Coach Sawyer

T

om Sawyer has brought consistent success to the Winona State football team like no head coach before him. Winona State was ninth nationally in total wins from 2000-2009, winning six NSIC titles in that span. All told, Sawyer has led WSU to nine league crowns.

A

Warrior through and through, Sawyer has led Winona State to seven postseason appearances in the last 11 seasons, including five trips to the NCAA Division II Playoffs. A balanced offensive playbook and an attacking defense have been trademarks of the Winona State program since Sawyer became the head coach in 1996. Six Warriors have been selected as NSIC Offensive Players of the Year under Sawyer, as have five members of the WSU defense. Additionally, a Warrior has been a finalist for the Harlon Hill Award, given to the top player in Division II, six times.


Warrior Coaches Mike Budziszewski: “Mike in just his third year has put together a stable of running backs that are possibly the league’s best crew! He is smart, hardworking and loves the statistical aspect of the game.”

A.J. Blazek: “AJ has all the tools to lead the Warrior offense. He has experience at the highest level with the Iowa Hawkeyes and has turned that experience over to the Warriors. He leads our Warrior Community projects and is the heart and soul of our service.”

Mitch Madland: “Mitch and his family have been a part of the Warrior family for a couple generations. His love for the game and for WSU is in his blood and shows up in everything he does.”

Steve Opgenorth: Coach “O” lives and breathes Warrior Football. He recruits with a passion that nobody can match! He is the mentor of our Special Teams and has made it truly special.”

Brian Curtin: “Brian is a true Warrior; he has been with the program his whole professional career, married a WSU grad and is raising his children in Winona. He is dedicated to not only football at WSU but also plays a huge role in our academic success.”


Warrior Coaches

Dave Braun: “Dave is one the up-and-coming great young coaches in the nation. It is great that he has decided to come back “home” and coach the Warrior defense. He is a model citizen and trusted teacher.”

Kurt Troutman: “A second year coach, Kurt has made a tremendous impact on our players and staff. You will see and hear his enthusiasm for the game and for the Warriors. He has a brilliant mind that make us all look at things a bit differently.”

Cameron Keller: The newest member of our staff, Cameron is a quarterback’s dream as a coach! He played the position, coaches it and loves it! He is also a great debater as a former Major League umpire.”

Ryan Markgraf: “As a first year Graduate Assistant, he is already coaching at a much higher level. He is another WSU alum that is a 100 percent dedicated to all the behind the scene duties that allow a program to run successfully.”

NSIC THE HISTORY OF THE NSIC

F

rom its modest origin as a six-team alliance nearly eight decades ago, the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference has matured into a 14-team union of upper Midwest colleges and universities to form arguably the strongest affiliation in NCAA Division II. The NSIC can trace its roots to 1932 when six schools, including Bemidji State University, Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minnesota State University Moorhead, St. Cloud State University, University of Minnesota Duluth and Winona State University signed on as charter members. All remain active subscribers of the league today. Southwest Minnesota State University was added in 1969, followed by Northern State University in 1978, Wayne State College (NE) in 1998, Concordia University-St. Paul and the University of Minnesota, Crookston in 1999, the University of Mary and Upper Iowa University in 2006, and Augustana College, in 2008. Minnesota State, St. Cloud State and Minnesota Duluth later left the league to join the North Central Conference but returned to the NSIC in 2008. University of Minnesota, Morris and Michigan Tech University were once part of the NSIC family as well. In July of 2012, the NSIC will again expand with the addition of Minot State University and the University of Sioux Falls, bring the league to 16 members for the 2012-13 academic season. In 1992 the NSIC became a true athletic showcase for both men and women with the merger of the traditional Northern Intercollegiate Conference (NIC) and the Northern Sun Conference (NSC), the home of women’s athletics since 1979. Before NSIC affiliates became certified for championship competition in the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1995, its member institutions filled prominent roles in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). NIC and NSC clubs annually dispatched qualified student-athletes to national tournaments and captured several NAIA teams and individual championships. The NSIC celebrates its 80th season this year and clearly continues to make a major imprint nationally, winning nine national titles in the last six years. Winona State men claimed NCAA II Basketball Championships in 2006 and 2008 and narrowly missed a third crown, falling in a last second shot in 2007. In addition, the Warriors established a NCAA II record of 57 consecutive victories. Concordia University launched an ongoing streak of four consecutive NCAA II Volleyball Championships in 2007. In 2008 the Golden Bears won 37 straight matches after a season opening loss on their way to a second consecutive title and scripted a marvelous encore in 2009 with a perfect 37-0 finish, a third straight national crown and a winning streak of 74 straight matches. In 2010 the Golden Bear extended that win streak to 75 before dropping their second match of the season. They started 2010 with a 10-4 record before ripping off 22 straight wins on their way to their fourth straight national title. In a most surprising run, Minnesota Duluth completed a perfect 15-0 season by winning the 2008 NCAA Division II Football Championship. The Bulldogs, limited to only 24 scholarships by league rule, swept a field of fully-funded teams, including top ranked Grand Valley State and number three Northwest Missouri State. Two years later in 2010 the Bulldogs repeated that feat, going 15-0 again to win the national championship. The Bulldogs became the first NCAA DII football squad to win two national championships with undefeated records. Minnesota State added more luster to the league by finishing 32-2 and claiming the 2008-09 NCAA II Women’s Basketball Championship. The Mavericks rolled to a wild 103-94 victory over Franklin Pierce to set a NCAA record for total points in the title game. Since 2000, the NSIC has also participated in Mineral Water Bowl. Hosted by the Quarterback Club of Excelsior Springs, Mo., the Mineral Water Bowl matches the highest-finishing teams from the NSIC and the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) not selected for the NCAA Division II football playoffs. Winona State defeated Missouri Western State, 43-41, in triple overtime, the Warriors, first-ever NCAA II post-season win in 2000. In addition, NSIC student-athletes have made a major splash nationally as well, collecting a batch of individual titles. Concordia setter Maggie McNamara was honored as the NCAA Division II Honda Women’s Athlete of the Year, the latest NSIC representative decorated with national Player of the Year honors. The NSIC has also had three athletes awarded with the NCAA Elite 88 Award, which is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s 88 championships. Earning the award were Kendra Huettl (Minnesota State, Softball, 2011), Matt Braithwaite (Augustana College, Cross Country, 2010) and Lauren Brown (Winona State, Outdoor Track and Field, 2010). Member schools continue to emphasize the educational, entertainment and unifying value of sports while pointing with pride to the many advantages to be gained by attending these colleges and universities. The NSIC is committed to providing rewarding experiences for its student-athletes, and while the challenges that loom are sizable, indeed, the NSIC is surely well positioned for the future.


2011 WINONA STATE OUTLOOK

Quarterbacks Returners Bryan Bradshaw Alex Nelson

Tight Ends

So.#, 6-2, 170, Crystal Lake, IL (Crystal Lake) Sr.#, 6-5, 230, Spring Valley, MN (Kingsland)

Redshirts and Newcomers Spencer O’Reilly Fr., 6-0, 190, Cannon Falls, MN (Cannon Falls) Cole Solomon Fr., 6-4, 215, Livingston, WI (Iowa-Grant) John Tiegland Jr.#, 6-4, 220, Indianola, IA (Indianola/Nebraska-Omaha) Bryan Bradshaw made three starts in 2010, leading the Warriors to a 2-1 record in those games. An accurate thrower, Bradshaw threw for 745 yards and three touchdowns as a freshman while completing 65-of-109 pass attempts while splitting time with Evan Aber. He will be pushed for playing time by a pair of experienced signal callers. Alex Nelson is a senior who missed fall camp last season with an injury. Also in the mix will be junior John Tiegland, a transfier from Nebraska-Omaha who will be eligible to play immediately. Tiegland started ten games for UNO a season ago and was fifth nationally in passer rating. Spencer O’Reilly and Cole Solomon will spend the season getting acclimated to the Warrior system as well.

Running Backs Returners Theo Burkett Curtis Dewberry Mike Houts Chichi Ojika Rayon Simmons

Jr., 6-0, 210, Des Moines, IA (West Des Moines Valley) Sr.#, 5-8, 185, Clermont, FL (East Ridge/North Greenville) Jr.#, 6-0, 220, Bloomington, MN (Kennedy) So.#, 5-8, 185, New Brighton, MN (Irondale) Jr.#, 5-10, 210, University City, MO (Christian Brothers/UNI)

Redshirts and Newcomers Taylor Hauser Fr.#, 5-10, 190, Holmen, WI (Holmen) Adam Lentz Fr., 5-7, 170, Rochester, MN (Lourdes) Jake Perner Fr., 6-0, 190, Black River Falls, WI (Black River Falls) Anthony Resnick Fr.#, 5-11, 175, Cambridge, WI (Cambridge) No other position on the Winona State roster is as deep or as talented as running back. The Warriors are stacked with quality backs who can both pound opposing defenders and break off huge chunks of yardage when in the clear. Junior Rayon Simmons is in the mist of one of the best careers ever for a Warrior back. Simmons led the NSIC with 1,252 yards in 2010 and is one of seven players in program history to gain 2,000 yards on the ground. He had five games of at least 100 yards, including better than 150 yards in the final three games of the year. Curtis Dewberry is one of the most explosive athletes in the conference and a great complement to the bruising Simmons. Both players have reached 1,000 all-purpose yards in each of the last two seasons. Theo Burkett is extremely talented but has been hit by injuries in his first two seasons. Despite only getting 61 carries last season, Burkett was able to gain 399 yards and score six touchdowns. Chichi Ojika saw limited time as a freshman but is another option in the WSU stable of backs. Mike Houts is one of the best pure blocking backs in the league, paving the way for the runners behind him.

Wide Receivers Returners Jay Adams Harrison Barton Sean Hertz Tim Ohlrich Tyler Speer

Jr., 5-11, 190, Oviedo, FL (Lake Howell) So.#, 6-2, 190, De Pere, WI (Notre Dame Academy) Sr.#, 6-2, 190, Lake Villa, IL (Lakes Community) So., 6-0, 185, St. Charles, IL (St. Charles North) Jr.#, 6-3, 200, Lanesboro, MN (Lanesboro)

Redshirts and Newcomers Tamrick Atwood Fr., 5-9, 180, Bettendorf, IA (Bettendorf) Kyle Czech Jr., 6-2, 190, Medford, WI (Medford Area) Alan May Fr., 6-2, 185, Adams, MN (Southland) Josh Mikes Fr., 6-3, 190, South Elgin, IL (St. Charles North) Tyler Newsome Fr., 6-3, 185, Joliet, IL (Joliet West) Roy Polk, Jr. Jr., 6-0, 170, Oakland, CA (Henderson State/Chabot JC) Riley Tutas Fr., 6-2, 205, Sheboygan, WI (Sheboygan South) Dylan Ulferts Fr., 6-3, 195, Shakopee, MN (Shakopee) Ryan Woodard Fr., 6-0, 165, Winona, MN (Winona) There is a blend of youth and experience for Winona State at receiver. Senior Sean Hertz led the team with seven touchdown grabs last year, making 26 total catches for 276 yards. He is especially a threat in the red zone where his size and leaping ability allows him to get to balls others can’t reach. Tyler Speer made a splash with 13 receptions for 215 yards and a pair of scores as well. Junior Jay Adams will be counted on for increased production after spending another year in the WSU system. Warrior coaches were aggressive going after receivers in the 2011 recruiting class, adding seven players at the position group to the roster. Expectations are high for incoming freshmen Tamrick Atwood, Josh Mikes, Tyler Newsome, Riley Tutas, Dylan Ulferts and Ryan Woodard, while junior college transfer Roy Polk, Jr. can make an immediate splash as well.

Returners Jacob Bambenek Kyle Melcher Jim Montgomery Erik Steine

So, 6-2, 235, Trempealeau, WI (G-E-T) Jr., 6-6, 250, Owatonna, MN (Owatonna) So.#, 6-4, 250, Carol Steam, IL (Glenbard) Sr., 6-3, 245, Black River Falls, WI (Black River Falls)

Redshirts and Newcomers Alex Jensen Fr.#., 6-4, 255, Apple Valley, MN (Eastview) Ismal Karon Fr.#, 5-11, 220, Minnetonka, MN (Minnetonka) Daniel Lohff Fr., 6-5, 215, Shawano, WI (Shawano Community) Tight end is an important position in the WSU pro-style offense, and the team has several threats who can move the chains while also providing solid blocking for the run game. Junior Kyle Melcher led Warrior tight ends with 15 receptions for 129 yards and two scores. Erik Steine added five grabs and a score from the position. Alex Jensen and Ismal Karon redshirted a year ago and will be looked to for production.

Offensive Line Returners Cory Christianson Nick Faber Richard Lilla Matt Mason James Poliquin Nick Powers Mark Smit

So.#, 6-3, 285, Apple Valley, MN (Holy Angels/N. Illinois) Sr.#, 6-9, 360, Rochester, MN (John Marshall) So.#, 6-2, 290, Rochester, MN (John Marshall) Sr., 6-5, 300, Marathon, WI (Marathon) So., 6-5, 275, Gurnee, IL (Warren Township) Jr., 6-1, 270, Minnetonka, MN (Hopkins) So.#, 6-2, 260, Minocqua, WI (Lakeland Union)

Redshirts and Newcomers Tyler Bross Fr., 6-6, 300, Menomonee Falls, WI (Menomonee Falls) Nicholas Fisher Fr., 6-4, 250, Hartland, WI (Arrowhead) Roszell Gayden Jr.#, 6-6, 300, Brooklyn Park, MN (Robinsdale/Auburn) Dane Jensen Fr., 6-4, 250, Ames, IA (Ames) Blake Lanphier Fr., 6-6, 300, New Sharon, IA (North Mahaska) Brandon Laufenberg Fr., 6-1, 280, Mt. Hope, WI (River Ridge) Zachary Lowe Fr., 6-2, 240, Gurnee, IL (Warren Township) Kinjo Omar Fr., 6-5, 300, Springfield, MO (Glendale) Ben Reinartz Fr., 6-5, 305, Davenport, IA (Assumption) Vance Ross Fr.#, 6-5, 275, Evanston, IL (Notre Dame) Cale Schliesman Fr.#, 6-6, 275, Marshfield, WI (Marshfield) Dylan Seitz Fr., 6-2, 230, Heartland, WI (Arrowhead) Joe Smith Fr.#, 6-2, 275, Mabel, MN (Mabel-Canton) There are certainly holes to be filled on the offensive line, replacing All-NSIC selection Jason Enos and the steady Casey Clark. Fortunately for the Warriors, their line has plenty of experience returning. Center Richard Lilla was an all-conference performer as a freshman and will increase his leadership roll after an outstanding rookie season. Nick Faber is a mountain while


2011 WINONA STATE OUTLOOK sophomore Cory Christianson also saw plenty of action a year ago and will have a chance to replace Enos at guard. Senior Matt Mason can play either tackle spot and is a veteran leader on a line that helped the Warriors average better than 200 yards rushing and 417 yards offensively last season. Junior transfer Roszell Gayden has the skills to be a dominant force on the line for WSU. Gayden was one of the top junior college recruits in the nation when he signed with Auburn last year but missed the season with injuries. He can immediately step in and provide production for what should be another potent Warrior attack.

Defensive Line Returners Parker Detjens Kyle English Lewis Johnson Matt Kaderly Colin McGuire Travis Polster William Sherard Matt Ulrich Maurice Waters

So., 6-3, 245, Wautoma, WI (Wautoma) So.#, 6-2, 255, Niles, IL (Notre Dame) Jr., 6-2, 285, St. Paul, MN (Como Park) Sr.#, 6-5, 250, Monticello, WI (Monticello) Jr.#, 6-5, 245, Rockford, IL (Boylan Catholic) So.#, 6-5, 245, Chaska, MN (Chaska) Jr.#, 6-3, 250, Brown Deer, WI (Brown Deer) Sr.#, 6-8, 300, Rushford, MN (Rushford-Peterson) Sr.#, 6-3, 240, Fayetteville, NC (Dougals-Byrd)

Redshirts and Newcomers Anthony Frisby Fr.#, 6-3, 275, Columbia Heights, MN (Columbia Heights) Tyler Kubler Fr.#, 6-2, 235, Eden Prairie, MN (Eden Prairie) Robert Ndondo-Lay Fr., 6-3, 175, Minneapolis, MN (De La Salle) David Parmentier Fr., 6-4, 245, Kenosha, WI (Kenosha Tremper) Andrew Robinson Fr., 6-1, 225, Arcadia, WI (Arcadia) Stephen Styza Fr., 6-4, 260, Oconomowoc, WI (Country Lutheran) The transition from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 in 2010 was a relatively smooth one, thanks in large part to the Warrior defensive line. A solid group of players should be even better this season with all three starters back for another year. The unit is led by senior Matt Ulrich, a 6-8, 300 pound run-stopping force in the middle. A two-time all-conference selection, Ulrich can make plays in the backfield and consistently commands a double-team. Lewis Johnson was also an All-NSIC player and is joined by senior Matt Kaderly to bookend the WSU defensive line. The two ends tied for the team lead with 3.5 sacks in 2010. Winona State has depth at the position and can rotate fresh linemen in almost at will. Kyle English was impressive as a freshman while William Sherard and Maurice Waters saw significant playing time as well.

Linebackers Returners Chad Cheek Alex Coulter Jacob Harmon Alex Kautza Jeff Morgan Ryan Singler William Skaden

Sr.#, 6-3, 225, Clermont, FL (East Ridge) Jr.#, 6-2, 225, St. Cloud, MN (St. Cloud Tech) Sr.#, 5-11, 230, Dodge Center, MN (Triton) Sr.#, 5-11, 230, Antigo, WI (Antigo) Jr., 6-1, 220, Appleton, WI (Appleton) So.#, 6-2, 215, Shiocton, WI (Shiocton) Jr.#, 6-2, 215, Lewiston, MN (Lewiston-Altura)

Redshirts and Newcomers Aaron Anderson-Walker Fr.#, 6-1, 200, St. Paul, MN (Roseville Area) Kyle Coon Fr., 5-11, 200, Boscobel, WI (Boscobel) Rashad Gayden Sr., 6-3, 240, Brooklyn Park, MN (Robbinsdale/San Jose State) Ryan Gerts Fr.#, 6-1, 215, Bloomingdale, IL (Lake Park) Charlie Haben Fr., 6-2, 220, Edina, MN (Academy of Holy Angels) Ian Murray Fr.#, 6-3, 215, Plymouth, WI (Plymouth) Austin Opfer Fr., 6-1, 200, Springfield, MO (Glendale) Gage Ridenour Fr., 6-2, 220, Bettendorf, IA (Bettendorf) Garrett Schaefer Fr.#, 6-3, 195, Dodge City, MN (Triton) Dylan Thill Fr., 6-1, 220, Turtle Lake, WI (Turtle Lake) Morgan Weaver Fr.#, 6-1, 180, Country Club Hills, IL (Hillcrest) The WSU defensive scheme has been designed to highlight an athletic group of playmaking linebackers, and there are plenty of options to choose from for the Warriors. While the unit does have to replace the team’s second leading tackler, Cody Dummer, it returns plenty of experienced playmakers. Alex Coulter had a breakout sophomore season, netting 51 tackles while Chad Cheek made 43 stops to form one of the best pairs of outside linebackers in the league. Transfer Rashad Gayden, who comes to WSU from San Jose State, can provide the production the WSU defensive coaches are looking for from one of the middle linebackers. Seniors Jacob Morgan and Alex Kautza, as well as juniors Jeff Morgan and William Skaden will look to be the ones who step into the starting lineup as well. The WSU coaching staff signed a large group of linebackers in order to get faster on defense, and any one of the freshmen could be in line for playing time.

Defensive Backs Returners Mike Barton Kenneth Damron Patrick Lazzara Steven Liegel Mitch Lunder Otis Morris Chris Norgaard Jaymes Roubal Matt Splon Ryan Williams Lucas Wolf

So., 6-1, 175, Wheeling, IL (Wheeling) Sr.#, 6-1, 190, Sandy, UT (Jordan) So., 6-0, 185, Chicago, IL (Notre Dame) Sr.#, 6-0, 180, Spring Green, WI (Spring Green) So.#, 6-1, 190, New Prague, MN (New Prague) Jr.#, 5-8, 180, St. Cloud, MN (St. Cloud Tech) Jr., 5-11, 180, Spring Lake Park, MN (Spring Lake Park) Jr., 6-0, 220, Barron, WI (Barron) So., 6-1, 170, Wheeling, IL (Wheeling) Jr.#, 5-11, 195, Paddock Lake, WI (Carmel Catholic) Sr.#, 5-10, 190, Elmwood, WI (Elmwood)

Redshirts and Newcomers Larry Mbayu Fr.#, 6-1, 185, Oakdale, MN (Roseville Area) Chris Thomas Fr., 5-11, 188, Blaine, MN (Blaine) Winona State was hit by injury after injury in the defensive secondary last season, becoming so thin at the position that a receiver had to be converted to a cornerback midseason. A healthy group should improve the unit’s performance in 2011. Cornerbacks Lucas Wolf and Chris Norgaard are the best shutdown tandem in the league. Wolf was limited to just five games in 2010 but Norgaard had another strong year, making 51 tackles and breaking up six passes. Carvin Proctor and Otis Morris saw extended action at the corner spots a year ago and will be counted on for increased production after gaining extensive experience. The unit will have to replace all-conference safety Ryan Jirgl, who led the team with 75 tackles and intercepted four passes. Steven Liegel made 33 tackles while starting at strong safety and is capable of quarterbacking the defense from his position. Ryan Williams intercepted two passes and made 34 tackles and will be able to step up and replace Jirgl’s snaps. Jaymes Roubal and Mitch Lunder will also challenge for playing time in the defensive backfield.

Specialists Returners Curtis Dewberry Cullen Fahey Thomas Kinney

Sr.#, 5-8, 185, Clermont, FL (East Ridge/North Greenville) Sr., 6-2, 175, Crystal Lake, IL (Crystal Lake) So., 5-10, 165, Johnsburg, IL (Johnsburg)

Redshirts and Newcomers Nick Taylor Fr., 5-10, 180, Cary, IL (Cary Grove) Jordan Weyer Fr., 6-1, 185, Baldwin, WI (Baldwin) No return man was better then Curtis Dewberry in 2010. The shifty back from Clermont, Fla. led the nation in punt returns, netting 20.4 yards per attempt while scoring two touchdowns on returns in the process. Dewberry only returned 12 punts on the season as teams consistently kicked away from him, fearing what can happen with the ball in his hands. Dewberry will lead both the kickoff and punt return teams again in 2011, putting the Warriors in outstanding field position on a regular basis. Warrior coaches will have plenty of options to send deep with Dewberry. Chris Norgaard returned four kicks at a 13.5 yard per return average last season and is a candidate to be back there once again. The kicking game is strong for the Warriors as well. Senior Cullen Fahey averaged 38.6 yards on 40 punts last year. He has both a strong and accurate leg, booming a long punt of 60 yards while also pinning opponents inside their 20-yardline ten times. Thomas Kinney has placekicker duties locked down after converting 10-of-18 kicks as a freshman. He connected on five of six attempts inside 30 yards and made two kicks from beyond 40 yards.

Tom Sawyer

Head Coach

It did not take long for Tom Sawyer to turn the Winona State football program into a power. After becoming the program’s 21st head coach in 1996, Sawyer has pushed the Warriors to heights previously unseen. Sawyer has led the Warriors to a winning record in 14 consecutive years and has won double-digit games in a single campaign four times. He is first in program history in both wins and career winning percentage. The Warriors have played in the NCAA Division II Playoffs five times under Sawyer as well as two Mineral Water Bowl appearances. Sawyer has recruited and developed outstanding football talent, including five Harlon Hill Award candidates, 42 All-Americans, and 221 All-NSIC selections. Sawyer has also coached several Warriors who have gone on to play professional football. Sawyer led the Warriors to a 9-2 record in 1997 in his second year as head coach, orchestrating a five win jump from his rookie campaign. His efforts earned him NSIC Coach of the Year honors, as the Warriors were undefeated in conference play on their way to the team’s first conference title under Sawyer. The nine victories were a then-school record. Travis Walch was named NSIC Offensive Player of the Year, joining Matt Brandt who won the award in 1996. Winona State won nine games again in 1998 and repeated as NSIC Champions. Quarterback Jake Goettl earned NSIC Offensive Player of the Year honors, the sixth consecutive year a Warrior had earned the award, dating back to 1993. No other program in conference history has had more then three consecutive league Offensive Players of the Year. In 2000 Sawyer won his third NSIC Championship in five seasons, as he coached the Warriors to a 9-3 overall record and 7-1 mark in the NSIC. The Warriors made history by receiving an invitation to play in the Mineral Water Bowl, the first postseason appearance Season 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Totals

for a WSU team since 1993 and second in school history. The contest between Winona State and Missouri Western State was epic, going three overtimes before the Warriors could claim a 43-41 victory. Warrior Kevin Curtin was named the game’s Offensive MVP and Nick Jager the Defensive MVP. Sawyer was named the NSIC Coach of the Year for the second time in his first five seasons at the helm of the Warriors. The 2001 season was historic on many levels for Winona State. Sawyer led the Warriors to a 10-2 overall record, the first time in program history a team had reached double-digit victories. The Warriors also advanced to the NCAA Division II Playoffs for the first time in school history. The team claimed the conference championship and Sawyer was named NSIC Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season. In 2002, Sawyer led the Warriors to a second place finish in the NSIC with a record of 8-1 league mark and earned a second invitation from the Mineral Water Bowl. Linebacker Deric Sieck, the league’s leading tackler, was named NSIC Defensive Player of the Year, the first of five consecutive Warriors to earn the award. Quarterback Bruce Carpenter was honored with the prestigious NSIC Glen Galligan Award which is awarded to a football player who plays four years of football while contributing to his university on the field and in the classroom. The 2003 season would prove to be the best in school history up to this point, as the Warriors set a school record with 11 wins and

Winona State 24, No. 9 Carson-Newman 21 Aug. 28, 2010 • Jefferson City, TN • Burke Tarr Stadium

No. 19 Winona State 58, MSU Moorhead 3 Sept. 11, 2010 • Winona, MN • Verizon Wireless Stadium

A swarming Winona State (1-0) defense forced three Eagle fumbles, including two deep in Warrior territory. Alex Coulter came up with the football off a Carson-Newman (0-1) fumble in the first quarter and Cody Dummer recovered a loose ball with under a minute to play in the first half, both turnovers taking possible Eagle points off the board. Elliott Gaulke also recovered a fumble to stop C-N’s first drive of the third quarter.

A 27-point second quarter gave the Warriors a 30-0 advantage at the half, a lead they would build on when play resumed. WSU gained 564 yards of total offense, throwing for 305 and rushing for 259. That balance kept MSU Moorhead out of synch and allowed the Warriors to strike with big plays to earn a win in both team’s NSIC opener.

JEFFERSON CITY, TN -- Evan Aber threw two touchdown passes and the Warrior defense recovered three fumbles as Winona State upset No. 9 Carson-Newman, 24-21.

Aber, making the first start of his career, threw touchdown passes to tight ends Erik Steine and Kyle Melcher. Aber finished the game completing 19 of 36 passes for 229 yards to go along with the two touchdowns and no interceptions. The Warriors trailed 14-10 at halftime, before Aber’s second scoring pass of the day put them on top 17-14 after three quarters. Carson-Newman scored on its first drive of the fourth quarter to retake a 21-17 lead. Winona State came right back, getting a touchdown run from Curtis Dewberry to take a 24-21 lead which they would never give up. Dewberry’s touchdown run was set up by a 56-yard catch and run from junior receiver Eric Swan that put WSU inside the CarsonNewman five-yardline. Swan finished the game with four receptions for 109 yards. Sophomore running back Rayon Simmons led the Warriors with 85 yards rushing on 22 carries while Dewberry added 59 yards and the score. Winona State has now beaten Carson-Newman to start the last two seasons, also earning 17-12 win a year ago. Score by Quarters Winona State Carson-Newman

St. Cloud State 31, No. 17 Winona State 26 Sept. 18, 2010 • St. Cloud, MN • Husky Stadium

ST. CLOUD, MN – Evan Aber threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough for No. 17 Winona State, who fell to St. Cloud State 31-26. The Warriors committed two second half turnovers that led to 14 Husky points and were not able to find the end zone on a final fourth quarter drive that could have tied the game. The Warriors fumbled on their first drive of the second half and St. Cloud State scored seven plays later to take a 24-17 lead. Later in the third quarter Aber was intercepted by Joe Everson who returned the pick 25 yards into the end zone to put the Huskies up 31-17.

Winona State fought back, capping their next possession with a nine-yard scoring pass from Aber to Sean Hertz to pull within a touchdown, 31-24. After forcing a Husky punt, the Warriors found themselves in scoring position, but Thomas Kinney missed a 36-yard field goal. St. Cloud State returned the favor, missing a field goal of their own, giving the Warriors the ball and enough time for a final drive. Winona State was able to move down the field before stalling inside the Husky red zone. Aber finished his night with a career-high 285 yards through the air and two touchdowns. His interception was the first of the season and first of his career. Mark Jundt, Derrick Engel and Curtis Dewberry all caught four passes while Rayon Simmons led the Warriors with 63 yards rushing.

Winona State 42, Upper Iowa 14 Sept. 25, 2010 • Fayette, IA • Ev Eischeid Stadium

FAYETTE, IOWA – Evan Aber threw for 347 yards and four touchdowns as Winona State used a huge second half to roll over Upper Iowa, 42-14. Aber’s 347 passing yards are the eighth-most in a single game in Warrior history. He completed 26 passes, fifth-most in for a Warrior in a single game. The sophomore quarterback has ten touchdown passes on the season and has thrown multiple scoring strikes in all four WSU games. Winona State rolled up 501 yards of total offense on the afternoon and averaged 6.5 yards per play. The Warriors also converted 10-of-16 third downs, keeping the chains moving. Conversely, Upper Iowa was able to earn first downs on just one of 14 third down attempts.

With the first half played in a light rain, the Warriors came out of the gates sloppy. Upper Iowa was able to score on its first possession and both Aber and backup quarterback Bryan Bradshaw tossed interceptions in the first half. Theo Burkett scored from three yards out to put WSU on the board in the first quarter and Aber found Sean Hertz for a 24-yard scoring strike in the second, the first of four touchdown passes on the game for the Winona State quarterback. Despite the Warrior miscues, the contest was tied at 14 at halftime. Score by Quarters Winona State Upper Iowa

Winona State 43, No. 25 Minnesota State 21 Oct. 2, 2010 • Winona, MN • Verizon Wireless Stadium

WINONA, MN – Winona State head coach Tom Sawyer wanted his Warrior football team to start fast. The Warriors did that, jumping out to a 20-0 first quarter lead and never letting up, claiming a 43-21 victory over No. 25 Minnesota State in front of a raucous crowd at Verizon Wireless Stadium. Rayon Simmons rushed for a career-high 148 yards and Evan Aber tossed three touchdown passes in the win. It was the second victory over a ranked team this season for the Warriors, who had previously beaten No. 9 Carson-Newman. The Warriors rolled up 507 yards of total offense on the game while allowing only 272 Minnesota State yards. WSU was physical up front, gashing the Mavericks for 251 yards rushing on 38 carries. Simmons led the way with his 148 yards while Theo Burkett added 86.

Curtis Dewberry was the spark that got the Warriors going early. He was able to sneak out of the backfield and was wide open for a 35-yard scoring strike from Aber. After the WSU defense forced a Minnesota State punt, Dewberry took the kick back 84 yards for another touchdown and a quick 14-0 lead. Winona State added another first quarter score on an 82 yard strike down the sideline from Aber to Tyler Speer.

Minnesota State scored two touchdown in the second quarter while the Warriors were held to a pair of field goals. The score was 26-14 at half, but that was as close as the Mavericks would get. Score by Quarters Minnesota State Winona State

No. 14 Augustana 17, Winona State 0 Oct. 16, 2010 • Winona, MN • Verizon Wireless Stadium

WINONA, MN – A stout Augustana defense held the Warriors to 246 yards offensively, as the visiting 14th-ranked Vikings prevailed 17-0 on Homecoming in Winona.

Winona State had chances to get the ball into the end zone but could never capitalize, hanging tough before allowing ten fourth quarter points. Augustana led by a touchdown at halftime and were never able to put the Warriors away until the final minutes. Rayon Simmons led the Warriors offensively with 69 rushing yards on 16 carries. Quarterback Evan Aber completed 13-of-33 passes for 130 yards. He had his streak of games with multiple touchdown passes snapped at six.

Eric Swan made his first receptions since the Warriors’ season-opening win over CarsonNewman. The senior led the Warriors with five grabs for 68 yards. Curtis Dewberry also had five catches for 31 yards. Winona State moved into scoring position on its first possession before turning the ball over on downs at the Augustana 38-yardline. The Warriors got deep into Viking territory on two of their next three possessions, missing field goals both times. The Vikings got on the scoreboard with 5:12 to play in the first half, with Tyler Shulte finding himself open after some trickeration in the backfield for a 56-yard touchdown catch. That would be all the scoring until Augustana added a one-yard touchdown run in the opening minute of the final quarter. Defensively the Warriors were led by Ryan Jirgl who made 12 total tackles and forced a fumble. Lewis Johnson and William Sherard both recorded sacks while Elliot Gaulke recovered a Viking fumble.

Winona State 24, Wayne State 13 Nov. 13, 2010 • Winona, MN • Verizon Wireless Stadium

WINONA, MN – It was a tale of two halves for the Winona State football team. After a first half that saw both teams struggle on offense, the Warriors broke out in the second half, beating Wayne State 24-13 in their season finale. Winona State scored 17 consecutive points in the second half to take a 17-6 lead midway through the fourth quarter. Both teams added another touchdown, with the Warriors wrapping up their 14th consecutive winning season and 13th campaign with at least seven wins under head coach Tom Sawyer. Rayon Simmons led the offensive charge once again, rushing for 159 yards on 27 carries. It was the fourth consecutive 100-yard game for Simmons and the fifth time he had reached that mark this season. Simmons went over the 2,000 yard mark for his career and is seventh on the school’s all-time rushing charts with 2,146 yards in just two seasons. His 1,252 yards this year are the fourth most single-season yards in school history. Trailing 6-0 at the half, Curtis Dewberry put the Warriors on the board for the first time with a 46 yard touchdown run. After a Theo Burkett touchdown run and a Thomas Kinney 21-yard field goal, the Warriors had turned their deficit into a 17-6 lead. Wayne State scored to pull within a score, 17-13, but Winona State put together a final scoring drive, capped by quarterback Bryan Bradshaw’s 27 yard scoring scamper.

The Warrior defense sacked Wildcat quarterback Evan Johnson twice and held the team to just 60 yards rushing. Wayne State was able to net just 264 yards of total offense on the day. Brandon Williams led Winona State with seven tackles while Chad Cheek made six stops, forced a fumble and broke up a pass. Ryan Jirgl intercepted a pass as well for the Warriors.
