ALERUS CENTER
North Dakota is in its seventh 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 ADVANTAGE
The Fighting Sioux have posted a 41-5
record at Alerus Center in six seasons –
including 9-0 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
4
UND ranked seventh in NCAA Division II football in total attendance (52,963) in 2006 and has
ranked among the top 10 nationally in each of its six seasons at the Alerus Center.
Stadium.
UND’s average attendance was also the third-best figure nationally in NCAA Division II for
2001.
UND finished fourth nationally in Division II attendance in 2000, its final season at Memorial
Stadium.

The DALE LENNON File
Head Coach
Year: 9th season at UND
Hometown: Knox, N.D.
Alma Mater: UND, 1985
DOB: December 13, 1960
With a school-record .784 winning percentage, one NCAA
Division II title, two NCAA Division II title game appearances, five North Central Conference Championships and
three NCC Coach of the Year Awards, head coach Dale
Lennon has cemented his legacy in the annals of Fighting
Sioux football in his eight seasons at the helm.
His 80 career wins at UND rank third on the school’s alltime list, trailing only C.A. “Jack” West (89) and his predecessor, current NCC commissioner Roger Thomas (90).
Last season Lennon guided UND to an 11-2 overall record,
highlighted by an NCC championship and a fourth consecutive berth in the NCAA postseason. Among UND’s most
thrilling victories last season was a stunning road victory
over Division I-AA power Northern Iowa.
A former defensive coordinator for the Fighting Sioux from
1990-96, Lennon became the 24th head coach in UND football history when he was hired on March 29, 1999.
It did not take Lennon long to continue UND’s winning tradition. In his first season (1999) as head coach, the Sioux finished 9-2, won a share of the NCC title and advanced to the
first round of the NCAA playoffs.
In 2000 Lennon and the Sioux went 8-3 and narrowly missed
out on another NCAA berth.
The 2001 season proved to be a watershed year for the UND
football program. Lennon guided the team into a new era that
year as the Sioux began play in the 13,500-seat Alerus
Center, an indoor facility that has become one of the most
exciting places to play in all of Division II football.
The new home helped propel the Sioux on a memorable
post-season run that culminated with the first national championship in program history, a 17-14 win over Grand Valley
State.
As a result, Lennon was named 2001 American Football
Coaches Association NCAA Division II Coach of the Year,
also a first in program history. The award earned the
University of North Dakota a $10,000 academic scholarship
from the AFCA to benefit the athletic department and its student-athletes.

In addition to the AFCA national coaching honor, Lennon
was recognized as the 2001 AFCA Region 5 Coach of the

received either honor. He was also named Division II National
Coach of the Year by Don Hansen’s Weekly Football Gazette.
In 2003 Lennon led the Fighting Sioux to a 12-2 record and a
berth in the NCAA Division II championship game for the second time in three years. The Sioux finished a perfect 7-0 in NCC
play and captured the program’s 22nd conference title (15th outright).
Lennon capped the 2003 season by being named NCC Coach of
the Year, Minnesota Vikings College Coach of the Year and the
D2Football.com Midwest Region Coach of the Year.
In 2004 the Fighting Sioux went 11-3 and advanced to the NCAA
Division II semifinal round. In 2005 Lennon guided the Sioux to
a fourth NCC crown during his tenure and another NCAA postseason berth.
Lennon’s Fighting Sioux teams have matched their on-field success with success in the classroom, exceeding a 3.0 grade point
average (out of 4.0) in seven of his eight seasons. In all, more
than 50 Sioux have earned academic all-conference honors during Lennon’s tenure.
Prior to returning to UND as head coach, Lennon served as head
coach at the University of Mary (Bismarck, N.D.), where he
posted a 12-9 record during the 1997 and 1998 seasons. In 1998
the Marauders were 8-3, won the league championship and
advanced to the NAIA playoffs. Lennon was named the North
Dakota Collegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year.
A native of Knox, N.D., Lennon graduated from Rugby High
School before starting his athletic career at UND. A former running back for the Sioux, Lennon served as team captain in 1983
and was named the team’s most valuable offensive back. A
three-year letterwinner, Lennon earned All-NCC honorable mention honors as a senior.
After graduating from UND in 1985, Lennon earned his master’s
degree from Northern State (S.D.) in 1986 while serving as a graduate assistant coach. He also spent seasons at Valley City State
(1986) and Dickinson State (1987) before returning to UND for the
1988 season as a defensive line coach.
He was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1990 and began
transforming the Sioux defense into one of the top squads in the
league and the nation. Under Lennon’s watch as defensive coordinator, UND led the NCC in scoring defense four times and total
defense twice. The Sioux also appeared in the NCAA playoffs four
straight years during that time.
Lennon and his wife, Chris, have three sons: Jared (18), Trevor
(17) and Cody (13).

THE DALE LENNON ERA
The Fighting Sioux football program has maintained its winning tradition since Head Coach Dale Lennon inherited the coaching reigns from
his mentor and current North Central Conference Commissioner Roger
Thomas.
Since replacing Thomas in 1999, Lennon has guided the Fighting Sioux
to a 80-22 record, five North Central Conference titles (1999, 2001,
2003, 2005, 2006) and a pair of appearances in the NCAA Division II
Championship Game. Lennon led UND to the school’s first national
football title in 2001 and was named 2001 NCAA DII Coach of the Year,
the first in UND history.
Under the guidance of Lennon, Fighting Sioux student-athletes have
excelled not only on the playing field, but also in the classroom and in
the community.

Alma Mater: Minnesota State, 1991
Chris Mussman is in his ninth season as a member of
the UND coaching staff and seventh as UND’s offensive
coordinator. He was promoted to assistant head coach
after the 2003 season.
Mussman was the Sioux offensive line coach for his
first two years at UND, and he has continued those duties
while taking over the offense as coordinator.
Since assuming offensive coordinator duties in 2000,
Mussman has coached 27 All-North Central Conference
Players on offense, including the 2006 NCC Most
Valuable Receiver in Weston Dressler and three of the last
four NCC Most Valuable Offensive Linemen in Chris

UND’s offensive record books are littered with accomplishments achieved under Mussman’s watch, including
the two top single-season passing yardage performances,
top six completion percentage performances and six of the
top seven marks for single-season receptions.
Last season under the direction of Mussman, UND
quarterback Reed Manke completed a school-record 68.7
percent of his passes – including a whopping 70.2 percent
during the regular season – while Weston Dressler became
the school’s all-time receptions leader and running back
Ryan Chappell broke program records for freshman rushing yards and touchdowns.
As a team, the Sioux finished in the top three of virtually every offensive category in the NCC.
In 2005, Dan Grossman became UND’s all-time reception leader and combined with running back Chris Beatty
to give the Sioux their second 1,000-yard receiver/running
back duo ever.
In 2003, Mussman coached the first 1,000-yard rushing
and receiving duo in UND history in running back Adam
Roland and receiver Willis Stattelman.
Prior to coming to UND, Mussman spent the previous
eight seasons as the assistant head coach and offensive
coordinator at Minnesota State, Mankato. He became
MSU’s offensive coordinator in 1996 after starting as the
Mavericks’ offensive line and tight end coach.
A native of Owatonna, Minn., Mussman holds a bachelor’s degree from Iowa State and a master’s degree from
Minnesota State. He was a four-year letterwinner at Iowa
State, serving as a 1990 team captain for the Cyclones.
Mussman and his wife, Shelley, have two sons: Jacob
and Jackson.

JOHN
Assistant Head Coach/Off. Coordinator
John Kelling is in his fourth season as UND’s defensive
backs coach and was promoted to co-defensive coordinator prior to the 2006 season.
Last season, Kelling’s first as co-defensive coordinator,
the Sioux led the NCC in scoring defense, allowing just
under 19 points per game. Two members of Kelling’s secondary – cornerbacks Jason Hoffschneider and Donovan
Alexander – earned all-conference honors, while strong
safety Tom DeSautel was an honorable mention.
Kelling’s defensive backfield led the NCC in pass efficiency in each of his two seasons on UND’s staff and last
ranked third.
In 2004, his first season with the Sioux, Kelling’s secondary was the stingiest in the NCC, allowing a leagueleading 158.8 yards per game. UND also led the league in
pass defense efficiency, holding opponents to an 88.2 passer rating.
All-America safety Danny Gagner earned his second
straight NCC Most Valuable Defensive Back nod in 2005,
while capturing all-conference honors with fellow defensive backs Josh Brandsted and Jason Hoffschneider.
Prior to arriving at UND, Kelling served eight years on
the Augustana (S.D.) staff, most recently as a wide
receivers coach and strength coach. He coached one of the
most prolific receiving duos in NCAA Division II history
in 2000 in Matt Holmlund and Ryan Nodland. The pair,
both All-NCC First Team selections, racked up 502 receptions in their careers under Kelling’s tutelage.
“JK”, as he is affectionately known by his colleagues,
has enjoyed many successes in his coaching career. The
list of accomplishments his players have achieved under
his direction include: One current NFL player, two final
eight candidates for the Harlon Hill, four All-Americans,
eight first-team all-conference players, including two Most
Valuable Receivers.
Kelling, a Rochester, Minn., native, received his undergraduate degree from Minnesota State University,
Mankato, in physical education. John was a four-year
starter at free safety for the Mavericks, two-time first team
all-conference, the NCC’s Most Valuable defensive back
as a senior, and Football Gazette’s Defensive Player of the
Year in 1991.
In the fall of 2004, Kelling was inducted into Minnesota
State’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

Alma Mater: Gustavus Adolphus, 1996
Mike Mannausau is in his fourth season on UND’s
coaching staff and second as co-defensive coordinator
and inside linebackers coach. He served as UND’s defensive line coach during his first two seasons on staff.
In 2006 Mannausau helped mastermind the NCC’s topranked defense in terms of scoring average, holding opponents to 18.8 points per game. He also tutored All-NCC
first team inside linebacker Dan Ullsperger.
In 2005 under Mannausau, UND’s defensive linemen
accounted for 21.5 sacks among the team’s league-high
42, and Ross Brennan and Jason Peterson each earned
All-NCC First Team honors.
A pair of Mannausau’s players earned All-North
Central Conference honors in 2004: Peterson and junior
defensive tackle Shane Duchscher. Under the watch of
Mannausau, UND led the NCC with 37 quarterback
sacks.
Mannausau previously served as the head football
coach at Grand Forks Red River High School in 2003.
Prior to that, Mannausau was a graduate assistant with the
Fighting Sioux in 2001 and 2002, working primarily with
the defensive line. He earned his master’s degree in kinesiology from UND in July 2003.
From 1999-2001, Mannasuau was the defensive coordinator at Falls High School in his hometown of
International Falls, Minn.
A standout linebacker for the Fighting Sioux from
1994-98, Mannausau lettered four times and was a 1998
Football Gazette All-America honorable mention.
Mannausau received a bachelor’s degree from UND in
May 1999, majoring in education/physical education and
minoring in special education and coaching.
Mannausau is married to former Fighting Sioux
women’s basketball standout Tiffany Pudenz.
Receivers coach Tim Belmore is in his eighth season as an
offensive assistant with the Fighting Sioux.
Under Belmore’s watch, Fighting Sioux receivers have continued to produce eye-popping numbers year in and year out.
Last year junior Weston Dressler became UND’s all-time
leader in receptions, breaking Dan Grossman’s one-year-old
record. Dressler also set UND single-season records for
receiving yardage and receiving touchdowns, while freshman
Brady Trenbeath established UND rookie records for receptions and receiving yards.
Belmore has tutored the NCC’s leading receiver in each of
the last three seasons; Dressler hauled in a Division II-leading
90 catches last season, Dan Grossman caught a league-high 88
passes in 2005 and Caleb Johnson led the league with 82 in
2004.
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 AllNCC honors in 2000 and 2001 and made three All-America
teams in 2001.
Prior to UND, Belmore spent two seasons at South Dakota
State University, where he was a graduate assistant and
coached the wide receivers.
A Bloomington, Minn., native, Belmore attended Gustavus
Adolphus College, receiving a bachelor’s degree in communications in 1996. He was a four-year letterwinner and all-conference performer in football. After graduation, he coached for
two seasons at Gustavus and served as recruiting coordinator.
Belmore’s younger brother, Chris, was a quarterback for the
Fighting Sioux from 2003-06 and ranks among the top 10 on
virtually every passing category at UND.

2007 SEASON OUTLOOK
QUARTERBACKS
The season begins with a new quarterback
at the helm. Junior Danny Freund enters
the 2007 campaign as the team’s starting
quarterback after further establishing himself with a solid spring. The coaching staff
is extremely pleased with Freund’s
progress and believes he has all of the
tools to lead the offense.
Sophomore Ryan Konrath and freshman
Jake Landry will continue to battle for
the backup role. Sophomore Andrew
Gudmunson returns from the baseball
diamond to compete for playing time,
while freshman Brock Setness returns to
provide further depth.
Andrew Sorbo and sophomore Marcus
Tibesar. Sorbo gained important starting
experience last season while Tibesar looks
to build on a solid spring season. He could
also add depth at tight end.
Freshman Nick Safranski, who is
rebounding from an injury, should provide
added fullback depth.
WIDE RECEIVERS
UND’s wide receivers are coming off of a
strong collective 2006 season and the
coaching staff is expecting big things again
in 2007.
Leading the group is Harlon Hill Trophy
candidate Weston Dressler, who has been
a dynamic, impact player since stepping
on the field as a true freshman in 2004.
Last year Dressler caught a Division-II
leading 90 passes for a school-record
1,217 yards and 16 touchdowns and is
poised for another big year.
Sophomore Brady Trenbeath enjoyed a
breakout year in 2006, setting UND rookie records with 60 catches and 753 receiving yards. He also hauled in four touchdown receptions.
RUNNING BACKS
Sophomore and Grand Forks native Ryan
Chappell returns after a record-breaking
freshman campaign in which he ran for
1,253 yards and 15 touchdowns, both
UND records for a freshman.
Chappell’s backfield partner may be junior
Brandon Brady (right), who emerged as a
short-yardage specialist last season and
scored six touchdowns.
Sophomore Branden Dungy is coming off
of a successful spring and freshman
Steven Battle makes the move from
defensive back to give the Sioux quality
depth at running back.
With the loss of Trent Christensen to
graduation, the fullback position will likely be filled by two quality players in senior
14
Brady Trenbeath enjoyed the finest season ever
produced by a freshman Sioux receiver in 2006.
Junior Brandon Brady scored a career-high six
touchdowns in a short-yardage role last season.
2007 SEASON OUTLOOK
Juniors Jake Caufield and Alex Nicholas
will also vie for playing time. Caufield’s
sophomore season was cut short by an
injury but he is expected to bounce back.
Nicholas, meanwhile, gained valuable
experience last year and will be a factor.
Providing depth and playmaking ability
will be a group of underclassmen, including sophomores Kenley Wahlin, David
Peterson and Kellen Leupp and freshman
Ryan Dressler.
TIGHT ENDS
The Sioux return a veteran group at the
tight end position. Senior Troy Ott and
junior Blair Grover (below) split time at
the position last season and both are
expected to play a significant role again
this season.
The athletic Grover led UND’s tight ends
with 18 catches for 221 yards and three
touchdowns and his combination of
strength and speed make him a viable
threat as a receiver.
Ott offers great size at 6-foot-5, 270
pounds and will play a big role in the running game.
Sophomore Marcus Tibesar could also
factor into the equation as a multiple threat
at both fullback and tight end, while freshman Steve Kalwasinski will provide
added depth to the position.
OFFENSIVE LINE
Experience is what this unit brings to the
Sioux offense and big things are expected
in 2007. With four returning starters from
a year ago, the coaching staff believes the
offensive line could be the team’s biggest
strength on offense.
A pair of all-conference juniors, center
Mitch Braegelmann and guard Brian
Troen, will anchor the unit. Braegelmann
stepped back into the starting lineup after
missing the entire 2005 season due to an
injury, while Troen was named to the AllNCC team for the second time in as many
years.
There is also plenty of experience returning at the tackle spots, with seniors Brett
Bauer and Andy Hoffelt returning to start
on the left and right side, respectively.
Bauer started all 13 games last season,
while Hoffelt saw limited action after suffering an injury during the sixth game of
the season.
DEFENSIVE LINE
UND’s defensive line will include a mix of
experienced veterans alongside players
gaining their first taste of action.
Anchoring this year’s unit is senior Alex
Cadwell, a first-time starter who has been
a mainstay within the defensive line rotation for the past three seasons. Cadwell
provides experience to a young group and
uses his combination of strength and speed
to make big plays.
Link Gottbeheat, a sophomore, enters fall
camp looking to push Cadwell for playing
time. Gottbeheat gained valuable experience last year, showcasing his ability to
rush the passer and defend the run.
Nick Farstveet, a promising sophomore,
will enter fall camp in the mix for playing
time and will be looked upon to produce.
Kyle Krusentjerna and Michael Gowan,
a pair of freshmen with bright futures, will
provide depth at defensive end.
Junior Mike Ebanks is the newcomer to
the program after transferring from
Hibbing (Minn.) Community College.
The battle for the remaining starting spot
will likely continue into fall camp. Seniors
Nathan Johnston and Justin Muscha
(right) enter the season as the most experienced of the remaining linemen.
Sophomores David Koelln, Kyle Bondy,
Alex Mueske and Zach Keller, along with
freshmen Keith Queoff and Creighton
Schroyer, will battle for playing time after
solid spring performances.
Junior tight end Blair Grover has emerged as
another key weapon in UND’s passing attack.
Sophomore Pete Hiltner and freshman
Ian Henderson both return after battling
injuries during spring practice.
Senior Justin Muscha will vie for playing time on
the offensive line.
15
2007 SEASON OUTLOOK
Ebanks, who had 15 quarterback sacks last
season, is a physical player who has a great
combination of size and quickness.
Sophomore Nate Wayne will replace 2006
NCC Most Valuable Defensive Lineman
Adam Wolff at the starting nose guard
position. Wayne gained valuable experience last season and will be looked upon to
anchor the heart of the Sioux defense.
There is impressive depth behind Stroup
on the weak side, led by juniors Matt
Bodoh (below) and Tyson Giles. Both are
proven players with excellent speed and
athleticism.
Sophomore Andrew Miller, a smart,
physical player who had a great spring,
will back up Meek. Freshman Ryan
Kasowski is coming off of a spring where
he showed a knack for making big plays
and will provide depth.
Junior Brett Holinka is charged with
replacing longtime standout Dan
Ullsperger at the “Sam” linebacker slot.
Holinka solidified a starting spot this
spring after emerging as a key reserve and
special teams contributor last season.
Providing depth behind Wolff will be
sophomore Nick Nolte, who will be
pushed by freshmen Ty Boyle and Matt
Bakke. All three combine excellent size
and speed and each had solid spring seasons. Boyle could also see time at defensive end.
Juniors Jeff Richter (below) and Ward
DeMontigny will vie for the other starting
end position opposite Cadwell. Both
gained extensive playing time last season
and will be looked upon to use their size
and speed to make big plays.
Junior outside linebacker Matt Bodoh emerged as
a key member of the defensive unit last season.
Starting opposite Stroup on the strong side
will be sophomore Noah Dombrovski, a
player the coaching staff believes has allconference potential. Fellow sophomore
Jeff Tescher will push Dombrovski after
gaining valuable game experience last season as UND’s long snapper.
Senior Tyler Morrow looks to build upon a strong
finish to his junior season.
Also pushing for playing time will be athletic freshman Ross Cochran, as well as
freshman Peter Gibbs and junior college
transfer Ryan Pollow.
Holinka will be pushed by senior Tyler
Morrow (above), a big, physical player
who showed great promise down the
stretch in 2006.
INSIDE LINEBACKERS
Paul German and Curtis Dublanko, both
redshirt freshmen coming off of an impressive spring, showed great knowledge and
playmaking abilities and will provide
depth.
UND’s strong tradition of inside linebackers will continue this year with the emergence of several new faces.
Junior defensive end Jeff Richter will compete for
a starting role on the defensive line this season.
OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS
Sophomore Bobby Stroup returns after
setting a UND freshman record with eight
quarterback sacks last season. He will
enter his first season as the starting weak
outside linebacker.
16
Senior Robbie Meek will anchor the unit
in his first season as the starting “Will”
linebacker. A key reserve the past three
seasons, Meek is set to enjoy a strong senior campaign.
2007 SEASON OUTLOOK
SECONDARY
With three of four starters lost to graduation, new faces will dot the secondary in
2007. The lone returning starter is cornerback Donovan Alexander, a three-year
starter and the 23rd overall pick in the
2007 CFL Draft who has been a cornerstone in a secondary that consistently
ranks among the top 15 in the nation in
pass efficiency defense.
ability will be counted on again, this time
in his first year as the starting free safety.
Halfman landed 13 punts inside the opponents’ 20-yard line and enjoyed three
games in which he averaged at least 40
yards per punt.
Sophomore kicker Brandon Hellevang
(below) established himself as one of the
nation’s top kickers as a freshman and
will build on that early success as a sophomore. Hellevang went 12-for-15 (80.0%)
on field goals over the final 10 games of
the season, kicked two crucial game-winning field goals on the road and was
named UND’s Most Valuable Special
Teams Player.
Junior Drake Otto (below) won the other
corner spot opposite Alexander with his
consistent play during spring practice, but
he will be challenged by the return of senior Tyler Weigelt. Weigelt was slowed by
injury during the spring but is expected to
be at full strength in time for fall camp.
Ball-hawking junior Rory Manke takes over as
UND’s starting free safety in 2007.
Sophomore Tyson Heiser, who made
many plays during the spring, will back up
Manke.
Joining Manke in the starting lineup is
another first-year starter, strong safety
Derek Malner, who coaches say earned
his position with his knack for big hits and
playmaking ability.
Freshman Joel Schwenzfeier and sophomore Clayton Leith are expected to push
Malner for playing time.
Junior Drake Otto replaces four-year starter
Jason Hoffschneider at left cornerback.
Junior Brandon Jordan showed flashes
of greatness during the spring but needs to
develop more consistency to garner more
playing time. Freshman Carl Hanson
continues to develop after moving from
safety to corner this spring.
No starters return at the safety positions,
but junior Rory Manke (top middle) certainly made the most of his playing time
last year in a reserve role, leading the team
in interceptions with five. His playmaking
Transfer Bryson Janecek is continuing to
learn the defense and should provide necessary depth.
SPECIAL TEAMS
With the return of a pair of All-NCC performers, UND boasts arguably the most
talented and most stable kicking situation
in the conference.
Kicker Brandon Hellevang earned All-NCC
Second Team honors as a freshman.
In Dressler and Chappell, UND has the
luxury of choosing between two of the
most explosive return specialists in the
nation. Dressler has scored a schoolrecord four return touchdowns (three on
punts) and has more than 2,500 career
return yards to his credit, while Chappell
merely averaged 32.7 yards on three punt
returns and 27 yards on 11 kick returns as
a freshman last season.
Senior Brent Halfmann has earned allconference honors in each of his three seasons, including a first-team selection as a
sophomore. A 2005 all-region performer,

‘07 SPRING GAME
2007 Spring Game
News Release
April 21, 2007
QUARTERBACK DANNY FREUND SHINES
ANNUAL FOOTBALL SPRING GAME
IN
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — University of North Dakota sophomore
quarterback Danny Freund completed 10-of-15 passes for 135
yards and engineered both of UND’s offensive scoring drives this
afternoon in the annual football spring game at Memorial Stadium
in front of more than 300 fans.
The game was a controlled scrimmage featuring simulated game situations and an official score was not kept.
Freund, a native of Kenosha, Wis., also threw one touchdown pass,
which came on the final play of the scrimmage. With the ball at the
defense’s 10-yard line, Freund threw a pass over the middle that
bounced off of tailback Ryan Chappell (So., Grand Forks) and into
the arms of offensive lineman Brian Troen (Jr., Racine, Wis.).
Troen putted his head down and drove straight ahead for the touchdown reception.
Chappell’s was Freund’s favorite target on the day, catching five
passes for 81 yards, both game highs. Chappell also carried 11 times
for 38 yards, including a seven-yard touchdown.
UND’s other four quarterbacks went a combined 5-for-15 for 61
yards and were pestered all day long by a UND defense that registered nine sacks, including one-and-a-half sacks each by Jeff
Richter (Jr., St. Cloud, Minn.) and transfer Mike Ebanks (Jr.,
Orlando, Fla.).
The Sioux defense also intercepted a pair of passes, one each by
defensive back Clayton Leith (So., Hawthorne, Wis.) and linebacker Ryan Kasowski (Fr., Grand Forks).
Other notable defensive performances included defensive back
Tyler Weigelt’s (Sr., Fessenden, N.D.) game-high six tackles – all
solo – and defensive back Steven Battle’s (Fr., Grand Forks) two
pass breakups and three solo tackles.

NORTH CENTRAL CONFERENCE
000UUU
The North Central
Conference has
prided itself on the
success of its student-athletes on
and off of the
field-of-play. In
the 57 years since
the North Central
Conference joined
the NCAA, NCC
Roger Thomas
member schools
NCC Commissioner
have brought home
43 NCAA Division II national team
championships and over 300 individual
national titles. NCC student-athletes
have also earned more than 375 ESPN
The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica honors and 175 NCAA PostGraduate Scholarships.
The NCC, comprised of seven institutions in North Dakota, Minnesota, South
Dakota and Nebraska, has had 12
national team champions in the past 7
years. The tradition of success is especially strong in women’s basketball
where NCC schools have claimed nine
national championships, all in the last 16
seasons. An NCC team also reached the
championship game in 11 straight seasons from 1991-2001. The conference
was formed at a meeting in the fall of
1921 and the first conference championship was the track & field championship held in the spring of 1922 in
Brookings, S.D. The 2007-08 season
marks the final year of competition for
the North Central Conference after 87
years of excellence.
The North Central Conference awards
championships in 20 sports. The 10
men’s NCC sports are: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor
track, outdoor track, swimming, tennis
and wrestling. The 10 women’s sports
are: basketball, cross country, golf,
indoor track, outdoor track, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball.
Each spring the conference awards an
all-sport champion trophy for men and
women and began a North Central
Conference Cup during the 2003-04 season, which combines the points from the
men's and women’s all-sports awards.
Minnesota State captured its third
straight NCC Cup in 2006-07 while the
Mavericks also captured the men’s
award. Nebraska-Omaha captured the
women’s award.
The North Central Conference honors
one male and one female student each
year with the NCC Scholar-Athlete
Award, which strives to honor the top
senior student-athlete in the conference.
For the 2006-07 academic year, North
Dakota’s Michael Greenwood was the
recipient of the award for the men’s
sports, while South Dakota’s Mara
McGill was the women’s sports honoree.
Roger Thomas was named the NCC’s
sixth full-time Commissioner in January
of 2005. Melanie Nelson, Associate
Commissioner, joined the conference
office in the spring of 1992 and Jon J.
Martin, now Assistant Commissioner was
named the first Director of Media Relations in
July 1998. Colin Kapitan is the coordinator of
officials for both football and basketball.

2006 SEASON REVIEW
000UUU
GOING TO THE CHAPPELL
Freshman running back Ryan
Chappell enjoyed one of the finest
games ever put forth by a Sioux in
UND’s 42-0 first round playoff win
over Winona State.
The Grand Forks native ran for 235
yards and five touchdowns – both
UND playoff records. And he did so on
just 16 carries, scoring on runs of 23, 3,
21, 8 and 64 yards.
For the season Chappell set UND
freshman records with 1,253 rushing
yards and 15 touchdowns and was
named to the All-NCC first team.
Fighting Sioux fans were treated to
one of the most memorable seasons in
team history in 2006, a season littered
with individual accomplishments and
punctuated with a second straight NCC
championship and a fourth consecutive
trip to the NCAA playoffs.
Among the highlights:
BACK-TO-BACK
A 33-26 win over 15th-ranked
South Dakota on the final day of the
regular season enabled UND to clinch a
share of its second consecutive North
Central Conference championship. It
marked the 24th time in program history that the Sioux claimed the league title
and the fifth time under head coach
Dale Lennon.
ON THE WESTON FRONT
Junior wide receiver Weston
Dressler enjoyed a record-breaking
campaign and for his efforts was named
one of 24 national candidates for the
Harlon Hill Trophy, awarded annually
to the top player in Division II football.
Dressler led the nation with 90
receptions and set UND single-season
records with 1,215 receiving yards and
16 touchdown receptions. He also shattered his own team record for singleseason all-purpose yards, racking up
2,027 in 2006. Dressler also became the
school’s all-time leader in receptions.
POSTSEASON BOUND
The Fighting Sioux advanced to the
NCAA Division II postseason for the
fourth straight season. UND opened
with a 42-0 thrashing of #19 Winona
State at Alerus Center, making the
Sioux a perfect 9-0 all time at the “Al”
in the playoffs.
The following week, UND toppled
longtime nemesis and 12th-ranked
Nebraska-Omaha 38-35 in Omaha, giving the Sioux their first win at Caniglia
Field since 1995.
However, for the second straight
year UND’s season would come to an
end at Grand Valley State, where the
Sioux fell to the top-ranked Lakers 3020 in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals.
68
FAB FROSH
Chappell’s standout season was
one of many turned in by Sioux freshmen in 2006.
Outside linebacker Bobby Stroup
racked up a UND freshman record eight
quarterback sacks, while wide receiver
Brady Trenbeath set new rookie standards for receptions (60) and receiving
yards (753). Trenbeath was named an
All-NCC honorable mention.
Freshman
kicker
Brandon
Hellevang, meanwhile, proved more
than capable of replacing former AllAmerican Jeff Glas, earning All-NCC
second team honors. Hellevang nailed
12 of his final 15 field goal attempts on
the season and converted 49 of his 50
extra point tries.
EFFICIENCY EXPERT
Despite his season being interrupted by an injury, senior quarterback
Reed Manke (left) put together
arguably the finest season ever by a
UND quarterback.
Manke, in his first year as the
starter, completed a school-record 68.7
percent of his passes, including an
astounding 70.2 percent during the regular season. He also threw for more
than 2,000 yards and 19 touchdowns,
and graduated as the school’s all-time
leader in career completion percentage
(67.2).
Quarterback Reed Manke set UND records for
single-season completetion percentage and career
completion percentage in 2006.

SIOUX-WEET UPSET!

season, UND took to the road to face
Division I-AA power and 2005 national
runner-up Northern Iowa, and proceeded to upset the Panthers 35-31 in one of
the most thrilling games in school history.
Freshman running back Ryan
Chappell loudly announced his arrival
on the collegiate scene, running for 121
yards and two touchdowns on just nine
carries.
Junior receiver Weston Dressler
took a Reed Manke pass 50 yards for
the winning touchdown with 54 seconds remaining. Dressler’s heroics

UNI Dome – Cedar Rapids, Iowa
ELLENSBURG, Wash. — Senior quarterback Reed Manke threw for four touchdowns
and younger brother Rory made two critical
second-half interceptions, as the Fighting
Sioux rallied for a season-opening 28-14 win
at Central Washington.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa —Junior Weston
Dressler’s 50-yard touchdown reception with
54 seconds remaining gave UND a stunning
35-31 victory tonight over Northern Iowa, the
third-ranked team in Division I-AA football
and last year’s I-AA national runner-up.
Reed’s four touchdown passes were a career
high, while Rory’s interceptions were the first
of his career.
It was UND’s first victory over a I-AA opponent since clipping Montana 28-27 back on
September 11, 1982.
The Sioux were trailing 14-0 late in the second half, when the offense started to click,
first on a five play, 67-yard drive that was
keyed by a pair of Weston Dressler receptions.
Dressler’s 50-yard catch and run capped a
wild final five minutes that saw the lead
change four times and 29 points scored
between the two teams.
Facing third-and-nine, Reed Manke eluded
pressure in the pocket, stepped up and found
Dressler over the middle for a 24-yard gain to
the Central Washington 21. Then one play
later, Manke hit Dressler on a screen pass,
and Dressler used a Lee Groeshl block to race
up the sideline for the score, cutting the
Wildcat lead in half.
UND took over for its next possession on it’s
own 39 with 1:27 left on the clock in the second half, and three plays later Manke connected with freshman Brady Trenbeath for a
37-yard touchdown with exactly one minute
left in the half.
The Sioux grabbed their first lead of the game
with an impressive 11-play, 90-yard drive that
covered more than five-and-a-half minutes of
the third quarter. On second and goal from the
Wildcat nine, Manke was forced to roll left,
then avoided a sack before rolling back to the
right, where he found Dressler at the end zone
marker for his second TD catch of the game.
Brandon Hellevang’s extra point was
blocked, keeping the Sioux lead at 20-14.
On the ensuing Central Washington drive,
Rory Manke intercepted a deflected pass and
the Wildcat 25-yard line and returned it inside
the five-yard line. Four plays later on fourthand-goal from the one, Reed Manke spotted
fullback Trent Christensen all alone in the
end zone on a play-action pass. The Sioux
were successful on the two-point try with
Manke hitting Christensen again for a 28-14
lead to complete the comeback.
The Wildcats were poised to answer on their
drive, marching inside the UND 40, but Rory
Manke snuffed out another drive with his
second straight interception, this time a leaping, one-handed grab at the back of his end
zone.
Reed Manke completed 22-of-30 for 261 and
four scores. His favorite target was Dressler,
who had 10 receptions for 141 yards and two
touchdowns. All were career highs for
Dressler.
The Sioux, ranked fourth in Division II, led
for much of the game and were hanging on to
a 21-16 lead late in the fourth quarter when
then the fireworks began.

Brandon Strouth was UND’s top rusher,
going for 51 yards on 20 carries.
The Sioux defense had five sacks, three of
which from senior nose tackle Adam Wolff.
Notes: Trenbeath’s touchdown was the first
of his career ... It was the third 100-yard
receiving game for Dressler, who surpassed
1,000 career receiving yards.
UNI running back Corey Lewis scored on a
nine-yard touchdown run and the Panthers
converted the two-point attempt with 4:53
remaining in the game to take a 24-21 lead. It
was UNI’s first lead since kicking a 33-yard
field goal on the game’s first drive.
But the Sioux quickly answered with a sixplay, 80-yard march that was punctuated with
a 17-yard TD run by freshman running back
Ryan Chappell, his second of the game. With
2:31 remaining, UND had a 28-24 lead.
Northern Iowa, however, came charging back
one more time, marching to UND’s 20 yard
line in just four plays. With UND defensive
end Alex Cadwell all over him, UNI quarterback Eric Sanders hit receiver Johnny Gray
on a slant pattern, and just like that the
Panthers had the lead at 31-28 with just 1:27
to play.
After UNI’s ensuing kickoff went out of
bounds to give UND the ball at their own 35,
UND senior quarterback Reed Manke found
Dressler over the middle for a 20-yard gain at
the UNI 45. After a UND false start penalty,
Manke again connected with Dressler across
the middle, and the junior speedster outraced
several Panther defenders to the end zone.
The see-saw final moments were in stark
contrast to the first three quarters, during
which time UND was able to lead for most of
the game despite a distinct UNI advantage in
time of possession. The Panthers had the ball
for a total of 37:21, compared to just 22:39 for
the Sioux.
But UND was able to make enough plays on
both sides of the ball – and on special teams
– to pull out the victory.
Chappell led all rushers with 121 yards and
two scores on just nine carries, while Manke
added 60 yards and a touchdown on eight carries. Manke also completed 13-of-25 passes
for 207 yards and on touchdown.
Dressler finished with five catches for 96
yards.

Alerus Center – Grand Forks, N.D.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — A week after one
of the biggest wins in the University of North
Dakota football team’s history, there was no
letdown. There was no letup, either.
UND improves to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the
North Central Conference, while the Vikings
fall to 1-3 overall and 0-2 in league play.
The win comes one week after UND defeated
NCAA Division I-AA powerhouse Northern
Iowa in Ceder Falls, Iowa. This week, the
Sioux once again proved they are still one of
the best teams in Division II by beating a
Winona State team that was ranked No. 13 in
Division II coming into the game.
The Sioux had 10 sacks in the game. A
school-record-tying four sacks came at the
hands of senior defensive lineman Jared
Enger.
Sioux quarterback Reed Manke found
Weston Dressler, who sped 44 yards for a
touchdown. It was one of the many long passes for Manke, who went 20-of-27 for 294
yards. Manke also led the Sioux rushers, garnering 31 yards on four carriers.
The Sioux continued to roll in the second
quarter. Manke and Dressler connected for
two more touchdowns in the quarter. The first
one, a 14-yard reception, came with 10:26
remaining in the second quarter, while the
second came with 25 seconds remaining in
the half. That touchdown reception was for
three yards. Dressler ended with 109 yards on
nine receptions.
Manke also connected for a touchdown with
freshman wide receiver Brady Trenbeath in
the second quarter. The reception, an 87yarder, was also the longest touchdown pass
in school history. On second down on UND’s
own 13-yard line, Manke rolled right and
found Trenbeath streaking down the sideline
near midfield. Trenbeath caught it and outran
the defense into the end zone. Trenbeath
ended with five receptions for 108 yards.
In the fourth quarter, the defense also scored
some points. Brandon Jordan intercepted an
Aaron Boettcher pass and returned it 28 yards
for a touchdown.
Quarterback Danny Freund capped the scoring with a seven-yard run with 2:50 remaining in the game.
Notes: The Manke-Trenbeath touchdown
reception was UND’s longest pass play for a
score, however, it was not UND’s longestever passing play. On Sept. 28, 1985, Kurt
Otto connected with Tracy Martin for an 89-

Manke-Trenbeath touchdown was also the
longest pass play in six years at the Alerus
Center ... Manke’s first incomplete pass
came with 6:17 remaining in the second
quarter. One play later Manke threw his second incomplete pass, overthrowing Troy Ott
on a fake field goal attempt.
Western Washington put 10 points on the
board in the final 3:10 of the second quarter
on a Travis McKee 11-yard touchdown reception and a 32-yard Robby Smith field, and the
Vikings were 30 minutes from an upset and
their first NCC win, taking a 20-23 lead into
the break.
But the Sioux answered the bell on the opening drive of the second half, marching 68
yards on 11 plays and taking nearly six-and-ahalf minutes off the clock. Freshman running
back Ryan Chappell pulled UND even with a
one-yard touchdown run, finishing off a drive
in which he carried the ball eight times for 52
yards.
Chappell was the key figure on UND’s next
scoring drive as well, carrying five times for
33 yards to set up a 31-yard Brandon
Hellevang field goal with 28 seconds left in
the third quarter that gave the Sioux a 23-20
lead. It was the first field goal of Hellevang’s
career.
Hellevang and the Sioux added to the lead
early in the fourth quarter, when the freshman
booted a 44-yard with 10:12 remaining in the
game, giving UND a 26-20 lead it would not
relinquish.
Chappell finished with a career-high 140
yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries and
helped UND gain a 163-61 advantage in the
running game.
Senior quarterback Chris Belmore, making
his first start of the season in place of the
injured Reed Manke, completed 10-of-17
passes for 141 yards and one touchdown, a
42-yarder to Weston Dressler. Belmore was
also intercepted once.
WWU quarterback James Monrean was 20of-31 for 242 yards and one touchdown, but
was sacked four times, including a pair by
freshman linebacker Bobby Stroup.
UND returns to action next Saturday (Sep.
30) when it travels to Sioux Falls, S.D. for an
NCC tilt with Augustana. Kickoff is set for 1

Howard Wood Field – Sioux Falls, S.D.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D.—Senior Tom DeSautel
blocked a potential game-tying field goal in
overtime to give the fourth-ranked Fighting
Sioux a dramatic 24-21 win over Augustana
this afternoon at Howard Wood Field.
A week after holding Augustana scoreless on the goal
line in overtime, the Sioux defense held Minnesota
State without a touchdown on three separate trips
inside the UND two-yard line during Saturday’s
game at the Alerus Center. The defense was the
deciding factor as the Sioux beat the Mavericks 24-3
in front of 11,463.
The Sioux offense moved the ball well in the first
half, but was stopped by turnovers. Each drive ended
in either points or a turnover.
It was the second key blocked field goal for
the Sioux, who were able to preserve a 21-21
tie late in the fourth quarter when senior Will
Kusler blocked a Grossman 35-yard attempt
with 1:21 remaining in regulation.
The see-saw final moments of the fourth quarter and overtime were symbollic of the entire
second half. After the Sioux staked a 7-3 halftime lead, the two teams combined for 24
points in the third quarter.
UND led 21-13 midway through the fourth
quarter and was in position to add to the lead
with a 3rd-and-goal at the Viking six, but
Augie’s Dustin Rice intercepted Chris
Belmore at his own five and returned it 95
yards for a touchdown. Augustana’s two-point
attempt was successful and the game was
deadlocked at 21-21 with 8:10 remaining, setting the stage for the dizzying finish.
The Vikings jumped out to a quick start in the
opening quarter, taking their first possession
83 yards in 11 plays, culminating with a
Grossman 30-yard field goal.
UND’s offense had trouble getting on track in
the first period, as the Sioux managed just four
plays from scrimmage and were held without
a single first down. It wasn’t until 32 seconds
remained in the first half when UND finally
hit paydirt. Sophomore running back Brandon
Brady – on just his fourth carry of the season
– found the end zone from yard out to give the
Sioux the halftime lead.
Brady added another 1-yard score on the first
drive of the second half, and the Vikings
countered with a 19-yard field goal. The two
teams traded touchdowns late in the third
quarter, UND’s coming on a two-yard touchdown reception by tight end Troy Ott, the first
touchdown of his career.
Trailing 21-6, Augustana quarterback Tommy
Flyger led the Vikings 67 yards on five plays
before keeping it himself and scoring on a sixyard scamper that cut the UND lead to 21-13
after three quarters.
Belmore, making his second straight start,
completed 13-of-24 passes for 179 yards and
one touchdown. He was intercepted twice.
Flyger, meanwhile, was 18-of-35 for 262
October 7, 2006
GRAND FORKS, N.D.—The University of North
Dakota football team must really hate it when opponents make it into the end zone.
The 20-yard attempt by Augie kicker Ryan
Grossman came only after the Vikings had a
first-and-goal situation from inside UND’s
five yard line, but the Sioux defense held, setting up DeSautel’s heroics.
After Kusler’s block sent the game to extra
time, UND received the first possession from
Augie’s 25 and Brandon Hellevang kicked a
25-yard field goal for what proved to be the
winning points.

On its first possession of the game, UND moved the
ball methodically down the field and scored a touchdown. Chris Belmore went 4-for-4 on that drive, connecting for completions of 10, 11, one and eight
yards. Ryan Chappell rushed for three times in the
drive, crossing the goal line on his last one. On second-and-four from the eight yard line, Chappell

On the Maverick’s next possession, they drove the
ball all the way down to the one-yard line and came
away with zero points. The Mavericks had a thirdand-goal from the one, but Ernest Walker was
stopped for a loss of one yard. On fourth down,
Spencer’s 28-yarder was wide right with 11:46

UND added to its lead near the end of the quarter,
scoring their second touchdown with 3:12 remaining
in the half. Most of the yards on this drive were
accomplished on the ground, as the Sioux ran the ball
seven out of eight plays and used four different running backs.
Senior running back Chris Beatty started the drive
with a three-yard rush. Five plays later, Belmore connected with Brady Trenbeath for nine yards on
UND’s only pass play of the drive.
Then one play later, Chappell broke free and rushed
for 13 yards down to the six-line. Brandon Brady,
UND’s power back used near the goal line, punched
it into the end zone on the next play, putting UND up
14-3.
UND added to its lead moments before halftime.
Brandon Hellevang booted a 24-yard field goal as the

It was back-and-forth in the second half, as both

things open farther in the fourth quarter. Belmore
connected with Blair Grover for a three-yard touchdown strike. It was Grover’s first career touchdown.
That score was set up by a breakout run of Beatty on
a fake punt. On fourth-and-three from the 39-yard
line, Beatty busted through the line and scampered
for 36 yards. The touchdown happened on the next

Al Caniglia Field – Omaha,Neb.
OMAHA, Neb. — Despite a near-perfect
return to the lineup by senior quarterback
Reed Manke and a record performance by
receiver Weston Dressler, the fourth-ranked
Fighting Sioux were handed a 21-20 loss by
No. 12 Nebraska-Omaha this afternoon at
Caniglia Field.
But it was a six-yard scoring run by
Nebraska-Omaha quarterback Zach Miller
with 8:44 remaining that served as the decisive score. Miller’s touchdown answered a
27-yard field goal by UND’s Brandon
Hellevang on the previous possession that
had put the Sioux in front 20-14.
Miller and the Mavericks promptly marched
68 yards on six plays for the winning point.
UND actually held the nation’s top-ranked
rushing attacke to 212 yards on the ground,
more than 100 yards under UNO’s average
coming into the game.
Miller carried 15 times for 81 yards and two
scores, while senior running back Kyle
Kasperbauer, the NCC’s leading rusher, was
held to 119 yards on 27 carries (4.4 avg.).
The Mavericks’ winning drive was aided by
two critical plays. First, facing third-andseven from his own 35, Miller’s pass down
the seam went through the hands of a Sioux
defender and into the arms of UNO receiver
Troy Kush, who took the ball to UND’s 39.
On the following play, UND’s Rory Manke
was flagged for pass interference at the Sioux
goal line, giving the Mavericks a first down at
the 24. Two plays later Miller scored the decisive touchdown.
After a three-and-out by the Sioux, the
Mavericks took over with 7:15 remaining and
were able to chew up all but the final 16 seconds of regulation to preserve the win.
Sophomore running back Brandon Brady
scored UND’s only other touchdown, barreling over the goal line from one yard out in the
first quarter for his fourth score of the season.
Hellevang added a pair of field goals, connecting from 18 and 27 yards away.
In addition to his 81 yards and two TDs on
the ground, Miller completed seven of 13
passes for 131 yards and a 36-yard touchdown to Troy Kush, which came with 23 sec-

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Although they are
rare for the University of North Dakota football

The Sioux fired on every cylinder this afternoon at the Alerus Center. The offense racked
up 478 yards, while the defense created five
turnovers, as UND dominated Minnesota
Duluth 38-14 in front of a crowd of 8,009.
The win improves UNO to 4-0 in the North
Central Conference and 5-1 overall, while the
Sioux fall to 4-1 in NCC play and 6-1 overall.
Manke, who returned to the starting lineup
after a three-game absence, completed his
first 15 passes and finished 25-of-31 for 232
yards and a touchdown. He was also intercepted once. Dressler, meanwhile, tied a
school record with 15 receptions for a careerhigh 159 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

UND, which has not won in Omaha since
1995, is now off for a week before returning
to action at home against Minnesota Duluth
on Oct. 28.
Notes: Manke’s interception late in the first
half was his first since the fourth quarter at
Central Washington in the season opener on
Sept. 1. It was just the second time he had
been picked off all season, and just the fifth
in 307 career pass attempts ... Dressler’s 100yard receiving performance was his third of
the season and fifth of his career.
The Sioux also scored touchdowns on each of
their first four possessions. Chris Belmore and
Weston Dressler connected for touchdowns on
three separate occasions. The defense also provided some points. Rory Manke intercepted a
Ted Schlafke pass and returned 56 yards into
the end zone.
The Sioux methodically drove the ball down
the field on their first possession, setting a tone
for the rest of the game. UND drove 88 yards on
12 plays. Most of the work was done on the
ground with a combination of rushes from Ryan
Chappell, Chris Beatty and Belmore. However,
the biggest play on the drive came from
Belmore's arm. On a third-and-10 near midfield, Belmore found Lee Groeschl who scampered for 15 yards.
The drive was capped by the first Belmore-toDressler touchdown. That touchdown pass was
Belmore’s 40th of his career, a mark that only
five other quarterbacks have achieved.
After Duluth’s Brett Baumann missed a 45yard field goal, the Sioux responded again.
Belmore connected with Dressler for 51 yards.
This time it wasn’t for a score, but set up a
Chappell five-yard rushing touchdown.
Chappell ended the game with 71 yards.
Then the defense took over. Manke intercepted
Schlafke for his score, and then the Sioux
defense set up the offense for two more touchdowns.
The Bulldogs were stopped on 4th-and-8 on the
UND 34-yard line. Schlafke, who was hurried
by Zachariah Babington-Johnson, tried to find
Tony Doherty on a long pass up the middle.
However, the pass was deflected on an athletic
play from Donovan Alexander. One play later
the Belmore connected with Dressler for a 66yard score.
On Duluth’s next possession, Tom DeSautel
picked off another Schlafke pass. One play later
Belmore connected with Dressler for a 41-yard
touchdown.
Despite giving up two second half touchdowns,
the Sioux defense was dominant throughout the

the Sioux defense ended with two sacks and 12
quarterback hurries. The Sioux also picked off
four Schlafke passes and recovered one fumble.
The Sioux ended with 271 yards rushing.
Brandon Strouth led the way with 113 yards. It

Husky Stadium – St. Cloud, Minn.
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — UND’s North Central
Conference title hopes are alive and well after a
34-27 overtime victory over St. Cloud State this
afternoon at Husky Stadium. The win, coupled
with South Dakoa’s victory over NebraskaOmaha, pulls the Sioux into a first-place tie with
USD and UNO heading into next Saturday’s regular season finale against South Dakota.
The two biggest plays came from a familiar
connection. UND quarterback Reed Manke
and Weston Dressler connected for two
touchdown passes in the second quarter.
UND found itself trailing 27-24 midway through
the quarter, with St. Cloud State’s Jon Gutierrez
lining up for a 35-yard field goal that would have
made it a two-possession game. However, UND’s
Adam Wolff blocked the kick to keep the deficit at
just three points with 9:18 left in regulation.
After the Sioux defense forced a three-and-out on
the next series, Hellevang had a chance to win the
game, but his 48-yard attempt into the wind on the
final play of regulation was wide left.
The Huskies won the overtime coin toss and elected to put the Sioux on offense, but UND found the
end zone on just two plays, back-to-back runs by
Chappell covering 11 and 14 yards.
It was Chappell who also opened the scoring on
this afternoon, in a see-saw first half that surprisingly saw 41 points put on the scoreboard despite
a matchup of two of the top defenses in the NCC.
Chappell’s 11-yard scoring run was the exclamation point on UND’s opening drive, givng the
Sioux an early 7-0 lead.
The first score came from the legs of Dressler
after the catch. Manke found Dressler open at
midfield near the South Dakota 15-yard line.
Dressler then outran the defense and somersaulted over the goal line. That score gave the
Sioux a 17-13 lead, which the Sioux never
lost from there.

November 11, 2006
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — The University of
North Dakota football team captured a share
of the North Central Conference championship on Saturday afternoon at the Alerus
Center. The Sioux beat South Dakota 33-26
in front of 9,078 fans, clinching their second
straight title.
Ryan Chappell’s 14-yard touchdown run on the
second play of overtime was the winning score and
capped another late-game rally for the Fighting
Sioux.
The Sioux took over at their own 20 and promptly
put together a 15-play, 66-yard march to set up a
game-tying 31-yard field goal by freshman kicker
Brandon Hellevang with 1:40 remaining.
(15) South Dakota 26
(8) UND 33
Notes: Chappell now has 782 rushing yards on the
season, the second-highest total by a freshman in
Fighting Sioux history. He needs just 64 yards to
break Phillip Moore’s UND record for regular
season rushing yards by a freshman (846) and 140
yards to break his overall freshman rushing record
(921).
The second score was a great pass from
Manke. On a third-and-10 from the 23-yard
line, Dressler, who ended the day with five
catches for 84 yards, somehow snuck behind
the defensive back in the middle of the end
zone and was open. Manke’s pass was perfect. That score gave the Sioux a 24-16 lead
and enough breathing room heading into the
locker room.
South Dakota did kick a field goal to pull
within 24-19 on its first drive of the second
half. However, UND answered immediately.
On a third-and-fourth, Manke rolled right and
lofted the ball downfield to Lee Groeschl for
a 56-yard completion. One play later Ryan
Chappell, who ended the game with 57 yards,
pushed through the line of scrimmage for a
nine-yard touchdown. That score gave the
Sioux a 30-19 lead with 3:55 remaining in the
third quarter.
On UND’s first drive of the game, Manke
connected with Blair Grover for a 20-yard
touchdown reception. That score was set up
by a 68-yard opening kickoff return to the
South Dakota 32-yard line.
USD led 13-10 at one point. Noah Shepard
found some open running room after a play
broke down and ran 22 yards for a touchdown. Frank Leibrarth’s point after attempt
was blocked. On UND’s next possession,
however, Manke and Dressler connected for
their first touchdown.
South Dakota tied it 7-7 with 10:17 remaining in the first quarter, but UND answered on
its next possession. Brandon Hellevang connected on a 44-yard field goal.

Al Caniglia Field – Omaha, Neb.
~NCAA Division II Playoffs – 2nd Round~
~NCAA Division II Playoffs – 1st Round~
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Today was Ryan
Chappell’s day. 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.
OMAHA, Neb. — Freshman kicker Brandon
Hellevang booted a 26-yard field goal with 2:45
remaining and the Sioux defense held NebraskaOmaha to -8 yards on its final offensive possession as
UND defeated the Mavericks 38-35 this afternoon in
NCAA second round action.
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 24yard line, Chappell rushed for 16 yards.
Manke connected with Chappell for a oneyard 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.
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
84
UND now advances to the NCAA Division II quarterfinals, where it will take to the road next Saturday
to face defending national champion Grand Valley
State.
UND’s defensive stand that set up Hellevang’s gamewinning kick came after UNO’s offense scored
touchdowns on five of its six full possessions through
three quarters. The Mavericks were driving agai midway through the fourth quarter until Sioux defenisve
back Rory Manke 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 dashed his way 66 yards into
Maverick territory. UND capped off the opening
drive with a Manke-to-Blair Grover two-yard touchdown.
But as the would throughout the day, NebraskaOmaha came right back with an answer to UND’s
points. Miller scored his first of four rushing touchdowns on the day, running off tackle right for a oneyad touchdown on the very next series. UND’s Will
Kusler blocked the extra point attempt and the Sioux
held a 7-6 lead.

did. UND moved the ball 80 yards on nine plays, the
last 39 of which were covered by a Manke-to-Brady
Trenbeath pass and run over the middle and UND
regained the lead at 21-20.
Notes: 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 a
UND freshman record ... Chappell also
became the first Sioux freshman to rush for
over 1,000 yards in a season ... UND is now
9-0 in postseason games at the Alerus Center.
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.

Lubbers Stadium – Allendale, Mich.
~NCAA Division II Playoffs – Quarterfinals~
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.
Grand Valley State now advances to the national
semifinal round against either Delta State or
North Alabama in search of a second straight
NCAA title. UND’s season ends at 11-2.

UND FOOTBALL TRADITIONS
000UUU
Memorial Stadium
The 10,000-seat UND Memorial
Stadium served as home to UND football
home games from 1927 to 2000. The stadium boasts a rich and colorful history.
UND posted a 247-88-9 record (.731)
in 72 seasons at Memorial Stadium, but
lost the first and last games it played
there. In the first game at the stadium
(Oct. 8, 1927), UND lost, 7-0, to
Creighton, and in the last game there
(Oct. 28, 2000), the Sioux lost, 35-23, to
Augustana.
The stadium still serves as home of the
Fighting Sioux football offices and practice field along with training, weight, equipment and locker rooms. Built
in 1927 as a memorial to members of the University of North Dakota
community who died during World War I, the facility was one of the
first examples of the Late Gothic Revival architectural design on cam- Year
1916
pus. “Turrets” at the ends of the grandstands and the solid massing 1917

EARLY FOOTBALL BEGINNINGS
000UUU
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.
124
One of the first UND football teams
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 HeraldTribune 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.

TRADITIONS
Potato Bowl USA
The Potato Bowl USA is a weeklong festival teaming the
University of North Dakota and the Red River Valley potato growing industry. It features a Queen’s Pageant, softball tournament,
golf tournament, bed races, pep rally and bonfire, service club
breakfast, parade, road race, casino night and football game featuring the University of North Dakota. The week’s activities are
arranged by the Potato Bowl Committee, a group of Greater Grand
Forks volunteers.
The Potato Bowl USA was created in 1965 by then UND
Athletic Director Leonard R. “Len” Marti, head football Coach
Marv “Whitey” Helling, assistant football coach Jerry Olson and
sports information director Lee Bohnet. The first Potato Bowl
USA was played in 1966, when the Fighting Sioux shut out Idaho
State 41-0 in a battle for pride among potato growing regions.
North Dakota is 30-11 in Potato Bowl USA history.

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.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo. – UND forced eight Northern
Illinois turnovers while committing none enroute to beating
the Huskies, 37-20, in the 17th annual Mineral Water Bowl.
The Huskies gave away three fumbles and had five
passes intercepted in finishing its season with a 9-1 record.
UND also wound up the year with a 9-1 mark.
UND scored on its first possession on a 1-yard run by
junior quarterback Corey Colehour and were never seriously threatened by the sixth-ranked Huskies.
Sioux cornerback Stan Wright got things started
when he returned the opening kickoff 65 yards to the
Northern Illinois 30-yard line. Four plays later Colehour
punched it in and Errol Mann’s extra point made it 7-0 just
3:06 into the game.
Northern Illinois successfully executed a 90-yard
halfback option pass on its second play from scrimmage
that went for a touchdown by Gerry Sandberg. The Huskies’ extra point attempt was wide,
however, and UND led 7-6.
The teams traded two more touchdowns
in the first half, and UND led 21-20 at halftime.

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, fanpleasing 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

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – More than 17,000 fans were on
hand to see North Dakota defeat Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo,
38-21, in the 12th annual Camellia Bowl in a game that
decided the NCAA West College Football championship.
The win was the 10th of the season for the Sioux, setting a school record.
UND finished the year with a 101 mark, while Cal Poly finished 8-1-1.
UND shut down a Cal Poly running game that was
averaging 227 yards per game, limiting the Mustangs to just
63 rushing yards on 33 attempts.
Meanwhile the Sioux ran for 266 yards on 70
attempts, led by senior Mike Deutsch’s 119 yards on 41 carries.
North Dakota took a 3-0 lead 4:30 into the game on
a 36-yard field goal by Jim Gronowski and made it 10-0
when Jay Gustafson connected with tight end Lawrie
Skolrood on a 13-yard touchdown pass with 2:40 left in the first quarter.
UND was leading 17-0 in the second quarter when Cal Poly defensive tackle Dave
Quirk intercepted a pass and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown. That made it 17-7 at halftime.

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.

PITTSBURG, Kan. – Pitt State running back Ronald Moore
ran for 100 yards on 29 carries and scored three touchdowns
– two in the second half – to lead the No. 1-ranked Gorillas
to a 26-21 comeback win over 13th-ranked North Dakota in
the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs.
It was the third consecutive playoff defeat for North
Dakota, which finished the 1992 season with a 6-4-1 overall record.
It was the 23rd consecutive win for Pitt State, the
defending national champion. The Gorillas raised their
record to 12-0 with the win and went on to win two more
playoff games before losing, 17-13, to Jacksonville State in
the NCAA Division II championship game in Florence,
Ala.
Moore gave the Gorillas a 6-0 lead and the extra point
by Jeff Wood made it 7-0 with 9:46 to play in the first quarter after an eight-play, 48-yard drive.

Quarterfinals, NCAA Division II Playoffs – Nov. 27, 1993
GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND’s Darcy Dahlem kicked a
31-yard field goal with 6:36 to play to lift the Fighting
Sioux to a 17-14 win over Pittsburg State in the first round
of the NCAA Division II playoffs.
The win sent UND (9-2) into the second round of the
playoffs against North Central Conference co-champion
Mankato State (10-2), which defeated Missouri Southern,
34-13, in the first round. Pittsburg State ended its season
with an 8-3 overall record.
The game was a rematch of the 1992 NCAA Division
II playoff game that saw Pittsburg State defeat UND, 26-21,
in Pittsburg, Kan.
Dahlem’s kick was the 11th play in a 57-yard drive.
On the winning drive, UND running back Shannon Burnell
ran three times for 21 yards, but the biggest play was a 12yard sideline pass from Sioux quarterback K.J. Coghlan to
Aaron Schramm on which UND was given an additional five yards because of a Pitt State
facemask penalty. That gave UND a first down on the Gorillas’ 23-yard line. After the drive
stalled at the PSU 13-yard line, Dahlem made
his 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 gametime temperature just 15 degrees, but both teams’ offenses were hot. The Sioux racked up 481 total offensive
yards, while the Mavericks tallied 373 yards of their own
in total offense.
Another factor in the game was turnovers, with
Mankato State committing seven to just one by UND.
The win advanced North Dakota (10-2) to the
NCAA semifinals against Indiana (Pa.) (12-0).
The Sioux jumped out to a 21-0 lead on Mankato
State and led 41-7 after three quarters to all but clinch the
victory. Both teams scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
UND started fast, scoring on its opening drive on a 29-yard screen pass from Wagner
to running back Shannon Burnell.

INDIANA, Pa. – UND’s 1993 playoff run came to an end
on a muddy field in Indiana, Pa., as fourth-ranked IUP
opened up a 21-0 lead and did not allow the Sioux to get on
the scoreboard until there were just 24 seconds remaining in
the game.
Like the Sioux did a week earlier against Mankato
State, IUP dominated the time of possession, holding the
ball for 36:46 to UND’s 23:14. The Indians ran 72 offensive
plays to just 52 for the Sioux.
IUP raised its record to 13-0 and advanced to the
national championship game the following week in
Florence, Ala., where the Indians lost to North Alabama.
UND ended its season with a 10-3 record.
IUP got all the points it needed on the opening drive
of the game, when running back Michael Mann, a Harlon
Hill Award finalist, scored on a four-yard run to cap a 12play drive. Mann carried seven times for 28 yards on the drive. Indians’ kicker Michael Geary
kicked the extra point to make it 7-0 with 9:27 to play in the quarter.

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 NebraskaKearney. It was Pitt State’s worst loss since Sept. 14, 1984,
when the Gorillas lost, 62-14, at Missouri-Rolla.
It was UND’s first shutout of the season and firstever postseason shutout in 17 postseason games, and it was
the largest-ever margin of victory for the Sioux in the postseason, surpassing UND’s 33-point win over MSU,
Mankato in 1993.
UND got its first score with 21 seconds to play in the first quarter when Kelby
Klosterman connected with wide receiver Dan
Graf on a 16-yard fade pass in the end zone to
cap off a seven-play, 85-yard drive.

Klosterman threw two touchdown passes to Dan Graf, and
Sioux running back Jed Perkerewicz rushed for 101 yards

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

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 ballcontrol 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

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.

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

UND won the coin toss and elected to receive the opening kickoff. The

“The Drive”
by Chuck Johnson
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

reception with less than one minute to play in the national title game.

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.”

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.
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.
Adam Roland got the Sioux on the board first after a 10yard 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.
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.
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 AllMIAA 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 30yardline. PSU was able to force a three-andout on the Sioux drive, giving one last opportunity for the Gorillas to inch closer.

Braly Municipal Stadium – Florence, Ala.
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.
FLORENCE, Ala. – Despite outgaining Grand
Valley State by 125 yards in the second half, North
Dakota fell to the Lakers 10-3 Saturday in the
Division II national championship game.
Quarterback John Bowenkamp led the Sioux on
two 60 yard drives late in the game, but UND
could only come away with three points on a 43yard Jeff Glas field goal. The junior quarterback
completed 28-of-41 passes for 281 yards, while
receivers Willis Stattleman and Caleb Johnson collected eight and seven catches respectively.
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.
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.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — University of North Dakota junior place kicker Jeff Glas booted a 32-yard field goal in the
second overtime to give UND a 20-17 win over St. Cloud
State University in a first round game of the NCAA
Division II football playoffs Saturday afternoon at Husky
Stadium.
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.
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.
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.
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

followed by an incomplete pass, and a Kaczor six-yard run to the UND 24. SCSU kicker
Shawn Braunagel’s 41 yard field goal attempt missed wide left. On North Dakota’s possession, sophomore quarterback Chris Belmore completed a seven yard pass to David Wisthoff
to the SCSU 16. UND set up once again for a field goal and this time, after only one SCSU
timeout, Glas kicked a 32-yard field goal and UND won 20-17 in double overtime.
St. Cloud State’s Matt Birkel, a Harlon Hill Candidate, finished the game with 33 carries for
101 yards. Kaczor completed 16 of 38 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns and Ryan
Koch caught five passes for 52 yards and both TDs.

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.

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.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Chris Belmore’s twoyard run with just under five minutes remaining
powered the University of North Dakota past Grand

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.
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.
The Gorillas (14-0) advance to the 2004 NCAA Division II

Pitt State returns to the championship game for the first time
since 1995 and the fourth time in school history (1991-92, '95).
After Brandon Langston gave the Lakers a ninepoint lead with a 76-yard touchdown reception,
Belmore led the Sioux on a four-play, 68-yard
touchdown drive to bring the Sioux to within 15-12.
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-andeight 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.
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

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.
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, 1410, 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 gameclinching 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.

Minnesota Duluth 12
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 100 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.
Schlafke finished 34-of-64 for 295 yards and one
touchdown. He was intercepted twice, sacked five
times and hurried 13 times. UMD receivers Vinny
Flury and Tony Doherty each caught nine passes,
Flury for 88 yards and Doherty for 84. The Bulldogs
were held to -13 rushing yards on 15 attempts.
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.

Second Round, NCAA Division II Playoffs – Nov. 19, 2005
Lubbers Stadium – Allendale, Mich.
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.
Kicker Jeff Glas, who graduated in 2005, set five Division II and 12
UND kicking records.
The Lakers marched into UND territory on the ensuing drive, but a low snap prevented GVSU
kicker Scott Greene from getting a 35-yard field goal attempt away and UND took over with
the game still scoreless.
Neither team was able to sustain any kind of scoring drive the rest of the quarter, one which
featured just three first downs and 94 combined yards of total offense.
Manke finished 26-of-41 for 268 yards, connecting with senior receiver Dan Grossman 12
times for 117 yards. Those 12 catches allowed Grossman to surpass Dan Graf as the team’s alltime receptions leader with 159. Brady finished as the game’s top rusher with 47 yards on 11
carries.
The Sioux held the Lakers, who had been averaging 225 rushing yards per game, to just 41
yards on 37 carries.
Notes: Anderson made four solo tackles (14 total), giving him 229 in his career, the fourthmost in Division II history ... Glas’ field goal gave him 420 career points, the second-highest
total by a kicker in college football history (all divisions). Glas set five Division II and 12 UND
records this season ... Sophomore receiver Weston Dressler set a UND single-season record
with 1,915 all-purpose yards. Former running back Shannon Burnell previously held the mark
of 1,861 yards, which he set in 1993.
UND’s three points were the fewest by a Sioux team since being shut out 35-0 at South
Dakota on Oct. 21, 1995. Yet the Sioux appeared to be in good shape to score first after a
strong defensive stand on the game’s opening possession, after 15-yard Grand Valley State
punt gave UND the ball on the Lakers’ 36-yard line. But UND running back Chris Beatty
coughed up the ball on the first play from scrimmage and GVSU’s Joe Ballard recovered.

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 two full-time assistant coaches and
two graduate assistant coaches to assist him. Together they direct and
monitor the training of over 500 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 Fighting Sioux have locker rooms in both Memorial
Stadium (right) and the Alerus Center (below). Each provides
locker room space for more than 100 players.

LINEBACKER ANDY DAHLEN & THE 1979 FOOTBALL TEAM
The 1979 University of North Dakota Football Team
The 2007 UND Athletic Hall of Fame inductions include one of
the great football teams in UND history – the 1979 Fighting Sioux
squad. The 1979 team becomes the eighth UND football team to
be inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame, joining the 1928,
1930, 1958, 1964, 1966, 1972 and 1975 squads among the 22
UND athletic teams in the Hall of Fame.
Former Sioux linebacker Andy Dahlen will be the newest individual football inductee. He will be the 96th former UND football
player or coach to be inducted. Dahlen and the 1979 team will be
inducted on Sept. 15, 2007, during a Hall of Fame banquet at the
Alerus Center in Grand Forks, N.D.
1979 FOOTBALL TEAM HIGHLIGHTS
*Voelker, Muckenhirn and Friederichs were named to the AllNCC first team, and were joined by punter Tom Biolo, linebacker
Andy Dahlen, center Doug Moen, guard Mark Soderquist and
offensive tackle Todd Thomas.
*Markham, Muckenhirn, Dave Jensen and Terry Kadrmas
served as team captains.
*Muckenhirn, Thomas, Friederichs, Dahlen, Voelker, Biolo and

and defensive lineman Stan Mikawos, would go on to enjoy
lengthy careers in the Canadian Football League.
*The Fighting Sioux defense recorded four shutouts – all in the
first five games of the season – setting a modern-day team record
that still stands.

2007 HALL OF FAME
000UUU
ANDY DAHLEN
LINEBACKER, 1977-80
One of the trademarks of Figthing
Sioux football is the long line of standout linebackers who have donned the
Kelly Green and White. One of the
greatest to ever play the position at
UND is 2007 Hall of Fame inductee
Andy Dahlen.
A four-year letterwinner from 1977-80, Dahlen graduated
as UND’s all-time leader in solo tackles, assisted tackles
and total tackles and his 182 career regular season tackles
stand as a team record today. In fact, Dahlen led UND in
tackles in each of his last three seasons.
As a junior, Dahlen anchored a defense that recorded a
school-record four shutouts and won a North Central
Conference championship in 1979, a season in which he set
UND single-season records for solo tackles (54) and total
tackles (140). Dahlen was named to the All-NCC first team
following the 1979 season.
In 1980, his senior season, Dahlen was named one of four
team captains and enjoyed another standout season, highlighted by being named an All-America honorable mention
by the Associated Press. Dahlen once again led the team in
solo tackles (48) and total tackles (114) and was named to
his second consecutive All-NCC first team.
2007 UND Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Andy Dahlen
A standout in the classroom as well, Dahlen was also
named to the Academic All-NCC team as a senior.
In 1994 Dahlen was one of six linebackers named to
UND’s All-Century Football Team.
Dahlen’s contributions to Fighting Sioux football, however,
did not end with his graduation. Dahlen’s son, Andy, would
grow up to play for UND as a standout linebacker from
2002-05, earning first team All-NCC honors as a senior.
A dual inductee to UND’s Athletic Hall of Fame this year,
Andy Dahlen will also be enshrined with his 1979 teammates in the team category.
