year career in the National Football League. Mann was named to the all-North Central Conference team in 1965 and 1966 and set a thenschool record with 11 field goals during the 1966 North Central Conference Championship season while scoring 70 points.
Known to be the only UND football player to ever grace the cover of Life Magazine, Steve Myhra was a consensus All-America selection as an offensive guard, linebacker and place kicker for the Fighting Sioux in 1955 and 1956.
Linebacker 1970-71
LeClair, who also earned All-NCC honors in 1970 and 1971, was drafted by the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals in the third round of the 1972 draft. He became a starting middle linebacker in 1974 and was named team captain in 1975, the same year he was named Bengals MVP. LeClair was named All-Pro in 1976 and also earned first alternate All-Pro states five other seasons. The Leclair-led Bengals played San Francisco in Super Bowl XVI, which is still considered one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever to be played. The South St. Paul, Minn., native held the Bengals team captain moniker until 1983, when he began a two-year stint with the USFL’s N.J. Generals. He earned All-Pro honors in 1984 and retired from professional football in 1985. Jerry Olson, UND head coach from 1968-77, said in 1971, “Jim is a very complete football player: one of the best I’ve ever coached. He is a very intelligent and dedicated athlete.”
Kicker 1965-66
After graduating in 1967, Mann signed with Denver of the American Football League and had a part in history. His two field goals were the difference in a 13-7 win over the Detroit Lions, the first time an AFL team defeated an NFL squad. However, a serious thigh injury suffered later that season put Mann’s pro career in jeopardy. Told he would never be able to kick again, Mann was released by Denver, Cleveland and Green Bay. But he persevered and caught on with Detroit in 1969, setting franchise records for points by a kicker and field goals in the process. Mann would spend eight seasons with Detroit, and left the team in 1976 as its all-time leading scorer. Mann signed on with the Oakland Raiders in 1976 and, in 1977, enjoyed the best season of his career. He led the NFL in scoring and became the only exSioux football player to win a Super Bowl ring, as the Raiders beat Minnesota 32-14. Mann retired from football in 1979 ranked 16th on the NFL’s alltime scoring list. A native of Campbell, Minn., Errol Mann was inducted into the UND Athletic Hall of Fame in 1983, was named to UND Football’s All Century team in 1994, and is a member of the 1966 team inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002.

Tackle, Linebacker, Kicker 1955-56
A native of Wahpeton, N.D., Myhra led UND to wins over North Dakota State in ’55 and ’56 and was named the North Central Conference MVP following his senior season. His greatest gridiron moment may have come when he kicked a field goal with just seven seconds left in regulation to send his Baltimore Colts team into overtime in the 1958 NFL championship game. The Colts went on to beat the N.Y. Giants in overtime to cap off what has been described as the best NFL game ever played. His game-tying kick was used as the cover photo of Life Magazine that month. Possessed of great agility and strength, Myhra was a superb football player, widely respected by all who knew him. Following Myhra’s death in 1994, his coach, Frank Zazula, said, “He was one of the greatest athletes I ever coached. He could play five or six different positions.”

The only player in University of North Dakota football history to have his uniform number retired, Cando, N.D., native Dave Osborn lettered two years for the Fighting Sioux in 1963 and 1964, when he led UND to back-to-back wins over North Dakota State. He was a first-year All-North Central Conference selection in 1964. Osborn scored four touchdowns in the first game he started for the Sioux and in the last game he played for UND. He set the Sioux record for best single-game rushing average at 16.8 yards per carry when he ran the ball 12 times for 202 yards vs. Minnesota-Duluth on Sept. 14, 1963. He scored 10 touchdowns in 1964 and led the Fighting Sioux to a share of the North Central Conference title before moving on to a stellar NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings. While with the Vikings, Osborn set the franchise record with 972 rushing yards in 1967. He ranked sixth among active rushers in the NFC at the conclusion of the 1974 season.

Behl in 2006 in order to support scholarships for place kickers. Behl was a letterwinning kicker in 1953 and 1954. He graduated from UND in 1956 with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering.
Henry Robb Berthiaume
Robb Berthiaume Memorial Scholarship This scholarship is presented annually to the defensive back that has demonstrated a high level of achievement on the field and in the classroom. Robb Berthiaume’s caring nature, intellectual prowess and passionate enthusiasm for sports were the hallmarks of this young University of North Dakota football player. A starter at corner as a sophomore, Robb was an integral part of the 1994 conference and Midwest Region championship team. In addition to his on-field achievements, Robb excelled in the classroom. A member of the UND Honors program, Robb was a marketing and pre-law major who had a grade point average above a 3.0. But it was his smile and personality that Robb was best known for. His ever-friendly and enthusiastic attitude made him a joy to be around. Robb’s promising life was tragically cut short in the fall of 1995. The Robb Berthiaume Memorial Scholarship has been established to honor Robb and the ideals he stood for. 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002

Mark Foss was a UND football letterwinner in 1948, 1949, and 1950 and was a North Central Conference selection in 1948 and 1950. He was also on the basketball and track teams for one year and was a student member of the Athletic Board of Control. He studied civil engineering and earned a bachelor’s degree in 1951 and a master’s degree in 1955. The Mark and Peggy Endowment was established in 1995 and in 2007 was amended to support football scholarships. It will be awarded for the first time in 2010.
The recipient of this scholarship must be of high character and a strong contributor to the Fighting Sioux football team. In 1982, Dale came to the University of North Dakota and began his college and football careers. He majored in computer science with an emphasis in mathematics. He was a walk-on who wanted to play for the love of the game. On the football team, he quickly became respected by his teammates for his hard work and perseverance and was known for his speed and strength. In 1985, Dale was named to the North Central Conference All Academic Team and received All-NCC honorable mention recognition. Dale began his professional career as an information systems specialist for Altru Health Systems in Grand Forks. He became a leader in his department for 10 years, guiding United Hospital through new technologies. In 1996, Dale accepted a position with Northwest Airlines and quickly received the reputation as a computer genius for solving problems that were previously unsolvable. He is credited for the design of a computer program that helped make air traffic control considerably safer. In honor and recognition of all that Dale Greenlees accomplished in his lifetime, athletically, academically, and professionally, family and friends established the Dale Greenlees Football Scholarship Endowment. 2009 2008 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002

If there is a story told about UND football in the 60s and 70s, chances are Eugene “Gene” Murphy is a part of it. “Murph” was a threeyear letterwinner (1960, 1961, and 1962) and team captain in 1962 before starting his coaching career at UND. An assistant coach from 1963-77, he took over for Jerry Olson in 1978. His head coaching career with the Fighting Sioux only lasted two season, but he won 15 games in his short tenure. His coaching numbers don’t come close to telling the whole story as coach Murphy had a huge impact on Fighting Sioux football and at Cal State Fullerton, where he continued his coaching career. “I’ve worked for John Robinson and Mike Holmgren. They’re household names,” former NFL head coach and onetime assistant for Murphy Steve Mariucci once said. “I will tell you, I learned more from Gene Murphy about coaching and how to be a head coach than both of those men put together.” The Eugene “Gene” Murphy Endowment has been established by former UND players and coaches from the 1960s and 70s for football scholarships. 2009 Joel Schwenzfeier (Jr., SS)

Todd Thomas Memorial Endowment/HOG Fund The Todd Thomas Memorial Endowment/HOG Fund was established by the UND Foundation to honor Todd, who passed away in 2000 at the age of 40, and to keep his legacy of excellence alive. Originally set up as a memorial scholarship in 2000, the award was modified in 2003 as a way to support the priority needs of the UND offensive line (the “Hogs”). Each year’s support gift is chosen by the award winner, the UND offensive linemen and offensive line coach. In support of this endowment, former Sioux lineman Jay Hilbert (1977-82) has helped form a HOG Executive Committee with more than 20 members to help in enhancing this endowment. Todd Thomas left his mark at UND as an outstanding athlete and an excellent student. Todd was an all-conference offensive tackle and graduated with cum laude honors in chemical engineering. Todd was drafted in the fifth round of the 1981 NFL draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. After playing four years in the NFL and the USFL, Todd fell back on his engineering degree. Todd eventually became the holder of seven patents and was considered a worldwide expert in underbalanced drilling techniques, which helped revolutionize underground oil and gas recovery. 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002

National Alumni Football Committee formed in 2002
The University of North Dakota established a National Alumni Football Committee in 2002 for the purpose of building and maintaining the strong tradition of excellence in the UND football program. Specifically, the committee was organized to: • Improve communication between UND football lettermen and their teammates, and with the current Fighting Sioux football team and coaching staff • Improve involvement with our UND football lettermen in the current UND program and alumni lettermen events, activities and projects. • Improve support by our UND football lettermen for our current program through annual contributions or through endowments or planned gifts to directly support the UND football program.
Activities planned for football lettermen
Since being established, the National Alumni Football Committee has initiated a number of projects, including: • Annual football lettermen’s golf scramble at The Legends golf course in Prior Lake, Minn. • E-mail blasts from the UND coaching staff and the committee leadership networking with each era of Fighting Sioux football alumni to develop involvement and support team reunions during Homecoming and Hall of Fame induction weekend (50 years, 25 years, etc.)

Football came to UND in 1892 under the leadership of Adolph Bechdolt, professor of English and Education, who had seen the game played at Lafayette. The team played only intra-squad games. •

The first “dedicated” football field was set up in 1899 with the assistance of UND benefactor William Budge. The University Athletic Association secured the plot by paying $150 in back taxes. Football players supplied their own uniforms. Half purchased green stockings, and the other half bought red ones. Each player wore one red and one green stocking in games. Harry C. (Babe) Loomis became the University’s first paid coach when he was hired at a salary of $200 for six weeks in 1899. His football team won all six of its games, outscoring opponents by a total of 179-5. The success of the 1899 team on the field was just a hint of things to come. Captain and center Lynn Frazier became the first UND alumnus to be elected governor of North Dakota. Other members included William Nuessle, who became the chief justice of the North Dakota Supreme Court; William Lemke, who became North Dakota’s attorney general and then served in Congress; and Victor Wardrope, who was to be the first alumnus appointed a University trustee. Football at the turn of the century was a brutal affair. Passing was illegal, so the ball was advanced through the efforts of human “battering rams.” To protect the runner, offensive linemen would lock arms and attempt to mow down anyone in the way.

Following a mediocre football season in 1907, students complained that the official colors of pink and green failed to elicit respect from UND’s opponents. Before 1917, there had been some efforts to change the University’s colors to black and gold, but influential alumni voiced their opposition. Green and white uniforms were worn in the 1920s. These became the official athletic colors in 1947. The Flickertail Club was organized in 1924 to raise funds for the construction of new athletic facilities. Enough was raised to begin construction in 1926. At the homecoming celebration on Oct. 8, 1927, a handsome brick stadium seating 8,000 was dedicated in honor of the University’s war dead. Before the opening of Memorial Stadium, the largest crowd ever assembled for a North Dakota football game was fewer than 1,500.
•
Elmer Hanson, announcer for KFJM, made the first radio broadcast from Memorial Stadium on Oct. 29, 1927, as UND beat the North Dakota Agricultural College 13-0. The first radio broadcasts of UND athletic events were of basketball games from the UND Armory in 1926-27, also by KFJM and Elmer Hanson.
•
Lights were installed at Memorial Stadium in 1929, and night games were played there until Oct. 5, 1963. The lights were removed in 1966.
FOOTBALL HISTORY :: EARLY FOOTBALL BEGINNINGS
•
Glenn “Red” Jarrett was named in 1930 to the New York Herald-Tribune All American team at halfback, the first UND player to be so honored. The three-sport star played at UND from 1928 to 1931 and later served as coach and athletic director.
•
Frederick “Fritz” Pollard, who played halfback and was named to Collier’s Little All-American First Team in 1938, won a bronze medal in the high hurdles at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, despite a serious leg injury.
•
Cyrus Kahl, who lettered in 192829, was the first UND player to sign a professional football contract, with the Portsmouth (Ohio) Spartans in 1930 and 1931. Among several UND alumni who played professionally in the 1930s was Irv Kupcinet, who achieved national fame as a columnist and radio personality after playing for the Philadelphia Eagles.
This material was extracted primarily from the chapter, “Athletes,” written by the late Lee Bohnet, longtime UND sports information director, for the University’s centennial history, A Century on the Northern Plains.
Fighting Sioux 2010 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL
Memorial Stadium The 10,000-seat UND Memorial Stadium served as home to UND football home games from 1927 to 2000. The stadium boasts a rich and colorful history. UND posted a 247-88-9 record (.731) in 72 seasons at Memorial Stadium, but lost the first and last games it played there. In the first game at the stadium (Oct. 8, 1927), UND lost, 7-0, to Creighton, and in the last game there (Oct. 28, 2000), the Sioux lost, 35-23, to Augustana. The stadium still serves as home of the Fighting Sioux football offices and practice field along with training, weight, equipment and locker rooms. Built in 1927 as a memorial to members of the University of North Dakota community who died during World War I, the facility was one of the first examples of the Late Gothic Revival architectural design on campus. “Turrets” at the ends of the grandstands and the solid massing give it the appearance of a fortress.
In 1985, the stadium underwent renovations to install an artificial turf playing surface and an all-weather, eight-lane running track. Renovations of office space have also taken place. A new artificial turf was installed prior to the 1998 season. The stadium has served as the home for UND athletic events, the North Dakota Boys and Girls State Track Meet and the North Dakota Special Olympics Summer Games.

Fighting Sioux 2010 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL Sitting Bull Trophy
From 1953 to 1999, UND and the University of South Dakota competed for the Sitting Bull trophy, a carved oaken bust of the famous Sioux Indian leader, awarded after a mild dispute between the states following removal of some of the late leader’s remains from a grave near Fort Yates, N.D. T he trophy was first awarded by Sodak Sports, a defunct sports weekly. UND won the trophy 28 times, compared to just 15 for USD.
Nickel Trophy
The Nickel Trophy, 250 times larger than a regular five-cent piece and weighing 75 pounds, was inaugurated in 1938 and was presented each fall to the winner of the North Dakota-North Dakota State football battle during the series that ran through the 2003 season. T wo inches thick and 22 inches in diameter, it is an exact replica of the once-minted U.S. coin. It has been the object of many intercampus raids, recoveries and more thefts. The late Robert Kunkel, a UND alumnus and Chicago advertising executive, was the originator of the trophy. Blue Key, an honorary service fraternity on each campus, awarded the Nickel Trophy to the winning team. ND leads in the battle for the aluminum alloy “slug” 35-30. In one stretch, U the Fighting Sioux won it 12 straight times. In the all-time series against North Dakota State, UND leads 62-45-3. The Sioux retained the trophy in 2003, winning 28-21 in overtime at the Alerus Center, the most recent meeting between the two teams.
In 2001, North Dakota defeated North Dakota State 19-7 to take back the Nickel Trophy.

Potato Bowl USA
The Potato Bowl USA is a week-long festival teaming the University of North Dakota and the Red River Valley potato growing industry. It features a Hugo’s Potato Bowl Pete Hidden Medallion Contest, a Hugo’s 8K run, golf tournament, the world’s largest french fry feed, pep rally, service club breakfast, parade, and tailgating party football game featuring the University of North Dakota. The week’s activities are arranged by the Potato Bowl Committee, a group of Greater Grand Forks volunteers. The Potato Bowl USA was created in 1965 by then UND Athletic Director Leonard R. “Len” Marti, head football Coach Marv “Whitey” Helling, assistant football coach Jerry Olson and sports information director Lee Bohnet. The first Potato Bowl USA was played in 1966, when the Fighting Sioux shut out Idaho State 41-0 in a battle for pride among potato growing regions. The 2010 Potato Bowl USA Ambassadors are Mary Zikmund (right) and Evan Collette (center) and the Grand Marshall is Joe Sowokinos (left). North Dakota is 33-11 in Potato Bowl USA history.

MINERAL WATER BOWL
EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo. – UND forced eight Northern Illinois turnovers while committing none enroute to beating the Huskies, 37-20, in the 17th annual Mineral Water Bowl. The Huskies gave away three fumbles and had five passes intercepted in finishing its season with a 9-1 record. UND also wound up the year with a 9-1 mark. UND scored on its first possession on a 1-yard run by junior quarterback Corey Colehour and were never seriously threatened by the sixthranked Huskies. Sioux cornerback Stan Wright got things started when he returned the opening kickoff 65 yards to the Northern Illinois 30-yard line. Four plays later Colehour punched it in and Errol Mann’s extra point made it 7-0 just 3:06 into the game. Northern Illinois successfully executed a 90-yard halfback option pass on its second play from scrimmage that went for a touchdown by Gerry Sandberg. The Huskies’ extra point attempt was wide, however, and UND led 7-6. T he teams traded two more touchdowns in the first half, and UND led 21-20 at halftime. Northern Illinois would get no closer, though, as UND recorded a safety in the third quarter and two fourth quarter touchdowns. The Sioux ran 92 offensive plays to just 41 for Northern Illinois. Of the Huskies’ 323 total yards, three were on plays of 90, 63 and 42 yards. Starting Huskies’ quarterback Ron Christian sustained a knee injury in the second quarter and missed much of the game until returning in the fourth quarter. Sioux junior halfback Ron Bergh was named the game’s outstanding back after he rushed for two touchdowns and 74 yards on 17 carries. UND sophomore Jerry Quaderer led all ballcarriers with 83 yards in 19 attempts. NOTES: Sioux end Dave Lince was honored as the top lineman. Northern Illinois linebacker Terry Henigan was given the top tackler award ... Sioux cornerback Stan Wright had two interceptions and Colehour passed for 201 yards ... It was Northern Illinois’ third trip to the Mineral Water Bowl, while the Sioux were making their first appearance in the game ... It was UND’s first postseason action since 1930, when the Sioux defeated the Los Angeles Firemen, a major college all-star team, by a score of 14-9 on Christmas day on the west coast.

PECAN BOWL
ABILENE, Texas – Football-loving Texans applauded. The Fighting Sioux and all of the North Central Conference commended the University of North Dakota for its 42-24 Pecan Bowl triumph over Parsons College of Fairfield, Iowa, in the third annual Pecan Bowl. The free-wheeling Sioux, showing their usual splendid passing game that had smashed seven foes and led to a conference title tie, simply had too many horses for the heavier Parsons outfit in this game that brought UND its first NCAA College Division Midwest football title. There were many Sioux heroes in this wild, fan-pleasing game that produced 19 NCAA bowl records, 17 of the marks by UND coach Marv “Whitey” Helling’s team as it unleashed a furious offense in windy, 30-degree weather at P.E. Shotwell Stadium in this West Texas city of 120,000.

UND scored first. After a nine-play drive, Sioux quarterback Corey Colehour drove to the enemy 18, where a field goal attempt by Errol Mann went awry. Mann’s short kick was caught by Parsons, but UND forced a fumble and Mann recovered. On the next play, Colehour threw a 13-yard pass to John Conrad with 6:36 left in the first quarter and Mann kicked the extra point for a 7-0 UND lead. The Sioux made it 14-0 after a fake field goal attempt from the Parsons 14-yard line. UND back Pete Porinsh took the snap from center and gained 10 yards to the 4, and on the next play Porinsh ran it in. The Sioux extended their lead on a 43-yard touchdown pass from Colehour to Jim Hester to finish off a six-play 80-yard drive. Parsons had cut the lead to 21-10 in the third quarter, but UND capped off a 72-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown run by Porinsh with 15 seconds remaining in the third quarter. The Sioux made it 35-10 with 6:46 left in the game on Colehour’s second 43-yard TD pass of the afternoon, this time to Porinsh. Parsons made a valiant effort to come back in the game’s final minutes, narrowing the score to 3524 with 3:10 to play, but UND put the game out of reach when Colehour hit sophomore split end Billy Predovich in the end zone with a 30-yard pass on a third-and-13 play with 51 seconds left in the game. Mann’s extra point made it 42-24. Colehour was named the game’s most valuable back and UND’s Roger Bonk was named the most valuable lineman. After watching Colehour throw for 274 yards, Parsons coach Marcelino Huerta, Jr., said after the game that Colehour “was the best quarterback I’ve seen this year. He’s a pro prospect, you can bet on that.” Note: This summary was excerpted from a game story written by former UND sports information director Lee Bohnet.

CAMILLIA BOWL
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – More than 17,000 fans were on hand to see North Dakota defeat Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, 38-21, in the 12th annual Camellia Bowl in a game that decided the NCAA West College Football championship. The win was the 10th of the season for the Sioux, setting a school record. UND finished the year with a 10-1 mark, while Cal Poly finished 8-1-1. UND shut down a Cal Poly running game that was averaging 227 yards per game, limiting the Mustangs to just 63 rushing yards on 33 attempts. Meanwhile the Sioux ran for 266 yards on 70 attempts, led by senior Mike Deutsch’s 119 yards on 41 carries. North Dakota took a 3-0 lead 4:30 into the game on a 36-yard field goal by Jim Gronowski and made it 10-0 when Jay Gustafson connected with tight end Lawrie Skolrood on a 13-yard touchdown pass with 2:40 left in the first quarter. UND was leading 17-0 in the second quarter when Cal Poly defensive tackle Dave Quirk intercepted a pass and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown. That made it 17-7 at halftime. UND upped its lead to 24-7 with 2:18 to play in the third quarter on a 2-yard run by Deutsch. The touchdown capped a 17-play, 81-yard drive that took over seven minutes. The Sioux eventually opened up a 31-7 lead before Cal Poly managed two touchdowns in the game’s final four minutes. UND was just trying to run out the clock, but freshman running back Dale Kasowski scored on a 49-yard run up the middle with just three seconds to play. NOTES: The crowd of 17,194 was the highest of all four 1972 NCAA regional bowls ... Deutsch was named the game’s most valuable offensive player and Cal Poly linebacker Gregg Lee received the game’s most valuable defensive player honors – the team’s respective schools received $1,000 scholarships in the names of the two players ... The game was televised by ABC to a regional audience, with Lee Grosscup and Lynn Sanners handling the announcing chores ... The contest was seen on KTHI-TV, Ch. 11, in Grand Forks ... Game time temperature was 34 degrees.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Unranked Livingston (Ala.) scored three second-half touchdowns to break a 14-14 halftime tie and upset No. 1-ranked North Dakota in a first round NCAA playoff game at Memorial Stadium. Livingston raised its record to 10-2 and advanced to the NCAA Division II semifinals in Wichita Falls, Texas, where it lost to Northern Michigan in the Pioneer Bowl. Northern Michigan went on to the Camellia Bowl in Sacramento, Calif., where it won the national championship. The loss to Livingston was the first of the season for UND, which finished 9-1. After Livingston took a 14-0 first quarter lead, the Sioux came back with a strong second quarter, scoring touchdowns on a seven-yard run by quarterback Brian Grover and an eightyard run by running back Dale Kasowski. Kasowski led all runners with 146 yards rushing on 25 carries. The game was fairly even, statistically, but Livingston made big plays, while North Dakota was victimized by mistakes and an inability to make plays at key times. The Sioux drove to Livingston’s 10-yard line on their opening possession, but were stopped on a fourth-and-one from there. With the score tied 14-14 in the third quarter, a pass reception by UND’s Tom Petrik moved the ball to the Livingston four-yard line, but a clipping penalty negated the gain, and UND failed to score. Livingston, which used a wishbone formation and no-huddle offense with alternating quarterbacks throughout, scored what was the eventual game-winning touchdown on an eight-yard run by quarterback Ricky Seale with 1:33 left in the third quarter. The Tigers made it 28-14 on a 63-yard touchdown run by quarterback Willie Slater with 11:48 left in the game. Livingston running back Alvin Edwards took a counter handoff 49 yards for a touchdown with 5:51 to finish the scoring. NOTES: UND came into the game ranked first nationally in three polls – the UPI, AP and NCAA polls, while Livingston was unranked ... The temperature was 28 degrees at game time but was not considered a factor in the outcome, according to UND coach Jerry Olson ... There was a 10-to 15-mile per hour wind out of the northwest that grew stronger as the game went on ... The game was not televised ... Livingston linebacker Paul Davis made eight solo tackles, assisted on five others and forced two fumbles.

JACKSON, Miss. – UND took a 7-6 lead into the locker room at halftime, but Mississippi College scored 15 points in the first nine minutes of the third quarter and went on to win, 35-15, in the opening round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. It was the second time in five years that a UND playoff appearance was spoiled by a Gulf South Conference team, with both losses coming by 20 points. In 1975, Livingston (Ala.) beat the Sioux 34-14 after the game was tied 14-14 at the half. Mississippi College raised its record to 10-2 and advanced to the NCAA Division II semifinals, where it lost to eventual national champion Delaware. UND finished its season with a 10-2 record. The Choctaws led 6-0 in the second quarter, but UND went 68 yards in 12 plays, scoring on a oneyard touchdown run by Gary Pietruszewski with 6:21 to play before the half. The Sioux received the second-half kickoff, but on UND’s fourth play of the third quarter, Mississippi College recovered a Sioux fumble on the UND 36-yard line, and the Choctaws scored seven plays later on a one-yard run by Wayne Pharis to take the lead with 10:34 to play in the third. A two-point conversion made the score 14-7. On North Dakota’s next play from scrimmage, Mississippi College linebacker Ralph Ashley intercepted a pass at the Sioux 38, and the Choctaws scored on a 20-yard run by Bruce Hulitt with 6:43 left in the third. Mississippi College extended its lead to 28-7 just 30 seconds into the fourth quarter on a five-yard run by Daryl Posey. Pietruszewski scored his second touchdown of the game with 2:48 to play and UND’s Tom Shorma ran in the two-point conversion attempt to make the score 28-15, but an on-side kick attempt by the Sioux failed. Mississippi College’s Major Everett then scored on a 41-yard run up the middle with 1:09 to play for the final score of the game. NOTES: UND left end Joe Friederichs led all players with 17 total tackles, with four of those for lost yardage ... The game was the first-ever postseason game for Mississippi College ... UND held Choctaws tailback Calvin Howard to just 56 yards rushing; Howard came into the game as the No. 2 rusher in Division II with 1,401 yards ... The field was soaked by four inches of rain on the two days prior to the game ... Game time was 7:30 p.m. to accommodate an afternoon game between Mississippi and Mississippi State on the same field.

PITTSBURG, Kan. – Pitt State running back Ronald Moore ran for 100 yards on 29 carries and scored three touchdowns – two in the second half – to lead the No. 1-ranked Gorillas to a 26-21 comeback win over 13th-ranked North Dakota in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. It was the third consecutive playoff defeat for North Dakota, which finished the 1992 season with a 6-4-1 overall record. It was the 23rd consecutive win for Pitt State, the defending national champion. The Gorillas raised their record to 12-0 with the win and went on to win two more playoff games before losing, 1713, to Jacksonville State in the NCAA Division II championship game in Florence, Ala. Moore gave the Gorillas a 6-0 lead and the extra point by Jeff Wood made it 7-0 with 9:46 to play in the first quarter after an eight-play, 48-yard drive. UND cut the score to 7-6 with 2:06 to play in the first quarter when running back Shannon Burnell scored on a two-yard run to cap a 14-play, 60yard drive. UND kicker Darcy Dahlem’s extrapoint attempt was blocked. Pitt State scored on its next possession on a 13yard touchdown scramble by quarterback Brian Hutchins. The extra-point snap was fumbled, and Wood did not get a kick off, making the score 13-6 with 24 seconds left in the first. UND took the lead on Burnell’s second touchdown of the day, a two-yard run with 6:32 to play in the second quarter. Sioux quarterback threw to tight end John Schumacher for the two-point conversion, making the score 14-13 in favor of UND. That was the score at halftime, but Pitt State scored on its first drive of the third quarter after UND turned the ball over by fumbling the second half’s opening kickoff. After recovering on the UND 33-yard line, Pitt State scored on its eighth play, a one-yard run by Moore with 11:09 to play in the third. A twopoint conversion pass was incomplete, making the score 19-14. The Gorillas extended their lead early in the fourth quarter. Late in the third quarter, Pitt State’s Joel Thornton intercepted a Wahl pass at the Gorillas’ 31-yard line and returned it nine yards to the Pitt State 40. After seven plays ended the third quarter, Moore finished the drive on the first play of the fourth quarter on a three-yard touchdown run. Wood’s kick made it 26-14. UND cut the lead to 26-21 with 3:34 to play in the game on a 40-yard touchdown pass from Wahl to Tim Gelinske and extra point by Dahlem. The Sioux had one final possession, getting the ball on their own 31-yard line with 2:01 to play. Three straight Wahl completions moved the ball to the Pitt State 48-yard line, but the Sioux turned it over on possessions, and the Gorillas ran out the clock. NOTES: Moore went on to win the Harlon Hill award in 1992 and later played in the NFL ... The game time temperature was 43 degrees with the wind measured at 10-15 miles per hour from the northeast.

FIRST ROUND, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS
GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND’s Darcy Dahlem kicked a 31-yard field goal with 6:36 to play to lift the Fighting Sioux to a 17-14 win over Pittsburg State in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. The win sent UND (9-2) into the second round of the playoffs against North Central Conference co-champion Mankato State (10-2), which defeated Missouri Southern, 34-13, in the first round. Pittsburg State ended its season with an 8-3 overall record. The game was a rematch of the 1992 NCAA Division II playoff game that saw Pittsburg State defeat UND, 26-21, in Pittsburg, Kan. Dahlem’s kick was the 11th play in a 57-yard drive. On the winning drive, UND running back Shannon Burnell ran three times for 21 yards, but the biggest play was a 12-yard sideline pass from Sioux quarterback K.J. Coghlan to Aaron Schramm on which UND was given an additional five yards because of a Pitt State facemask penalty. That gave UND a first down on the Gorillas’ 23-yard line. After the drive stalled at the PSU 13-yard line, Dahlem made his gamewinning kick. Pitt State took the ensuing kickoff and moved to the UND 28-yard line, but on second-andnine, Sioux safety Monte Schmaltz stopped a Gorillas’ option play for a four-yard loss, and on third-and-13, UND cornerback Dallas Rysavy stopped an attempted reverse for a 14-yard loss. On fourth down and 27, the Sioux stopped Pitt State quarterback Brian Hutchins to take over on downs with 1:17 to play. Five plays later UND ran out the clock to end the game. UND tied the score 14-14 with 1:52 to play in the third quarter on a 27-yard touchdown pass from Clay Wagner to Aaron Schramm. Pittsburg State held a 7-0 halftime lead after scoring on a 10-yard pass from Brian Hutchins to Paul Sparkman with 11 seconds to play in the first quarter. The Sioux tied it, 7-7, with 11:05 to play in the third quarter when Wagner connected with Tom Hagert on a 41-yard TD pass. The Gorillas took a 14-7 lead with 4:29 to play in the third quarter on a two-yard run by Hutchins. The game took just 2:27 to play, as both teams relied heavily on their rushing prowess to keep the clock moving. UND rushed 46 times for 230 yards, while Pitt State ran 51 times for 259 yards. The Sioux attempted just 23 passes on the afternoon, and the Gorillas threw just six times. Burnell had 191 rushing yards on 32 carries for UND, while Pitt State’s Joey Tobin had 125 rushing yards on 21 carries. NOTES: UND snapped a three-game postseason losing streak ... The game was played on a sunny day with a game-time temperature of 41 degrees and a south wind gusting between 10 and 20 miles per hour ... The last time UND played host to a playoff game was in 1975 against Livingston.

QUARTERFINALS, ncaa dii playoffs
GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND quarterback Clay Wagner threw for 294 yards and a school playoffrecord five touchdown passes (broken in 2001) to lead the Fighting Sioux to a 54-21 quarterfinal playoff win over Mankato State at Memorial Stadium. It was a cold day in Grand Forks, with the gametime temperature just 15 degrees, but both teams’ offenses were hot. The Sioux racked up 481 total offensive yards, while the Mavericks tallied 373 yards of their own in total offense. Another factor in the game was turnovers, with Mankato State committing seven to just one by UND. The win advanced North Dakota (10-2) to the NCAA semifinals against Indiana (Pa.) (12-0). The Sioux jumped out to a 21-0 lead on Mankato State and led 41-7 after three quarters to all but clinch the victory. Both teams scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. UND started fast, scoring on its opening drive on a 29-yard screen pass from Wagner to running back Shannon Burnell. The Mavericks, meanwhile, threw interceptions on their first two possessions, but the Sioux did not capitalize on those turnovers. With UND leading 14-0 in the second quarter, the Mavericks fumbled the ball away on their own 33-yard line, and this time UND took advantage of the miscue, with Wagner throwing a 29-yard pass to Tom Hagert for a touchdown. It was one of three touchdown catches on the day for Hagert, who on the afternoon totaled 156 yards on eight receptions. After Mankato State scored on an impressive 15-play drive to make it 21-7, UND took just two plays to make it 28-7 when Wagner found Hagert in the end zone for a 40-yard touchdown pass. A 29-yard field goal by Sioux kicker Darcy Dahlem made it 31-7 with 14:05 to play in the third quarter, and then Wagner and Hagert combined for their third touchdown, this time a 41-yarder with 7:32 to play. Dahlem’s second field goal of the day, a 32-yarder, made it 41-7 after three. Among the game’s defensive standouts were Sioux cornerbacks Brent Johnson and Dallas Rysavy. Johnson had two interceptions and eight total tackles, and Rysavy had nine total tackles and one pass breakup. Burnell had 126 rushing yards on 24 carries. It was Burnell’s third consecutive 100-yard rushing game in the playoffs. Mavericks’ quarterback Jamie Pass, a Harlon Hill Award finalist, threw for 215 yards and was also Mankato State’s leading rusher, with 90 yards on 14 carries. NOTES: UND held the ball for 34:32 to 25:28 for Mankato State.

INDIANA, Pa. – UND’s 1993 playoff run came to an end on a muddy field in Indiana, Pa., as fourth-ranked IUP opened up a 21-0 lead and did not allow the Sioux to get on the scoreboard until there were just 24 seconds remaining in the game. Like the Sioux did a week earlier against Mankato State, IUP dominated the time of possession, holding the ball for 36:46 to UND’s 23:14. The Indians ran 72 offensive plays to just 52 for the Sioux. IUP raised its record to 13-0 and advanced to the national championship game the following week in Florence, Ala., where the Indians lost to North Alabama. UND ended its season with a 10-3 record. IUP got all the points it needed on the opening drive of the game, when running back Michael Mann, a Harlon Hill Award finalist, scored on a four-yard run to cap a 12-play drive. Mann carried seven times for 28 yards on the drive. Indians’ kicker Michael Geary kicked the extra point to make it 7-0 with 9:27 to play in the quarter. UND came right back with an impressive possession of its own, but its 17-play drive ended with no points when Sioux kicker Darcy Dahlem missed a 22-yard field goal. The drive took 8:03. UND then forced IUP to punt, but the Sioux fumbled on the return, and the Indians capitalized on the turnover by scoring on a 10-yard pass from quarterback Scott Woods to Derrick Smith, making it 14-0 with 12:20 to play in the half. The Sioux managed just one first down and 25 yards in their next two possessions, and IUP upped its lead to 21-0 on an eight-yard pass from Woods to Scott McLellan with 54 seconds left in the half. The only scoring in the second half came on UND’s final drive of the game. Trailing 21-0 with 3:15 to play, North Dakota moved 83 yards in nine plays, with Sioux quarterback Clay Wagner completing a 24-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Josh Ostby with 27 seconds left. Dahlem’s extra point attempt was blocked. UND attempted an onside kick, but IUP recovered and kneeled down on the game’s final play to run out the clock. Mann was held to just 58 yards on 17 carries, but IUP’s Willie Dodson ran for a game-high 83 yards on 19 carries. Woods completed 19 of 27 passes for 171 yards. For UND, Shannon Burnell’s streak of rushing for 100 yards in three consecutive playoff games came to an end, as Burnell was limited to 48 yards on 10 carries.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND quarterback Clay Wagner threw three touchdown passes and Sioux running back Ross Almlie ran for 174 yards to lead North Dakota to an 18-6 win over Northeast Missouri in the first round of the 1994 NCAA Division II playoffs at Memorial Stadium. The win was the seventh in a row for the Sioux and their 13th home win in their past 14 home games. UND (9-2) advanced to play North Dakota State in the Division II quarterfinals, while Northeast Missouri finished its season with an 8-3 mark. The Sioux opened the scoring when Wagner threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to receiver Josh Ostby with 12:11 to play in the first quarter. It was the seventh consecutive game in which Ostby caught a touchdown pass. UND kicker Juan Gomez-Tagle’s extra-point attempt was blocked. Still leading 6-0, the Sioux got on the board again early in the second quarter. UND cornerback Brent Johnson intercepted a pass by Bulldogs’ quarterback Mike Vaughn at Northeast Missouri’s 38-yard line and returned it 11 yards to the 27-yard line. UND scored on its third play after the turnover when Wagner threw a 24-yard scoring pass to sophomore running back Tom Langer. It was Langer’s first career touchdown. A two-point conversion pass attempt failed, and UND led 12-0 with 12:58 to play in the half. The Bulldogs narrowed the score to 12-6 on a three-yard run by tailback Jarrett Anderson on Northeast Missouri’s first drive of the second half. Kicker Scott Rudel’s extra point attempt was no good. UND regained its 12-point lead on its next drive. A short kickoff was brought back by Sioux return man James Cheatham to UND’s 41, and UND moved downfield in just six plays. Langer ran up the middle for 20 yards to the Northeast Missouri 36, and then Wagner connected with junior wide receiver Jeff McElroy on a 16-yard touchdown pass with 10:39 to play in the third. Once again, a two-point conversion pass attempt failed, and the 18-6 score held up for the remainder of the game. The Bulldogs moved into UND territory three times, but could get no closer than the Sioux 26, and each time the UND defense held. U N D noseguard Mark Callahan had 14 total tackles (five solo), including one quarterback sack, and linebacker Tim Tibesar had 11 total tackles (four solo). Anderson, a Harlon Hill Award finalist, had 147 yards rushing on 36 carries and Northeast Missouri tight end led all receivers with six catches for 63 yards.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND opened up a 10-0 lead after the first quarter, but North Dakota State scored 41 unanwered points and went on to defeat the Sioux 41-10 in the first round of the playoffs. UND finished its season with a 9-2 record, while NDSU raised its mark to 10-2 and went on to lose to Pitt State in the playoff quarterfinals. For the Bison, the win avenged a 21-7 loss to the Sioux two weeks earlier at Memorial Stadium. NDSU’s offense rolled up 297 rushing yards on 55 carries and added 116 yards through the air for 413 total yards, more than double UND’s 200 net offensive yards. A pair of freshmen – quarterback Kevin Feeney and running back Reggie Scott – did most of the damage for the Bison. Feeney had 27 carries for 135 yards and completed 10 of 11 passes for 116 yards. Scott had 155 rushing yards on 27 carries and also caught four passes for 21 yards. UND scored first after a 14-play, 62-yard drive with a 20-yard field goal by Juan Gomez-Tagle with 5:52 to play in the first quarter. UND freshman running back Phillip Moore carried nine times for 54 yards on the drive. The Sioux then forced the Bison to punt after just three plays, and on first-and-10 from the UND 38, Sioux quarterback Kevin Klancher hit wide receiver Josh Ostby on a 53-yard pass and an NDSU personal foul put the ball on the fouryard line. Moore scored on the next play on a four-yard run up the middle, and Gomez-Tagle kicked the extra point to make it 10-0 with 3:17 remaining in the first quarter. UND managed just 84 yards after that, however, while NDSU got four touchdown runs from Feeney and two from Scott. The leading tackler in the game for North Dakota was left end David Hillesheim, who had 11 tackles (all solo). Sioux linebackers Tim Tibesar and Jason Mitchell each had nine tackles. NOTES: This was UND’s fourth straight season to appear in the NCAA playoffs. The game was played under sunny skies and a 35-degree temperature with a SE win blowing from 10-20 miles per hour.

GREELEY, Colo. – North Dakota’s fifth NCAA playoff appearance of the decade started with a first-half shootout and ended in a defensive struggle. In the end, UND did not have enough weapons as Northern Colorado came away with the firstround victory in a game that saw each team rack up more than 500 yards of total offense (UND 507, UNC 520). North Dakota’s season came to an end with the Sioux posting an 8-3 overall record. Northern Colorado, bidding for its third consecutive national title, upped its record to 11-1, but were defeated the next week in the quarterfinals by eventual national champion Northwest Missouri State. Most of the scoring took place in the first quarter, with Northern Colorado leading 28-14 after one. The Bears got two touchdowns in the game’s first 5:25, but UND cut the score to 14-7 when Sioux quarterback Sean Greenwaldt hit wide receiver Mike Juhasz on a 40-yard touchdown pass with 7:44 to play in the first quarter. Northern Colorado scored on its third consecutive drive, though, when quarterback Corte McGuffey ran it in from 14 yards with 5:31 to play in the first. UND was forced to punt on its next possession and Bears return man Keith Grable returned the punt 60 yards to the Sioux seven-yard line. McGuffey hit Dillan Micus for a touchdown pass on the next play and the extra point made it 28-7 with 2:47 left in the first quarter. The Sioux then came back with an impressive drive that ended with a 31-yard touchdown pass from Greenwaldt to Phillip Moore. The extra point made the score 28-14, and that’s how the quarter ended. UNC continued its offensive onslaught in the second quarter, outscoring the Sioux 14-10 to take a 42-24 halftime lead. I n all, Northern Colorado scored touchdowns on its first five possessions and on six out of seven possessions in the first half. The Bears added a field goal and touchdown in the second half to conclude the scoring. Greenwaldt threw for 229 yards and three touchdowns, two to Juhasz, who caught four passes for 119 yards. UND running back Phillip Moore rushed 25 times for 155 yards in his final game, the 25th time in his career he topped the century mark. NOTES: UND posted a 22-3 record when Moore ran for 100 or more yards in a game.

First round, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS
MARYVILLE, Mo. – North Dakota’s sixth NCAA playoff appearance of the 90s decade looked promising as the Fighting Sioux took a 13-0 halftime lead to the locker room. Northwest Missouri State mounted a comeback, however, scoring 13 points in the second half and sending the game to overtime tied at 13. UND’s season ended when David Jansen scored on a 1-yard plunge and the Sioux were unable to answer. North Dakota’s season ended with a 9-2 overall record, while Northwest Missouri raised its record to 11-1 and went on to win the national title. UND got the scoring started when cornerback Brant Grimes returned a blocked field goal 66 yards for a touchdown with 3:56 to play in the first quarter. Cameron Peterka kicked the extra point to make it 7-0 and then added two second quarter field goals to give the Sioux a 13-0 halftime lead. The Bearcats narrowed the margin to 13-7 on a big special teams play of their own when Tony Miles scored on a 64-yard punt return with 12:34 to play in the third quarter. UND was still leading 13-7 late in the third quarter, but Northwest Missouri put together a nine-play, 51-yard drive that ended with a 46yard field goal by David Purnell. That made it 1310 with 2:14 to play in the third quarter. The Bearcats tied it with 10:19 to play in the game on another field goal by Purnell, this time from 36 yards out. Neither team managed any solid scoring chances the remainder of regulation time, and that sent the game to overtime, marking the first time UND was involved in a playoff game that went to overtime. The Bearcats got the ball first, starting at the UND 25-yard line per NCAA rules. Faced with a third down and 11 to go, the Bearcats called a timeout. After conferring on the sidelines, quarterback Travis Miles hit Tony Miles on a 10yard pass and on fourth and one, Tucker Woolsey ran for two yards and a first down on the UND 14-yard line. Jansen then rushed for 11 yards to the threeyard line and on third and goal from the one, Jansen ran it in, and Purnell’s extra point made it 20-13. UND got the ball next, but on a fourth and eight play from the Northwest Missouri State 23-yard line, Sioux quarterback Tony Stein’s pass to Mike Juhasz was incomplete, ending UND’s season. NOTES: UND sophomore Jed Perkerewicz ran for 141 yards on 30 carries, and Jansen ran for 115 yards on 24 carries for Northwest Missouri State.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND quarterback Kelby Klosterman tied an NCAA Division II playoff record by throwing six touchdown passes–four to Sioux wide receiver Jesse Smith–to lead North Dakota to a 42-28 win over Winona State in the first round of the NCAA Division II Football Championship playoffs. The Sioux (11-1) advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals and will play host to Pittsburg (Kan.) State (11-1). Winona State finished its season with a 10-2 record. Klosterman’s six TD passes tied the NCAA Division II single-game playoff record set by Portland State’s Darren Del’Andrae in a threeovertime game in 1989 and equaled by UC Davis’s J.T. O’Sullivan in 2000. Smith, who caught six passes for 133 yards, tied an NCAA Division II single-game playoff record with his four touchdown receptions. That mark has been achieved three times previously. It was first reached by Lehigh’s Steve Kreider in 1977, and later accomplished by West Chester’s Scott Asman in a three-overtime game in 1989 and West Chester’s Brian Penacale in 1994. UND took the opening kickoff and drove for a touchdown with a 12-play, 77-yard drive. The drive was capped by a 10-yard Klosterman touchdown pass to tight end John Kyvig. Klosterman then threw a 2-yard TD pass to Kyvig that made it 14-0 with 3:22 to play in the quarter. Winona State scored its first touchdown on a one-yard run by quarterback Bruce Carpenter, but a 19-yard touchdown pass from Klosterman to Smith upped UND’s lead to 21-7 with 3:26 to play in the half. Winona State responded with a nine-play, 74yard drive capped by a five-yard touchdown pass from Carpenter to Adam Lilla with 21 seconds to play in the half, making it 21-14 at halftime. UND extended its lead to 28-14 with 5:35 to play in the third when Klosterman threw a 16-yard touchdown to Smith, but the Warriors narrowed the score to 28-21 when Carpenter hit Lilla on a 64-yard touchdown pass with 4:17 left in the third. Less than two minutes later, Klosterman threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Smith with 2:49 to play in the quarter, making it 35-21, and the duo connected one more time to conclude UND’s scoring. Winona State closed the scoring on a 2-yard touchdown pass from Carpenter to Lilla with 26 seconds to play. NOTES: UND gained a season-high 508 yards of total offense in the game ... Winona State linebacker Jake Tietje led all players with 13 tackles (12 solo). UND’s Eric Schmidt had seven solo tackles and five pass breakups ... UND’s 42 points was the highest total ever recorded by the Sioux in 16 playoff games ... Perkerewicz’s 100yard game was the 12th of his career (second in the playoffs) ... Klosterman’s 27 completions was a career high ... Klosterman’s six touchdown passes is a UND playoff record and matched the Sioux regular season single-game mark that was set by Corey Colehour in 1966 ... Kyvig’s twotouchdown game was the first of his career.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The UND defense held Pittsburg (Kan.) State to –19 rushing yards and 134 yards of total offense and defeated the Gorillas, 38-0, to advance to the NCAA semifinals against UC Davis. It will be the third NCAA semifinal appearance for North Dakota (12-1), which also made it to the semifinals in 1993 and 1994. Pittsburg State finished its season 11-2 overall after being shut out for the first time in 217 games dating back to Nov. 6, 1982, when the Gorillas lost, 13-0, at Nebraska-Kearney. It was Pitt State’s worst loss since Sept. 14, 1984, when the Gorillas lost, 62-14, at Missouri-Rolla. It was UND’s first shutout of the season and firstever postseason shutout in 17 postseason games, and it was the largest-ever margin of victory for the Sioux in the postseason, surpassing UND’s 33-point win over MSU, Mankato in 1993. UND got its first score with 21 seconds to play in the first quarter when Kelby Klosterman connected with wide receiver Dan Graf on a 16yard fade pass in the end zone to cap off a sevenplay, 85-yard drive. The Sioux extended their lead to 13-0 with 6:44 to play in the half on a 47-yard touchdown pass from Klosterman to wide receiver Jesse Smith on a deep post route. UND’s next touchdown came on one of the most memorable plays of the season. Facing a 1stand-15 from the UND 38-yard line, Klosterman found tight end Chad Mustard open on a sideline pass designed to gain about 15 yards. Mustard, however, broke several tackles while managing to stay in bounds, and he took it all the way to the end zone for a 62-yard touchdown play with 1:56 to play in the half. Moments later, UND had a 4th-and-5 at Pitt State’s 42-yard line. North Dakota Head Coach Dale Lennon sent kicker Cameron Peterka in for a field goal attempt, and with 28 seconds to play in the half Peterka made a 59-yard field goal that is an NCAA playoff record for any division (I-AA, II or III). It was Peterka’s 11th career field goal of 50 or more yards and seventh in 2001. The previous long field goal in an NCAA Division II playoff game was 50 yards by Troy State’s Ted Clem against North Dakota State on Dec. 8, 1984. The previous long field goal in any playoff game was 56 yards by Nevada’s Tony Zendejas against Idaho State on Nov. 26, 1983. The field goal tied Peterka’s career long, as he also kicked a 59-yarder at St. Cloud State on Nov. 4, 2000. In the third quarter, UND extended its lead to 26-0 on a 25-yard field goal by Peterka with 8:55 to play. Later in the third quarter, a snap on a punt attempt went over Lutz’s head into the end zone, and Lutz recovered but ran out of the end zone for a safety that made it 28-0 with 58 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND quarterback Kelby Klosterman threw two touchdown passes to Dan Graf, and Sioux running back Jed Perkerewicz rushed for 101 yards on 20 carries to lead North Dakota to a 14-2 win over UC Davis in the NCAA semifinals. Perkerewicz’s 100-yard game was his second of this year’s playoffs, and third 100-yard rushing game in four career playoff games. The win earned UND (13-1) a berth in the NCAA Division II national championship against Grand Valley (Mich.) State (13-0). Grand Valley State advanced to the title game by beating Catawba 34-16. UC Davis finished its season with a 10-3 record. The keys for UND in beating UC Davis were a ball-control offense, a defense that came up with big plays at crucial times and a vocal hometown crowd of 11,696. UC Davis was penalized 12 times for 84 yards, including seven illegal procedure penalties. The only score of the first half came when Klosterman found Graf open on a 25-yard touchdown pass with 3:39 to play in the second quarter. The Klosterman-Graf duo connected again on a 12-yard scoring pass with 10:26 to play in the third quarter to make it 14-0, UND. UC Davis got its only points on a safety with 30 seconds to play in the game. The Sioux were facing 4th-and-12 from their own 3-yard line, and UND head coach Dale Lennon decided to have Klosterman down the ball in the end zone, conceding two points to the Aggies. After the free kick, UC Davis drove to the Sioux 30-yard line, but UND defensive end Eric Halverson sacked UC Davis quarterback J.T. O’Sullivan to end the game. Although the Aggies had more total offense (376 yards) than the Sioux (308 yards)—UC Davis was the first team to outgain UND in total offense in a game this season—North Dakota controlled the clock for 31:59, while UC Davis was on offense for 28:01. UC Davis showed why it had the nation’s fourthranked offense in the regular season. The Aggies gained 376 total yards (327 passing, 49 rushing) against the Sioux defense, which finished the regular season ranked third nationally in total defense. It was the most yardage gained all season against UND, surpassing the previous opponent high of 339 by Winona State on Nov. 17 in the first round of the playoffs. UC Davis advanced past midfield seven times in 11 offensive possessions, and got to UND’s 10yard line or closer on four possessions. On each occasion, however, the Sioux defense came up with a big play. In the first half, on a 3rd-and-goal from the UND 7, O’Sullivan’s pass was intercepted by UND cornerback Dustin Thornburg in the end zone. It was one of two interceptions by Thornburg, who also broke up two other passes. At the end of the half, UC Davis advanced to the UND 10-yard line, but missed a field goal attempt from there. UC Davis’s best scoring chance of the second half came on its opening drive of the fourth quarter. The Aggies advanced to the Sioux 3-yard line, but were stopped four times from there, allowing UND to take over on

NCAA division ii championship
Strong safety Mike O’Neil intercepted two passes against Grand Valley State. FLORENCE, Ala. – UND running back Jed Perkerewicz’s one-yard touchdown run with 29 seconds remaining lifted North Dakota a 17-14 win over Grand Valley (Mich.) State in the NCAA Division II title game, giving UND its first-ever national championship in 105 years of football. Perkerewicz’s winning touchdown run capped a nine-play, 80-yard drive during which UND converted two fourth downs. The biggest of those was a 58-yard pass from Kelby Klosterman to Luke Schleusner on 4th-and-4 from the UND 41-yard line. On the play Schleusner ran what UND coaches call a “stick route,” running six yards downfield before cutting to the middle of the field. The play was designed to simply get enough yards for the first down, but Schleusner broke a tackle, got a key downfield block from Jesse Smith and cut to the far sideline before being brought down by the Lakers’ Dustin Cole at the one-yard line. Perkerewicz scored on the next play to give UND the lead. The Sioux’s game-winning drive began from UND’s 20-yard line after Grand Valley State had taken a 14-10 lead with 2:46 to play on a 12-yard touchdown run by quarterback Ryan Brady. Klosterman’s first two passes were incomplete, and then he scrambled for eight yards, making it 4th-and-2 at the UND 28-yard line. Klosterman converted the fourth down with a quarterback sweep around left end for seven yards. Next was a six-yard pass to Perkerewicz to make it 2nd-and-4 at UND’s 41. Klosterman threw an incompletion on second down, and on third down was nearly sacked but got back to the line of scrimmage, setting up the fourth-down pass to Schleusner. Grand Valley State led 7-3 after one quarter and the second and third quarters were scoreless. UND held off the Lakers on one third quarter drive when Sioux cornerback Craig Riendeau blocked a 20-yard Kevin Sonntag field goal attempt with 8:50 to play in the third quarter. UND grabbed a 10-7 lead early in the fourth quarter when Klosterman scored on a nine-yard bootleg run around the left side after a fake handoff and fake reverse. Grand Valley regained the lead, 14-10, on Brady’s run with 2:46 to play. The game was played in 63-degree temperatures, light rain and southwest wind blowing at 9 miles per hour. UND won the coin toss and elected to receive the opening kickoff. The Sioux capitalized on their game-opening drive with a 36-yard field goal by Cameron Peterka. The field goal capped a 10-play, 56-yard drive
highlighted by a 27-yard pass from Klosterman to Graf on UND’s second play from scrimmage. The Sioux forced Grand Valley State to punt on its first possession, and had a chance to extend its lead, but Peterka was wide left on a 47-yard field goal attempt. The Lakers followed that with a 10-play, 70-yard drive that concluded with a two-yard touchdown run by Grand Valley State quarterback Ryan Brady. It was only the fourth rushing touchdown allowed by UND all season. The Sioux were forced to punt on their next possession, but got the ball back when UND strong safety Mike O’Neil intercepted a Todd Wojciechowski pass and returned it to the Grand Valley State 33-yard line. UND advanced to the Lakers’ 10-yard line, but on fourth down Peterka’s 38-yard field goal came up short. The UND defense came up with another big play in the second quarter when O’Neil intercepted a Wojciechowski pass at the Sioux 12-yard line and returned it 44 yards to the UND 49-yard line. The Sioux moved to the 11-yard line, but the Grand Valley State defense stiffened, and Peterka’s 36-yard field goal was wide left. rand Valley State outgained UND 169-157 G in the first half, but the Sioux had an edge in time of possession, controlling the ball for 17:50, while the Lakers had it for 12:10. F or the game, UND had a 326 to 299 edge in total yards and held the ball for 35:22 to 24:38 for Grand Valley State. The Sioux gained 187 yards rushing and 139 passing. erkerewicz had 96 yards on 26 carries for North Dakota, while Klosterman P rushed 18 times for 61 yards. Klosterman completed eight of 27 passes for 139 yards. Schleusner caught three passes for 76 yards and Graf caught three balls for 41 yards.

2010 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL
“The Drive”
by Chuck Johnson
rospects hardly could have been dimmer for the University of North P Dakota football team. T he lights at Braly Municipal Stadium had been on since before noon, the rain varied between a mist and a drizzle, and the Sioux were on their own 20-yard line with 2 minutes 42 seconds to go. Grand Valley State University of Michigan had just scored a touchdown to take a 1410 lead. T he national championship of Division II football in the National Collegiate Athletic Association seemed beyond UND’s grasp. The Sioux offense was not noted for the quick strike. Rather, it was grind it out and hang your hat on the defense. s the sand in the hourglass trickled through, ever filling the lower A portion, UND tried to put together a drive. It was not easy, and it was not pretty. F rom the 20 after a touchback on the kickoff, UND quarterback Kelby Klosterman threw two passes that fell incomplete, one intended for wide receiver Dan Graf, the other for wide receiver Jesse Smith. On third and 10, Klosterman could not find a receiver, so he ran for eight yards. Timeout: 2 minutes 10 seconds left. Fourth and two. Chris Mussman, the UND offensive coordinator, up in the press box, called Klosterman’s number again. Seven yards around left end. First down on the 35. Clock stopped momentarily (first down). ext, Klosterman passed to tailback Jed Perkerewicz for six yards, then N threw incomplete to wide receiver Luke Schleusner, stopping the clock. Again, Klosterman found his receivers covered, and he ran for no gain. Timeout: 1 minute to go. Sioux still in Dakota Territory, on own 41, fourth and four. I n the press box, Mike Mannausau, graduate assistant working with the defensive line, implored Mussman to call the “stick route” pass play, part of the West Coast Offense. With earphones on, Mussman did not hear the advice, but called “stick route” anyway. “We hadn’t used the play for two weeks,” Mussman recalled later. “We hadn’t even run it in practice.” With Grand Valley sending everyone but the kitchen sink on a blitz to pressure the quarterback, Klosterman received excellent protection from his five down linemen and Perkerewicz and had time to pass to Schleusner over the middle. The play was designed to gain five yards, enough for the first down, but Schleusner broke free from a tackle and headed outside, toward the right sideline. Smith, with a broken nose suffered earlier in the game, crossed toward the middle and leveled a Grand Valley defender with a textbook open-field block. “All I could see was grass,” Schleusner recalled. “I’m not the fastest guy in the world, but I ran as fast as I could. When I got near the 10, it felt like I was carrying a plow, and someone caught me a yard short of the goal.” With the first down, the clock stopped with 36 seconds remaining.
UND wide receiver Luke Schleusner (center with trophy) scored on a 58-yard pass reception with less than one minute to play in the national title game.
ameron Peterka kicked the extra point, and UND led, 17-14, with 29 C seconds to go. The suspense was not over. Brent Lesniak of Grand Valley returned Peterka’s kickoff into UND territory. Peterka met him with a crushing tackle, but it did not matter, because Grand Valley was called for an illegal block and set back to its 20. T he Lakers could proceed no farther, and on the last play, Sioux linebacker Eric Schmidt barely missed sacking the quarterback, then got back on his feet and tackled the receiver at the Grand Valley 34. ll the scoring occurred in the first and last quarters. Peterka opened A with a 36-yard field goal. T he teams then traded quarterback rushes for scores. Ryan Brady went two yards for Grand Valley, then Klosterman nine yards for UND and Brady again for 12 yards. n the play before Brady’s second touchdown to put Grand Valley ahead O with 2 minutes 46 seconds left, UND cornerback Dustin Thornburg stripped the ball from receiver David Kircus, but Kircus recovered his own fumble on the UND 12-yard line. “ They scored on the next play, so that was a big swing for them,” Sioux Coach Dale Lennon said later. “That put our backs to the wall, but we came through. It was a team victory — offense, defense, special teams. We’re all a part of it. “ And we went about our business very calmly, very professionally. There was no panic, no chaos.” The late Chuck Johnson was the editor of Sioux Sports, a quarterly publication of the UND Alumni office, Letterwinner’s Club, and athletic department. A 1948 UND graduate from Williston, N.D., Johnson was a longtime sports editor at the Milaukee Journal.
As UND lined up for the next play, it started again, but the Sioux took immediate charge. Perkerewicz followed his blockers over left tackle, and when Grand Valley’s defenders packed the middle, Perkerewicz bounced to the outside and scored untouched.

First Round, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS
GRAND FORKS, N.D – Behind an opportunistic defense which took the ball away seven times, the Fighting Sioux beat Pittsburg State, 24-14, in the opening round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. Sophomore defensive back Josh Brandsted had an interception and a 14-yard fumble return for a touchdown that gave UND a lead that it would not relinquish.
The celebrations continued off-field as the Fighting Sioux won the NCAA Division II national championship trophy after defeating Grand Valley State 17-14 on Dec. 8 in Florence, Ala. UND nabbed the win after Jed Perkerewicz took in a one-yard touchdown run with just 29 seconds left on the clock. It was the first football national championship in 105 years of North Dakota football.
Adam Roland got the Sioux on the board first after a 10-yard rush down to the one-inch line, where he would punch it in one play later, putting UND up, 7-0. That’s where the score would stay heading into halftime as four PSU drives would be snuffed out by turnovers in the first half, three by interceptions. At the break, Gorilla quarterback Neal Philpot was 2-for-15 with three interceptions. On their first possession of the second half, the Gorillas would mount thier most successful drive, going 80 yards in ten plays, keeping the ball for just over five minutes. The drive would be capped by Philpot’s one-yard run to knot the score at 7-7. The Sioux had a long drive of its own on the ensuing possession, but came up short as Jeff Glas’ field goal attempt from 36 yards was wide left. Two plays later, Brandsted scooped up a Philpot fumble and raced 14 yards for a score and a 14-7 UND lead. Philpot would fumble again on the next Gorilla drive, leading to a 37-yard field goal by Glas to put UND up 17-7. Philpot, an All-MIAA quarterback, was not the force that led the Gorillas all season as he netted just 269 yards of total offense with four interceptions and one lost fumble. Philpot did, however, lead the Gorillas on another 80-yard drive ending in a 9-yard strike to Tim Austin to close the gap to 17-14. But the Sioux backfield keyed a 78-yard drive on the next possession, ending in a 11-yard touchdown pass from Joe Wilson to Dan Grossman to put UND back up by ten, 24-14. Pittsburg State would use completions of 12, 11 and 21 yards to get back in Sioux territory but a fumble by Austin thwarted that opportunity as the Sioux took over at their own 30-yardline. PSU was able to force a three-and-out on the Sioux drive, giving one last opportunity for the Gorillas to inch closer.

The previous high for takeaways in a game this season was three (two INTs, one fumble recovery) in the season opener against Minnesota-Crookston.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Caleb Johnson’s 69 yard reception with just over a minute left set up Adam Roland’s one-yard touchdown plunge as top-seeded North Dakota erased a late fourth quarter deficit to down visiting Winona State 36-29 in the NCAA Division II quarterfinal round Saturday at Alerus Center.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Adam Roland rushed for 107 yards, while quarterback John Bowenkamp threw three touchdown passes as the University of North Dakota advanced to its second Division II title game in three years with a 29-22 triumph over North Alabama Saturday at the Alerus Center.
Johnson, who had a nine-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter, pulled in a 15-yard slant from John Bowenkamp and raced down the sidelines to the Warriors’ five. Three plays later Roland gave UND the lead with 24 seconds left with his second touchdown of the day.
The Fighting Sioux (12-1) will meet last year’s national champion, Grand Valley State, in a rematch of the 2001 championship game in Florence, Ala. next Saturday. There was no fourth quarter rally this week. Instead senior wide receiver/kick returner Travis Lueck made sure Saturday’s semifinal game would start with a bang.
The Sioux clinched the second round triumph when Jason Peterson recovered a Brian Wrobel fumble at the UND 45-yard line as time expired. It was the fifth turnover UND’s defense forced in Saturday’s contest and possibly the biggest. The furious last minute rally moves the Fighting Sioux (11-1) into the Division II semifinals, where they will meet North Alabama next Saturday. Times and site will be determined later this week. After taking a 28-7 into the half, UND watched Winona State put together a second half rally to take a one-point lead with 1:52 remaining in the fourth quarter. Warrior tailback Bounthavy Khamratthanome hit Chris Samp with a 19-yard touchdown on a halfback pass play to give the Warriors their first lead of the game. Winona State outgained the Sioux 406-365, but fell victim to five turnovers – three fumbles and two interceptions – and a slow start. The Fighting Sioux scored on four consecutive possessions in the second quarter, including a 73-yard punt return for a touchdown by Travis Lueck, to build a 21-point lead before the half. It was the most points the Sioux have scored in a quarter this year since dropping 42 on Minnesota-Crookston in the second quarter of the season’s opening game. Johnson and Willis Stattleman caught touchdowns of nine and 19 yards, respectively from Joe Wilson in the 28-point period. The Sioux will host South Region champion North Alabama next Saturday in the NCAA Division II Semifinals. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. at the Alerus Center.

It was the East Grand Forks native’s eighth touchdown reception of the year, tying him for the team lead with Willis Stattelman. Another long punt return by Lueck helped set up a 27-yard field goal by Jeff Glas to put the Sioux up 9-0 midway through the first quarter. Following a Lions’ field goal, Bowenkamp threw his second touchdown pass of the day on a fiveyard pattern to David Wisthoff as the Sioux built a 19-3 edge heading into the fourth quarter. The defense held North Alabama to just eight yards rushing, the Lion’s worst total this season, and intercepted Harlon Hill candidate Will Hall twice in the second half. Ryan Manke’s fourth quarter pick helped the Sioux put the game away early in the final period.

First round, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — University of North Dakota junior place kicker Jeff Glas booted a 32-yard field goal in the second overtime to give UND a 20-17 win over St. Cloud State University in a first round game of the NCAA Division II football playoffs Saturday afternoon at Husky Stadium.
BDespite outgaining Grand Valley State by 125 yards in the second half, North Dakota fell to the Lakers 10-3 Saturday in the Division II national championship game. Quarterback John Bowenkamp led the Sioux on two 60 yard drives late in the game, but UND could only come away with three points on a 43yard Jeff Glas field goal. The junior quarterback completed 28-of-41 passes for 281 yards, while receivers Willis Stattleman and Caleb Johnson collected eight and seven catches respectively.
St. Cloud State fought back in the fourth quarter to overcome a 10-0 UND lead. North Dakota, ranked 14th this week, took their opening drive of the first quarter 70 yards in 14 plays culminating with a one-yard Adam Roland run at 6:37. UND led at the half 7-0.
There was no last second victory for the Sioux this week as Bowenkamp was intercepted by Mike Hoad deep in Laker territory to seal the win. Prior to the pick, UND had driven 58 yards on 12 plays in search of the tying score. The game was a battle of the defenses as the teams mustered just a combined 257 total yards and three total points in the first half. Grand Valley got on the board first with a 7:28 drive on the game’s opening possession, driving to the one-yard line, capped by David Hendrix’s 19-yard field goal. UND followed with a threeand-out possesion, but were able to get the ball back two plays later as Tyler Dahlen scooped up a Mario Locricchi fumble giving UND good field position. A 3rd-and-19 conversion on that drive would advance the ball to the Laker 37, but the drive stalled as Jeff Glas’ 47-yard field goal try missed wide left. The teams traded punts before UND snuffedout consecutive fourth-down tries by GVSU to end two scoring threats late in the first half. The Sioux mustered just 60 yards of total offense in the opening half, including minus-two yards on the ground. Grand Valley held over a nineminute advantage in time of possession in the first half and had 14 first downs to UND’s two. UND had its most impressive drive to open the second half, marching effectively until a fumbled snap turned into a 59-yard fumble return by Lucious Harris to set up Grand Valley State’s only touchdown. Johnson led all receivers with 101 yards through the air. Adam Roland finished with 43 yards on the ground and Willis Stattelman picked up 57 receiving yards to put both over the 1,000-yard mark on the season. It marks the first time that UND has had a 1,000-yard rusher and receiver in the same season. Truly one of the most memorable seasons of UND football, the team will gather one last time for a celebration at the Alerus Center on Tuesday at 6 p.m. Head coach Dale Lennon and select players will speak and will feature a highlight video of the team’s success.

HOUGHTON, Mich. — Senior quarterback John Bowenkamp came off the bench and threw two touchdown passes – including one on a fake field goal – to lead UND to a 20-3 victory over Michigan Tech in the second round of the NCAA playoffs this afternoon at Sherman Field.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Chris Belmore’s twoyard run with just under five minutes remaining powered the University of North Dakota past Grand Valley State, 19-15 in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals Saturday afternoon at Alerus Center.
Bowenkamp, who has missed much of the season due to injury, relieves starter Chris Belmore in the second quarter and engineered a touchdown drive on just his second series.
Belmore, who entered the game in the third quarter in place of John Bowenkamp, led the Fighting Sioux on two touchdown drives in the fourth quarter as UND overcame a 15-6 deficit in the final 11:29.
After a 30-yard punt return by Weston Dressler gave UND the ball inside Husky territory, Bowenkamp led the Sioux 32 yards in just four plays, finding receiver Dan Grossman on a 19yard strike. Grossman’s TD came on play after he had dropped what appeared to be a sure touchdown pass. The toss was also Bowenkamp’s first passing TD since the season opener against Delta State. That scoring drive gave UND a 10-0 halftime lead and all of the offense the Sioux would need on this day. Michigan Tech would open the second half with its most impressive drive. Featuring a heavy dose of running back and Harlon Hill finalist Lee Marana, the Huskies chewed up five and a half minutes of clock, but the drive stalled at UND’s 16-yard line when Brook Maier sacked MTU quarterback Chad Alger. Grant Botz booted a 33-yard field goal, but it would prove to be the only points for MTU against the nation’s top scoring defense. UND’s defense stiffened after that initial drive. Jason Hoffschneider picked off Alger on MTU’s next series and the Sioux forced another turnover to start the fourth quarter when the Huskies failed to convert on a fourth down gamble on their own 40. UND forced a third straight turnover when MTU punter Billy Koenig couldn’t handle a high snap and Dan Ullsperger recovered for UND at the Husky 34. But despite taking over inside MTU’s half of the field on those three consecutive possessions, the UND offense was unable to put any points on the board.
After Brandon Langston gave the Lakers a ninepoint lead with a 76-yard touchdown reception, Belmore led the Sioux on a four-play, 68-yard touchdown drive to bring the Sioux to within 15-12. BOX SCORE Score UND MTU

GRAND FORKS, N.D.—Quarterback Reed Manke and running back Chris Beatty each ran for a touchdown, Jeff Glas added three field goals and UND held Minnesota Duluth to 282 yards in total offense in a 23-12 win over the Bulldogs in the first round of the NCAA playoffs. The Fighting Sioux now advance to the second round and will travel to top-ranked Grand Valley State next Saturday.
PITTSBURG, Kan. — Top-ranked Pittsburg State scored 17 unanswered points in the second half to break open a 14-13 game and secure a 31-19 victory over 14th-ranked University of North Dakota before a sellout crowd of 9,983 fans at Brandenburg Field/Carnie Smith Stadium Saturday in the NCAA Division II national semifinals. The Gorillas (14-0) advance to the 2004 NCAA Division II National Championship game in Florence, Ala., on Dec. 11 to meet third-ranked Valdosta State University. Pitt State returns to the championship game for the first time since 1995 and the fourth time in school history (1991-92, ‘95). Senior quarterback Neal Philpot rushed for 122 yards and tossed three touchdown passes in the game, including a 12-yard scoring pass to junior tight end Brandon Twito that essentially sealed the win with 2:31 to play in the game. Philpot’s clinching pass came on 4th-and-2 at the UND 12 and the Gorillas leading 24-13. The play capped a nine-play, 63-yard drive that consumed five minutes and seven seconds of precious time off the scoreboard. The Fighting Sioux (11-3) mustered a 12-play scoring drive to make it 31-19 on Adam Roland’s 1-yard run with 43 seconds remaining, but Pitt State recovered the ensuing onside kick attempt and ran out the clock. Pitt State, which has shattered NCAA all-division records for scoring (806 points) and total offense (8,605 yards) in its magical run this season, took some time to get itself untracked against a North Dakota defensive unit that entered the game leading Division II in point allowed (10.8 ppg). UND got on the board first when Roland capped a short drive with a 12-yard run with 5:40 to play in the first quarter. Pitt State countered to knot the score with 4 seconds to play in the initial period when Philpot tossed an 8-yard TD pass to Jermaine Carpenter. The Fighting Sioux rebounded to take a 10-7 lead of Jeff Glas’ 30-yard field goal at the 9:17 mark of the second quarter, but Philpot and sophomore running back Germaine Race promptly led the Gorillas down the field, moving back in front, 14-10, on Race’s 3-yard run with 6:38 remaining in the half. Race finished the game with a game-high 19 carries for 158 yards for Pitt State, which compiled 304 total rushing yards in the game on 46 carries. The Fighting Sioux scored again on their opening possession of the second half, trimming PSU’s lead to 14-13 on a 32-yard field goal by Glas.
UND used a ball-control offense to amass 229 rushing yards and counter the prolific Minnesota Duluth passing attack. UMD quarterback Ted Schlafke passed 64 times to tie an NCAA Division II postseason record, completing 34 of them, but was only able to find the end zone once, that being a 26-yard pass to Ross Schumacher early in the second quarter that turned a 10-0 UND lead into a 10-6 game. The Sioux defense yielded just a pair of Britt Baumann field goals the rest of the way – a 35-yarder midway through the third quarter and a 20-yarder with 10:32 left in regulation.

The Schlafke-to-Schumacher touchdown connection capped a 13-play, 80-yard drive on the ensuing possession. But the Sioux were able to counter with an 11-play, 59-yard scoring drive of their own on the next series. A seven-yard run by receiver Weston Dressler gave UND the ball at the two-yard line and Manke finished off the drive on the next play with a two-yard TD plunge, giving the Sioux a 17-6 going into halftime. UND’s offense sputtered to start the second half with its first three drives ending with a punt and two fumbles, but the Sioux defense held, allowing just a Baumann field goal with 7:51 left in the quarter. The Sioux added to their lead early in the fourth quarter, when Glas nailed a 37-yarder with 14:07 left on the clock to give UND a 20-9.

First round, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS
ALLENDALE, Mich.—Quarterback Cullen Finnerty threw a pair of second-quarter touchdown passes to lead Grand Valley State to a 17-3 win over the Fighting Sioux in the second round of the NCAA playoffs this afternoon at Lubbers Stadium.
GRAND FORKS – Today’s day was Ryan Chappell’s. The freshman running back, playing in his first career NCAA playoff game, ran for 235 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 14.7 yards per attempt. In the process he broke a number of UND records.
The loss ends UND’s season at 10-3, while the Lakers now advance to next week’s Northwest Region final against Saginaw Valley State.
Today’s game was also about the offensive line, who not only opened up a number of holes that got Chappell started, but controlled the tempo of UND’s 42-0 victory over Winona State in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. The Sioux ended with 404 rushing yards and 595 total yards, the best offensive production all season.
Finnerty’s two touchdown passes came fourand-a-half minutes apart and provided the difference in a struggle between two of the top defensive teams in Division II football. It wasn’t until nearly five minutes had elapsed in the second quarter when the Lakers finally broke a scoreless deadlock on a broken play. Finnerty escaped the grasp of UND linebacker Zachariah Babington-Johnson and found tight end Jeremy Cochrane wide open at the Sioux 10 and Cochrane took it to the end zone untouched, giving the Lakers a 7-0 lead 4:22 into the second quarter. GVSU hit paydirt again on their next possession, as Finnerty connected with wide receiver Antione Trent for a 26-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 6:08 remaining in the half. The Sioux responded with their best drive of the half, marching to the GVSU 38. But running back Brandon Brady was hit at the 35 by linebacker Anthony Adams and the ball popped right into the arms of Laker defensive end Michael McFadden and GVSU took over at midfield. The turnover helped the Lakers preserve their 14-point lead heading into halftime. The Lakers had an opportunity to add to the lead on their first possession of the second half, but Greene missed a 48-yard field goal attempt wide left. Greene redeemed himself on the following possession, however, nailing a 50-yarder despite another low snap to give the Lakers a 17-0 lead with 5:01 left in the third quarter. UND finally broke the shutout when Jeff Glas capped a 15-play, 70-yard scoring drive with a 29-yard field goal, making it 17-3 with 10:05 left in the fourth quarter. Needing a defensive stop, the Sioux defense held on the next drive and the offense quickly put together what appeared to be another scoring drive with under five minutes remaining, but Reed Manke was sacked and lost the ball, and GVSU’s Dan Skuta recovered at his own 38 with 4:13 showing in the clock. But the Sioux defense would not budge and held once again, giving UND a final attempt to pull to within seven. Manke marched the Sioux to the four-yard line, but was forced from the game after an incompletion on second down. Chris Belmore came on in relief, but a sack and an incompletion later another Sioux drive was snuffed out with just under two minutes left in the game. Manke finished 26-of-41 for 268 yards, connecting with senior receiver Dan Grossman 12 times for 117 yards. Those 12 catches allowed Grossman to surpass Dan Graf as the team’s alltime receptions leader with 159. Brady finished as the game’s top rusher with 47 yards on 11 carries.

The Sioux held the Lakers, who had been averaging 225 rushing yards per game, to just 41 yards on 37 carries. Notes: Anderson made four solo tackles (14 total), giving him 229 in his career, the fourthmost in Division II history ... Glas’ field goal gave him 420 career points, the second-highest total by a kicker in college football history (all divisions). Glas set five Division II and 12 UND records this season ... Sophomore receiver Weston Dressler set a UND single-season record with 1,915 all-purpose yards. Former running back Shannon Burnell previously held the mark of 1,861 yards, which he set in 1993.
Chappell got the Sioux rolling on UND’s first possession of the game. After a Mike Salerno punt backed the Sioux to the 21-yard line, Chappell had a big hole and ran for 56 yards on UND’s first play. One play later Chappell rounded the left side of the offensive line and ran 23 yards for a touchdown. Stopped by a Reed Manke interception and a Lee Groeschl fumble, UND stalled on the next two drives. But Chappell got things going for Sioux again early in the second quarter. On a second-and-fourth from the Winona 24-yard line, Chappell rushed for 16 yards. Manke connected with Chappell for a one-yard reception on the next play, but a facemask penalty was called, giving the Sioux a first down from the three. Chappell scored his second touchdown on the next play, giving the Sioux a 14-0 lead with 13:18 remaining the second quarter. The Sioux defense held Winona scoreless on its next possession, an 11-play, 45-yard effort, which led to Chappell’s next touchdown. Chappell ran for 3, 16, 7 and 21 yards. The final effort went for the score. Chappell’s fourth touchdown was probably the prettiest. Chappell was surrounded at the line of scrimmage, but broke through and weaved his way through a number of defenders for the score. That touchdown gave the Sioux a 28-0 with 1:18 remaining in the second quarter. The Sioux led 28-0 at half, but Chappell quickly added to UND’s total. Once again on the second play of the half, Chappell found the end zone. This time Chappell went for 64 yards. He broke the line of scrimmage and outran the defense.

ALLENDALE, Mich.—For the second straight season, North Dakota’s bid for an NCAA Division II football championship has ended with a loss at Grand Valley State. The top-ranked Lakers used 27 first-quarter points to upend the eighthranked Sioux 30-20 this afternoon at Lubbers Stadium in the NCAA quarterfinal. Grand Valley’s first-quarter explosion proved to be too big a hole for the Sioux to climb out of, although UND made a spirited push by scoring 20 of the game’s final 23 points.
OMAHA, Neb.—Freshman kicker Brandon Hellevang booted a 26-yard field goal with 2:45 remaining and the Sioux defense held NebraskaOmaha to -8 yards on its final offensive possession as the Fighting Sioux defeated the Mavericks 38-35 this afternoon in NCAA second round action. UND’s defensive stand that set up Hellevang’s game-winning kick came after UNO’s offense scored touchdowns on five of its six full possessions through three quarters. The Mavericks were driving again midway through the fourth quarter until Sioux defenisve back Rory Manke (So., Detroit Lakes, Minn.) intercepted a Zach Miller pass at the UND 32. That put the ball in the hands of the elder Manke, Sioux senior quarterback Reed Manke, who cooly marched the Sioux 42 yards, chipping five and a half minutes off the clock, to put Hellevang in position. The Sioux defense held on UNO’s final possession, giving UND its only two defensive stops when it mattered most. Those defensive stands were a stark contrast from the first three quarters of the game, when the two offenses punched and counter-punched throughout. Even the first play of the game was symbollic of the offensive fireworks that were to come. UND won the coin toss and elected to receive, and junior Weston Dressler (Bismarck, N.D.) dashed his way 66 yards into Maverick territory. UND capped off the opening drive with a Manke-to-Blair Grover (So., Mequon, Wis.) two-yard touchdown. But as the would throughout the day, NebraskaOmaha came right back with an answer to UND’s points. Miller scored his first of four rushing touchdowns on the day, running off tackle right for a one-yad touchdown on the very next series. UND’s Will Kusler (Sr., Kulm, N.D.) blocked the extra point attempt and the Sioux held a 7-6 lead. On UND’s second offensive series, Manke engineered a seven-play, 54-yard drive that ended with a six-yard rushing touchdown by Dressler, the first of his career along the ground. Trailing 14-6, Miller and the Maverick offense went to work and the junior QB made it 14-13 game with a dazzling 14-yard scoring scamper on a broken play. The Mavericks grabbed their first – and only – lead of the game early in the second quarter, when UNO running back Nate Wurth busted a tackle and raced up the sideline for a 54-yard scoring run to make it 20-14 Mavs. This time the Sioux were forced to answer and they did. UND moved the ball 80 yards on nine plays, the last 39 of which were covered by a Manke-to-Brady Trenbeath (Jr., Cavalier, N.D.) pass and run over the middle and UND regained the lead at 21-20. UNO looked poised to take the lead late in the first half, but Andrew McCawley’s 39-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Steve Brennan (Sr., West Fargo, N.D.). Ten plays and 78 yards later, it was Manke to Dressler for a 19-yard scoring strike with 50.3 seconds left in the half and UND took a 28-20 lead into the locker room.

When GVSU senior quarterback and Harlon Hill Trophy finalist Cullen Finnerty hit Terry Mitchell in the end zone from 20 yards on the Lakers’ third offensive play, it kick-started a scoring run that had the Sioux trailing 27-0 late in the first qurter. On the Lakers’ second possession, Finnerty found receiver Eric Fowler in the back corner of the end zone and GVSU led 14-0 midway through the opening quarter.

The Lakers struck again, this time on UND’s next possession, when linebacker Anthony Adams stripped Sioux quarterback Reed Manke of the ball, and picked up and scampered untouched for a 28-yard touchdown. Then less than four minutes later Finnerty again connected with Fowler, who made a spectacular, one-handed diving catch in the end zone for a four-yard score. The extra point missed, but the Lakers owned a commanding 27-0 lead with 1:40 remaining in the quarter. UND’s offense did begin to click in the second quarter, and the Sioux finally got on the board five minutes in when Manke hit freshman receiver Brady Trenbeath over the middle, and Trenbeath broke several tackles on his way to a 46-yard touchdown. The Sioux appeared to be on the verge of making it a two-score game late in the first half, driving deep into Laker territory. But freshman running back Ryan Chappell coughed up the ball at the GVSU five-yard line, allowing the Lakers to hold on to their 27-7 lead going into the locker room. UND did eventually make it a 27-14 game when Brandon Brady hit paydirt on a one-yard scoring plunge with seven seconds left in the third quarter.

First round, ncaa dii playoffs
GRAND FORKS, N.D.--For the fifth consecutive season – and sixth time in seven years – the Fighting Sioux football team has a postseason date with two-time defending national champion Grand Valley State.
UND appeared to have stretched the lead to 14-0 on their next possession, but penalties resulted in the Sioux having a touchdown called back twice in the span of three plays. First, Chappell had a 25yard scoring run nullified by an illegal shift penalty on the Sioux, then freshman Josh Murray (Pepin, Wis.) had a 20-yard touchdown run wiped out by a holding call. The Sioux eventually settled for a 41yard Brandon Hellevang (So., Fargo, N.D.) field goal to lead 1-0 after the first quarter. Hellevang added a 19-yard boot four minutes into the second quarter, then Chappell found the end zone for the second time on UND’s next possession, rattling off a 17-yard touchdown to make it 20-0 Sioux with 6:46 remaining. The Warriors finally got on the scoreboard late in the half, albeit in a rather unconventional manner. Facing 3rd-and-long from his own 1-yard line, Sioux quarterback Danny Freund (Kenosha, Wis.) inadvertently threw a pass at one of his offensive lineman while escaping pressure, resulting in an intentional grounding penalty and a safety for the Warriors. Those would be the only points on the day for the Warriors, who came into the game averaging 480 yards of total offense per game. Senior receiver Weston Dressler (Bismarck, N.D.), Freund and freshman Steven Battle (Amesbury, Mass.) each found the end zone along the ground in the second half, and Hellevang added his third field goal from 24 yards. After Chappell’s standout first half, it was the freshman Battle who took a bow in the game’s final 30 minutes, finishing the day with 80 yards on 19 carries, including the first touchdown of his career. Notes: UND is now 10-0 all-time in playoff games at the Alerus Center ... The victory was the 90th at UND for head coach Dale Lennon, tying him with predecessor and current NCC commissioner Roger Thomas as the winningest coach in Sioux history ... Chappell has set a UND single-season
Second Round, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS
UND’s storied run at the Division II level, one that spanned more than a century of football, came to an end this afternoon with a 21-14 NCAA second round playoff loss at top-ranked and two-time defending national champion Grand Valley State. The win was the 39th row for the Lakers, who have won four of the last five Division II titles. It did not come without a fight from the seventh-ranked Sioux, who were hit hard by injuries to key players, both prior to and during the game.
The third-seeded Sioux will now travel to Allendale, Mich., to face No. 2 seed and top-ranked Grand Valley State next Saturday, marking the third straight year UND will face the Lakers at Lubbers Stadium. The year’s Sioux squad advanced to the second round with a potent ground game and a stingy defense. UND racked up 298 yards rushing, while limiting the Warriors to 28 yards on the ground and just 236 yards of total offense.
Chappell’s first score – an eight yard scamper on UND’s opening possession – capped off an efficient 65-yard drive in which all five Sioux plays resulted in a first down.
November 24, 2007 • Lubbers Stadium • Allendale, Mich.
ALLENDALE, Mich.--The Fighting Sioux have played their final NCAA Division II football game.
UND got rushing touchdowns from four different players while the Sioux defense held Winona State’s high-powered offense off of the scoreboard in a 44-2 win over the Warriors this afternoon in the first round of the NCAA postseason.
Sioux sophomore running back Ryan Chappell (Grand Forks), who ran for a UND playoff record 265 yards and five touchdowns against WSU a year ago in the playoffs, followed a similar script today. Chappell carried 19 times for 176 yards and two touchdowns, with both touchdowns coming in the first half when he rattled off 143 yards on 14 carries.

record with 2,172 yards, breaking the record that was set in each of the last two seasons by teammate Dressler ... Chappell’s 1,632 rushing yards this season are the third-most in UND single-season history, topped only by Phillip Moore (1,771 in 1997 and 1,722 in 1998) ... In two career games against Winona State, Chappell has rushed 35 times for 441 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 12.6 yards per carry ... The Sioux were 8-for-8 in the red zone while the Warriors were held scoreless in two trips.
The Lakers built a 14-0 halftime lead while limiting UND’s high powered offense to just 83 yards and five first downs in the first half. Then, in the third quarter, UND senior punter Brent Halfmann (Stephen, Minn.) was unable to corral a low snap and had his punt attempt blocked, giving the Lakers the ball at the Sioux 22-yard line. One player later, GVSU quarterback Brad Iciek lobbed a pass over the middle to Jonn Mathews and the junior tight end made a diving catch just inside the Sioux goal line to push the lead to 20-0. GVSU kicker Todd Carter missed the extra point attempt, but a personal foul call against the Sioux gave Carter another chance, and he made good on the second try to make it a 21-0 Laker lead. But then the Sioux began to rally against long odds for the second straight year at Lubbers Stadium. After a poor Grand Valley punt gave UND the ball at the Laker 39-yard line, the Sioux began benefitting from some breaks. On the first play of the drive, freshman quarterback Jake Landry (Grand Forks), playing in relief of injured starter Danny Freund (Jr., Kenosha, Wis.), fired a rocket over the middle that bounced off of the hands of Laker free safety Jacob McGuckin at his own 15-yard line. The ball ricocheted in the air behind McGuckin, were UND senior receiver Weston Dressler (Bismarck, N.D.) calmly hauled it in at the 10 and raced the rest of the way to the end zone. Sophomore kicker Brandon Hellevang (Fargo, N.D.) had his extra point attempt blocked – his first miss in 106 attempts – but the Sioux were on the board at 21-6 with 7:27 left in the third quarter. With Grand Valley State going for it on 4th-and-1 from the Sioux 41, sophomore linebacker Bobby Stroup (Fargo, N.D.) burst through the line and stopped Lakers’ running back Blake Smolen for a loss of two, turning the ball over to the Sioux offense at their own 43 late in the quarter.

Four players later freshman running back Josh Murray (Pepin, Wis.) found the end zone from three yards out, and then added a two-point conversion to cut the deficit Adams on 4th-and-1 from the Sioux 22. to 21-14 with 1:08 left in the third quarter. Landry finished the game 8-for-12 for 110 yards and the But that same 21-14 count would still be on the stadium touchdown to Dressler, who finished with five catches for clock 15 minutes later, despite a handful opportunities 94 yards. Freund completed 9-of-17 passes for 66 yards before leaving the game. for the Sioux to tie the game. UND’s best chance to pull even came after a James Berezik fumble inside Laker territory that was recovered by Stroup. But the Sioux, hindered by a holding penalty, were unable to move the ball and were forced to punt. The Lakers then strung together a 14-play, seven-minute drive that ran off all but the game’s final two minutes. GVSU converted on two key third downs and a fourth down to keep the drive alive, then gambled on a 4thand-3 on UND’s 15 that was thwarted by a Donovan Alexander (Sr., Winnipeg, Manitoba) pass breakup. UND’s final comeback hopes were extinguished, though, when Landry was sacked by Laker All-American Anthony
