Morning
It was a slow weekend for area D3 teams, but here we go-
UW-Stout 49
@ California Lutheran 24
Lakeland 12
@ UW-Platteville 49
UW-Eau Claire 0
@ St. Thomas (MN) 49
So next weekend within the WIAC, the conference games begin.
Both Wisconsin Lutheran and Finlandia were idle this past weekend. Lakeland was mentioned above so get ready for this score...
Grinnel (IA) 0
@ St. Norbert College 91
Yes, 91. The St. Norbert defense scored 4 TD's, as well as having a special team's TD. St Norbert converted scores on 6 Grinnell turnovers.
Luke Bero from Rapid River / Gladstone (Think he lived in Gladstone but attended Rapid River?) had 2 tackles- one was solo and had a tackle for loss.
So if you're Grinnell, what's the silver lining? How do you turn a negative into a positive?
They highlighted the effort of the players and the tackling machines certain players were. One guy set a school record for 17 solo tackles- 18 total. He also had a forced fumble and fumble recovery.
Other defensive players had a number of tackles, but the one linebacker named Ryan Slager from Orland Park, Illinois really stood out.
Sometimes in games like this you learn about someone's true character, don't cha'?
