A longtime hallmark of Fighting Sioux athletics has been academic excellence . UND established its academic reputation with 65 all-time Academic All-Americans at the Division II level, fourth-most among DII schools .

With that foundation to build upon, UND’s student-athletes enjoyed arguably their finest year in the classroom in 2008-09, earning a school-record six Academic All-America honors and a pair of NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships: Former offensive lineman Mitch Braegelmann earned consecutive Academic All-America first

team honors in 2007 and 2008.

UND set a single-season attendance record in 2008

and is 50-7 all-time at the Alerus Center.

“The noise ... I mean, I’ve been to outdoor pretty big-time Division I football games that weren’t that loud. They sang ‘home of the brave’ in the national anthem, and (instead) they all said, ‘home of the SIOUX,’ and it was like thunder went off in there.” -- Opposing coach in 2008

mISSIoNIt 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 .

PHILoSoPHyWe 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 500 student-athletes 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 off-season 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 NCAA Division II 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 .

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 .

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 .

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 student-athlete . 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 .

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.

Whether it is reading to area schoolchildren 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 .

Sioux football players assist in cleanup efforts after the town of Northwood, N.D., was devastated by a tornado in 2007.

alerUs center

North Dakota is in its eighth 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 II football .

The Alerus has 18 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 aDVanTaGeThe Fighting Sioux have posted a 46-6 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 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 seven times for illegal procedure among its 12 penalties on the day . After the game, UC Davis players cited the noise level of the Alerus Center crowd as one of the reasons for the penalties . 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 .

With over 50,000 fans in attendance during the 2008 North Dakota football home season, the Fighting Sioux set a new record with an average attendance of 10,617. The last time attendance numbers were over 10,000 was during the 2001 inaugural season of the Alerus Center.

During his first season as the head coach of the Fighting Sioux, Chris Mussman guided the tradition-rich program to a 6-4 record as the University of North Dakota made its NCAA Division I Football Championship debut .

The Sioux registered their first victory as a DI program on Sept . 18 when they defeated the Idaho State Bengals, 38-35, in Pocatello, Idaho . They went on to finish 2-3 against DI opponents . UND was undefeated 4-0 against non-DI schools with a records of 3-0 and 1-0 against DII and DIII, respectively .

Mussman also led North Dakota to a 1-2 record its first season as member of the Great West Conference alongside Cal Poly, South Dakota, Southern Utah, and UC Davis .

The Sioux finished at the top in several team categories, but most notably, they produced the league’s most productive running back (Josh Murray) and kick returner (Dominique Hawkins) .

The 2008 squad was not only recognized for their efforts on the field, but in the classroom as well . Four student-athletes were honored as academic all-Americans and league-high nine were selected to the Great West all-conference team . UND also topped the GWC as 16 players received fall all-academic honors .

Mussman, 39, became the 25th head coach in UND football history when he was introduced at a press conference on January 4, 2008, after nine seasons on the Sioux coaching staff, including the last four as assistant head coach and the last seven as offensive coordinator .

“I am humbled to have this opportunity to lead the Fighting Sioux football team,” said Mussman at the press conference . “The past nine seasons have taught me the proud history and tradition of this football program . We look forward to working with the football family from past and present as we move towards Division I .”

Mussman possesses nearly two decades of collegiate coaching experience . During his nine seasons as an assistant on the UND staff, the Sioux went 90-24 ( .789), won a Division II national championship in 2001, won five North Central Conference titles and made five NCAA Division II postseason appearances .

In 2007, Mussman directed arguably the most explosive offensive unit in the history of Fighting Sioux football . UND set school records for total yards (5,924), total touchdowns (60) and regular season scoring average (40 .7 points per game) .

UND finished the 2007 season as the NCC’s top-ranked offense in scoring, total offense, total first downs, 3rd-down conversions and time of possession .

Individually, senior wide receiver Weston Dressler set a UND single-season record for receiving yardage and was named a Harlon Hill Trophy finalist, while two of Mussman’s offensive linemen, juniors Mitch Braegelmann and Brian Troen, garnered several postseason awards between the two of them .

On December 12, 2008, Mussman received a two-year contract extension. He will remain at the helm of the Fighting Sioux football team through 2012 - the same year North Dakota will receive full NCAA Division I status

Greg Breitbach is in his second season as UND’s offensive coordinator after spending two years as the team’s running backs coach .

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) .

Freund, Mitch Braegelmann (C), and Brady Trenbeath (WR) were selected to the 2008 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America football team . Murray, Braegelmann, Blair Grover (TE), Brian Troen (OL), and Kyle Bondy (OL) were named to the GWC all-conference team .

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 school-record 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 .

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 .

2009 ROSTER pROnunciaTiOn guidE


2009 season oUtlook

QUarTerBaCKSJunior Jake Landry (Grand Forks, N.D.) enters his first year as the starter. Landry appeared in four games while backing up record-setting starter Danny freund in 2008. Landry was efficient in those appearances, leading the offense and completing three of four throws for 77 yards and a score. He is ready to take over the offense after strong spring practices. Sophomore Brent Goska (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) will provide competition and depth for the offense. Goska has made significant strides since 2008 and is ready to compete for playing time. Redshirt freshmen marcus Hendrickson (Perham, Minn.) and Seth nichols (McVille, N.D.) continue to improve and will provide depth at the position.

rUnninG BaCKSSophomore Catlin Solum (Fargo, N.D.) enters the 2009 season as the starter for the Sioux after a productive freshman season in limited action. Solum scored once and gained 127 yards on 27 carries. Junior Steven Battle (Grand Forks, N.D.) and redshirt freshmen mitch Sutton (Stevens Point, Wis.) and ethan magstadt (Maple Grove, Minn.) will provide depth and athletic ability for the Sioux offense. At the fullback position, senior marcus Tibesar (St. Paul, Minn.) returns and looks to continue his consistent play as a runner, pass catcher and blocker for the Sioux. He will also see time at the tight end position. Magstadt, who will also pull double duty, will push for playing time at both the fullback and running back spots.

WiDe reCeiVerSThe 2009 wide receivers bring a mix of experience and youth to the offense. Seniors ryan Konrath (White Bear Lake, Minn.), Kellen Leupp (Stanley, N.D.) and matt Cole (Sacramento, Calif.) lead the group after a productive 2008 and solid spring practices.

The trio finished 2008 with 13 receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown. Each is ready for a great 2009.

Sophomore ismael Bamba (Montreal, Quebec) led the receivers in 2008 with 21 catches for 310 yards and three touchdowns. He is preparing for a more consistent and solid 2009. Sophomore Chris anderson (Duluth, Minn.) and junior ryan Dressler (Bismarck, N.D.) will also factor into the mix this season. Both are returning from injuries, but have the ability to be impact players in the offense.

Sophomore Drew Daggett (Frazee, Minn.) and redshirt freshman Jon Heimler (Menomonie, Wis.) will compete for playing time after good spring practices.

TiGHT enDSThe tight ends are led by Tibesar and senior noah Dombrovski (Foley, Minn.), who both look for strong seasons great spring practices. Dombrovski is in his first season at tight end after two years at linebacker.

Redshirt freshman Seth Wisthoff (Glenburn, N.D.) and junior michael Gowan (Cando, N.D.) will push for playing time and provide solid depth this season.

offenSiVe LineSeniors Kyle Bondy (Williston, N.D.), Zach Keller (Minot, N.D.) and David Koelln (Rochester, Minn.) anchor the 2009 offensive line. Bondy was a second team all-conference performer and looks to improve in his second year as a starter. Keller and Koelln started for the first time in 2008 and played well. Both provide leadership and hard-nosed play for the Sioux. Juniors Creighton Schroyer (Pipestone, Minn.), Keith Queoff (Milwaukee, Wis.), matt Bakke (Grand Forks, N.D.), sophomore Brandon Quesenberry (Billings, Mont.), and redshirt freshman ian mcGurran (Fargo, N.D.) will compete for playing time in the interior and will provide depth. Sophomore Connor mcKendry (Costa Mesa Calif.) and redshirt freshmen emmett Lynch (Lester Prairie, Minn.) and Caleb Gillson (Buyck, Minn.) will compete for playing time at the tackle spots.

DefenSiVe LineUND’s defensive line returns a solid group of veterans and some new faces to the program who will get their first taste of action.

Defensive end will be anchored by four seniors and two underclassmen. The seniors will be counted on for their experience and big play capabilities to lead the way for this

group. Seniors Link Gottbeheat (Tomah, Wis.) and nick nolte (Janesville, Wis.), will assume the starting roles heading into fall camp. Senior nate Wayne (Menomonie, Wis.), a two-year starter at nose, has made the move to defensive end and showed great promise in spring ball and will push Gottbeheat.

Redshirt freshman ross Brenneman (Omaha, Neb.) had an outstanding spring and has surprised the coaches by jumping right into the rotation. Brenneman will start the season pushing Nolte at right defensive end. Senior nick farstveet (Bismarck, N.D.) and junior Kyle Krusenstjerna (Apple Valley, Minn.) round out the defensive end position. Farstveet had a good spring after recovering from injury that hampered him most of last season. Krusenstjerna, who missed the last game of the season and all of spring ball with aninjury, is expected to make a full recovery. True freshman Brock Lundeen (Huber Heights, Ohio) comes to UND after a successful career at Huber Heights High School and fellow freshman Seth Stanchik (Hudson Wis.), a great all-around athlete, will bring his athletic ability to the Fighting Sioux. Another newcomer, Brent Cole (Warroad, Minn.), is a big, physical player that possess the ability to have a great career for the Sioux in the future. All three will redshirt this season.

Junior Ty Boyle (International Falls, Minn.) will assume his role as the starting nose guard. Boyle, who earned All-Great West Conference honors as a sophomore, will be looked upon to lead a talented group at the nose guard position.

Sophomore Broc Bellmore (West Fargo, N.D.) will enter fall camp as the reserve nose guard and will provide valuable depth to the position. Bellmore, UND’s strongest defensive lineman, will see significant playing time this season after a great spring.

Sophomore Catlin Solum

Senior Kyle Bondy


2009 season oUtlook

Freshman Devin Benjamin (Minneapolis, Minn.) enjoyed a great spring and has taken great strides in learning the position. He combines the size and strength needed to be an outstanding nose in North Dakota’s 3-4 system.

oUTSiDe LineBaCKerSThe outside linebackers are an experienced group. Senior Jeff Tescher (Bismarck, N.D.) and junior ryan Kasowski (Grand Forks, N.D.) will start at the outside linebacker position. Tescher is the senior leader of this unit while Kasowski will bring energy and knowledge. Competing for the starting positions are junior ross Cochran (Kenosha, Wis.) and senior Clayton Leith (Hawthorne, Wis.). Both Cochran and Leith will make major contributions to the defense after great spring seasons. Both will also play vital roles on special teams.

Sophomore matt moody (La Habera, Calif.) and redshirt freshman Jay nelson (Wheaton, Minn.) will also compete for playing time after having good seasons.

inSiDe LineBaCKerSThe inside linebackers bring experience and leadership to the UND defense. Senior captain andrew miller (Menomonie, Wis), is the unquestioned leader of the group, and is looking to bounce back from an injury that sidelined him for the spring. Senior ryan Pollow (Germantown, Wis.) and juniors Curtis Dublanko (Thorsby, Alberta) and Paul German (Fargo, N.D.) are all upperclassmen with game experience. Along with sophomores Dan Hendrickson (Minot, N.D.) and mitch Goertz (Rothschild, Wis.), all of the inside linebackers had great springs and will be competing for the starting positions as well as playing time.

SeConDarYOnly one senior graces the Sioux secondary this year but that doesn’t mean it is devoid of experience. Three safeties and three corners have played significant minutes in the secondary. The lone senior is Tyson Heiser (Waunakee, Wis.), who has made it all the way back from an injury. Heiser had a great spring and will continue to battle for a starting spot this fall. Starting at safety are juniors Joel Schwenzfeier (Hallock, Minn.) and Kris ankenbauer (Murphy, Texas). The pair finished sixth and seventh, respectively, on last year’s team in tackles. Schwenzfeier has great ball instinct and is a young leader who will be looking to have a breakout season this year. Ankenbauer is one of the best hitters on the team and continually improves his ball skills.

Redshirt freshmen erik mersereau (Port Washington, Wis.) and Justin Belotti (Kenosha, Wis.) also had great spring campaigns. Mersereau earned a starting nickel role during the spring and will compete for even more playing time during fall drills. Belotti proved himself as a playmaker throughout spring and his contributions to the Sioux will continue to increase.

Sophomore alex Provo (Detroit Lakes, Minn.) will continue to provide necessary depth as his skills continue to improve. Karl Hager (Larimore, N.D.) is the only incoming safety this year for the Sioux.

The cornerback position is dominated by sophomores. Dominique Hawkins (Rockford, Minn.) is the one returning starter from last year’s squad. Hawkins, who led the team in interceptions, was second on the team in tackles and has continued to improve after having a great spring. He will start at the left side corner.

Returning from injury is sophomore Delano Saporu (Blaine, Minn.), who made big strides during the offseason. Saporu put those gains

to good use during the spring and came away with the starting spot at right side cornerback.

Sophomores mitch Kudrna (Dickenson, N.D.) and Kenny Watkins (Plano, Texas) both had good spring practices and, with continual development, will make large contributions in 2009. Redshirt freshman Ben Beuchl (Kasson, Minn.) was a pleasant surprise from spring practices. After joining the team as a walk-on, he proved his worth and will push everyone for playing time.

Chavon mackey (Jacksonville, Fla.) and Chris Hall (Jacksonville, Fla.) are the two incoming players at cornerback. Both possess outstanding speed and instincts and will work to make an immediate impact.

SPeCiaL TeamSSenior Brandon Hellevang (Fargo, N.D.) returns for his final season as the starting kicker for the Sioux. Hellevang was a second team all-conference punter last season with an average of 41.1 yards per punt and eight punts downed inside the 20-yard line. He also connected on 40-of-41 extra points and seven field goals. Brett Cameron (Winnipeg, Manitoba), who redshirted last season, has a great leg and will serve as the starting punter. Three-year starter and senior Jeff Tescher (Bismarck, N.D.) returns as the long snapper and will bring both consistency and great leadership to his role. Hawkins and Bamba will handle the return duties for the Sioux. Both bring great speed and athletic ability to the position and the potential for a big return.

Includes playoff games


Great West ConferenCe

The Great West took a giant leap in the collegiate athletic world in July 2008 when the conference expanded to include several

additional sports and several new members . Joining the league on July 10, 2008 were Houston Baptist University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University of North Dakota, University of South Dakota, Texas-Pan American and Utah Valley University . Chicago State accepted the league’s invitation to join in Oct., 2008. The conference conducted championships in several sports during the 2008-09 academic year - men’s cross country (won by UTPA), women’s cross country (Utah Valley), men’s indoor track and field (South Dakota), women’s indoor track and field (South Dakota), men’s golf (Houston Baptist), women’s golf (UTPA), men’s indoor track and field (Utah Valley) and women’s outdoor track (Utah Valley).

Team sports in baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball will begin league play in 2009-10 . As the conference began planning for team sport competition in 2009-10, several teams were added in the sports of women’s soccer and baseball to help provide a more diverse and competitive field. Delaware State, Howard and South Carolina State joined as associate members in women’s soccer, giving the Great West two, four-team divisions . The associate members, plus NJIT, will make up the Eastern Division, while North Dakota, South Dakota, Houston Baptist and Utah Valley will play in the West . Northern Colorado and New York Institute of Technology joined as associate members in baseball, giving the Great West eight playing members .

Football within the Great West Conference entered another era in 2008 with the addition of two schools and the departure of two of the founding members of the league . The University of North Dakota and the University of South Dakota entered the league for the 2008 season after North Dakota State and South Dakota State departed for the Missouri Valley Football League. Because of a scheduling quirk, not all Great West teams played four league games, but the 2009 schedule will be a true round-robin .

Cal Poly had one of the most successful years in Great West history in 2008 with an 8-3 record, 3-0 in the Great West, and a trip to the FCS playoffs, where the Mustangs dropped a first-round matchup with Weber State. Cal Poly was ranked as high as third nationally during the season and was plagued by a game that was cancelled due to Hurricane Ike . Ramses Barden from Cal Poly and John Faletoese from UC Davis were named to just about every FCS All-American team. Barden set an NCAA record for consecutive games with a touchdown catch, both in the FCS and all-time (20), as well as most career games with a touchdown catch in the FCS and all-time (32).

Officially announced Feb. 25, 2004, charter members of the Great West Football Conference were California Polytechnic State University; University of California, Davis; North Dakota State University; University of Northern Colorado; South Dakota State University; and Southern Utah University . Conference competition began on Sept . 4, 2004 with UC Davis scoring a 52-0 win over South Dakota State and Northern Colorado notching a 15-13 win over North Dakota State .

Great West members Cal Poly, UC Davis and Southern Utah remain at-large candidates for NCAA I-AA post-season playoff consideration, with South Dakota and North Dakota becoming candidates in 2012 . The conference has recently submitted its application for formal recognition to the NCAA .

After closing out its Division I debut season with a big, overtime win at South Dakota to finish 6-4 overall and 1-2 in the league, the University of North Dakota received nine Great West All-Conference football honors, including three first team selections .

Named to the offensive first team were seniors TE Blair Grover (Mequon, Wis .) and OL Brian Troen (Racine, Wis .) and sophomore RB Josh Murray (Pepin, Wis .) .

Second team accolades went to senior C Mitch Braegelmann (St . Cloud, Minn .) on offense and on defense, senior ILB Brett holinka (Dickinson, N .D .) and P Brandon hellevang (Fargo, N .D .) .

Juniors OL Kyle Bondy (Williston, N .D .) and ILB andrew Miller (Menomonie, Wis .) and sophomore DL Ty Boyle (International Falls, Minn .) were named honorable mention .

Grover, Troen, and Braegelmann were an integral part of a highly effective UND offensive unit that topped the league in both fourth (7-of-8, 87 .5 percent) and third down (52-of-133, 46 .0 percent) conversions . They also helped the Sioux to 3,914 total offense, with 1,458 yards rushing and 2,456 yards in the air .

The offensive line made it possible for Murray to rank as the league’s most productive running back . He totaled 1,006 yards rushing – 290 more yards than the second-ranked player – and a conference-best 166 attempts . In the final game of the season, he ran for a career-high 62-yard touchdown .

He finished with an average of 6 .1 yards per carry and 111 .8 yards per game and was listed second in all-purpose yards with 1,439 .

With Holinka, Bondy, Miller, and Boyle on defense, North Dakota held their opponents to an average of 5 .8 yards per play and 3 .6 yards per carry .

Holinka finished with 45 tackles (34s, 11a) two quarterback hurries and one pass breakup, Miller recorded 36 tackles (19s, 17a) three quarterback hurries and one pass breakup, and Boyle nabbed 21 tackles (11s, 10a) seven quarterback hurries and one sack .

Hellevang, UND’s lone punter, logged 1,769 yards this season with an average of 41 .1 yards per kick . Thanks to the offense’s ability to rack up first-downs, he was only employed to punt 43 times .

Cal Poly won the 2008 Great West title and are now headed to the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs . Mustang wide receiver Ramses Barden won his second consecutive Offensive Player of the Year award, cornerback Asa Jackson was voted as Top Rookie and Rich Ellerson was named Coach of the Year .

Other top awards went to John Faletoese from UC Davis, who was named Defensive Player of the Year .

2008 GaMe recaps

Grand ForKs, n .d . - If Fighting Sioux head coach Chris Mussman had a checklist for tonight’s 2008 season opener, he’d likely be ecstatic with the way it looks .

A win in the program’s first game as a Division I Football Championship Subdivison member? Check .

A win in his head coaching debut, gatorade shower included? Check .

Turnover-free offense? Check .

A defense that got better as the game went on? Check .

A crowd of 11,434, the largest for a season opener in Alerus Center history? Icing on the cake .

UND scored 34 straight points in the second and third quarters to roll to a 40-14 win over Texas A&M-Kingsville tonight in front of the 10th-largest crowd in Alerus history .

Sioux senior wide receiver Brady Trenbeath sparked the offense, snagging nine catches for a career-high 171 yards and touchdown receptions of 25 and 28 yards .

Trenbeath and the Sioux offense rebounded from a slow start that saw UND put together just two first downs and three points – a 31-yard Brandon Hellevang field goal – in the first quarter . In fact, the visiting Javelinas led 7-3 after the opening 15 minutes on a Logan Morris 1-yard touchdown plunge .

But the Sioux heated up and put together a pair of scoring drives in the second quarter to take hold of the momentum .

First, facing 3rd-and-19, senior quarterback Danny Freund connected with Trenbeath on a 25-yard effort to put the Sioux up 10-7 early in the second quarter .

Then just under seven minutes later, Freund plowed his way into the zone from one yard out, pushing the Sioux lead to 17-7 going into the half .

The Sioux offense picked up right where it left off, piling up 21 third-quarter points to put the game away .

Sophomore running back Josh Murray raced around the left end and deftly cut past a Javelina defender to score from 13 yards out, then senior back Brandon Brady hit paydirt on a 1-yard plunge to make it 30-7 with 5:34 left in the third quarter . The Sioux were unable to add the extra point after a botched snap that was recovered by Texas A&M-Kingsville .

Trenbeath added the punctuation mark to the third-quarter explosion, reeling in his second touchdown grab on a 28-yard hookup from Freund with 32 seconds left in the period .

The Javelinas’ finally stopped the Sioux scoring run with a 21-yard Jareko Taylor touchdown catch with 9:01 remaining in the fourth quarter .

Hellevang capped the scoring with a 32-yard field with 6:15 left on the clock .

As impressive as Trenbeath’s career night turned out to be, it could have been even more spectacular . The Cavalier, N .D ., native nearly had a third touchdown catch, but lost his footing on the Javelina 1-yard line at the end of a 41-yard strike from Freund, leading to Freund’s touchdown run two plays later .

Trenbeath also had a 33-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter nullified by a holding penalty . That drive would ultimately end with Brady’s scoring run .

Freund finished the game 18-for-25 for 260 yards, adding two touchdown passes and one scoring run .

Four Sioux running backs, led by 57 yards on 12 carries from Murray and 55 yards on 11 carries by freshman Catlin Solum, combined for 165 yards rushing . Murray had a 68-yard rushing touchdown called back because of a holding penalty on UND’s second possession .

Javelina starting quarterback Billy Garza completed nine of 22 passes for 95 yards and an interception before being relieved by Daniel Ramirez . Ramirez finished 10-for-22 for 133 yards and a touchdown .

The Javelinas managed just 58 net yards on the ground .

The Sioux defense was led by senior corner Drake Otto’s three solo tackles and three pass breakups . UND’s defense also hurried Garza and Ramirez 10 times .

Grand ForKs, n .d . - North Dakota senior quarterback Danny Freund threw a pair of touchdown passes senior receiver Brady Trenbeath for the second straight week to lift the Fighting Sioux to a 31-17 win over St . Cloud State this afternoon in front of 9,143 at the Alerus Center . The win lifts UND to 2-0 while the Huskies fall to 0-2 .

While Freund, who finished with three touchdown strikes, and Trenbeath had the hot hand offensively, it was a key defensive play that sealed the Sioux win .

After St . Cloud State scored to pull to within 31-17 with 5:52 remaining then and held the Sioux to a three-and-out on the ensuing series, the Huskies strung together another drive and were threatening to score again .

But Sioux junior linebacker Ryan Pollow (Germantown, Wis .) stepped in front of a Mitch Watkins pass at the UND 31-yard line for his first career interception and brought it back 22 yards into Husky territory to extinguish SCSU’s comeback hopes .

Despite the late Husky rally, it was the Sioux who controlled virtually the entire game, maintaining a 38:32 - 21:28 edge in time possession and a 31-17 advantage in first downs .

St . Cloud State’s Brian Cristan opened the scoring on a 23-yard field goal with 4:09 left in the first quarter, but it was all Sioux from that point on as UND scored 24 straight points .

Freund got the Sioux on the board with 1:15 left in the quarter, hitting senior Jake Caufield (Minot, N .D .) on a quick slant for an 11-yard touchdown . It was Caufield’s first touchdown reception since his freshman year of 2005 .

After UND linebacker Ross Cochran (Jr ., Kenosha, Wis .) forced and recovered an Adam Luckey fumble at the SCSU 28-yard line, junior kicker Brandon Hellevang (Fargo, N .D .) hammered a 46-yard field goal through the uprights to make it a 10-3 lead .

The Sioux added to the lead midway through the second quarter with a little improvisation . Freund escaped the grasp of SCSU defensive lineman Cale Pulczinksi and found Trenbeath behind the coverage and all alone in the end zone for a 30-yard scoring connection, making it 17-3 heading into the half .

The 17-3 UND lead held for much of the third quarter, until Lady Luck bounced UND’s way . On 1st-and-goal from the Husky 2-yard line, Sioux running back Brandon Brady (Sr ., Bloomington, Minn .) tried to leap up and over the pile at the goal line, but fumbled the ball into the end zone . But the ball rolled right to the feet of Sioux tight end Blair Grover (Sr ., Mequon, Wis .), who alertly fell on the ball to give the Sioux a 24-3 lead .

St . Cloud State finally broke UND’s scoring run with a 25-yard Fred Williams touchdown reception with 2:49 left in the third quarter, but Freund and Trenbeath quickly provided a counter-punch with a breathtaking hook-up .

On the first play of the fourth quarter, and the Sioux scrimmaging from their own 37, Freund again escaped heavy pressure hit Trenbeath down the seam at the Husky 30 . Trenbeath spun off of his defender and avoided three more tackles on his way to the end zone on a brilliant 63-yard catch and run .Trenbeth, who had a career-high 171 receiving yards in the season opener, finished the day with seven catches for another 124 yards and the two touchdowns .

Senior receiver Alex Nicholas (Franklin, Wis .) added a career-best six catches for 54 yards . Freund completed 23 of 31 passes for 264 yards and three scores .

The Sioux once again received effective running from the duo of Brady and sophomore Josh Murray (Pepin, Wis .), who combined for 110 yards on 26 carries . Murray carried 16 times for 68 yards while Brady added 42 yards on 10 carries .

Watkins completed 16 of 30 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown, but was intercepted by Pollow and sophomore safety Joel Schwenzfeier (Hallock, Minn .) . It was the first career interception for both .

Williams was Watkins’ top target, catching five passes for 84 yards and a touchdown . He also had a 66-yard

reception nullified by an offensive pass interference penalty . Luckey carried 11 times for 48 yards, 44 of which came in the first half .

Defensively, the Sioux were led by senior free safety Rory Manke (Detroit Lakes, Minn .), who made eight tackles, six of the solo variety . Senior defensive end Jeff Richter (St . Cloud, Minn .) had three quarterback hurries against his hometown Huskies .

Darius Dotch had nine tackles, including eight solo, for SCSU . Pulczinski, David Kamin and Josh Popanda each registered a sack .

notes: Hellevang became the 10th player in UND history to score 200 career points after booting one field goal and four extra points . He now has 205 career points .

2008 GaMe recaps

Grand ForKs, n .d . – There is an offensive strategy in the world of mixed martial arts that is known as “ground and pound .” The Fighting Sioux borrowed directly from that philosophy this afternoon in a 45-7 Potato Bowl victory over Wisconsin-LaCrosse in front of 10,256 .

Led by the career day of sophomore running back Josh Murray (Pepin, Wis .), the Sioux racked up a season-high 287 yards along the ground and wore out the Eagle defense with a nine-minute time of possession advantage .

The win boosts UND’s record to 3-0 while Wisconsin-LaCrosse falls to 0-2 .

Murray carried 23 times for 180 yards and three touchdowns, all personal bests, to lead the charge . Murray scored on touchdown runs of two and 16 yards on UND’s first two possessions in what was arguably the most efficient half of football for the Sioux offense this season .

In all, the Sioux scored points on their first four possessions and only came away empty on the fifth drive when Brandon Hellevang’s (Jr ., Fargo, N .D .) 47-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright on the final play of the half .

After Murray’s first two scores, UW-L relied on some razzle-dazzle to set up their lone score of the day . With the Eagles scrimmaging at their own 29-yard line, quarterback Alex Seguin rolled right and threw back across the grain to a wide open Eric Donoval, who made his way to the Sioux 4-yard line . Three plays later, Seguin found Tyler Keeney open in the end zone to make it a 14-7 game .

UND’s next possession chewed up the final 5:23 of the quarter, and on the first play of the second quarter, Sioux quarterback Danny Freund (Sr ., Kenosha, Wis .) hit Alex Nicholas (Sr ., Franklin, Wis .) on an 11-yard slant to push the lead to 21-7 .

The Sioux tacked on another three points with a masterpiece of a drive . Murray, Freund and running back Brandon Brady (Sr ., Bloomington, Minn .) combined to run 12 times as the Sioux chewed up 11:13 with a 19-play, 83-yard march that resulted ion a 21-yard Hellevang field goal .

Freund added his second touchdown strike late in the third quarter, finding junior Ryan Konrath (White Bear Lake, Minn .) on a 6-yard scoring play with 2:11 left in the period that made it 31-7 . It was Konrath’s first career touchdown reception and marked the third straight game this season that Freund has thrown at least two touchdown passes .

Murray put the finishing touches on his memorable performance with a career-long 53-yard touchdown run two minutes into the fourth quarter, gaining the edge on the right side and eluding an Eagle defender with a nifty move on his way to paydirt .

The Sioux rounded out the scoring with 2:44 left in the game when sophomore quarterback Jake Landry (Grand Forks) threw a bulls-eye to true freshman Ismael Bamba (Montreal, Quebec) over the middle, and the speedster raced to the end for a 61-yard touchdown on the first reception of his career .

Murray’s big day on the ground was complemented by Brady (seven carries for 53 yards), Freund (seven carries for 27 yards) and redshirt freshman Catlin Solum (four carries for 28 yards) .

Freund completed 18-of-24 passes for 140 yards and the two touchdowns in leading UND to exactly 500 yards of total offense .

Nicholas was the top target, nabbing four catches for 43 yards and a score .

The Eagles managed just seven first-downs and 199 yards of total offense, 67 of which came on Donoval’s first-quarter catch . UW-L quarterbacks Seguin and Nick Anker combined to go 9-for-22 for 138 yards and a touchdown .

UND’s defense, which had been held without a sack in its first two games, managed to get to the Eagle quarterbacks three times, once each by Mike Ebanks (Sr ., Orlando, Fla .), Tyson Giles (Sr ., Warren, Minn .) and Brad Kelley (RFr ., Coon Rapids, Minn .) .

Redshirt freshman cornerback Dominique Hawkins

(Rockford, Minn .) added the first interception of his career .

The Fighting Sioux now turn around and play on Thursday at Idaho State . UND will not return home until Oct . 18 against Western Washington .

notes: UND is now 32-11 all time in the Potato Bowl … UND greats Scott Guldseth (basketball), Colleen Chaske (basketball), Kris Presler (wrestling) and Craig Ludwig (hockey) will all be inducted into UND’s Athletic Hall of Fame tonight . The 1934-35 and 1989-90 men’s basketball teams will also be inducted … Trenbeath had four receptions to up his career total to 134, moving him into ninth place on UND’s all-time list . He also moved into sixth place on UND’s career receiving yardage list with 1,798 … Freund now has 31 career regular season touchdown passes, tied with Kurt Otto (1985-87) for seventh in school history .

NORTH DAKOTA 45WISCONSIN-LACROSSE 7

poCaTello, idaho – Sophomore running back Josh Murray (Pepin, Wis .) ran for a career high 204 yards on 23 carries and Danny Freund (Kenosha, Wis .) completed 20 of 26 passes for 237 yards and three touchdowns as the Fighting Sioux held off the Idaho State Bengals, 38-35 .

The Fighting Sioux improved their unmarked record to 4-0 while Idaho State is now 0-3 .

UND grabbed a 31-7 lead just three minutes into the third quarter, but with three consecutive touchdowns by the Bengals, the lead was cut down to 31-28 with 9:03 left in the contest .

North Dakota answered right back with a 12-play, 80-yard drive to take 6:40 off the clock . The drive was capped by a 7-yard touchdown pass from Freund to fullback Marcus Tibesar (St . Paul, Minn .) with 2:23 remaining to clinch the victory . Idaho State scored the final touchdown with no time remaining on the clock . UND had 478 yards of total offense, 241 of those yards on the ground as they held the Bengals to just 83 yards on the ground . Brady Trenbeath (Kenosha, Wis .) led UND in receiving with 9 catches for 92 yards and a touchdown . In the first half alone, Murray had 122 yards rushing on 23 carries for an average of 10 .9 yards per carry as the Sioux ran out to a 24-7 lead . The Sioux had a 309 to 186 advantage in total offense in the first half as Freund completed 14 of 18 passes for 171 yards and two scores . UND scored touchdowns on three of its first four possessions of the first half . ISU got on the board with 7:14 left in the half as they drove 82 yards in just four plays with Jaron Taylor catching a 41 yard touchdown pass from Russel Hill . UND could have had a bigger lead late in the first half but lost a fumble at the Bengal 8-yard line with 2:34 left in the half . The Sioux didn’t let that mistake haunt them going into the locker room as they forced ISU to punt and Brent Hellevang converted a 43-yard field goal on the last play of the half . The Sioux seemed to put the game seemingly out of reach early in the second half by taking the ball 55 yards on six plays with Brady scoring from six yards out to increase the lead to 31-7 . The drive was set up by a 45-yard kickoff return by Dominique Hawkins (Rockford, Minn .) . But Idaho State responded with touchdown drives of 79, 70 and 91 yards to cut the lead to three . Murray started the game-clinching drive with an 11-yard gain on first down . Freund completed passes of 11 yards to Blair Grover (Mequon, Wis .) and 20 yards to Trenbeath to give the Sioux a first down on the Bengal 37-yard line . Brandon Brady (Bloomington, Minn .) than carried the ball three consecutive times, gaining 11 yards to give UND a first down at the ISU 26 . The Sioux went back to Murray as he carried the ball three consecutive times for 19 yards to give UND a second and three on the ISU seven yard line, setting up Freund’s scoring pass to Tibesar . Idaho State quarterback Russell Hill finished 30-of-44 for 396 yards and three touchdown passes . Receiver Jaron Taylor had eight catches for 159 yards and two scores . ISU had 479 yards of total offense, 293 of those yards in the second half .

GaMe noTes: On the opening drive alone, senior corner back Drake Otto logged six tackles and a pass breakup… Nathan Wayne and Dominique Hawkins tallied their first career pass break-up… It took Idaho State 43 years, 21 minutes and 31 seconds to score for the first time against the Sioux; the Bengels did so with a 41-yard touchdown pass from Russell Hill to Jaron Taylor… Second 100+ yard game in a row for Josh Murray… Danny Freund has not thrown an interception in 445 total passes…

Grand ForKs, n .d . – Fighting Sioux running back Josh Murray (So ., Pepin, Wis .) ran for a career-high 219 yards and two touchdowns as the University of North Dakota defeated Western Washington, 42-32, in front of a Homecoming crowd of 12,164 . Saturday’s crowd marked the sixth largest UND football attendance since the Sioux moved to the Alerus Center in 2001 . The first half was a scoring battle as the lead changed two times and twice the teams were knotted . UND started the scoring following a shaky start by both sides .

Opening drives for both sides were a bit rough as Western Washington’s four and out ended with an off kilter punt . With the ball deep in its own territory, WWU snapped long causing the ball to fly over punter Josh Linder’s head . Linder recovered in the end zone and got the kick off while running sideways .

A personal foul penalty on the Vikings following the fair catch put the ball in UND’s hands on the WWU 35 yard line, but the possession was short-lived as a Sioux fumble gave the ball back to the Vikings . Unable to score, WWU was forced to punt .

Two minutes and twenty-four seconds into UND’s second possession of the game, the Sioux found the end zone as Murray ran in from 24 yards out . With the extra point by junior Brandon Hellevang (Fargo, N .D), the green and white took a 7-0 lead .

A little over six minutes later, the Vikings took a 14-7 lead as quarterback Adam Perry and wide receiver Pat McCann connected for a pair of touchdowns .

North Dakota turned the seven-point lead into its own with another set of TDs . Midway through the second quarter, senior quarterback Danny Freund (Kenosha, Wis .) found senior running back Alex Nicholas (Franklin, Wis .) for a 31-yard toss into the end zone . Roughly five minutes later, Murray walked in from six yards out for his second touchdown of the game and ninth of the season .

After going into the locker room with the 21-14 advantage, the Fighting Sioux never relinquished the lead .

A little over six minutes into the second half, Freund and Nicholas made the connection once again, this time on a 33-yard TD pass . That was the second time this season that Nicholas has brought down two end zone catches .

With 4:50 left in the third quarter, WWU chopped the lead down by seven as Perry found Zach Hekker on a two-yard pass .

Less than two minutes and three plays later, UND provided its own two-yard scoring pass as Freund found his second TD receiver of the day, senior wide receiver Brady Trenbeath (Cavalier, N .D .) .

With less than a minute left in the third quarter, the Sioux forced the Vikings to a fourth and sixteen field goal . Josh Linder split the uprights to bring the score to UND 35, WWU 24 .

Not satisfied with the 11-point lead, North Dakota took its first possession across the goal line just four and a half minutes into the fourth . A pair of passes by Freund and rushes by Murray, freshman running back Catlin Solum (Fargo, N .D .), and freshman Ismael Bamba (Montreal, Quebec) brought the Sioux to the Western Washington two yard line . On third and goal, Solum got the ball from Freund and marched across for his first career touchdown .

Hellevang went six-for-six on extra points help the Sioux to victory .

The Vikings would score once more on a one-yard pass, but it was too little, too late as North Dakota would go on to take the 42-32 victory and remain undefeated against Western Washington . UND has now outscored WWU 108-77 over the four-year series .

Freund finished with 181 yards on 14 completions with three touchdowns . This is the third game in a row that he has found three receivers in the end zone .

For the third game in a row, Murray has upped his totals in both carries and rushing yards . He finished with 219 yards on 26 carries, two touchdowns and a 23-yard kick return .

Bamba entertained the crowd with a career-high 75-yard kick return in the third quarter . His run put the Sioux in position for their game winning lead . He finished with a total of three return for 147 yards and an eight-yard carry .

On the receiving end, Nicholas led UND with four catches for 81 yards including a 33-yard rush .

The North Dakota defense was led by the trio of sophomore defensive back Joel Schwenzfeier (Hallock, Minn .), senior Rory Manke (DB, Detroit Lakes, Minn .), and hometown linebacker Ryan Kasowski who tallied seven, six, and five tackles, respectively, and five solo tackles apiece . Kasowski accounted for 14 yards lost on two sacks and Manke pulled the Vikings back 11 yards on sack in the second play of the game .

GaMe noTes: Ross Cochran first career interception . . . Ismael Bamba career-high 70-yard kick return . . . Catlin Solum first career touchdown .

2008 GaMe recaps

davis, Calif . – After a back-and-forth scoring battle in the first half, UC Davis pulled away from the University of North Dakota to take a 34-21 victory in the Great West Conference opener for the Fighting Sioux .

The game had two lead changes in the first 18 minutes of play, but after that, the home team seemed to take control scoring consecutively with two touchdowns and two field goals . The UCD scoring was capped at 2:45 in the fourth quarter while UND kept pressuring until just 33 more ticks remained on the board .

This is the second road loss for North Dakota this season and the sixth straight home victory for the Aggies . UND is now 5-2 overall with a 0-1 mark in the GWC . UC Davis improved to 5-4, 1-0 GWC . The two-game series is now tied at 1-1 .

Senior quarterback Danny Freund (Kenosha, Wis .) finished with 177 yards on 21 completions and an in-air touchdown . He also tabbed a rushing TD of his own after driving a one-yard quarterback sneak in with 33 .5 left on the clock . It was the only touchdown for the Sioux in the second half of play .

Sophomore running back Josh Murray (Pepin, Wis .) led the Sioux on the ground with 82 yards on 11 carries, senior wide receiver Brady Trenbeath (Cavalier, N .D .) had eight catches for 54 yards and Rory Manke (Detroit Lakes, Minn .) led the UND defense with 8 total tackles .

For the ninth time this season, UC Davis found the end zone on its opening drive . With 9:16 on the clock, Greg Denham sent a short, four-yard toss to Bakari Grant for the Aggies’ first-ever touchdown against the Fighting Sioux . Denham’s pass was set up by a 12-play, 60-yard possession by UCD which included five first-downs .

Three plays in a span of one minute and thirteen seconds knotted the game at 7-7 . A four-yard rush by quarterback Danny Freund (Kenosha, Wis .) followed by a 16-yard rush by running back Josh Murray (Pepin, Wis .) brought UND to the 50-yard line . On the next play, Freund found Ismael Bamba (Montreal, Quebec) on the far sideline for a 50-yard TD pass . Not only was this Bamba’s second reception of the season, but it was his second TD as well . His first and longest was a 61-yard catch versus St . Cloud State (Sept . 6) .

The teams went into the second quarter with UC Davis holding a 14-7 lead after scoring with nine seconds left . On the third play of the possession, the Aggies were forced to a 1st-and-23 as Brad Kelley (Coon Rapids, Minn .) brought Denham down for 13 yards of loss . Able to jump back from the loss, UCD walked the ball down for a nine-play, 56-yard touchdown with 3:48 in possession which was capped by a Brandon Rice 11-yard touchdown reception .

On their first possession of the new quarter, UND took the ball 61 yards on seven plays . The Sioux moved into Aggie territory on a 46-yard run by Murray . Four plays later, Brandon Brady (Bloomington, Minn .) powered through the line from one yard out . With the Brandon Hellevang (Fargo, N .D .) kick, the scored was tied for the second time of the half .

With the game looking similar to a back-and-forth tennis match already, UC Davis took its first possession of the second quarter into UND territory and across the goal line to take a 21-14 lead . As the Sioux had just done, the Aggies pushed in from one yard out, this time the ball was in the hands of Dean Rogers .

Forced to punt on the next possession, UND put the ball back into the grips of the home team with 1:57 left on the clock . With the Aggies at 1st-and-19, Joel Schwenzfeier nabbed an inception in the end zone, but an offsides call on UND nulled the catch and gave it back to UCD . Unable to work their way into the end zone, Sean Kelley dropped in a field goal from 30 yards out .

The third quarter was scoreless, but it wasn’t without its chances . In its second possession of the third quarter and longest of the game, UND tossed its way to the UCD15 . A 12-yard sack for loss pushed the Sioux too far to chance it on fourth down . Hellevang setup for the 44-yard punch-in, but it was blocked by the UCD defense . It was the first time this season a UND field goal has been touched and the second time John Faletoese has had a hand on the ball this season .

The following UC Davis possession was ended after six plays as Ryan Kasowski snatched a Denham pass and returned it for six yards . Unable to convert a 46-yard field goal attempt, the Aggies gained control once again .

As was done four possessions previous, Rogers plowed

in from one yard out to put six more on the Aggie board . The extra point after solidified the lead and gave UCD the 31-14 advantage . Seven minutes later, the Aggies pushed further ahead with a 36-yard field goal from Kelley .

In their last drive of the game, the Sioux kept fighting as they moved the ball 58 yards in a little over two minutes . Freund completed nine passes to four different receivers to bring the ball to the UCD one-yard line . He cut the lead by six himself with a quarterback sneak . Another PAT by Hellevang would set the score at a final UC Davis 34, North Dakota 21 .

GaMe noTes: With his 160th reception in the second quarter, Brady Trenbeath moved into the No . 2 spot on the all-time receptions list (including postseason) . Coming into the game, he was tied with Dan Grossman (2002-05) with 159 … With a TD pass to Ismael Bamba, Danny Freund moved into the No . 3 spot on UND’s all-time list … Freund is also now tied for the No . 8 spot in all-time passing yards, he is also No . 9 in single-season TD passes .

CarBondale, ill . – It was a tough end to an emotional game as the University North Dakota Fighting Sioux football team fell to Southern Illinois – a team led by its former head coach Dale Lennon – by a margin of 40-21 Saturday afternoon in front of a McAndrew’s crowd of 8,082 .

A pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns by Larry Warner solidified a 27-7 lead the Salukis held over the Sioux heading into the final stanza . The first of Warner’s TD runs was a 75-yard carry with 12:59 left in the game .

The loss to the 11th-ranked Salukis dropped the Fighting Sioux to 5-3 on the season while SIU improved to 6-2 .

For the second game in a row, UND was held to under 100 yards rushing . This time the green and white tallied 20 yards after 42 of their total 62 yards were taken away . Twelve of those yards came in the first half .

SIU finished with 323 yards on foot . UND out-passed SIU 310-159, but the home team won the total yardage battle, 482-330 .

QB Danny Freund (Kenosha, Wis .) finished 27-for-36 for a 310-yard passing game with two TD receptions . He was tackled in the backfield a season-high six times .

The hand of Freund found TE Blair Grover (Mequon, Wis .) midway through the first quarter and then WR Ismael Bamba (Montreal, Quebec) brought down an eight-yard pass in the end zone with 13:15 left to go in the game .

On foot, RB Josh Murray (Pepin, Wis .) was held to 48 yards on seven carries with one end zone appearance . He crossed the goal line at 10:33 in the fourth quarter after diving head first over the oncoming defensemen .

WR Brady Trenbeath (Cavalier, N .D .) led the Sioux offence with 122 yards on 10 receptions . DB Dominique Hawkins (Rockford, Minn .) was second on the team in total yardage with 118 gained on kickoff returns, including a 37-yard run .

Defensively, DB Rory Manke (Detroit Lakes, Minn .) led both sides with a 10-tackle total (9s,1a) . Hawkins and LB Ross Cochran (Kenosha, Wis .) both finished with seven tackles . Hawkins had seven solos while Cochran ended with three solos and four assists .

Nine minutes into the first quarter, the Fighting Sioux took 3:07 off the clock on their first drive to move downfield and into a 7-3 lead over the Salukis . SUI scored its three points on a 26-yard, opening drive field goal .

The drive looked as though it would come down to a field goal after two incomplete passes left the Sioux with third-and-five, but Trenbeath held onto a tough pass from Freund and gained the first down . Two plays later, Freund scrambled from two oncoming defenders with time enough to find Grover on a 24-yard touchdown pass – Grover’s first TD reception of the season .

North Dakota tried an early onside kick to regain possession, but the Salukis recovered to take control on the UND42 . Five plays and 1:27 minutes later, SIU’s QB Chris Dieker hit Ryan Kernes on the 20-yard pass to take a 10-7 advantage . SIU used is next possession to pad the score even more as a “Dieker Sneaker” from one-yard out lit the board again for the home team and capped the first quarter scoring .

The second stanza was a scoring drought compared to the previous with the only points coming off of a 25-yard field goal at 7:42 by SIU’s Kyle Dougherty .

The point famine hovered over the third quarter until just 3:03 remained . Following three consecutive rushes by Warner, RB Richard White took a combined five yards on two carries into the right side of the end zone for SIU’s first third-quarter touchdown of the 2008 season .

The Fighting Sioux ended their own scoring silence at 13:15 in the fourth quarter with a five-play, 68-yard scoring drive . The 1:40 possession was capped by an eight-yard touchdown connection from Freund to Bamba . The score was setup by three pass completions for over 10 yards by Freund, including a 25-yard toss to Grover .

The next seven minutes of the game saw a trio of touchdowns, two by SIU’s Warner . The first came at 12:59 as Warner took the ball 75 yards to give the Salukis the 33-14 lead . It was the first play of a drive that lasted a short 13 seconds .

Two minutes later, Murray took a 10-yard run up and over the SUI defense for UND’s third TD of the afternoon .

Not to let the visiting team have the final say, Warner and the Salukis used a nine-play, 62-yard drive to cross the end zone one final time and take a game final, 40-21 lead .

GaMe noTes: It was Military Appreciation Day at Southern Illinois . . . UND’s Danny Freund moved into the No . 6 spot in career pass completions and is now tied for the No . 3 spot in career touchdown passes . . . Brady Trenbeath moved into the No . 3 spot on UND’s career receiving yards list; he bumped down Ron Gustafson (1971-74) . . . Rory Manke is just one tackle away from tying his brother, Ryan Manke (2001-04), on UND’s all-time career solo tackles list .

2008 GaMe recaps

Grand ForKs, n .d . – With less that two minutes remaining in the Fighting Sioux home finale, Southern Utah pulled down a 16-yard toss to take a 15-14 lead – its first of the game . The catch would prove to be the game-winner as the Thunderbirds registered their first conference victory and their first win against UND .

The Sioux held the advantage throughout the game, including a 14-0 lead heading into the second half, but the Thunderbirds were able to chip the lead down to three on a 44-yard field goal in the third and a 22-yard touchdown pass five minutes into the fourth quarter .

SUU’s game-winning play, a 16-yard pass from Fesi Sitake to Cody Stone came with just 1:14 remaining on the clock . The Sioux started to make their way towards field goal territory, but an interception on fourth-and-eleven ended the drive and gave SUU the win .

With its first loss at the Alerus since October 13, 2007, North Dakota dropped to 5-4 overall, 0-2 in the GWC . Southern Utah improved to 4-5, 1-2 GWC .

Southern Utah’s second drive of the game was cut short when true freshman Kenny Watkins (Plano, Texas) snatched an oncoming pass for his first career interception . Senior Drake Otto (Kenosha, Wis .) stripped the ball from the Thunderbirds on their next possession to give fellow senior Ward DeMontigny (Washburn, N .D .) the jump on the loose ball .

SUU had their first red zone opportunity late in the second quarter, but in keeping with the theme of the game, UND put an early stop to the drive . A handful of pass completions moved the ball to the UND20, but on a hard toss towards the end zone, Otto got a hand up and tipped it towards Kris Ankenbauer (Plano, Texas) for the Sioux’s second interception of the day .

Before the whistle sounded the Sioux tallied two more interceptions as Dominique Hawkins (Rockford, Minn .) and Joel Schwenzfeier (Hallock, Minn .) added to the pickoff list .

early football beGinninGs

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 .

• 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 1928-29, 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.

UnD football traDitions

mEmorial staDiUmThe 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 serves as the home for UND athletic events, the North Dakota Boys and Girls State Track Meet and the North Dakota Special Olympics Summer Games . In the summer of 1990 and 1996, Memorial Stadium also played host to the Prairie Rose State Games .

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 .

The 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 .

Two 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, awards the Nickel Trophy to the winning team . UND leads in the battle for the aluminum alloy “slug” 35-30 . In one stretch, 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.

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 .

The game was also carried into millions of Midwest homes through national television as part of the NCAA game of the week .

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 35-24 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 .

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 eight-yard 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 .

After the drive stalled at the PSU 13-yard line, Dahlem made his game-winning kick .

GraND forks, N.D. – UND quarterback Clay Wagner threw for 294 yards and a school playoff-record 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 game-time 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 .

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 .

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 first-ever 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 16-yard fade pass in the end zone to cap off a seven-play, 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 1st-and-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 . Peterka kicked a 33-yard field goal with 14:49 to play in the fourth quarter and UND running back Aaron Schwenzfeier closed out the scoring with a four-yard run with 8:13 to play . Defensively, UND was led by inside linebacker Travis O’Neel,who had a game-high 10 tackles (seven solo), including four for losses of 17 yards .

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 fourth-ranked 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 10-yard 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

downs with 10:35 to play in the game . Late in the game, UC Davis reached the Sioux 5-yard line but O’Sullivan’s pass on 4th-and-2 from there fell incomplete with 1:54 remaining . Defensively, UND cornerback Craig Riendeau had a game-high 10 tackles (nine solo), while linebacker Eric Schmidt had eight tackles (seven solo) .

Postseason reCaPs

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 .

Grand Valley State outgained UND 169-157 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 .

For 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 .

Perkerewicz had 96 yards on 26 carries for North Dakota, while Klosterman 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 .

Grand Valley State’s Ryan Brady had 83 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 15 carries, while the Lakers’ Reggie Spearmon had 52 yards on seven carries . Todd Wojciechowski completed 11 of 22 passes for 128 yards and two interceptions .

Riendeau, linebacker Josh Kotelnicki and defensive end Ben Dixon each had six tackles for UND .

Postseason reCaPs

Prospects hardly could have been dimmer for the University of North Dakota football team .

The 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 14-10 lead .

The 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 .

As the sand in the hourglass trickled through, ever filling the lower portion, UND tried to put together a drive .

It was not easy, and it was not pretty .

From 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) .

Next, Klosterman passed to tailback Jed Perkerewicz for six yards, then 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 .

In 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 .

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 .

Cameron Peterka kicked the extra point, and UND led, 17-14, with 29 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 .

The 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 .

All the scoring occurred in the first and last quarters . Peterka opened with a 36-yard field goal .

The 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 .

On the play before Brady’s second touchdown to put Grand Valley ahead 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 .”

Postseason reCaPs

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 .

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 .

Danny Gagner intercepted Philpot in the endzone with under a minute on the clock to closeout the game . The Sioux defense had easily its best day in terms of takeaways, jumping on three fumbles and picking off four passes . The previous high for takeaways in a game this season was three (two INTs, one fumble recovery) in the season opener against Minnesota-Crookston .

Roland finished the game with the second-best effort of his career, logging 164 net yards rushing on 31 carries . He had a 166-yard game against Augustana earlier this season . Willis Stattelman led the Sioux receivers with six catches for 57 yards .

The Sioux will face Winona State in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals on Sat ., Nov . 29 at 1:00 p .m at the Alerus Center .

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 .

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 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 .

Postseason reCaPs

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 .

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 .

Lueck returned a punt for 48 yards and then caught a 30-yard touchdown on UND’s first offensive play from scrimmage to give the Sioux an early 6-0 lead . 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 five-yard 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 .

The junior corner back’s interception set up Bowenkamp’s third TD of the game, a 15-yarder to Matt Vanderpan on a fake field goal play with 7:49 remaining . It was the senior tight end’s second catch of the season and the second touchdown of his career .

Bowenkamp has now thrown three touchdowns or more six times in his career .

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 43-yard 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 .

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 three-and-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 snuffed-out 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 nine-minute 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 .

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 .

On North Dakota’s second drive of the second half, Jeff Glas kicked a 38-yard field goal to put UND ahead 10-0 with 6:16 left in the third quarter .

The fourth quarter belonged to the Huskies . After getting good field position following a North Dakota punt, the Huskies took the ball 48 yards on nine plays to get SCSU on the board . Junior quarterback Dan Kaczor found the open man in the end zone junior receiver Ryan Koch with a seven yard pass and UND led 10-7 . On the ensuing kick-off the Huskies downed the ball on the UND 16 .

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 .

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 .

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 19-yard 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 .

That is until kicker Jeff Glas lined up to kick what appeared to be a 35-yard field goal attempt . In a play eerily reminiscent to last year’s NCAA semifinal against North Alabama, holder Bowenkamp faked and threw a touchdown pass to a tight end . Last year it was Matt Vanderpan, this year it was Will Kusler with 3:53 remaining .

Bowenkamp, making just his third appearance at quarterback this season, was 12-of-19 for 123 yards and the two scores . He replaced Belmore, who had completed 6-of-8 passes for 80 yards and a three-yard touchdown toss to tight end Trevor Mielke .

MTU quarterback Chad Alger was not nearly as efficient . The freshman, an injury replacement for GLIAC Player of the Year Dan Mettlach, was picked off four times and sacked five times . Hoffschneider had two of the interceptions and Ryan Manke and Danny Gagner had one each .

UND’s Caleb Johnson led all receivers with nine catches for 99 yards . Brandon Strouth (18 carries for 72 yards) and Adam Roland (14 for 52) combined for 124 yards along the ground .

The Sioux held the explosive Marana to just 36 yards on nine carries, while fellow All-GLIAC runner Daryl Graham was limited to 73 yards on 23 carries .

The Fighting Sioux now advance to the NCAA quarterfinal against two-time defending NCAA champion Grand Valley State . The Sioux fell to the Lakers in last year’s national championship game, but defeated GVSU two years ago to claim the 2001 NCAA championship .

Postseason reCaPs

GraND forks, N.D. — Chris Belmore’s two-yard 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 .

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 Brandon Langston gave the Lakers a nine-point 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 .

Sophomore tailback Brandon Strouth capped the quick drive with a 24-yard run . The 5-foot-8 back finished the day with 64 yards on nine carries .

The teams traded possessions before UND’s Dan Ullsperger sacked GVSU quarterback Cullen Finnerty forcing a fumble on third down . Sophomore defensive tackle Adm Wolff recovered at the Lakers’ 29 .

Four plays later, Belmore trotted into the end zone with the winning score on a bootleg to the right side . It was the quarterback’s second rushing touchdown of the season .

The Sioux defense forced a punt on the Lakers’ ensuing possession and clinched the game when Belmore hit senior wide out Caleb Johnson on a third down-and-eight with 52 seconds to go . Johnson led UND’s receiving corps with nine catches for 96 yards, while Belmore completed nine of 18 passes for 89 yards in the second half .

UND (11-2), which fell to Grand Valley State in the 2003 Division II national championship game, becomes the first team to beat the Lakers in the postseason since it defeated GVSU in the 2001 national championship game .

The Lakers (10-3) were looking for their third consecutive NCAA title .

The Fighting Sioux will take on Pittsburg State (Kan .) in the Division II semifinals on Dec . 4 likely in Pittsburg, Kan . The NCAA will make a formal announcement by Sunday afternoon .

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 .

Philpot put the Gorillas in front for good with 45 seconds left in the third period when he tossed a 19-yard TD pass to Carpenter, who had four catches for 46 yards in the game .

Nathan Alleman added a 28-yard field goal with 9:32 to play in the game to make it a 24-13 margin . Alleman originally misfired on a 32-yard field goal attempt on the drive, but UND was flagged for a personal foul, leaping, penalty on the kick to extend the Gorillas’ offensive series . Following Alleman’s kick, the UND offense was forced into a three-and-out series, and the Fighting Sioux punted the ball away with 7:38 to play in the

game, giving Philpot time to engineer Pitt State’s game-clinching scoring drive .

Sophomore quarterback Chris Belmore completed 19 of 31 passes for 264 yards in the game for the Fighting Sioux, and Roland had a team-high 71 yards rushing with two scores .

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 .

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 .

UND’s rushing attack was led by Beatty, who carried 31 times for 113 yards, and whose three-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter staked the Sioux to a 10-0 lead .

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 .

Glas and Baumann traded field goals in the game’s final 10:32 and UND senior strong safety Danny Gagner sealed the win with his second interception of the game with 1:07 left on the clock .

Manke was an efficient 15-of-24 for 121 yards and was not intercepted . Chris Belmore started the game and went 2-for-4 for 12 yards .

Senior receiver Dan Grossman was the top target for UND, catching 10 passes for 73 yards . Dressler caught four passes for 45 yards and ran three times for 72 yards, including a 57-yard scamper on UND’s first possession of the game .

The win improves UND’s overall record to 10-2 and sets up a fourth postseason matchup with Grand Valley State in the past five seasons . The two teams split a pair of appearances in the NCAA title game, with UND winning in 2001 and GVSU coming out on top in 2003 . The Sioux defeated the Lakers 19-15 in Grand Forks during last year’s quarterfinal round .

Notes: Glas’ third field goal of the game gave him 135 points this season, setting a new Division II single-season record for points by a kicker . It is the fifth different Division II record Glas has set this

season … Grossman moved into second place on UND’s all-time receptions list with 147, surpassing Tim Gelinske (138), Willis Stattelman (140) and Ron Gustafson (144) . With 147 career receptions, Grossman is 10 away from breaking Dan Graf’s school record of 156 . . . Gagner’s two interceptions gave him 16 for his career, tying him with Dan Martinsen (1969-71) for second place on UND’s all-time list . He trails only Kelly Howe, who had 17 picks from 1996-99 . . . Beatty eclipsed the 1,000-rushing-yard plateau for the first time in his career . . . The game was played in front of 5,223 fans, the smallest UND football crowd in Alerus Center history . . . The Fighting Sioux are now 8-0 in postseason games at the Alerus .

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 .

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 .

Finnerty’s two touchdown passes came four-and-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 all-time 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 fourth-most 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 .

Postseason reCaPs

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 .

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 .

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 .

Winona State quarterback Aaron Boettcher was injured on the second play of the game and the Warriors never really got into a rhythm . Credit much of that to the Sioux defense, who had one interception, one sack and held Winona State to 2 .03 yards per play .

Senior running back Chris Beatty got into the action in the fourth quarter . Beatty rushed for a 19-yard score . He ended with 79 yards on six attempts and the touchdown .

UND advances to the second round of the NCAA playoffs and will face second-seeded Nebraska-Omaha next Saturday afternoon in Omaha .

NotEs: Attendance at the Alerus was 5,073 … Chappell’s 235 rushing yards are the most by a Sioux player since Phillip Moore ran 39 yards for 282 against Augustana (11/7/98) . It also sets a UND single-game playoff record, a mark

previously held by Shannon Burnell . Burnell had 191 yards on Nov . 20, 1993 against Pittsburg State . … Chappell’s 15 rushing touchdowns are tied with Moore for third-most in school history . It is also the most touchdowns by a freshman . … Chappell also became the first freshman to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season . He currently has 1,074 yards . … This was UND’s first playoff shutout since the Sioux defeated Pittsburg State 38-0 on 11/24/01 at the Alerus Center . . . . UND is now 9-0 in postseason games at the Alerus Center .

omaHa, Neb.—Freshman kicker Brandon Hellevang booted a 26-yard field goal with 2:45 remaining and the Sioux defense held Nebraska-Omaha 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, Nebraska-Omaha 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 .

Miller scored on a two-yard plunge on UNO’s first series of the second half, but UND countered with a one-yard run by Brandon Brady (So ., Bloomington, Minn .) to take back the seven-point lead heading into the fourth quarter . Miller scored his fourth TD of the game on a five-yard effort with 13:08 left on the

clock, but that would be the last points for UNO .

Manke completed his first 10 passes, eerily similar to UND’s regular season game at UNO in October when he completed his first 15 . He finished 22-of-31 for 260 yards and three touchdowns .

Notes: Dressler’s touchdown catch was the 24th of his career, tying Dan Graf’s school record . . . UND’s win was its first in Omaha since 1995, snapping a five-game losing streak at Caniglia Field .

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 eighth-ranked 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 .

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 . Grand Valley kicker Todd Carter connected on a 28-yard field goal four minutes into the fourth quarter, making it 30-14 with 11:18 remaining .

The Sioux would not go quietly, however . With just over five minutes remaining, Manke hit Weston Dressler on a swing pass, and Dressler weaved his way into the end zone from 17-yards out for his school-record 25th-career touchdown reception . UND lined up to go for the two-point conversion, but Manke slipped dropping back to pass and the Sioux deficit stood at 10 .

The UND defense forced a pair of turnovers in the dying minutes, but the Sioux were able to turn either of them into points .

Notes: Dressler had 10 catches for 122 yards and surpassed Dan Grossman as the team’s all-time leader in career receptions (167) . Dressler also finished the season with a school-record 1,215 receiving yards to break Ron Gustafson’s 33-yard old record, and he became just the second player in school history to catch 90 passes in a

single season, joining Willis Stattelman, who had 97 in 2003 … Dressler also broke his own school record for single-season all-purpose yards, finishing the year with 2,027 yards . He previously set the record last year with 1,915 . . . UND’s senior class of 2006 graduates as the winningest senior group in school history with a 44-11 record . . .

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 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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 25-yard 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 41-yard 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

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 .

allENDalE, mich.--The Fighting Sioux have played their final NCAA Division II football game .

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 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 to 21-14 with 1:08 left in the third quarter .

But that same 21-14 count would still be on the stadium clock 15 minutes later, despite a handful opportunities 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 4th-and-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

Adams on 4th-and-1 from the Sioux 22 .

Landry finished the game 8-for-12 for 110 yards and the touchdown to Dressler, who finished with five catches for 94 yards . Freund completed 9-of-17 passes for 66 yards before leaving the game .

Notes: Dressler, a Harlon Hill Trophy finalist, finished as UND’s all-time leader in virtually every receiving category possible . His 243 career receptions rank 15th in Division II history and his 38 career touchdown catches are tied for 17th all-time . Dressler also finished the 2007 season with 1,272 receiving yards, breaking the UND single-season record he initially set in 2006 . . . Freund’s 2,860 passing yards this season are the second-most in UND history . Freund also completed 209 passes this season, third-best in program history . . . Sophomore running back Ryan Chappell (Grand Forks) finished the second with 1,640 rushing yards, a number topped only by Phillip Moore in Sioux history . . . Today’s game was the final for UND’s 12 seniors, who went 41-10 and made the NCAA postseason in each of their four seasons .

mISSIONIt 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.

PHILOSOPHYWe 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 500 student-athletes 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 off-season 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 NCAA Division II 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.

The debut NCAA Division I season for North Dakota was not only a success on the field, but in the classroom as well—a tradition the Fighting Sioux have carried with them for the past seven years.

A UND-record four student-athletes were named to the 2008 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America football team. Seniors mitch Braegelmann and Rory manke, both repeat selections, were named to the first team while senior Brady Trenbeath and junior andrew miller were named to the second team.

In addition, Braeglemann was named one of five Laureates by Tau Beta Pi, the national engineering honor society and, along with fellow senior Danny Freund, was named to the 2008 Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Academic All-Star Team.

Manke was one of 29 recipients of the 2008-09 NCAA Men’s Fall Sport Postgraduate Scholarship.

A league-high 16 players received Great West Conference fall all-academic honors and seven seniors gained membership into the 2009 National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society.

In 2007, UND placed a nation’s-best three players – senior Weston Dressler and juniors mitch Braegelmann and Rory manke – on the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America first team. Dressler and Braegelmann earned first team honors. Dressler was also named a national semifinalist for the prestigious Draddy Trophy, the highest academic honor in NCAA football.

Additionally, UND led the NCC in academic all-conference selections (eight) and NCC Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll selections (22).

Upon completion of the 2006 football season, senior defensive back michael Greenwood, a biology major, was named the NCC Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America first team, where he was joined by teammate Weston Dressler. UND was the only team in Division II with two student-athletes named to the first team.

The Sioux also placed an impressive 29 student-athletes on the 2006 NCC Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll and had five representatives on the Academic All-NCC team.

In 2005, seniors Digger anderson, Danny Gagner and Jeff Glas were named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America football team. Glas earned first team honors while Anderson and

Gagner were named to the second team. UND was one of three teams to have as many as three student-athletes named to the team.

UND placed a region-high five student-athletes on the 2005 ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District VII College Division team, including first teamers Anderson, Gagner and Glas. Junior fullback Trent Christensen and junior defensive back michael Greenwood earned second team honors.

UND also placed a league-high nine student-athletes on the Academic All-NCC squad and a league-high 25 student-athletes on the NCC Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

Gagner was also among the seven men’s student-athletes named Honor Athletes for the 2005-06 academic year by the NCC. Each conference school selected its top student-athlete on the basis of academic performance, athletic ability and performance and leadership in campus and community activities.

Additionally, freshman receiver Brady Trenbeath was named the 2006 recipient of the University of North Dakota’s prestigious

Thomas J. Clifford Freshman Award as the student who during his freshman year best exemplifies the highest academic standards and demonstrates leadership through participation in university and extra-curricular activities and/or community service.

In 2004, offensive lineman matt Buisker received a summer research fellowship from the NASA North Dakota Space Grant Consortium.

Two UND footballers won very prestigious postgraduate scholarships in 2002, continuing the tradition of UND success in the classroom.

Kelby Klosterman, a former standout quarterback for the Sioux, earned the NCAA postgraduate scholarship. Klosterman, who had a 3.74 GPA as an exercise science and physical education major, was Academic All-NCC as a junior and senior and in 2002 was named to the Verizon Academic All-District VII second team.

2006-07 Michael Greenwood

mac Schneider, a former starting center, won the prestigious NCAA Walter Byers Postgraduate Scholarship. A Byers scholar is recognized as an individual who has combined the best elements of mind and body to achieve national distinction for his or her achievements, and who promises to be a future leader in his or her chosen field.

The student-athletes are chosen in recognition of outstanding academic achievement and potential for success in postgraduate study in his or her planned career. After serving as the press secretary for North Dakota Congressman

Earl Pomeroy, Schneider is currently attending law school at Georgetown University.

The academic standard set by UND student-athletes is exemplified by athletes such as Schneider and Klosterman in addition to former student-athletes such as Brant Grimes.

Grimes capped his senior season in 1999 by being named UND’s third Burger King Scholar Athlete. He was also named a National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete and was chosen to the NCC All-Academic, CoSIDA Academic All-District and CoSIDA Academic All-America teams.

The academic success has not been just recent news. Kurt Otto became the football program’s first GTE Academic All-American in 1987 and he added an NCAA postgraduate scholarship later that year. matt Gulseth achieved both of those honors the next year.

In 1992, Tim Gelinske was a first-team academic All-American, received an NCAA postgraduate scholarship and was the school’s initial National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame National Scholar-Athlete.

Tim Tibesar would later pull off the trifecta in 1996 in addition to being the first member of the Fighting Sioux to be named a Burger King Scholar-Athlete.

Chris Schrantz was named the school’s second Burger King Scholar-Athlete in 1997 in addition to twice being named to the All-NCC Academic team.

The academic success demonstrated by the football team is shared by all UND athletic teams.

In 2008-09, UND boasted a school-record six ESPN the Magazine Academic All-Americans and 80 academic all-conference selections.

A native of Duluth, Minn., Shannon Burnell graduated following the 1993 season as North Dakota’s all-time leader in rushing yards (4,710), carries (931), rushing touchdowns (38) and all-purpose yards (5,393).

A three-time All-North Central Conference first team selection, Burnell led the NCC in rushing in each of his final three seasons and became UND’s first finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy (awarded to the best player in Division II football) during his junior year of 1992.

Burnell set UND’s single-season rushing record in 1991 with 1,461 yards, and broke his own standard with 1,589 yards as a senior. Following his senior year, Burnell received All-America honors from four different organizations, including three first-team accolades, after leading the Fighting Sioux to an NCC championship and a berth in the NCAA semifinal.

He also led UND to an NCAA postseason appearance in 1992 and was

named a third-team All-American in 1993. Burnell set a school record that still stands when he ran for more than 100 yards in 15 straight games over the final nine games of the 1991 season and the first six games of the 1992 season.

Currently, Burnell remains ranked second on UND’s career rushing yardage list (all games) and owns three of the top 10 single-season rushing yardage totals in Sioux history. In 1994, Burnell was named to UND’s All-Century football team by a vote of more than 1,500 Sioux football fans.

Under head coach Roger Thomas, the Fighting Sioux went 10-3 overall in 1993 and advanced to the NCAA Division II semifinal for the first time in UND football history. In an NCAA quarterfinal win over Mankato State, QB Clay Wagner threw a school-record five touchdown passes (since broken). The Sioux also captured a share of their first NCC football title with a 7-2 conference record while winning 10 overall games for the first time in 14 years.

In one of the most memorable games in school history, UND defeated North Dakota State 22-21 on Oct. 30 in Grand Forks on a 32-yard fumble return for a touchdown by linebacker Mike Mooney in the fourth quarter. The victory ended a 14-game losing streak against the rival Bison.

Following the season, Mooney was named a finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, awarded to the top player in DII football. He was also one of four UND All-Americans, joining RB Shannon Burnell, CB Brent Johnson and OL Kevin Robson. Burnell, an individual inductee into the Hall of Fame this year, set a UND single-season record for rushing yardage and graduated as the school’s career leader in virtually every rushing category.

Burnell, Robson, Johnson, Mooney and LB Mike Kuntz were all named to the All-NCC first team. Five players from the 1993 team would go on to sign professional contracts.
