HEAD COACH<br />
Grand Valley State head coach Chuck Martin is set to embark<br />
on his third year as the leader <strong>of</strong> the winningest DII football program<br />
in the country. All Martin did his first two years was lead the<br />
Lakers to 23 wins, a DII National Championship, a 13-game winning<br />
streak and a GLIAC title. The National Championship, the<br />
Lakers’ 13-game winning streak and the GLIAC title all came in<br />
the 2005 campaign. Chuck was named the American <strong>Football</strong><br />
Coaches Association DII Coach <strong>of</strong> the Year for his efforts during<br />
the 2005 season. Martin, who was an assistant coach for three years<br />
prior to becoming the sixth head coach in Laker football history,<br />
was named to the head coaching post on December 31, 2003 by<br />
GVSU Director <strong>of</strong> Athletics Tim Selgo. GVSU is 23-3 with Martin<br />
as the head coach and 71-9 with him on the coaching staff since<br />
2000.<br />
Martin guided GVSU to its second perfect record for an entire<br />
season and its fourth perfect regular in his second season at the<br />
helm. Grand Valley State ranked among the top 25 in nine different<br />
team statistical categories, including five among the nations top<br />
seven. 11 <strong>of</strong> GVSU’s 13 opponents were held to 17 points or less<br />
and seven scored 10 points or fewer. The Lakers held their opponents<br />
<strong>of</strong>f the scoreboard in 25 <strong>of</strong> 52 quarters during the season.<br />
Conversely, the Laker <strong>of</strong>fense broke the 30-point mark eight times<br />
and outscored their opponents 434-159. GVSU scored points in 44<br />
<strong>of</strong> 52 quarters played during the season. 18 Lakers earned All-<br />
GLIAC plaudits, including nine that earned All-GLIAC First-Team<br />
honors. Eight 2005 squad members also earned all-america plaudits,<br />
including two (Mike McFadden and Josh Bourke) that were<br />
consensus all-americans.<br />
GVSU opened the 2005 season with an impressive 30-10 win<br />
over West Michigan rival Ferris State before a GVSU single-game<br />
record crowd <strong>of</strong> 14,557. GVSU moved into the number one spot in<br />
the AFCA coaches poll following a 14-10 comeback win over<br />
Ashland in week four. The victory over the Eagles sparked a<br />
momentum change and the Lakers rolled through the rest <strong>of</strong> regular<br />
season. GVSU claimed a 31-10 victory over #4 Saginaw Valley<br />
State in week seven and a 30-14 win over #5 Northwood in week<br />
eight. Martin guided the Lakers to four more impressive wins over<br />
ranked opponents in the play<strong>of</strong>fs, including a 21-17 victory over<br />
Northwest Missouri State in the title game.<br />
In addition to his 23-3 overall mark, Martin is 6-1 in NCAA DII<br />
play<strong>of</strong>f action. In just two years, 30 players have earned All-<br />
GLIAC honors and 11 have received all-america plaudits.<br />
Martin guided Grand Valley State to a 10-3 mark and a berth in<br />
the NCAA DII play<strong>of</strong>f in his first season at the helm. The 10 wins<br />
posted by GVSU under Martin were the most for any first-year<br />
head coach in the history <strong>of</strong> Laker football.<br />

Martin’s first head coaching victory came in the season opener<br />
against GLIAC and West Michigan rival Ferris State by a 24-6<br />
score. GVSU followed with five more victories and continued to<br />
hold onto the top ranking in the AFCA poll. Following a pair <strong>of</strong> setbacks<br />
to nationally-ranked teams, the Lakers concluded the regular<br />
season with a pair <strong>of</strong> wins, including a 24-7 victory over fourthranked<br />
Michigan Tech in front <strong>of</strong> over 50,000 at Michigan<br />
Stadium.<br />
Grand Valley State advanced to the NCAA DII Play<strong>of</strong>fs for the<br />
fourth straight year and claimed a 16-13 comeback win at 8thranked<br />
Winona State in first-round action. GVSU followed with a<br />
10-7 victory over Northwood in a second-round contest. The win<br />
over the Timberwolves avenged a Laker loss to NU earlier in the<br />
season and advanced GVSU to the NCAA DII Quarterfinals for the<br />
fourth straight year. GVSU dropped its quarterfinal matchup at<br />
North Dakota by a 19-15 score. The Lakers, who finished the 2004<br />
season ranked ninth in the country, placed 12 members<br />
on the All-GLIAC squad.<br />
Prior to being named head coach, Martin was an<br />
assistant coach at GVSU for four years. Chuck was the<br />
defensive coordinator in the Lakers’ 2003 National<br />
Championship season. Grand Valley State rode its<br />
defense to the 2003 NCAA DII <strong>Football</strong> National<br />
Championship, holding its final three opponents in the<br />
play<strong>of</strong>fs to just three field goals. Grand Valley State<br />
ranked in the top 10 nationally in four defensive categories<br />
in 2003, including a national-best, rushing<br />
defense that yielded just 64.9 yards per game. In addition,<br />
GVSU led the nation in turnovers forced (43) and<br />
total turnover margin (+21). Grand Valley State ranked<br />
third in scoring defense (13.3 ppg) and 19th in pass efficiency<br />
defense (100.3). The Lakers ranked first in the<br />
GLIAC in four defensive categories and second in two.<br />
Martin was a key figure in the progression <strong>of</strong> the<br />
GVSU defense during his time as an assistant. Under his leadership,<br />
the defensive backfield earned 10 All-GLIAC honors in four<br />
years, including safety Scott Mackey being named the GLIAC<br />
Defensive Back <strong>of</strong> the Year and a First-Team All-American in 2002<br />
and 2003. The Laker defensive backfield picked <strong>of</strong>f 84 passes the<br />
four years prior to him becoming head coach, including a GVSU<br />
single-season record 26 in both 2001 and 2003. Grand Valley State<br />

The 37-year-old Martin began his coaching career at Mankato<br />
State in 1992 while finishing his master’s degree. After a one-year<br />
stint with the Mavericks, Martin moved on to Wittenberg<br />
University in Springfield, Ohio. At Wittenberg, Martin coached the<br />
linebackers in football and served as the head golf coach and assistant<br />
baseball coach for two years. Chuck moved on to become the<br />
defensive coordinator/defensive backs coach at his alma mater,<br />
Millikin University, for two years before taking over the linebackers<br />
at Eastern Michigan in 1998. Martin coached the linebackers at<br />
EMU for two years prior to his arrival at GVSU<br />
Martin was a standout athlete at Millikin University, earning<br />
All-American honors as a free safety, as well as GTE Academic<br />
All-American plaudits. In addition, Martin was an all-conference<br />
place-kicker. Chuck was also a standout on the hardwood for<br />
Millikin, earning academic all-district honors. Martin graduated<br />
from Millikin in 1990 with a degree in accounting.<br />
Chuck is a native <strong>of</strong> Park Forest, Illinois, and graduated from<br />

COACHES<br />
Todd Kolster enters his sixth year on the Grand Valley State football<br />
coaching staff and his fourth as a full-time coach. Kolster is in his third year<br />
as the <strong>of</strong>fensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach.<br />
Kolster’s <strong>of</strong>fensive unit in 2005 was one <strong>of</strong> the most balanced in DII football<br />
as GVSU was one <strong>of</strong> five teams in the country to average better than<br />
210 yards per game rushing (211.4) and 220 yards per game passing<br />
(220.3). GVSU averaged 431.7 yards per game <strong>of</strong> total <strong>of</strong>fense and 6.2<br />
yards per play. The Lakers averaged 33.4 points per game and scored in 44<br />
-<strong>of</strong>-52 quarters played. Grand Valley State has ranked among the GLIAC<br />
leaders in every <strong>of</strong>fensive category during Kolster’s tenure as <strong>of</strong>fensive<br />
coordinator. Kolster’s <strong>of</strong>fense has featured the ability to grind it out or score<br />
via the big play.<br />
In addition to balance <strong>of</strong>fensively, Kolster is a stickler for hanging onto<br />
the ball. GVSU turned the ball over just 18 times (6 INT/12 lost fumbles)<br />
in 903 <strong>of</strong>fensive plays a year ago and have just 36 turnovers in over 1,800<br />
plays the last two years. Seven <strong>of</strong>fensive performers earned All-GLIAC<br />
plaudits in 2005 and 13 have been named All-GLIAC in his two years guiding<br />
the <strong>of</strong>fense.<br />
Todd tutored the Laker running backs from 2001-2003 and played a key<br />
role in a running game that averaged over 220 yards rushing per game for<br />
three straight years. Kolster guided All-American and Harlon Hill<br />
Candidate Michael Tennessee, who rushed for a GVSU single-season<br />
record 1,633 yards and 16 TDs on 342 carries in 2003. Tennessee set the<br />
GVSU single-game (49) and single-season (342) rushing attempts record<br />
and finished his career as the all-time leading rusher in Laker football history<br />
(3,525). In 2002, Kolster coached Reggie Spearmon, the second alltime<br />
leading rusher in GVSU history, and Brent Lesniak, the fourth all-time<br />
leading rusher in Laker history. Spearmon earned All-GLIAC and All-<br />
American honors, while Lesniak was a two-time All-GLIAC selection.<br />
Kolster has mentored three <strong>of</strong> the top four career rushers in GVSU football<br />
history.<br />
Prior to joining the GVSU staff, Kolster was the defensive coordinator at<br />
East Grand Rapids for one year. Todd was the defensive line coach at his<br />
alma mater, Hope <strong>College</strong>, for three years.<br />
Kolster played four years <strong>of</strong> football on the defensive line for Hope<br />
<strong>College</strong>. He graduated from Hope with a degree in Physical<br />
Education/Kinesiology-Communications and received his Master’s in<br />
Adult and Higher Education from Grand Valley State.<br />
Matt Pawlowski is set for his third year as the defensive coordinator at Grand<br />
Valley State. Pawlowski has guided one <strong>of</strong> the top defenses in the country the last two<br />
years. Under Pawlowski, the Lakers are yielding 268.2 total yards per game, 92.4<br />
rushing yards, an 89.1 pass efficiency rating and 13.1 points per game. GVSU has<br />
held its opponents to 10 points or less in 14-<strong>of</strong>-26 games during Pawlowski’s tenure<br />
as defensive coordinator.<br />
Pawlowski’s 2005 unit held the Lakers’ opponents <strong>of</strong>f the scoreboard in 25-<strong>of</strong>-52<br />
quarters played. The Lakers led the nation in pass efficiency defense (83.6), ranked<br />
third in scoring defense (12.2), ranked fifth in total defense (254.6) and ranked seventh<br />
in rushing defense (88.3). The GVSU defense held 9-<strong>of</strong>-13 foes under the 100yard<br />
rushing mark in 2005 and Pawlowski’s defensive unit has held 16-<strong>of</strong>-26 opponents<br />
under the 100-yard rushing mark the last two years. The Lakers held 7-<strong>of</strong>-13<br />
opponents to 10 points or less last season. Six GVSU defenders earned All-GLIAC<br />
honors, including three first-team honorees. DL Mike McFadden earned the Gene<br />
Upshaw Award as the top lineman in DII football and he became the second straight<br />
Laker to earn the GLIAC Defensive Lineman <strong>of</strong> the Year Award (Keyonta Marshall<br />
2003-2004).<br />
Pawlowski continued the dominance <strong>of</strong> Laker defenses in his first year at the helm.<br />
GVSU held six teams to seven points or less with one shutout (34-0 at Wayne State).<br />
The Lakers held Wayne State to a GLIAC record three first downs and GVSU set<br />
school and single-game defensive records for fewest first downs allowed (3), fewest<br />
yards <strong>of</strong> total <strong>of</strong>fense allowed (69), fewest yards <strong>of</strong> total <strong>of</strong>fense allowed in first half<br />
(21), fewest yards <strong>of</strong> total <strong>of</strong>fense allowed in second half (48), fewest rushing first<br />
downs allowed (2), fewest passing first downs allowed (1), fewest yards per play by<br />
an opponent (1.4), and fewest plays by an opponent (48) vs. Wayne State. Several<br />
players earned individual honors, including DT Keyonta Marshall being named<br />
GLIAC Defensive Lineman <strong>of</strong> the Year and Lucius Hawkins earning the GLIAC<br />
Defensive Back <strong>of</strong> the Year honor.<br />
Pawlowski arrived at GVSU after spending one year as the defensive coordinator<br />
at Ashland University. Ashland ranked in the top five <strong>of</strong> six different GLIAC defensive<br />
categories, including four <strong>of</strong> which the Eagles ranked second.<br />
Prior to Ashland, Pawlowski was the defensive coordinator at Marietta <strong>College</strong><br />
(2001-02), the O-line and D-line coach at Stow (Ohio) High School and the linebacker<br />
coach at Eastern Michigan (1999-2000). Pawlowski built a nationally-ranked<br />
defense in his 14 years (1985-99) at St. Cloud State University. The Huskies led the<br />
North Central Conference in total defense five times and ranked second once from<br />
1987-92. Six times during his tenure St. Cloud State ranked among the nation's top<br />
10 in defense. Pawlowski coached the defensive MVP in the North Central<br />
Conference three times while at SCSU.<br />
Pawlowski has worked on the defensive side <strong>of</strong> the ball for most <strong>of</strong> his career, but<br />
he's been involved in just about every aspect <strong>of</strong> coaching. In addition to the above<br />
mentioned schools, Pawlowski spent five years at Ohio University (1979-84) working<br />
with linebacker and defensive backs, one year at Montana State (1978) and one<br />
year at Eastern Montana <strong>College</strong> (1977).<br />
A native <strong>of</strong> Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, Pawlowski and his wife Vonee have three children:<br />
Tara (25), Korie (21) and Tommy (12).
Steve Brockelbank enters his third year as the <strong>of</strong>fensive line coach at<br />
Grand Valley State. Brockelbank’s unit enabled the Laker <strong>of</strong>fense to feature<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the most balanced attacks in the country in 2005.<br />
The Laker <strong>of</strong>fensive line featured five All-GLIAC performers and two<br />
All-Americans that paved the way for the GVSU <strong>of</strong>fense to average more<br />
than 220 yards passing and 210 yards rushing per game. Josh Bourke,<br />
Brandon Barnes, Mike Pinter, Chris Stoddard and Joe Wohlscheid earned<br />
All-GLIAC plaudits, with Bourke and Wohlscheid garnering national attention.<br />
Further evidence <strong>of</strong> balance saw the Lakers rush for 25 TDs and pass<br />
for 27. In addition, Grand Valley State averaged 4.7 yards per rushing<br />
attempt and 6.2 yards per play in 2005. The Laker <strong>of</strong>fensive front proved to<br />
be equally versatile in run and pass blocking. GVSU allowed just 12 QB<br />
sacks in 313 passing attempts and were tackled for a loss just 73 times in<br />
590 rushing attempts.<br />
Brockelbank’s <strong>of</strong>fensive charges faced several injuries in his first season<br />
at the helm <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>fensive line in 2004. Several first-year performers on<br />
the Laker <strong>of</strong>fensive line yielded just 22 QB sacks in 364 passing attempts<br />
and keyed an <strong>of</strong>fense that ranked among the top five in several categories.<br />
Senior James Streit and freshman Brandon Barnes earned All-GLIAC honors<br />
under Brockelbank.<br />
Prior to his arrival at Grand Valley State, Steve spent the five years as<br />
head football coach at Ludington High School. Brockelbank was the <strong>of</strong>fensive<br />
line coach at Hillsdale <strong>College</strong> from 1994-99. In addition to coaching<br />
the <strong>of</strong>fensive line, Brockelbank was the <strong>of</strong>fensive coordinator for the<br />
Chargers from 1997-99. While at Hillsdale, Brockelbank guided an <strong>of</strong>fense<br />
that ranked among the best in the MIFC in terms <strong>of</strong> total <strong>of</strong>fense. Steve also<br />
spent two years (1992-93) as the <strong>of</strong>fensive line coach at Wayne State.<br />
Brockelbank, who earned a Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science degree from Eastern<br />
Michigan University in 1991, was a three-year letterwinner and a two-time<br />
All-Mid American Conference performer for the Eagles on the gridiron.<br />
Steve completed his Master’s in Education at Spring Arbor University in<br />
1997.<br />
A native <strong>of</strong> Jenison, Brockelbank earned all-state honors for the Wildcats<br />
in 1985. Steve and his wife, Heidi, have three daughters, Hayley (11),<br />
Madisyn (9), and Morgan (4).<br />
ASSISTANT ASSISTANT<br />
COACHES<br />
Matt Mitchell is set to begin his third year as the linebacker coach at<br />
Grand Valley State. Mitchell took over a young, inexperienced linebacking<br />
crew two years ago and has turned them into possibly the deepest, most athletic<br />
group in the country.<br />
Mitchell’s linebacking unit was a key in the Lakers’ defensive charge that<br />
led the nation in pass efficiency defense (83.6), ranked third in scoring<br />
defense (12.2), fifth in total defense (254.6) and seventh in rushing defense<br />
(88.3). Laker linebackers held five <strong>of</strong> the top nine spots among the tackle<br />
leaders on the GVSU defense. Grand Valley State held its opponents <strong>of</strong>f the<br />
scoreboard in 25-<strong>of</strong>-52 quarters played during the 2005 season and seven-<strong>of</strong>-<br />
13 opponents were held to 10 points or less. Nine-<strong>of</strong>-13 foes failed to reach<br />
the 100-yard rushing mark. The Grand Valley State defense yielded 15 TDs<br />
in 13 games last season, with six <strong>of</strong> those 15 TDs coming in the fourth quarter.<br />
The Lakers held three opponents out <strong>of</strong> the endzone for over 11 quarters<br />
to start the season.<br />
Mitchell tutored All-GLIAC performers Matt Beaty and Anthony Adams<br />
in 2005, while Lucius Hawkins garnered All-GLIAC plaudits in 2004.<br />
Mitchell’s linebacking unit was a key figure in the Lakers’ dominating<br />
defense in 2004. GVSU led the GLIAC in scoring defense (14.4), rushing<br />
defense (99.2), and total defense (281.2). The Lakers ranked second in pass<br />
efficiency defense (95.7) and QB sacks (33). GVSU held six teams to seven<br />
points or less with one shutout (34-0 at Wayne State).<br />
Prior to his arrival at GVSU, Mitchell spent four years at Wartburg (Iowa)<br />
<strong>College</strong> as an assistant coach, including the final two as the defensive coordinator.<br />
Wartburg, which compiled a record <strong>of</strong> 21-3 while Mitchell was in<br />
charge <strong>of</strong> the defense, advanced to the quarterfinals <strong>of</strong> the NCAA Division<br />
III National Championship each <strong>of</strong> his last two years. Wartburg finished<br />
third in total defense, second in rush defense and eighth in scoring defense<br />
in 2003 under Mitchell's guidance. His 2002 defense also ranked among the<br />
top 10 statistically in Division III.<br />
In addition to coaching, Matt was also the head strength and conditioning<br />
coordinator at Wartburg during his tenure.<br />
Mitchell is a certified strength and conditioning coach through the NSCA<br />
and a club coach certified through USA Weightlifting.<br />
Mitchell earned his B.S.S in Biology and Secondary Education from<br />
Cornell (Iowa) <strong>College</strong> in 1997. Matt was a two-time, First-Team All-<br />
Midwest Conference selection as a defensive lineman during his playing<br />
career at Cornell (Iowa) <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Matt is single and resides in Allendale.<br />

Matt Yoches begins his first year as the defensive line coach after serving<br />
as a graduate assistant in the Laker program the previous two years.<br />
Yoches worked with the defense during his two years as a GA. Matt will<br />
take over a unit that includes the Gene Upshaw Award winner, Mike<br />
McFadden, as the top interior lineman in DII football. The defensive line<br />
returns five letterwinners and has several key newcomers for the 2006 campaign.<br />
Yoches turned in a stellar four-year career for the Lakers on the defensive<br />
line (2000-2003). A four-year letterwinner for the Lakers on the defensive<br />
front, Yoches was part <strong>of</strong> GVSU’s back-to-back National<br />
Championship teams in 2002-03. He tallied 38 tackles, 12 tackles for loss<br />
(-67) and five QB sacks (-42) during his senior campaign. Matt received<br />
All-GLIAC plaudits and was named to the CoSIDA District Four All-<br />
Academic squad as a senior.<br />
Yoches recorded 68 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss (-67) and seven QB<br />
sack (-42) in his career. GVSU was 48-6 during his career with two<br />
National Championships and two GLIAC titles.<br />
A Dearborn Heights, Mich. native, Matt graduated from Grand Valley<br />
State in 2004 with a movement science degree and is currently working on<br />
his master’s. Matt and his wife, the former Adrienne Lubeck, were married<br />
in May and currently reside in Allendale.<br />
Jim Schaak enters his fourth year as special<br />
teams coach at Grand Valley State. Schaak<br />
works primarily with the Laker kickers, while<br />
also assisting with the defense. Schaak has<br />
worked as an assistant coach at Grand Rapids<br />
Community <strong>College</strong> and Grand Rapids West<br />
Catholic. Schaak graduated from Michigan<br />
State in 1964 and earned his master’s from MSU<br />
in 1977.<br />
David Sartin joins the Laker football program<br />
and will work on the <strong>of</strong>fensive side <strong>of</strong> the ball.<br />
Sartin comes to Grand Valley State after spending<br />
five years as an assistant coach at North Park<br />
University in Chicago, Ill. Sartin coached on<br />
both the <strong>of</strong>fensive and defensive sides <strong>of</strong> the ball<br />
while at North Park. David was a standout player<br />
at DIII power Mount Union from 1993-96.<br />
Mount Union was 51-3 during his career with<br />
two National Championships (1993-96).<br />
Adam McClain will work with the Laker<br />
defense as he enters his first season on the<br />
coaching staff. McClain comes to GVSU after<br />
spending the last three years as the defensive<br />
line coach at North Carolina Wesleyan <strong>College</strong>.<br />
McClain spent one season as an assistant at<br />
Wittenberg University where he was a two-time<br />
all-conference center.<br />
ASSISTANT ASSISTANT<br />
COACHES<br />
William Pascol enters his second year on the Laker coaching staff, but<br />
will be in charge <strong>of</strong> the running backs for the first time. William tutored the<br />
defensive line in his first season at Grand Valley State.<br />
Pascol’s defensive line was a force in the Lakers’ defensive charge that<br />
led the nation in pass efficiency defense (83.6), ranked third in scoring<br />
defense (12.2), fifth in total defense (254.6), and seventh in rushing defense<br />
(88.3). The Laker defensive line recorded 47 tackles for loss, 37 QB sacks<br />
and 244 total tackles in 2005. Highlighting that group effort was the recordsetting<br />
season <strong>of</strong> Gene Upshaw Award winning defensive tackle Mike<br />
McFadden. McFadden was honored as the top interior lineman in DII college<br />
football for his stellar junior season in which he recorded at least one<br />
quarterback sack in all 13 games and notched a season total <strong>of</strong> 19 QB sacks.<br />
McFadden ranked second on the squad in total tackles with 83. The Laker<br />
defensive line anchored a unit that held seven-<strong>of</strong>-13 opponents to 10 points<br />
or less and held 9-<strong>of</strong>-13 foes under the 100-yard rushing mark.<br />
Prior to his arrival at Grand Valley State, Pascol spent the 2004 season as<br />

coordinator at the U.S. Naval Academy Prep School. Pascol spent one year<br />
as a graduate assistant to the recruiting coordinator at Ohio State. The<br />
Buckeyes finished 8-4 with an appearance in the Outback Bowl.<br />
Pascol holds a Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science in Business Administration degree<br />
with a concentration in accounting from Ohio State. William and his wife,<br />
the former Angela Marie Walker, are the proud parents <strong>of</strong> son, William (5),<br />

SEASON PREVIEW<br />
Grand Valley State will open the 2006 season much like it<br />
started the previous four seasons, with a target on its back. The<br />
Lakers will open their fifth straight year as the top-ranked team<br />
in the country. In three <strong>of</strong> the four years that GVSU opened the<br />
year number one they claimed the NCAA DII National<br />
Championship. Grand Valley State is 70-5 in its last 75 games<br />
and 77-9 since 2000. The Laker senior class is 36-4 overall and<br />
9-1 in the NCAA play<strong>of</strong>fs with two national championships. In<br />
addition, GVSU is 50-3 in<br />
its last 53 GLIAC games.<br />
“Obviously, we have<br />
had an incredible run the<br />
last four years,” said<br />
third-year head coach<br />
Chuck Martin. “However,<br />
our record the last four<br />
years didn’t just happen.<br />
Our coaches and players<br />
work extremely hard on<br />
preparation. These kids<br />
prepare for success and<br />
they understand what<br />
goes into winning a conference<br />
and national<br />
championship,” added<br />
Martin.<br />
Offense<br />
Grand Valley State lost a key playmaker in Brandon<br />
Langston, a pair <strong>of</strong> three-year starting <strong>of</strong>fensive linemen and a<br />
tight end who just came up with key catches. However, the<br />
Lakers’ cupboard isn’t bare. The Grand Valley State <strong>of</strong>fense<br />
returns seven starters and 22 letterwinners to the mix for the<br />
2006 season. The Lakers have no shortage <strong>of</strong> playmaker’s<br />
returning and a number <strong>of</strong> exciting newcomers that will be<br />
called upon for contributions.<br />
Quarterbacks<br />
Incumbent starter Cullen Finnerty returns for his fourth year<br />
as the starter. Finnerty is 36-4 as a starting quarterback, including<br />
a 9-1 mark in the play<strong>of</strong>fs. Cullen has a chance to become<br />
the first quarterback in DII history to pass for 10,000 yards and<br />
rush for 2,000. Finnerty enters his senior year having passed<br />
for 7,685 yards and rushed<br />
for 1,803. He has accounted<br />
for 9,488 yards and 92<br />
touchdowns in his career.<br />
Cullen has averaged 13.2<br />
yards per completion in his<br />
career.<br />
“Cullen is such a competitor<br />
and has the mentality<br />
<strong>of</strong> a linebacker playing<br />
quarterback,” said Martin.<br />

“He does an outstanding job <strong>of</strong> managing the game and knows<br />
that with our defense we would rather force our opponent to<br />
drive the length <strong>of</strong> the field versus giving the ball up on a<br />
turnover and creating a short field.”<br />
A pair <strong>of</strong> redshirt freshman with no game experience will back<br />
up Finnerty. Brad Iciek enters the fall second on the depth chart,<br />
while Chad Somerville is pushing for the backup role. Both<br />
gained valuable experience in the spring, but will look to get<br />
their feet wet with playing time early in the season.<br />
“We feel good about where Brad and Chad stand at this point,<br />
but we want to get them playing time to so they can experience<br />
the speed <strong>of</strong> the college game,” said Martin. “They were both<br />
able to get a feel for what to expect by playing against our<br />
defense in the spring and that will be an advantage when they<br />
get the chance to play,” said Martin.<br />
Running Backs<br />
Senior Astin Martin was<br />
impressive in his first year<br />
with the Lakers. His 1,353<br />
rushing yards ranks third on<br />
the Laker single-season list<br />
and he has 2,574 career rushing<br />
yards. Astin broke the<br />
100-yard rushing mark nine<br />
times and as the season progressed<br />
he became more<br />
comfortable with the <strong>of</strong>fense.<br />

“I was really pleased with progress that Astin showed<br />
throughout the season,” said Martin. “He really came on as the<br />
season moved forward and you could tell his comfort level rose<br />
with each and every game.”<br />
A committee <strong>of</strong> running backs will be asked to spell Martin.<br />
Redshirt freshmen Maurice Gore and Matt Flutur will see playing<br />
time. Senior Mark Catlin, junior Preston Garris and redshirt<br />
freshman Blake Smolen will also tote the ball.<br />
“I feel we have a lot <strong>of</strong><br />
potential at the running<br />
back position in terms<br />
<strong>of</strong> numbers and quality.<br />
I really like the combinations<br />
that we can put<br />
together with the different<br />
talents <strong>of</strong> each player,”<br />
said Martin.<br />
Wide Receivers<br />
Deep and talented are<br />
two words that describe<br />
the receiving unit. The<br />
Lakers return 114 receptions<br />
from five key<br />
returnees that have a<br />
great deal <strong>of</strong> experience.<br />
Add in a group <strong>of</strong> talented<br />
newcomers and you<br />
have the makings <strong>of</strong> a lot <strong>of</strong> big plays. Seniors Eric Fowler,<br />
Terry Mitchell and Mark Catlin, along with junior Antione<br />
Trent and sophomore Robert Carlisle boast a lot <strong>of</strong> talent.<br />
Fowler led the Lakers with 57 catches for 882 yards, while<br />
Mitchell hauled in 23 catches for 485 yards and six TDs.
Mitchell’s 21.1 yards per<br />
catch led the team. Trent came<br />
up with some key receptions,<br />
while Garris and Catlin are<br />
key performers that give the<br />
Lakers a lot <strong>of</strong> options.<br />
Jaquon Morrison is a junior<br />
college transfer with impressive<br />
credentials, while Mike<br />
Koster and Blake Smolen<br />
showed great promise in the<br />
spring. Sophomore Scott<br />
Blasko gained valuable experience<br />
at tight end last season<br />
and saw a great deal <strong>of</strong> action<br />
as the season progressed.<br />
“Going into the season we<br />
feel good about what we have<br />
at the wide receiver position,”<br />
said Martin. “I like the depth<br />
and the combinations that we<br />
can put on the field for certain<br />
situations. This group has<br />
really turned into a strength <strong>of</strong><br />
our football team.”<br />
Offensive Lineman<br />
Like any other team, success<br />
<strong>of</strong>fensively rests on the <strong>of</strong>fensive line. The Lakers’ <strong>of</strong>fensive<br />
features both talent and depth. Juniors Joe Wohlscheid (RG) and<br />
Brandon Barnes (RT), pre-<br />
season All-Americans, make<br />
up possibly the best right side<br />
<strong>of</strong> any <strong>of</strong>fensive line in the<br />
country. The Lakers have<br />
eight other <strong>of</strong>fensive linemen<br />
that have a great deal <strong>of</strong><br />
experience. Drew Burton,<br />
Jacob Henige, Sean Stevens,<br />
Billy Eisenhardt, Jacob<br />
Topp, Sam Allen and junior<br />
college transfer Nate John<br />
enable will be counted on to<br />
fill the gaps vacated by All-<br />
GLIAC performers Josh<br />
Bourke, Mike Pinter and<br />
Chris Stoddard. Redshirt<br />
freshmen Nick McDonald<br />
and Tyler Holtz will also<br />
push for playing time.<br />
“We have an outstanding<br />
core group <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fensive linemen,”<br />
said Martin. “That<br />
group give our <strong>of</strong>fense the<br />
flexibility to do a number <strong>of</strong><br />
things in both the running<br />
and passing game. I don’t<br />
think you can ever have<br />

Defense<br />
The Lakers return<br />
nine starters and 15 letterman<br />
to a defense that<br />
ranked among the<br />
national leaders in virtually<br />
every team category.<br />
GVSU’s depth<br />
defensively will also be<br />
bolstered by the addition<br />
key junior college<br />
transfers and redshirt freshmen.<br />
Defensive Line<br />
Grand Valley State returns three starters, highlighted by the<br />
return <strong>of</strong> consensus All-American defensive lineman Mike<br />
McFadden. McFadden was named the Gene Upshaw Award<br />
winner as the top interior lineman in DII college football after<br />
recording a QB sack in every game played for a total <strong>of</strong> 19.<br />
Mike also ranked second on the team in total tackles with 83.<br />
Juniors Ryan Gaydosh and<br />
Justin Ulberg enter their second<br />
season as starters, while<br />
senior Derrick Jones will be<br />
expected to contribute after a<br />
stellar spring. Sophomore<br />
Dan Skuta move from linebacker<br />
to defensive line,<br />
while redshirt freshman<br />
Drew Hinkle and Lance<br />
Travis will be counted on in<br />
the playing rotation. Junior<br />
college transfers Jeremy<br />
Ehinger and Chris Favors<br />
will also see action.<br />
“You are going to feel<br />
good about your defensive<br />
line when you have Mike<br />
McFadden suiting up,” said<br />
Martin. “Mike is a difference<br />

Florence, Alabama, home <strong>of</strong> the<br />
NCAA DII National Championship<br />
game, has become the home away from<br />
home for the Grand Valley State football<br />
team. After three straight trips to the title<br />
game (2001-03), GVSU failed in its bid<br />
for a fourth straight trip and a third consecutive<br />
title in 2004. However, the winningest<br />
senior class in DII football history<br />
wanted to make history in 2005 and<br />
finish their careers in Florence.<br />
History was made and the Lakers did<br />
make that return trip. The 2005 Grand<br />
Valley State senior class entered the title<br />
game with a 50-4 record and needed a win<br />
to become the winningest senior class in<br />
DII football history. The Lakers’ first<br />
three trips to the National Championship<br />
game came down to the final play in the<br />
closing seconds. GVSU lost its first<br />
attempt for a title in 2001 when North<br />
Dakota scored the game-winning TD with<br />
under a minute left. The following year<br />
GVSU scored with 1:04 left to win the<br />
National Championship. 2003 brought<br />
yet another exciting finish as linebacker<br />
Mike Hoad preserved the win with an<br />
interception in the closing seconds for the<br />
Lakers’ second straight National<br />
Championship. Would anyone have<br />
expected anything less than a National<br />
Championship game involving Grand<br />
Valley State being decided on the final<br />
play?<br />
The Lakers trailed Northwest Missouri<br />
State 17-14 midway through the fourth<br />
SEASON REVIEW<br />
quarter when they started their National<br />
Championship game-winning drive. Junior<br />
QB Cullen Finnerty hit WR Eric Fowler<br />
with a key third-down pass to keep the<br />
drive alive. Senior WR Brandon Langston<br />
thought he let the title slip away when a<br />
Finnerty pass just slipped through his<br />
hands. However, Finnerty came back to the<br />
Lakers’ playmaker later in the drive and<br />
boy did he prove worthy <strong>of</strong> the task.<br />
Langston took a screen pass and raced 35<br />
yards to paydirt to give GVSU a 21-17 lead<br />
with just over four minutes remaining. The<br />
Bearcats picked up a couple <strong>of</strong> first downs<br />
and had one final play from the Laker 25<br />
with one tick left on the clock. The pass<br />
was completed, but senior safety Joe<br />
Ballard and sophomore linebacker Kirk<br />
Carruth made sure it was short <strong>of</strong> the goal<br />
line and GVSU had its third DII football<br />
National Championship in four years. The<br />
victory also enabled the Laker senior class<br />
to pick up their 51st victory against just<br />
four losses to establish the top victory total<br />
and best winning percentage in a four-year<br />
period.<br />
GVSU swept through the regular season<br />
with a perfect 9-0 record. Grand Valley<br />
State held the top spot in the AFCA poll<br />
after a 14-10 comeback win at Ashland on<br />
Sept. 17. The Lakers claimed a pair <strong>of</strong><br />
impressive wins in October over nationally-ranked<br />
opponents. GVSU claimed a 31-<br />
10 victory over #4 Saginaw Valley State<br />
and then one week later tallied a 30-14 win<br />
at #5 Northwood. The Lakers’ final game<br />
<strong>of</strong> the regular season was cancelled due to<br />
lightning on a November night.<br />
GVSU received a bye as the top seed in<br />
the Northwest Region and opened the play<strong>of</strong>fs<br />
with a familar foe in North Dakota.<br />
GVSU dominated the contest defensively<br />
and had all the points they needed by halftime<br />
(14-0) en route to a 17-3 victory. A<br />
rematch with Saginaw Valley State was<br />
next and the Cardinals built a 14-7 halftime<br />
lead. However, a crucial TD on fourth-andone<br />
tied the game in the third quarter and<br />
GVSU added 10 more points to claim a 24-<br />
17 victory. The semifinals were next and<br />
East Stroudsburg (Pa.) was all that stood<br />
between the Lakers another trip to<br />
Florence. The Warriors didn’t stand in the<br />
way long as GVSU raced out to a 41-0 lead<br />
midway through the second quarter and<br />
went on to claim a 55-20 victory.<br />
The Lakers placed 18 on the All-GLIAC<br />
team, including nine first-teamers. DT<br />
Mike McFadden was named the GLIAC<br />
Defensive Lineman <strong>of</strong> the Year, quarterback<br />
Cullen Finnerty was named the<br />
Offensive Back <strong>of</strong> the Year and <strong>of</strong>fensive<br />
tackle Josh Bourke finished his career by<br />

McFadden was named the Gene Upshaw<br />
Award winner as the top DII interior lineman.<br />
Head coach Chuck Martin was<br />
named the AFCA DII Coach <strong>of</strong> the Year.<br />
• Grand Valley State finished the season
anked #1 in the AFCA coaches poll.<br />
Including this season, GVSU has been<br />
ranked number one for a total <strong>of</strong> 40 polls,<br />
the second-highest total in DII history<br />
behind North Dakota State’s 41. GVSU has<br />

Allendale, Mich. - Grand Valley State opened the 2005 season in fine fashion Saturday night with an impressive 30-10 victory over GLIAC and West Michigan rival Ferris<br />
State. The Lakers delighted a GVSU and GLIAC single-game record crowd <strong>of</strong> 14,557 with the fifth straight victory in the series with the Bulldogs. GVSU also improved to<br />
52-5 in its last 57 games.<br />
GVSU opened the 2005 campaign with a 15-play, 67-yard scoring drive that ended with a Scott Greene 37-yard field goal. The drive featured the first action for Grand<br />
Rapids native Astin Martin. Martin made the most <strong>of</strong> his play with a 13-yard run from scrimmage on his first play. Astin tallied 31 yards on four carries in his opening drive.<br />
GVSU was forced to punt on its next possession, and the snap from center sailed over senior punter Matt Regnery's head. Regnery attempted to kick the ball,<br />
but FSU's Lenald Mombo scooped up the fumble and ran six yards for the score. Josh Eichler added the PAT and the Bulldogs held their first lead <strong>of</strong> the game.<br />
The GVSU defense held Ferris State on a fourth-and-two play early in the second quarter when safety Samad Cain tackled QB Ryan Kaul just inches short <strong>of</strong> the first down.<br />
GVSU took over on its 35 and needed just four plays to go 65 yards for the go ahead score. Junior QB Cullen Finnerty hit senior tight end Jeremy Cochrane with a 28-yard<br />
pass play, and then hit junior WR Eric Fowler with a perfectly thrown 33-yard TD pass. Greene added the PAT and GVSU had a lead it would never give up. Greene added<br />
his second field goal <strong>of</strong> the game, this coming from 28 yards, to give the Lakers a 13-7 lead with 7:17 left in the second stanza. Ferris State took over on its own two with<br />
2:39 left in the first half and moved the ball out the its 27-yard line with just over a minute left, however, freshman linebacker Dan Skuta picked <strong>of</strong> a Ryan Kaul pass and<br />
returned it 24 yards to the FSU 19. Finnerty scrambled 14 yards on first down to the FSU five and then concluded the drive with a two yard jaunt with just 19 seconds in the<br />
half to give GVSU a 20-7 lead.<br />
The Lakers came out smoking in the second half, taking the opening kick<strong>of</strong>f and moving 80 yards in seven plays for a TD. Finnerty hit Langston on a perfectly<br />
thrown fade pass for 43 yards and then ended the drive with another perfectly thrown ball to Langston that covered the final 15 yards. Greene added the PAT and the<br />
Lakers led 27-7 with 12:11 left in the third quarter. Ferris State and GVSU traded field goals for the final margin. The Lakers had a Jeff Dock rushing TD called back and<br />
threw an intercption in the FSU endzone during the third quarter to thwart two scoring drives.<br />
The Laker defense allowed just 202 total yards and held FSU to just a field goal while forcing five three plays and out. Sophomore corner Brandon Carr and freshman linebacker<br />
Dan Skuta each recorded an interception for the Lakers. The GVSU defensive unit notched five tackles for loss (-33) and three Mike McFadden QB sacks. Ferris<br />
managed 98 rushing yards on 31 attempts and 104 yards through the air on 10 completions.<br />
B. Carr led the defense with nine tackles, while linebacker Anthony Adam chipped in seven stops. Mike McFadden tallied six total tackles, three <strong>of</strong> which were QB sacks (-<br />

while adding a rushing TD. Astin Martin picked up 116 yards on 19 carries, while Brandon Langston hauled in four receptions for 75 yards and TD. Langston also forced<br />
two pass interference penalties. Eric Fowler hauled in two passes for 44 yards and a TD, while Antione Trent caught two passes for 35 yards. Mark Catlin returned seven<br />

That was the last hightlight for Gannon as the Lakers reeled <strong>of</strong>f 27 straight points to take a 27-7 lead. Cullen Finnerty hit<br />
Brandon Langston with a 34-yard pass and catch to tie the game on the Lakers' next possession. Grand Valley's Astin Martin<br />

lead. Gannon drove down inside the Laker five and had a first-and-goal, but three plays netted minus four yards and the Golden<br />
Knights had to settle for a 25-yard field goal. GVSU answered with a Scott Greene 39-yard field goal and Finnerty then hit<br />
Mitchell with his second TD catch <strong>of</strong> the night, this one covering 19 yards with 59 seconds left in the first half to give the<br />
Lakers a 37-10 lead heading into the lockerroom.<br />
GVSU managed just a Scott Greene 22-yard field goal in the third quarter to take a 40-10 lead. Sophomore Preston<br />

Ashland, Ohio - #2 Grand Valley State needed a big play in the fourth quarter and a big play was delivered by junior QB<br />
Cullen Finnerty and senior tight end Jeremy Cochrane. Trailing 10-7 late in the fourth quarter Finnerty scrambled to his right<br />
and found Cochrane all alone at the five-yard line for a 45 yard pass and catch for a TD to give GVSU the lead for good with<br />
8:06 left in the game. PK Scott Greene added the PAT to put the Lakers in front 14-10. The Laker defense then delivered by<br />

and GLIAC action, while Ashland falls to 3-1 overall and 2-1 in GLIAC action.<br />
Grand Valley State and Ashland started the game with fireworks, as each team drove quickly down the field on its open<br />
possession. Ashland took the opening kick<strong>of</strong>f and drove to the Lakers' 14-yard line, but Heath Studer missed a 32-yard field<br />
goal wide left. The Lakers drove impressively down the field on their opening drive and faced a third and goal from the five,<br />
however Finnerty was unable to connect with Antione Trent in the back <strong>of</strong> the endzone, and Scott Greene then missed a 22-yard<br />
field goal to negate the potential scoring drive.<br />
The Lakers put points on the board first when WR Eric Fowler hauled in a 12-yard TD reception from Finnerty on the<br />
first play <strong>of</strong> the second quarter. Scott Greene added the PAT to give GVSU a 7-0 lead. The TD pass culminated a 7-play, 63yard<br />
drive that took just 2:26. Ashland got on the board when the Lakers were forced to punt from deep in their own territory<br />
and Devon Cornwell the Matt Regnery punt and Rock Lewis returned it six yards for a TD. Studer added the PAT to tie the<br />
game at 7-7.<br />

faced a fourth-and-one and elected to attempt a 27-yard field goal that Jared Karrasch missed wide right.<br />
Ashland took a 10-7 lead with a 22-yard field goal by Heath Studer at the 10:22 mark <strong>of</strong> the fourth quarter. The Eagles<br />
drove 60 yards in 13 plays to take their first lead <strong>of</strong> the game.<br />

Allendale, Mich. - Grand Valley State's junior QB Cullen Finnerty tossed two second-quarter TD passes and the Laker defense forced<br />
three North Dakota turnovers en route to a 17-3 Laker victory over the Fighting Sioux in NCAA DII second-round play<strong>of</strong>f action.<br />
Grand Valley State was forced to punt after the Lakers failed to pick up a first down on their first series, but GVSU sophomore<br />
linebacker Anthony Adams forced a fumble by UND's Chris Beatty on the Fighting Sioux's first play from scrimmage that safety Joe<br />
Ballard recovered. GVSU then drove 37 yards in 10 plays, but the Lakers were unable to get a 27-yard field goal attempt <strong>of</strong>f following<br />
an errant snap. The Lakers, who were going against a 25 mile per hour wind in the first quarter, were able to get out <strong>of</strong> the first quarter<br />
with a 0-0 score. GVSU took full advantage <strong>of</strong> the wind in the second quarter. Finnerty directed a 12-play, 85-yard drive early in the<br />
quarter. Finnerty hit tight end Jeremy Cochrane with a 26-yard scoring pass on a broken play and Scott Greene added the PAT to give<br />
GVSU a 7-0 lead.<br />
GVSU got the ball back on its own 31-yard line following a UND punt and the Lakers moved 69 yards in five plays for a score.<br />
Finnerty hit WR Preston Garris with a 38-yard pass play on third down, then he found Antione Trent at the UND five and Trent went<br />
the final five yards for a 26-yard scoring play. Greene added his second PAT to give the Lakers a 14-0 lead. North Dakota drove to the<br />
Laker 38 on its next possession, but Adams forced his second fumble <strong>of</strong> the half and DL Mike McFadden picked it up and returned it<br />
nine yards to thwart the drive. The Laker defense limited UND to just 105 yards <strong>of</strong> total <strong>of</strong>fense in the first half, while the GVSU<br />
<strong>of</strong>fense notched 208 yards, including 164 yards passing from Finnerty.<br />
UND was heading into a brisk wind in the third quarter and the Fighting Sioux's Brent Halfmann netted just 28 yards on his<br />
first punt <strong>of</strong> the third quarter. GVSU drove 13 yards into North Dakota territory, but Greene was wide left on a 48-yard attempt. GVSU<br />
got the ball back on its own 20 and drove 48 yards in six plays before Greene drilled a career long, 50-yard field goal with 5:01 left in<br />
the third quarter to put the Lakers up 17-0.<br />
North Dakota's Jeff Glas hit a 27-yard field goal with 10:55 left in the second quarter to conclude a 15-play, 70-yard drive.<br />
GVSU used 4:19 <strong>of</strong>f the clock on its next possession, but the Sioux continued to put the pressure on GVSU and drove into Laker territory.<br />
However, linebacker Rory Steinbach knocked the ball lose when sacking QB Reed Manke and fellow linebacker Dan Skuta picked<br />
up the ball and returned it five yards. The Laker defense faced one final threat when North Dakota drove down to the Laker 3-yard line<br />
and had a first-and-goal, but the stout GVSU defense forced three incomplete passes and sacked Chris Belmore to keep the Fighting<br />
Sioux out <strong>of</strong> the endzone for the second time in the last three years.<br />

THE GLIAC<br />
The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference<br />
The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) was founded in<br />
1972. During the two years previous to the GLIAC’s founding, several attempts<br />
were made to create a new NCAA <strong>College</strong> Division conference. In 1971, the Great<br />
Lakes Athletic Conference was formed, but plans for the new conference were put<br />
on hold and several <strong>of</strong> the participating schools subsequently withdrew their support.<br />
However, the idea for a new conference did not die, and since 1972-73 the<br />
GLIAC has been a leader in the advancement and promotion <strong>of</strong> intercollegiate athletics<br />
for men and women. The charter members <strong>of</strong> the GLIAC were Ferris State<br />
University, Grand Valley State University, Lake Superior State University,<br />
Northwood University, and Saginaw Valley State University. Expansion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
GLIAC began immediately with the addition <strong>of</strong> Oakland University in 1974.<br />
Hillsdale <strong>College</strong> and Northern Michigan University were accepted as members in<br />
1975, while Wayne State University joined in 1976. In 1977, the conference lost<br />
its first member when Northern Michigan withdrew. Michigan Tech University filled the vacancy when it became a member<br />
in 1980. After the 1986-87 season, Northwood left the conference and was replaced by Northern Michigan. Northwood<br />
rejoined the conference in 1992. After the 1989 season, the conference dropped football as a sponsored sport. The conference<br />
schools sponsoring football joined the members <strong>of</strong> the Heartland Collegiate Conference in forming the football-only<br />
Midwest Intercollegiate <strong>Football</strong> Conference (MIFC), which began play in 1990. After nine years <strong>of</strong> existence as one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
premier conferences in Division II football, the MIFC merged as part <strong>of</strong> GLIAC on July 1, 1999. With the merger, the<br />
University <strong>of</strong> Indianapolis became an associate member as a football-only school. The GLIAC entered a new era in the<br />
1995-96 school year. Prior to 1995-96, all member institutions <strong>of</strong> the GLIAC were located in the state <strong>of</strong> Michigan. On<br />
December 14, 1994, membership was <strong>of</strong>fered to three schools located in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The expansion members<br />
were Ashland University <strong>of</strong> Ashland, Ohio, and Gannon University and Mercyhurst <strong>College</strong>, both located in Erie,<br />
Pennsylvania. All three schools began their membership July 1, 1995. On July 1, 1997, membership was granted to The<br />
University <strong>of</strong> Findlay, located in Findlay, Ohio. UF replaced Oakland University, which withdrew from the conference after<br />
the 1996-97 season as it moved to NCAA Division I status. Westminster <strong>College</strong>, located in New Wilmington,<br />
Pennsylvania, became the 14th member <strong>of</strong> the GLIAC when it accepted its expansion <strong>of</strong>fer in May <strong>of</strong> 1997. On June 30,<br />
2000 Westminster left the conference as it changed its affiliation<br />
to NCAA Division III. Overall the GLIAC conducts championships<br />
in 20 sports, 10 for men and 10 for women. The policymaking<br />
body <strong>of</strong> the GLIAC is the Executive Council, which is<br />
comprised <strong>of</strong> three representatives from each member institution<br />
– its director <strong>of</strong> athletics, faculty athletics representative and senior<br />
woman administrator. Final approval <strong>of</strong> all amendments to the<br />
GLIAC constitution and by-laws is required by the Council <strong>of</strong><br />
GLIAC Presidents. The presidency <strong>of</strong> the GLIAC is rotated<br />
alphabetically by school, with Steven Rackley, director <strong>of</strong> athletics<br />
at the University <strong>of</strong> Findlay, serving as GLIAC President in The GLIAC Commissoners<br />
200607. Tom Kirinovic, director <strong>of</strong> athletics at Ferris State, will<br />
serve as Past President, and Tim Selgo, director <strong>of</strong> athletics at<br />
Grand Valley State, serving as President-Elect. As GLIAC com-<br />
John Hoekje 1971-72 to 1978-79<br />
missioner, Tom Brown is responsible for all conference adminis-<br />
Herbert “Pete” Peterson 1979-80 to 1984-85<br />
tration. He is beginning his 15th season as the conference’s fifth<br />
commissioner. Assisting Brown are: Jeff Ligney, Director <strong>of</strong><br />
Tom Donahue 1985-86 to 1986-87<br />
Media Relations; Denise Gross, Assistant to the Commissioner;<br />
Phil Barnes, Supervisor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Football</strong> Officials; John Kirk, Vern Norris 1987-88 to 1991-92<br />
Supervisor <strong>of</strong> Basketball Officials; and Jeanne Skinner,<br />
Supervisor <strong>of</strong> Volleyball Officials.<br />
Tom Brown 1992-93 to current
GLIAC <strong>Football</strong> History<br />
The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference began<br />
sponsoring football as a league sport in the Fall <strong>of</strong> 1973 with<br />
three teams, Ferris State University, Grand Valley State<br />
University, and Northwood University. In 1974, Hillsdale<br />
<strong>College</strong> joined the league as the fourth football team. The<br />
conference expanded again in 1975 when Saginaw Valley<br />
State University started a football program and Wayne State<br />
University joined the league. The number <strong>of</strong> GLIAC football<br />
teams grew to seven in 1980 when Michigan Tech University<br />
was added, though the Huskies left the league after the 1985<br />
season. In 1987, Northwood left the league and was replaced<br />
by Northern Michigan University. After the 1989 season, the<br />
GLIAC dropped football as a sponsored sport. The six conference<br />
schools sponsoring football, Ferris State, Grand Valley<br />
State, Hillsdale, Northern Michigan, Saginaw Valley State,<br />
and Wayne State, joined the five members <strong>of</strong> the Heartland<br />
Collegiate Conference, Ashland University, Butler University,<br />
the University <strong>of</strong> Indianapolis, St. Joseph’s <strong>College</strong>, and<br />
Valparaiso University, in forming the football-only Midwest<br />
Intercollegiate <strong>Football</strong> Conference (MIFC), which began play<br />
in 1990. The MIFC would change again for the 1993 season<br />
as two teams would leave and two teams would join. Butler<br />
and Valparaiso left the conference, but Northwood rejoined<br />
and the <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> St. Francis (Ill.) was added. The league<br />
grew to 12 teams in 1994 with the addition <strong>of</strong> Michigan Tech<br />
and stayed at 12 teams until St. Joseph’s left after the 1995<br />
season. In 1998, the league expanded to 14 teams with the additions <strong>of</strong> the University <strong>of</strong> Findlay, Mercyhurst <strong>College</strong>,<br />
and Westminster <strong>College</strong>, but would drop back to 13 teams with the departure <strong>of</strong> St. Francis after the season. Westminster<br />
would depart after the 1999 season, leaving 12 teams. Gannon<br />
University was added before the 2004 season, giving the league its current<br />
13-team roster. After nine years <strong>of</strong> existence as one <strong>of</strong> the premier<br />
conferences in Division II football, the MIFC merged as part <strong>of</strong><br />
GLIAC on July 1, 1999. The GLIAC has a earned the reputation as one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the toughest and deepest Conferences in Division II with a strong<br />
postseason history. Three GLIAC teams made National Association <strong>of</strong><br />
Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) play<strong>of</strong>f appearances. Grand Valley<br />
State made it to the national semifinals in 1978. Saginaw Valley State<br />
made three trips to the NAIA play<strong>of</strong>fs (1979, 1983, 1984), posting a 2-<br />
3 mark. Hillsdale earned five NAIA postseason berths as a member <strong>of</strong><br />
the GLIAC (1981, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1988), taking home the championship<br />
in 1985. The first team to represent the GLIAC in the Division<br />
II play<strong>of</strong>fs was Northern Michigan in 1987. The Wildcats made the D-<br />
II semifinals that season. Grand Valley State started a three-year postseason<br />
run in 1989, though the Lakers failed to get out <strong>of</strong> the first<br />
round. Butler joined GVSU in the D-II play<strong>of</strong>fs in 1991, marking the<br />
first year the league had two teams participate in postseason play.<br />
Butler fell to the eventual national champion, Pittsburg State<br />
University (Kan.) in the first round. The 1992 Division II play<strong>of</strong>fs saw<br />
the first GLIAC team make it past the opening round in league history.<br />
Grand Valley State claimed it’s third<br />
national championship in 2005.<br />

THE GLIAC<br />
GLIAC <strong>Football</strong> History (cont.)<br />
New Haven (Conn.) in the quarterfinals. The 1992 season marked the beginning <strong>of</strong> a five-year play<strong>of</strong>f run for the Bulldogs,<br />
with their best performance coming in 1995 after a national semifinal appearance. Grand Valley State made its fourth and<br />
fifth D-II postseason trips in 1994 and 1998, respectively. Ashland made its first appearance in the play<strong>of</strong>fs as a member <strong>of</strong><br />
the GLIAC in 1997. After being shut out <strong>of</strong> the play<strong>of</strong>fs in 1999, the GLIAC posted two teams in the 2000 tournament as<br />
Northwood and Saginaw Valley State each made their first D-II postseason appearances. The Timberwolves claimed a firstround<br />
victory over Indiana University (Pa.) before falling to Bloomsburg University (Pa.) in the quarterfinals. The 2001<br />
season was historic for the league as two teams made it through the first round <strong>of</strong> the play<strong>of</strong>fs. Grand Valley State and<br />
Saginaw Valley State each posted opening-round wins and faced each other in the national quarterfinals. The Lakers won a<br />
shoot-out in Allendale (Mich.), 33-30, and cruised to a semifinal win over Catawba <strong>College</strong> (N.C.). GVSU advanced to the<br />
championship game before falling to the University North Dakota, 17-14. The Lakers would redeem themselves in 2002 by<br />
claiming the league’s first Division II football national championship. Grand Valley State defeated Valdosta State<br />
University (Ga.) in the finals, 3124. GVSU would repeat as national champions in 2003. The Lakers knocked <strong>of</strong>f North<br />
Dakota in that championship game, 10-3. Three league teams, GLIAC co-champions Michigan Tech and Northwood, along<br />
with Grand Valley State, would earn play<strong>of</strong>f berths in 2004. GVSU fell in the regional finals to North Dakota, 19-15. The<br />
2005 season saw more postseason success for the GLIAC. GVSU, SVSU, and Northwood each gained postseason entrance.<br />
The Lakers and Cardinals battled for the Northwest Region title, but GVSU advanced, 24-17, and went on to defeat NW<br />
Missouri State, 21-17, in the Division II title game. Though many teams have made history for the GLIAC, the league can<br />
also boast upon individual accomplishments. Saginaw Valley State defensive end Lamar King became the highest drafted<br />
Division II player in history when the Seattle Seahawks chose him 22nd overall in the first round <strong>of</strong> the NFL draft in 1999.<br />
In 2002, Grand Valley State quarterback Curt Anes became the GLIAC’s first Harlon Hill Trophy winner as the Division II<br />
Player <strong>of</strong> the Year. Anes led the Lakers to consecutive championship game appearances, helping GVSU to the national title<br />
in 2002.<br />

The Grand Valley State football team enjoys the<br />
friendly confines <strong>of</strong> Arend D. Lubbers Stadium, one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
top Division II facilities in the nation. Gameday at Lubbers<br />
Stadium brings a buzz <strong>of</strong> excitment and pride to the Laker<br />
football program. The surroundings <strong>of</strong> Lubbers Stadium<br />
have changed almost yearly and add to the festivities that<br />
surround a Laker football Saturday during the fall. Most<br />
recently, a new Daktronics Scoreboard with a ProStar<br />
Video Display board was added for the 2005 season. Two<br />
seating sections were added to each end <strong>of</strong> the home side<br />
and a new student section was built to accomadate the stellar<br />
student turnout for Laker football games in 2004.<br />
The Lakers have moved all <strong>of</strong> their football operations<br />
into the GVSU <strong>Football</strong> Center and the Rob<br />
Odejewski Weight Room in 2002. The <strong>Football</strong> Center<br />
includes a state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art locker room, equipment room,<br />
training room and meeting rooms. The design doubled the<br />
size <strong>of</strong> the former building in the north end zone by adding<br />
over 4,000 square feet (2,000 sqaure feet on each side).<br />
Permanent lighting, a new playing surface, and six executive<br />
suites located on each side <strong>of</strong> the press box are additions<br />
added in the last four years. The student seating area,<br />
which moved to south endzone in 1998, has created<br />
renewed excitment among the student body. The student<br />
seating section has doubled in capacity from 1,300 to 2,700<br />
with the new bleachers. The Laker student seating section<br />
is routinely filled to capacity with the overflow moving<br />
onto the track.<br />

With the increased seating in the south end zone<br />
and the two new sections on the home side, Lubbers<br />
Stadium now has a permanent seating capacity for 8,550<br />
fans. The Lakers set a Lubbers Stadium and GLIAC singlegame<br />
record in 2005 as 14,557 fans watched Grand Valley<br />
State claim a 30-10 victory over Ferris State in the seasonopener.<br />
GVSU set a GLIAC single-season attendance<br />
record as 57,662 fans watched Laker football at Lubbers<br />
Stadium during the regular season for an average <strong>of</strong> 11,532<br />
for five home dates. The Lakers ranked second in total<br />
attendance (73,936) among DII schools for the season and<br />
sixth in average per home contest (9,242). GVSU’s regular<br />
season average <strong>of</strong> 11,532 ranked second in the country<br />
among DII schools. West Texas A&M drew 13,089 fans per<br />
home game during the 2005 campaign. Four <strong>of</strong> the Lakers’<br />
top 10 single-game crowds came during the 2005 regular<br />
season. GVSU played before crowds <strong>of</strong> 14,472 (Saginaw<br />
Valley), 10,942 (Wayne State) and 10,460 (Northern<br />
Michigan). The Lakers have played before crowds <strong>of</strong><br />
10,000 or more 13 times in the last 21 regular season<br />
games.<br />
Designed with the future in mind, the stadium can<br />
have permanent seating added when needed, with ultimate<br />
expansion to 20,000 seats. A new track was also installed<br />
in the summer <strong>of</strong> 1998.<br />
The stadium and track complex was dedicated on<br />
September 15, 1979, and named in honor <strong>of</strong> former Grand<br />
Valley State president, Arend D. Lubbers. Lubbers was<br />
instrumental in raising more than $700,000 toward the<br />
$1,050,000 project. The majority <strong>of</strong> the cost was <strong>of</strong>fset by<br />
gifts from GVSU football fans and private donors.<br />
Lubbers Stadium was built around the existing<br />
football field <strong>of</strong> Prescription Athletic Turf (PAT). The field,<br />
which is drained and heated by more than seven miles <strong>of</strong><br />
tubing and electric coils, was installed in 1972. A new automatic<br />
sprinkler system was also installed in the summer <strong>of</strong><br />
1998.<br />

Grand Valley State was one <strong>of</strong> only a handful <strong>of</strong> colleges and<br />
universities which began playing football in the 1970’s.<br />
According to NCAA records, the Lakers have been one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
most successful <strong>of</strong> all collegiate squads to take the field during<br />
that time period.<br />
Laker football has been a key element <strong>of</strong> Grand Valley’s rise<br />
from a small college to a regional university. President Arend D.<br />
Lubbers began the push for a team when he arrived in 1969. A<br />
year later, a Laker junior varsity team took the field. Then, in the<br />
fall <strong>of</strong> 1971, the Lakers kicked <strong>of</strong>f their first varsity season. “It<br />
was clear that Grand Valley was changing from a commuter college,<br />
to a residential school in need <strong>of</strong> activities such as music,<br />
drama, and athletics,” Lubbers recalled. “<strong>Football</strong> gave us the<br />
anchor, something you could<br />
build your weekend around.”<br />
The Origin <strong>of</strong> the Program<br />
Lubbers came to Grand<br />
Valley from Central <strong>College</strong> in<br />
Pella, Iowa, which had a successful<br />
football tradition. He<br />
hired Zeeland native Ron<br />
Schipper, who had been at<br />
Central for 33 years, played in<br />
three national finals, and won<br />
one national championship.<br />
“I was used to success at<br />
Central <strong>College</strong>, so when we<br />
started at Grand Valley, I wanted<br />
to have a successful program<br />
instead <strong>of</strong> throwing the<br />
ball out and saying, ‘O.K.<br />
boys, it doesn’t matter whether<br />
we win or not.’”<br />
But despite Lubbers’ success<br />
at Central <strong>College</strong>, it took<br />
almost nine years before Grand<br />
Valley had the total package.<br />
The First Varsity Team<br />
With blessing from the<br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Control, GV launched<br />
its football program to play a<br />
junior varsity schedule in 1970<br />
and became varsity in 1971. On<br />
March 24, 1970, Lubbers,<br />
along with athletic director Charles H. Irwin, announced the hiring<br />
<strong>of</strong> Robert “Rip” Collins, a successful high school coach at<br />
Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills. Success didn’t come quickly for the<br />
Lakers, and it took almost three years to win a football game.<br />
Collins was unable to get the program <strong>of</strong>f to a successful start<br />
after going 0-13 and being outscored 534-58 in 1971 and 1972.<br />
Harkema Begins the Tradition<br />
E. James Harkema took over as head coach in January <strong>of</strong> 1973,<br />
coming to GV from Northern Illinois where he was an <strong>of</strong>fensive<br />
backfield coach.<br />
Also awaiting Harkema was a brand new football field constructed<br />
in 1972 which featured the first “prescription athletic<br />
turf” (PAT) football playing surface in the country.<br />
It was ironic that Harkema opened the 1973 campaign against<br />
his alma mater Kalamazoo <strong>College</strong>, where he won 10 varsity letters<br />
and led the Hornets to six MIAA championships.<br />
John Mahan rushed 26 times for 158 yards and Steve Brems<br />
added 122 more to lead GV to its first football victory in its season<br />
opener at home, a 27-14 win over Kalamazoo. Defensive<br />
tackle Bryce Berth and <strong>of</strong>fensive guard Tom Tefft were named the<br />
History Histor<br />
Running back John Mahan<br />
<strong>of</strong>fensive and defensive players <strong>of</strong> the game.<br />
To prove it was not fluke, the Lakers did it again the following<br />
week with Mahan rushing for 147 yards and Brems adding 138 as<br />
GV defeated Chicago Circle 40-8 in a night game played at<br />
Soldier Field in Chicago.<br />
Grand Valley outscored opponents 259-120 and posted their<br />
first winning season. 1973 marked the start <strong>of</strong> the great football<br />
tradition at Grand Valley, and during the next 10 years under<br />
Harkema they would post a 68-29-1 record, win three Great Lakes<br />
Conference football championships and make one trip to the<br />
NAIA play<strong>of</strong>fs.<br />
Also during that period, a number <strong>of</strong> Lakers would begin<br />
careers in pr<strong>of</strong>essional football. Jim Schaap and Tom Tefft, 1971-<br />
73, were the first Lakers to sign<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional football contracts<br />
when they signed with the<br />
Detroit Wheels <strong>of</strong> the World<br />
<strong>Football</strong> League in 1974, setting<br />
the stage for a number <strong>of</strong><br />
GV football alums to follow<br />
into the National <strong>Football</strong><br />
League during that period.<br />
They include Gary Evans<br />
1975-77 (New York Jets), Ron<br />
Essink 1976-79 (Seattle<br />
Seahawks), Ron Rubick 1978-<br />
81 (Detroit Lions), Steve<br />
Michuta 1979-81 (Cleveland<br />
Browns), and Jeff Chadwick<br />
1980-82 (Detroit Lions).<br />
Many Laker followers feel<br />
that the 1975 team, with a 7-2-<br />
1 record, may have set the standards<br />
for many years to come.<br />
After dropping a hard fought<br />
15-6 contest to Wayne State,<br />
which also included the loss <strong>of</strong><br />
their quarterback Scott<br />
VanDyken for the season, the<br />
Lakers bounced back to<br />
shutout Ferris State, 38-0, for<br />
their first win over the<br />
Bulldogs, defeat Saginaw<br />
Valley and Hillsdale, tie<br />
Northwood, and lose on a trick<br />
play to Northern Michigan, 21-<br />
17. 1976 was the year Grand Valley would receive national attention<br />
in more ways than one. It all started at Michigan Tech when<br />
Roger McCoy was credited with a 39-yard field goal although the<br />
ball never cleared the crossbar. Instead, the ball hit a public<br />
address wire some 50 feet in the air and the ball dropped straight<br />
down in front <strong>of</strong> the goal posts.<br />
A lengthy deliberation following was dominated by Michigan<br />
Tech coach Jim Kapp, who brought the ground rule to the attention<br />
<strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>ficials, that if that ball should hit the wire in flight,<br />
the down should be replayed. Kapp’s appeal was denied on the<br />
basis that he forgot to tell Grand Valley or the <strong>of</strong>ficials before the<br />
start <strong>of</strong> the game that the rule existed, and because the field goal<br />
was allowed, the Lakers walked away with a 10-8 victory. McCoy<br />
had set a GVSU record with a 60-yard field goal the previous<br />
week against Grand Rapids JC at Houseman Field.<br />
The Lakers get on the Map<br />
The game which put Grand Valley on the map was the season<br />
finale against Northern Michigan. The Wildcats came into<br />
Allendale as defending champions, boasting an 18-game winning
streak, ranked No. 1 in Division II and fresh <strong>of</strong>f an 82-7 whipping<br />
<strong>of</strong> Nebraska-Omaha.<br />
ABC television sent a crew to feature Northern Michigan, but<br />
it was the Lakers, playing 21 seniors who built up a 24-0 lead and<br />
went on to shock the Wildcats 31-14 before the then largest crowd<br />
in GV history at the time.<br />
Reflections <strong>of</strong> that game even hit the state legislature, when the<br />
Representative Dominic Jacobetti <strong>of</strong> Neguanee vowed he would<br />
eat a pasties’ box if Northern were to lose. Although humbled,<br />
Jacobetti was true to his word, and ate a piece <strong>of</strong> cake looking like<br />
a pasties’ box that was furnished by Grand Valley president Don<br />
Lubbers.<br />
Grand Valley Dominates the GLIAC<br />
Harkema’s teams had traditionally<br />
been built around<br />
defense and a solid running<br />
game. In 1977 he decided to go<br />
to the air and with senior quarterback<br />
Roy Gonzalez at the<br />
helm, a transfer from Toledo,<br />
the Lakers took to the air and<br />
won the first <strong>of</strong> three Great<br />
Lakes Conference<br />
Championships in a five year<br />
period.<br />
Gonzalez was followed by<br />
quarterbacks David Quinley,<br />
Steve Michuta, and Jeff Lynch,<br />
who gave GV the most feared<br />
passing in the GLIAC. They<br />
were also blessed with outstanding<br />
receivers in Clint<br />
Nash, Michael Woods, Rubick<br />
Chadwick, and Bill Lucksted as<br />
the Lakers averaged seven wins<br />
a year from 1977-82.<br />
Argument still exists over<br />
Harkema’s most successful<br />
team. The 1976 club, despite an<br />
8-2 record, and posting the<br />
biggest victory in the school’s<br />
history, finished second in the GLIAC and missed the NAIA play<strong>of</strong>fs.<br />
The First Play<strong>of</strong>f Year<br />
In 1978 with Quinley at the controls, the Lakers suffered early<br />
49-22 and 49-3 losses to Northern Michigan and Bowling Green,<br />
but bounced back to win eight straight games including a repeat<br />
<strong>of</strong> the GLIAC title and an NCAA play<strong>of</strong>f victory over Wisconsin-<br />
LaCrosse. The team lost at Elon (NC) <strong>College</strong> 14-7 in the semifinals<br />
<strong>of</strong> the NAIA play<strong>of</strong>fs and closed out with a 9-3 record, the<br />
most wins in GV history at the time. The 1981 season was similar<br />
to 1978 when the Lakers lost 21-20 to Northern Iowa and 29-<br />
28 to Northern Michigan, but bounced back to dominate the<br />
GLIAC and win their third title despite a rash <strong>of</strong> injuries which<br />
devastated the club.<br />
The Lakers Earn a New Stadium<br />
The Grand Valley football package was completed when the<br />
stadium and track complex named after its president, Arend D.<br />
Lubbers, was dedicated on September 15, 1979. The majority <strong>of</strong><br />
these gifts included contributions from Laker football fans and<br />
private donors. The stadium was built around the existing PAT<br />
field with permanent seating for 4,146 fans. Beside the<br />
stadium/track complex, the new practice fields and the new<br />
History Histor<br />
Lubbers Stadium under construction<br />
Fieldhouse, which replaced the Dome in 1982, gave GV one <strong>of</strong><br />
the finest Division II facilities in the Midwest. Harkema was on<br />
his way to building another winner when he accepted the head<br />
coaching job at Eastern Michigan. He resigned in November 1982<br />
and was replaced by Bob Giesey, Ball State assistant, in<br />
December <strong>of</strong> 1982.<br />
Giesey’s team lost the final two games <strong>of</strong> the season by two<br />
points, 31-30 to Northwood and 15-14 to Saginaw Valley to finish<br />
4-6. The ro<strong>of</strong> caved in the following year and GV went 0-10 and<br />
managed only 99 points for the season.<br />
Beck Turns GVSU into a Winner Again<br />
Giesey resigned and Athletic Director Dr. George MacDonald<br />
began a nationwide search which climaxed with the hiring <strong>of</strong> Tom<br />
Beck, a Chicago native, who came to Grand Valley from the<br />
Chicago Blitz <strong>of</strong> the United<br />
States <strong>Football</strong> League and<br />
who had turned losing programs<br />
into winning ones at<br />
Illinois Benedictine and<br />
Elmhurst <strong>College</strong>.<br />
It took Beck three games to<br />
get back on track in 1985.<br />
Faced with a 14-game losing<br />
streak, Beck made some key<br />
personnel changes. Beck<br />
installed Guy Schuler at quarterback<br />
and moved wide<br />
receiver Ray Buckner to tailback,<br />
linebacker Sylvester<br />
Johnson to fullback, and<br />
defensive tackle Brian<br />
Mulcahy to middle linebacker.<br />
The Lakers went out and<br />
defeated Evansville 28-14 and<br />
finished the year 6-5.<br />
The next five years would<br />
see explosive <strong>of</strong>fenses, outstanding<br />
players and solid<br />
coaching which would result<br />
in trips to the NCAA Division<br />
II play<strong>of</strong>fs, as well as the<br />
Lakers becoming a fixture in<br />
preseason and postseason rankings.<br />
Beck’s 1986 team posted a 9-2 record, but that was only an<br />
inkling <strong>of</strong> this to come.<br />
Undefeated in 1989<br />
After a pair <strong>of</strong> 7-4 seasons in 1987 and 1988, the Lakers posted<br />
their first undefeated regular season with an 11-0 record and<br />
the final Great Lakes Conference Championship in 1989. GV led<br />
Division II in total <strong>of</strong>fense, averaging 480.9 yards per game and<br />
also in points with 44.5.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the highlights <strong>of</strong> the 1989 season was GVSU’s record<br />
breaking 91-0 victory over Valparaiso. The Lakers jumped out to<br />
a 56-0 halftime lead as they rolled up 731 yards in total <strong>of</strong>fense.<br />
Freshman kicker Miguel Sagaro from Spain set a Division II<br />
record when he connected on 65 <strong>of</strong> 66 extra points for the season<br />
and sophomore fullback Eric Lynch scored 21 touchdowns. Lynch<br />
went on to begin an outstanding career with the Detroit Lions.<br />
Grand Valley finished third in the final 1989 Division II poll<br />
and earned the first <strong>of</strong> three consecutive play<strong>of</strong>f berths, losing to<br />
Indiana, PA, 34-24 on a frigid November afternoon highlighted by<br />
11 inches <strong>of</strong> snow on the ground.<br />
Grand Valley Joins MIFC, Wins Inaugural Crown<br />
In 1990, Grand Valley, along with GLIAC members Ferris<br />

State, Hillsdale, Northern Michigan, Saginaw Valley, and Wayne<br />
State, joined forces with the schools from the Heartland<br />
Conference which included Ashland, Butler, University <strong>of</strong><br />
Indianapolis, St. Joseph’s <strong>College</strong>, and Valparaiso to form the<br />
Midwest Intercollegiate <strong>Football</strong> Conference.<br />
The Lakers continued their winning ways, posting a 22-game<br />
regular season winning streak before falling at Hillsdale, 38-34.<br />
GV won the inaugural MIFC crown, finished with a 10-2 record<br />
and lost to East Texas State, 20-14, in the play<strong>of</strong>fs.<br />
Kelly Moves Up<br />
Beck left Grand Valley the following March to become an<br />
assistant at Notre Dame, and Athletic Director Mike Kovalchik<br />
filled the position with 28-year old Laker assistant Brian Kelly, a<br />
graduate <strong>of</strong> Assumption <strong>College</strong>, who continued to lead the<br />
Lakers to success on the gridiron.<br />
He posted his 20th and 30th wins<br />
faster than any <strong>of</strong> his predecessors,<br />
and going into the 2003 season has<br />
a 104-34-2 record in twelve seasons<br />
<strong>of</strong> competition.<br />
GV Defeats Defending National<br />
Champ, Goes To Play<strong>of</strong>fs For<br />
Third Straight Year<br />
Kelly’s first season was a roller<br />
coaster ride as the Lakers began by<br />
defeating defending Division II<br />
national champion North Dakota<br />
State, 21-17, in Fargo, breaking<br />
the Bison 25 game home winning<br />
streak as the Lakers became the<br />
first team to score a rushing TD in<br />
38 quarters. The following week<br />
Grand Valley was shutout 33-0 in<br />
the Butler Bowl. Kelly’s 1991<br />
team went on to post a 9-3 record,<br />
losing to East Texas State in the<br />
play<strong>of</strong>fs, 36-15.<br />
Grand Valley shared its second<br />
MIFC crown with Butler, Ferris,<br />
and Hillsdale in 1992 with an 8-3<br />
record. Kelly’s club returned to<br />
the play<strong>of</strong>fs in 1994 and posted an<br />
8-4 mark after losing to IUP in the<br />
first round.<br />
Kelly Continues Winning Tradition<br />
The Lakers posted back to back 8-3 seasons in ‘95 and ‘96, finishing<br />
second in the MIFC both years. GVSU earned a share <strong>of</strong><br />
the conference title in 1997, with a 9-2 overall record, and finished<br />
the MIFC season 9-1, with only a 30-27 overtime loss at<br />
Saginaw Valley State.<br />
Quarterback Jeff Fox led the Lakers to their second straight<br />
MIFC title and back into the play<strong>of</strong>fs in 1998 with a 9-1 conference<br />
mark. Fox became Grand Valley State’s first-ever Harlon<br />
Hill Award Finalist as he rewrote the GVSU single-season and<br />
career <strong>of</strong>fensive record books. The Lakers season was ended by<br />
Slippery Rock in the first round <strong>of</strong> the play<strong>of</strong>fs, 37-14.<br />
Kelly decided to go with a youth movement in 1999 and the<br />
inexperience showed as the Lakers stumbled to a 5-5 finish. The<br />
2000 season started slowly as a tough early schedule dropped<br />
GVSU to 0-3. However, the Lakers did not quite after the rough<br />
start and responded with a six-game winning streak to end the<br />
season at 7-4.<br />
In 2001 the dividends <strong>of</strong> getting young players some vaulable<br />
experience showed as the Lakers not only won their first- ever<br />

play<strong>of</strong>f game but advanced to the 2001 National Championship.<br />
Behind an <strong>of</strong>fensive attack like no Division II school before it,<br />
Grand Valley posted a perfect 10-0 regular season with an average<br />
<strong>of</strong> 58.4 points per game and 48.0 average margin <strong>of</strong> victory.<br />
GVSU’s march to the championship game was not easy, however,<br />
as quarterback and Harlon Hill Finalist Curt Anes, was injured in<br />
the Lakers’ first play<strong>of</strong>f game. Grand Valley responded with a<br />
first round 42-14 victory over Bloomsburg, a 33-30 second round<br />
win over Saginaw Valley State, and a semifinal win over Catawba<br />
<strong>College</strong>, 34-16, with two back up quarterbacks. In the championship<br />
game against North Dakota the Lakers took a 14-10 lead<br />
with 2:46 left in the game, but the Fighting Sioux responded with<br />
a last minute drive <strong>of</strong> their own to take the title, 17-14.<br />
Finish what we started was the motto <strong>of</strong> the 2002 season.<br />
Curt Anes returned from a serious knee injury to guide GVSU to<br />
a perfect 10-0 regular season mark.<br />
GVSU defeated three ranked<br />
teams en route to the undefeated<br />
season. The play<strong>of</strong>fs began with a<br />
convincing 62-13 win over C.W.<br />
Post. Then came a matchup against<br />
longtime nemesis Indiana (Pa.).<br />
GVSU entered the game 0-6<br />
against the Indians all-time, however,<br />
scored on its first eight possessions<br />
in the first half and built a<br />
50-7 lead. The Lakers cruised to a<br />
62-21 win and advanced to the<br />
NCAA DII semifinals. Grand<br />
Valley State again jumped out to<br />
an early lead and never looked<br />
back with an impressive 44-7 victory<br />
over Northern Colorado. The<br />
win advanced GVSU to the NCAA<br />
DII National Championship game<br />
for the second straight year. The #1<br />
ranked Lakers squared <strong>of</strong>f against<br />
#2 Valdosta State for a winner take<br />
all game. GVSU led 17-6 at the<br />
half and 24-6 midway through the<br />
fourth quarter. However, VSU<br />
scored 18 unanswered points to tie<br />
the game with just over three minutes<br />
remaining. Anes, who won the<br />
Harlon Hill Award as the DII Player<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Year less than 24 hours earlier,<br />
drove the Lakers 68 yards in 2:05 for a TD to give GVSU the<br />
2002 NCAA DII National Championship. Anes hit All-American<br />
David Kircus on a 10-yard pass for the winning score. Grand<br />
Valley State went wire-to-wire as the top-ranked team in Division<br />
II and finished with a perfect 14-0 record.<br />
Following “Finish What We Started” in 2002, the 2003 motto<br />
was “Tradition Never Graduates”. Gone from the 2002 team were<br />
25 seniors that concluded their careers with back-to-back appearances<br />
in the NCAA DII Championship game. However, someone<br />
forgot to tell the the 2003 squad that the run was over. The 2003<br />
campaign started with a road win over perennial DII power UC<br />
Davis that was now a IAA school. GVSU limited the high-powered<br />
Aggie <strong>of</strong>fense to just two field goals, while GVSU’s All-<br />
American placekicker, David Hendrix, booted three field goals,<br />
the final one coming in overtime to give a young GVSU squad a<br />
9-6 win. A resounding win over West Michigan rival Ferris State<br />
followed as the Laker defense scored a pair <strong>of</strong> TDs. Wins over<br />
Wayne State, Hillsdale, Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan<br />
built the Lakers’ overall winning streak to 20 games and the conference<br />
streak to 29 games. A date with fourth-ranked Saginaw
Valley State was next on the ledger and GVSU and GLIAC record<br />
crowd <strong>of</strong> 12,832 attended the much anticipated contest at Lubbers<br />
Stadium. GVSU turnovers and miscues filled the second half and<br />
the Cardinals capitalized to claim a 34-20 victory. GVSU<br />
regrouped and notched a 33-14 win at Northwood to build<br />
momentum towards another play<strong>of</strong>f run. However, this play<strong>of</strong>f<br />
run would have to be done on the road as GVSU entered the play<strong>of</strong>fs<br />
seeded third in the Northeast Region. The Lakers opened with<br />
a 65-36 win at Bentley <strong>College</strong> that set up a rematch with SVSU.<br />
Scott Mackey picked <strong>of</strong>f a pass late in the second quarter to score<br />
the games only TD and give GVSU a 10-3 win. A win (31-3) in<br />
south Texas over Texas A&M-Kingsville propelled GVSU into its<br />
third straigth NCAA DII Championship game. A familar foe,<br />
North Dakota, was on the docket in a game that was sure to be a<br />
defensive battle. GVSU led 3-0 in the third quarter, but UND was<br />
deep in Laker territory and looking<br />
to take the lead before junior defensive<br />
back Lucius Hawkins made the<br />
play <strong>of</strong> the game. Hawkins forced a<br />
fumble by the Sioux QB that he in<br />
turn picked up and raced 59 yards to<br />
the North Dakota 20-yard line. All-<br />
American Michael Tennessee<br />
scored three plays later from three<br />
yards out to give GVSU a 10-0 lead.<br />
GVSU led 10-3 in the closing minutes<br />
as North Dakota was driving.<br />
Senior linebacker Mike Hoad would<br />
have none <strong>of</strong> that and picked <strong>of</strong>f a<br />
pass on the Laker 10 to preserve the<br />
win and give GVSU back-to-back<br />
NCAA DII National<br />
Championships. The 2003 GVSU<br />
senior class etched their names in<br />
the record books by becoming just<br />
the second team (North Alabama) in<br />
NCAA DII history to make three<br />
consecutive trips to the title game.<br />
The Laker seniors were 47-2 in their<br />
final 49 games and tallied a fouryear<br />
GLIAC record <strong>of</strong> 34-4.<br />
Chuck Martin Takes Over The<br />
Reins Of Laker <strong>Football</strong><br />
The 2004 season opened the era <strong>of</strong> a new mentor as Brian Kelly<br />
left following the 2003 season to take the head coach job at<br />
Central Michigan. Enter Chuck Martin as the fifth head coach in<br />
the history <strong>of</strong> the Laker football program. Martin won more<br />
games (10) than any <strong>of</strong> the four previous head coaches in their<br />
first year at the helm. In addition, the Lakers advanced to the<br />
NCAA DII Quarterfinals for the fourth straight year. The 2004<br />
Laker seanior class concluded their careers with a 51-5 record,<br />
including two National Championships and three title game<br />
appearances. The 51 wins by the Laker senior class tied the DII<br />
record for wins in a career. DT Keyonta Marshall became<br />
GVSU’s first-ever three-time All-American and Grand Valley<br />
State continued to set single-season attendance records with a single-game<br />
average <strong>of</strong> 10,799 in 2004.<br />
National Championship Number Three<br />

GVSU swept through the regular season with a perfect 9-0<br />

after a 14-10 comeback win at Ashland on Sept. 17. The Lakers<br />
claimed a pair <strong>of</strong> impressive wins in October over nationallyranked<br />
opponents. GVSU claimed a 31-10 victory over #4<br />

Saginaw Valley State and then one week later tallied a 30-14 win<br />
at #5 Northwood. The Lakers’ final game <strong>of</strong> the regular season<br />
was cancelled due to lightning on a November night.<br />
GVSU received a bye as the top seed in the Northwest Region<br />
and opened the play<strong>of</strong>fs with a familar foe in North Dakota.<br />
GVSU dominated the contest defensively and had all the points<br />
they needed by the half (14-0) en route to a 17-3 victory. A<br />
rematch with Saginaw Valley State was next and the Cardinals<br />
built a 14-7 halftime lead. However, a crucial TD on fourth-andone<br />
tied the game in the third quarter and GVSU added 10 more<br />
points to claim a 24-17 victory. The semifinals were next and East<br />
Stroudsburg (Pa.) was all that stood between the Lakers another<br />
trip to Florence. The Warriors didn’t stand in the way long and<br />
GVSU raced out to a 41-0 lead midway through the second quarter<br />
and went on to claim a 55-20 victory.<br />
The Lakers trailed Northwest<br />
Missouri State 17-14 midway<br />
through the fourth quarter when<br />
they started their National<br />
Championship game-winning drive.<br />
Junior QB Cullen Finnerty hit WR<br />
Eric Fowler with a key third-down<br />
pass to keep the drive alive. Senior<br />
WR Brandon Langston thought he<br />
let the title slip away when a<br />
Finnerty pass just slipped through<br />
his hands. However, Finnerty came<br />
back to the Lakers’ playmaker later<br />
in the drive and boy did he prove<br />
worthy <strong>of</strong> the task. Langston took a<br />
screen pass and raced 35 yards to<br />
paydirt to give GVSU a 21-17 lead<br />
with just over four minutes remaining.<br />
The Bearcats picked up a couple<br />
<strong>of</strong> first downs and had one final<br />
play from the Laker 25 with one tick<br />
left on the clock. The pass was completed,<br />
but senior safety Joe Ballard<br />
and sophomore linebacker Kirk<br />
Carruth made sure it was short <strong>of</strong> the goal line and GVSU had its<br />
third DII football National Championship in four years. The victory<br />
also enabled the Laker senior class to pick up their 51st victory<br />
against just four losses to establish the top victory total and<br />
best winning percentage in a four-year period. The Lakers placed<br />
18 on the All-GLIAC team, including nine first-teamers. DT Mike<br />
McFadden was named the GLIAC Defensive Lineman <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Year, while Cullen Finnerty was named the Offensive Back <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Year. McFadden and OT Josh Bourke were consensus all-americans.<br />
McFadden was named the Gene Upshaw Award winner as<br />

Jeff Fox (1998), Eric Lynch<br />
(1989-90), and Curt Anes<br />
(2001) finished among the<br />
top eight for the<br />
Harlon Hill Award,<br />
which is awarded to<br />
the the best player<br />
in Division II.<br />
Curt Anes claimed<br />
Division II's top individual<br />
honor while leading<br />
Grand Valley State to its<br />
first National Championship.
Along with advancing to the NCAA Division II<br />
Championship game in four <strong>of</strong> the past five seasons<br />
and winning three National Championships, the<br />
Lakers currently own the highest winning<br />
percentage in NCAA DII football history.<br />
From Grand Valley State's first all-american in<br />
1974 to the 2002 season when 11 Lakers garnered<br />
various all-american honors, GVSU has produced<br />
some <strong>of</strong> the best players in the country. Since 2001,<br />
the Lakers have had at least five players earn allamerican<br />
plaudits in each season.<br />

Arguably the best and most<br />
explosive team Division II<br />
history, the 2002 season saw<br />
GVSU tally 11 all-americans,<br />
while the Lakers went wireto-wire<br />
as the #1 team in the<br />
nation. Grand Valley capped<br />
<strong>of</strong>f the season with a 31-24<br />
victory over Valdosta State<br />
for the national title.
GVSU completed it’s<br />
second undefeated regular<br />
season in 2002, on it’s way<br />
to winning the GLIAC title<br />
for the second consecutive<br />
year. The Lakers would go<br />
on an amazing play<strong>of</strong>f run<br />
before returning to<br />
Alabama to face Valdosta<br />
State.<br />
Grand Valley posted an<br />
average margin <strong>of</strong> victory<br />
<strong>of</strong> 42 points in three play<strong>of</strong>f<br />
games versus C.W.<br />
Post, IUP, and Northern<br />
Colorado.
In 2003, the Lakers continued<br />
their winning ways after<br />
graduating 13 starters from<br />
the 2002 season. Scott Mackey<br />
led a strong defensive unit as<br />
the team battled through five<br />
consecutive road games to<br />
return to Florence and defeat<br />
Division II rival, North<br />
Dakota, 10-3.
GVSU's impressive 20-game<br />
winning streak came to an<br />
end in the middle <strong>of</strong> the<br />
season, but the Lakers would<br />
later prove they were still the<br />
best team in the country.<br />
GVSU travelled 13,232 miles<br />
and won 10 games away<br />
from the friendly confines<br />
<strong>of</strong> Lubbers Stadium to<br />
sucessfully defend their<br />
National Championship.
The Lakers again returned to<br />
Florence, Ala. making their<br />
fourth appearance on ESPN<br />
in just five seasons.<br />
Grand Valley<br />
claimed it’s<br />
third national<br />
championship in<br />
four seasons in 2005.<br />
AFCA Coach <strong>of</strong> the Year,<br />
Chuck Martin, led the Lakers<br />
to a second undefeated championship<br />
season in just his second<br />
campaign as the head coach.<br />
Grand Valley State became just<br />
the third school to win three<br />
Division II football national<br />
championships.<br />
The Lakers once again used last<br />
second heroics to claim the<br />
national championship by the<br />
score <strong>of</strong> 21-17 in 2005, stopping<br />
NW Missouri State’s final<br />
attempt just short <strong>of</strong> the goal<br />
line.
The Lakers have played<br />
against the best Division II<br />
football has to <strong>of</strong>fer. GVSU<br />
has defeated traditional<br />
powers from California,<br />
North Dakota, Texas,<br />
Colorado, Georgia,<br />
Massachusetts, and<br />
Missouri. Grand Valley also<br />
plays in one <strong>of</strong> the strongest<br />
conferences in the country<br />
(GLIAC).
“When you look back at the<br />
32 year history <strong>of</strong> Division II<br />
football, only two programs<br />
can make a case for exceeding<br />
what Grand Valley has<br />
accomplished over the past<br />
five seasons.”<br />
-Bob Eblen<br />
d2football.com
Grand Valley’s winning<br />
tradition has given the<br />
Lakers four opportunities<br />
to play on ESPN in the<br />
Division II national championship<br />
game in front <strong>of</strong> a<br />
national stage. In 2003, the<br />
Lakers played in the most<br />
watched college football<br />
game in the month <strong>of</strong><br />
December.<br />
The nation had it’s first<br />
chance to see the Lakers<br />
play at home in Allendale<br />
when ESPNU televised the<br />
first national broadcast<br />
from Lubbers Stadium.
GVSU has appeared a number<br />
<strong>of</strong> times in Sports Illustrated<br />
because <strong>of</strong> its success in the<br />
past five years. The Lakers<br />
have also been highlighted<br />
twice in the “Leading Off”<br />
section <strong>of</strong> the magazine.
The Laker Country student section in the south endzone is one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the most intimidating student sections for opposing players<br />
to encounter.<br />
“The crowd [GVSU student section]<br />
was extremely loud. We had a difficult<br />
time at that end <strong>of</strong> the field the whole<br />
game. They are one <strong>of</strong> the loudest<br />
crowds we’ve played in front <strong>of</strong>.”<br />
-Bob Biggs, UC Davis head coach<br />
after GVSU defeated UC Davis<br />
in 2002

GVSU boasts some <strong>of</strong> the best facilities in Division II football. The<br />
football center is a part <strong>of</strong> Lubbers Stadium and has a state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art<br />
locker room, training room, player meeting rooms, tradition room,<br />
equipment room, and the Rob Odejewski weight room which was<br />
added just before the 2002 season. The Lakers also practice on two<br />
full-size football fields located near Lubbers Stadium.<br />
In order to improve the Lubbers Stadium experience, Grand Valley<br />
added a Provision display board. The video display and Dactronics<br />
scoreboard were added to the <strong>Football</strong> Center before the 2005 season.

HARLON HARLON<br />
HILL AWARD ARD<br />
The Harlon Hill Trophy annually goes to the top football player<br />
in Division II, recognizing that individual as the NCAA Division II<br />
Player <strong>of</strong> the Year. Four Laker football players have been nominated<br />
a total <strong>of</strong> seven times for the Harlon Hill Award. Michael Tennessee<br />
(2003) is the most recent nominee for the DII Player <strong>of</strong> the Year<br />
Award and joins the likes <strong>of</strong> Curt Anes (2001-02), Jeff Fox (1997-<br />
98) and Eric Lynch (1990-91) who have the right to be mentioned<br />
among the top players in Division II football. Tennessee was one <strong>of</strong><br />
six nominees from the Northeast region to move on to the 24-member<br />
national ballot. Prior to 2002, quarterback Curt Anes recorded<br />
the Lakers’ highest finish in the Hill Award voting in 2001 when<br />
he finished second behind Valdosta State’s Dusty Bonner. Anes garnered<br />
the most first-place votes (52), but finished eight points (201)<br />
behind Bonner’s total <strong>of</strong> 209. Laker quarterback Jeff Fox finished<br />
third in the Harlon Hill Award voting in 1998 with 76 points and two<br />
first-place votes. Fox was one <strong>of</strong> the 24 nominees in 1997. Former<br />
Laker running back Eric Lynch finished tied for sixth in 1989 and<br />
eighth in 1990.<br />
North Dakota State’s Jeff Bentrim won the first Harlon Hill<br />
Trophy in 1986. Johnny Bailey <strong>of</strong> Texas A&M-Kingsville is the only<br />
three-time winner (1987-88-89) and one <strong>of</strong> only two players to win<br />
the Hill Trophy more than once (Dusty Bonner, 2000-01).<br />
QB Jeff Fox finished third in<br />
the 1998 Harlon Hill voting.<br />
Fox completed 236-<strong>of</strong>-394<br />
passes for 3,260 yards and 30<br />
TDs. Fox led GVSU to the<br />

GENE UPSHAW UPSHA AWARD ARD<br />
Mike McFadden Wins 2005 Gene Upshaw Award<br />
SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. –<br />
Mike McFadden, a junior<br />
defensive lineman on Grand<br />
Valley State University’s<br />
NCAA Division II national<br />
championship team, has<br />
been selected as the recipient<br />
<strong>of</strong> the 2005 Gene<br />
Upshaw Division II<br />
Lineman <strong>of</strong> the Year Award,<br />
sponsored by the Manheim<br />
Touchdown Club.<br />
A 6-foot-1, 255-pound<br />
native <strong>of</strong> Saginaw, Mich.,<br />
and a graduate <strong>of</strong> Heritage<br />
High School, McFadden<br />
nipped University <strong>of</strong> South Dakota <strong>of</strong>fensive lineman Brian<br />
Alderson; Bloomsburg (Pa.) University <strong>of</strong>fensive lineman<br />
Jahri Evans; and Northwest Missouri State University defensive<br />
lineman Dave Tollefson in an extremely close race for<br />
this year’s Upshaw Award.<br />
McFadden is the second recipient <strong>of</strong> the Upshaw<br />
Award, which was presented in 2004 to Pittsburg State<br />
(Kans.) <strong>of</strong>fensive lineman Nathan Baker.<br />
The Upshaw Award winner is selected by the sports information<br />
directors <strong>of</strong> the 150 football-playing NCAA Division II<br />
institutions and is named in honor <strong>of</strong> the current Executive<br />
Director <strong>of</strong> the National <strong>Football</strong> League Players<br />
Association. Gene Upshaw was a standout lineman at Texas<br />
A&I University (now Texas A&M-Kingsville) before achieving<br />
All-Pro status six times during his 16-year career with the<br />
NFL Oakland Raiders. He was elected to the Pro <strong>Football</strong><br />
Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame in 1987, his first year <strong>of</strong> eligibility and has<br />
served as the NFLPA executive director since 1983.<br />
McFadden’s efforts in his first three seasons certainly caught<br />
the eye <strong>of</strong> the former NFL standout for whom the Upshaw<br />
Award is named.<br />
“I congratulate Mike McFadden on being the winner<br />
<strong>of</strong> this year’s Division II Lineman <strong>of</strong> the Year Award,” Gene<br />
Upshaw said. “He truly had a magnificent season.<br />
“With a quarterback sack in 13 consecutive games this fall,<br />
he had to be an <strong>of</strong>fensive lineman’s nightmare,” Upshaw<br />
added. “Opposing <strong>of</strong>fensive coordinators had to know where<br />
he was at all times.<br />
“I have to say, though, that I wasn’t real happy to see<br />
him have the kind <strong>of</strong> game he played against my alma mater<br />
in the 2003 (NCAA Division II) play<strong>of</strong>fs, when [Grand<br />
Valley State] beat Texas A & M Kingsville 31-3,” Upshaw<br />
continued. “You could see even then, as a freshman, that he<br />
had a very bright future ahead <strong>of</strong> him.”<br />
Prior to receiving the Upshaw Award, McFadden was<br />
named as a consensus first-team All-America selection. He<br />
earned that elite status from the American <strong>Football</strong> Coaches<br />
Association, Daktronics, Inc. and D2<strong>Football</strong>.com.<br />
McFadden was also named as the Great Lakes<br />
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) “Defensive<br />
Lineman <strong>of</strong> the Year” and was a first-team all-conference<br />
selection.<br />
He concluded his junior campaign as the national<br />
co-leader in quarterback sacks with 19 and was third in the<br />
nation in tackles for loss with 21.5 (-110 yards). He recorded<br />
at least one quarterback sack and tackle for loss in each<br />
<strong>of</strong> Grand Valley State’s 13 games last fall, a run that resulted<br />
in the Lakers winning their third national title in the last<br />
four seasons.<br />
Despite playing the entire game with a hip flexor<br />
injury, McFadden recorded one QB sack (-7 yards) in<br />
Grand Valley State’s national championship-game win over<br />
Northwest Missouri State. He recorded five tackles, four<br />
tackles for loss (-13 yards) and three QB sacks (-12 yards)<br />
in less than two quarters <strong>of</strong> action in the Lakers’ national<br />
semifinal win over East Stroudsburg (Pa.). McFadden, the<br />
only junior among the eight national finalists for this year’s<br />
Upshaw Award, is currently tied for the GVSU career<br />
record for QB sacks with 29. His 2005 total <strong>of</strong> 19 set a<br />
school single-season record. He was the Lakers’ No. 2 tackler<br />
with 83.

The No. 2 ranked Lakers were well on their way to a 42-14 victory over Bloomsburg (Pa.)<br />
in a first-round Division II play<strong>of</strong>f game at Lubbers Stadium when they gathered around injured<br />
quarterback Curt Anes as he was being placed on a trainer’s cart at the 50-yard line.<br />
“We decided we were going to do this for Curt,” junior wide receiver David Kircus said.<br />
“He’s carried us all year long. I saw Curt at halftime and it brought a tear to my eye to see<br />
him in so much pain.”<br />
Anes injury was diagnosed as a dislocated left knee. He was taken to Saint Mary’s<br />
Hospital for further evaluation.<br />
Redshirt freshman Todd Wojciechowski took over and guided Grand Valley to two secondhalf<br />
touchdowns as the Lakers (11-0) completed the first play<strong>of</strong>f win in school history.<br />
The Lakers will host Saginaw Valley State (11-1) next Saturday in a rematch <strong>of</strong> Great Lakes<br />
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference teams. The Cardinals, who lost to Grand Valley 38-7 on<br />
Sept. 8, rallied to beat Indiana (Pa.) 33-32 Saturday.<br />
Anes is one <strong>of</strong> eight finalists for the Harlon Hill Award, presented annually to Division II’s<br />
top player. He had 48 touchdown passes and ran for five TDs in the regular season and made a<br />
major first-half contribution to Saturday’s victory by throwing a 10-yard pass to Kircus and<br />
running 29 yards for another score.<br />
Running back Reggie Spearmon scored on 1, 1, and 4 yards for Grand Valley. He rushed<br />
for 94 yards, complementing the passing attacks that saw Kircus finish with eight receptions for<br />
172 yards.<br />
Defensive back Darren Smith returned an interception 35 yards for Grand Valley’s first<br />
touchdown. The Lakers’ defense shut down Bloomsburg in the second half as linebacker<br />
Clarence Lindsay and safety Dustin Cole finished with 10 tackles each.<br />
“We lost to a fine football team.” Bloomsburg coach Danny Hale said. “I really, really am<br />
saddened by Anes’ injury. He’s a real leader, I’d like to see what (Grand Valley) could do with<br />
him throughout this play<strong>of</strong>f”<br />
The Lakers, playing in their first postseason game in three seasons, had been 0-5 in Division<br />
II play<strong>of</strong>f contests.<br />
“If our defense continues to play the way it plays, we feel we can keep playing this game<br />
for a national championship,” Kelly said.

Brian Kelly’s voice pierced the din in the jubilant Grand Valley State locker room.<br />
“This was a game for the ages,” the Lakers’ coach told his football players Saturday. “This<br />
is our moment.”<br />
No. 2-ranked Grand Valley rode raw emotion and the confidence <strong>of</strong> a third-string quarterback<br />
to a 33-30 victory over Saginaw Valley State at rainy and windswept Lubbers Stadium and<br />
a berth in the NCAA Division II national semifinals.<br />
Sophomore Ryan Brady threw two touchdown passes in the second half and ran for a third<br />
TD as the Lakers (12-0) beat Grand Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference rival Saginaw<br />
Valley (11-2) for the second tme this season.<br />
The Lakers, who hadn’t won a play<strong>of</strong>f game in school history until this season will meet No.<br />
9 Catawaba (N.C.) in next Saturday’s semifinals. The site <strong>of</strong> the game will be decided today in<br />
a conference call with NCAA <strong>of</strong>ficials.<br />
Brady, a starting wide receiver for the Lakers, was pressed into service at quarterback late in<br />
the second quarter when starter Todd Wojciechowski suffered a rib injury.<br />
“I’ve always been a quarterback at heart,” Brady, who ran for 88 yards on 22 carries and<br />
completed three <strong>of</strong> seven passes for 59 yards and one TD. “I always knew if anything drastic<br />
happened or an emergency had to come, I would get thrown in there.”<br />
Brady’s 3-yard run with 5:34 left in the game was the winning touchdown. He also threw<br />
an 11-yard TD pass to tight end Phil Condon, a 38-yarder to Kircus and ran out the clock in the<br />
last 3:27 after Saginaw Valley cut the gap to 33-30.<br />
Kircus caught 25- and 3- yard TD passes from Wojciechowski in the first half as Grand<br />
Valley rallied from a 10-0 deficit. Kircus has 32 TD catches this season.<br />
Grand Valley’s Lucius Hawkins had two interceptions to spark the Laker’s defense that was<br />
under constant pressure from Saginaw Valley quarterback Matt LaFleur, who Kelly called “one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the most creative” players he’s seen in 15 years <strong>of</strong> coaching at Grand Valley.<br />
“Our whole focus was on LaFleur,” said Grand Valley linebacker Clarence Lindsay, who had<br />
eight tackles and three sacks for nine yards in losses. “He’ll make it happen for them...but he<br />
can’t beat a team all by himself.”<br />
LaFleur showed his creativity in a 70-yard TD when he sc rambled to turn a failed pass play<br />
into a score. He also kept the Cardinals’ hopes alive with a desperate 33-yard fourth-down pass<br />
to LaFreniere on their last drive.<br />
“I can’t say enough about how disappointed I am right now,” LaFleur said. “I’m speechless<br />
basically.”<br />
The TD pass to Bartynski came with 3:27 left in the game, but Grand Valley ran out the<br />
clock.<br />
“I feel like we ran out <strong>of</strong> time,” Saginaw Valley coach Randy Awrey said. “I think we would<br />
have won the game if we had gotten the ball back”<br />

Grand Valley State University quarterbacks Ryan Brady and Todd Wojciechowski acknowledge<br />
that neither comes close to equaling the talents <strong>of</strong> Harlon Hill Trophy finalist Curt Anes.<br />
But together, Brady and Wojciechowski have been good enough in Anes’ absence to lead<br />
the Lakers and the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference to some uncharted waters.<br />
Grand Valley took advantage <strong>of</strong> a two-quarterback scheme, another strong running day by<br />
Reggie Spearmon and a stalwart defensive effort in a 34-16 triumph over Catawaba <strong>College</strong> in<br />
an NCAA Division semifinal game in front <strong>of</strong> 6,585 spectators at Lubbers Stadium.<br />
The outcome sends the Lakers (13-0) into Saturday’s 2 p.m. national championship game<br />
against North Dakota in Florence, Ala.<br />
Fourth-quarater touchdown runs <strong>of</strong> 1, 3, and 2 yards from Spearmon - part <strong>of</strong> the junior’s<br />
20-carry, 121-yard outing - allowed the Lakers to distance themselves from a Catawaba squad<br />
that never got its patented running attack rolling.<br />
“People said we couldn’t get this far when we lost Curt,” said defensive tackle Shad Risk,<br />
referring to the season-ending dislocated knee and torn posterior cruciate ligament Anes suffered<br />
in the postseason opener against Bloomsburg (Pa.) University. “Be we all united together.<br />
We’ve done it the entire play<strong>of</strong>fs.”<br />
GVSU accounted for 267 rushing yards and 397 total yards. Brady and Wojciechowski<br />
combined to complete 7 <strong>of</strong> 14 passes for 155 yards, including Wojciechowski’s 12-yard scoring<br />
pass to Terrance Banks early in the first quarter to tie the score at 7-7.<br />
Brady also gained 107 rushing yards on 23 attempts.<br />
Catawaba (11-2) opened the scoring when quarterback Luke Samples found Nick Means for<br />
a 27-yard touchdown pass midway through the first quarter.<br />
A key play came when the Lakers saftety Scott Mackey intercepted Samples and dashed 39<br />
yards for a touchdown with 54 seconds left in the second quarter for a 13-7 halftime advantage.<br />
A 25-yard field goal from Matt Gross got the Indians within 13-10 with 5:03 left in the<br />
third quarter. But the rest <strong>of</strong> the game belonged to the Lakers’ defense and Spearmon, who has<br />
now rushed 69 times in the play<strong>of</strong>fs for 328 yards and six touchdowns.<br />
“You have to give a lot <strong>of</strong> credit to Grand Valley to play with so much intensity in a great<br />
football environment,” said Catawabo coach David Bennett. “We did not capitalize early on<br />
field position, but Grand Valley did a great job changing up schemes. And on defense, their<br />
mentality is, ‘You’re not going to run it against us,’ and they use brute force to make sure you<br />
don’t.”<br />

North Dakota Wins First Division II <strong>Football</strong> Championship<br />
By BOB JOHNSON<br />
Associated Press Writer<br />
December 08, 2001 -<br />
FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) -- Jed Perkerewiez scored on a 1-yard with 29<br />
seconds to play as North Dakota outlasted Grand Valley State 17-14 on<br />
Saturday for its first NCAA Division II championship.<br />
Grand Valley State (13-1) appeared poised to win its first national championship<br />
when quarterback Ryan Brady scored his second touchdown <strong>of</strong> the<br />
day on a 12-yard run with 2:46 to play.<br />
North Dakota (14-1) then drove 80 yards in nine plays for the winning<br />
score. On fourth down with 38 seconds to play, Kelby Klosterman hit<br />
Luke Schleusner with a 58-yard pass to the 1. Perkerewiez scored on the<br />
next play.<br />
Perkerewiez ran 26 times for 96 yards to lead a North Dakota team that<br />
did most <strong>of</strong> its damage on the ground on an overcast, damp day.<br />
North Dakota took the lead with 12:55 to play on Klosterman's 9-yard<br />
run. The Fighting Sioux quarterback ran for 61 yards and completed 8 <strong>of</strong><br />
27 passes for 139 yards.<br />
For Grand Valley State, Brady and Todd Wojciechowski split quarterbacking<br />
duties, with Brady rushing for 89 yards. Wojciechowski was the<br />
Lakers' passing quarterback, completing 11 <strong>of</strong> 22 attempts for 128 yards.<br />
Brady, a receiver for much <strong>of</strong> the season, and Wojciechowski were filling<br />
in for injured Curt Anes, a finalist for Harlon Hill Trophy who suffered a<br />
season-ending knee injury in the Lakers' first play<strong>of</strong>f game.<br />
Grand Valley State led 7-3 at halftime after a sloppy first half that featured<br />
three missed field goals by North Dakota and two turnovers by the Lakers.<br />
The Fighting Sioux took the opening kick<strong>of</strong>f and drove 56 yards in 10<br />
plays to set up a 36-yard field goal by Cameron Peterka. The North<br />
Dakota kicker missed field-goal attempts from 47, 38 and 36 yards later in<br />
the half.<br />
The Lakers drove 70 yards in 10 plays late in the first quarter with Brady<br />
scoring on a two-yard-run. The drive featured both Grand Valley State<br />
quarterbacks, with Wojciechowski completing passes <strong>of</strong> 19 and 20 yards<br />
to David Kircus, and Brady setting up the score with an 18-yard run to the<br />
5.<br />
North Dakota's Mike O'Neil intercepted two <strong>of</strong> Wojciechowski's passes in<br />
the first half, including one at the goal line when the Lakers were threatening<br />
midway through the second quarter.

Grand Valley Claims Division II National Championship<br />
Florence, Ala. - Harlon Hill Award winner Curt Anes hit All-American wide<br />
receiver David Kircus with a 10-yard scoring pass with 1:04 left in the game to lift<br />
Grand Valley State to a 31-24 victory and the 2002 NCAA Division II <strong>Football</strong><br />
National Championship. The National Championship is the school's first-ever in a<br />
varsity sport.<br />
Valdosta State opened the scoring with a field goal at the 6:23 mark <strong>of</strong> the first<br />
quarter. The field goal capped an 8-play, 89-yard drive and put the Lakers behind<br />
for just the second time in 2002. The VSU lead didn't last long as GVSU went 58<br />
yards in just two plays. Anes hit Kircus with a 49-yard pass play, and Reggie<br />
Spearmon carried the ball in from 9-yards out to put the Lakers up 7-3. The<br />
Blazers were forced to punt on its ensuing drive and the Lakers struck quickly<br />
again. Anes hit Kircus again, this time with a 54-yards out and David Hendrix<br />
added the PAT to put the Lakers up 14-3. GVSU drove 23 yards in five plays and<br />
Hendrix hit a 38-yard field goal to put GVSU up 17-3. VSU added a field goal late<br />
in the second quarter to pull the Blazers within 11 (17-6) at the half.<br />
The Lakers forced a three and out to open the second half and the GVSU took<br />
advantage as Anes hit Kircus with a 67-yard scoring pass. Hendrix added the PAT<br />
and GVSU led 24-6. VSU scored it first TD <strong>of</strong> the game midway through the third<br />
quarter as Aaron Jenkins rambled in from seven yards out to cap a 14-play, 56-yard<br />
drive. GVSU missed a pair <strong>of</strong> scoring opportunities and the Blazers capitalized to<br />
close the margin. Will Rhody kicked a 43-yard field goal and on the Lakers next<br />
drive QB Curt Anes mishandled a shotgun snap and VSU's Tim Thompson jumped<br />
on it for TD. Buster Faulkner hit C.J. L<strong>of</strong>ton with the two-point conversion to tied<br />
the game at 24-24 with 3:09 left.<br />
Terrence Banks put the Lakers in good field position with a 30-yard kick<strong>of</strong>f<br />
return. Anes and Kircus then went to work. Anes hit Kircus with an 8-yard completion,<br />
then a 33-yard stop-n-go that covered 33 yards. Facing a third and nine<br />
from the VSU 26 yard line, Anes hit Kircus with a 10-yard completion. Spearmon<br />
ran six yards to the Blazer 10 yards to set up the winning score. Anes checked<br />
from a run play to pass play and hit Kircus with the National Championship winning<br />
score.<br />
Anes completed 23-<strong>of</strong>-36 passes for 361 yards and three TDs. Kircus caught a<br />
championship game record 11 passes for record 270 yards and three TDs. Terrence<br />
Banks caught nine passes for 66 yards, while Brent Lesniak rushed eight times for<br />
56 yards. Spearmon rushed 14 times for 29 yards. DB Melvin Estes and DL<br />
Keyonta Marshal led the defense with a combined 24 tackles and 12 tackles for<br />
loss (37 yards). Estes notched 12 tackles, six tackles for loss (-21) and 2.5 QB<br />
sacks, while Marshall chipped in 12 stops, six tackles for loss and one QB sack.<br />
LB Orlando Williams notched eight tackles, two tackles for loss and one QB sack.<br />
CB Darren Smith snagged a pair <strong>of</strong> interception and notched two pass deflections.<br />

Finnerty, Grand Valley bounce Bentley.<br />
By Howie Beardsley<br />
Neither a flashy Bently <strong>College</strong> passing attack nor a field littered with penalty flags could<br />
prevent Grand Valley State University from successfully beginning defense <strong>of</strong> its NCAA<br />
Division II football championship Saturday afternoon.<br />
Quarterback Cullen Finnerty threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns as Grand Valley<br />
throttled the Falcons, 65-36, in the first round <strong>of</strong> the play<strong>of</strong>fs.<br />
The redshirt freshman also carried 13 times for a game-high 92 yards to help the Lakers<br />
(11-1) overcome school records in penalties (18) and penalty yards allowed (172) before a<br />
standing-room crowd <strong>of</strong> 4,433 at Bentley Stadium.<br />
Brandon Langston had eight receptions for 148 yards and two scores, including a 93-yard<br />
grab, and returned two kick<strong>of</strong>fs for 101 yards. Staley caught six passes for 120 yards and a<br />
touchdown to highlight Grand Valley’s 535 yards <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fense.<br />
“We had a great game plan. We were confident we could put up a lot <strong>of</strong> points quickly,”<br />
Finnerty said after GVSU won its 17th straight road game.<br />
“They gave us a lot <strong>of</strong> looks that were really good for our quarterback runs, They were also<br />
keying on Michael (Tennessee), so we did a lot <strong>of</strong> play-action with him and I just kept the ball<br />
and had a lot <strong>of</strong> clear looks out there.”<br />
Tennessee, who led the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference with 1,295 rushing<br />
yards, had 79 yards and a 6-yard touchdown on 13 carries.<br />
“We knew they weren’t going to let us run the football with Michael,” said Lakers coach<br />
Brian Kelly, who played his college football at nearby Assumption (Mass.) <strong>College</strong>. “So we<br />
spread the field and probably had more no-back sets than we’ve had all year, and the one guy<br />
that is not defensible in that scheme is the quarterback.”<br />
“Cullen can run and throw the football. When you have that double threat, why not utilize<br />
him? You’re in the play<strong>of</strong>fs. You have to do what you have to do.”<br />
The decisive victory sends the Lakers to Saginaw Valley State next Saturday for the<br />
Northeast Region championship game.<br />
“We didn’t get the job done the first time with Saginaw Valley,” Staley said. “We can’t wait<br />
to get a second chance.”<br />
Bentley (10-1) leaned on quarterback Marc eddy, who completed 34 <strong>of</strong> 59 passes for 446<br />
yards and five touchdowns. Receiver Dallas Mall had 14 receptions for 170 yards and four<br />
touchdowns.<br />
Eddy, however, suffered five interceptions, and was sacked five times. Grand Valley free<br />
safety DeJuane Boone had two <strong>of</strong> those pick<strong>of</strong>fs, while strong safety Scott Mackey returned his<br />
school-record 16th career interception 37 yard for a touchdown.<br />
Safety Sean Roland and linebacker William Gray also made interceptions.<br />
“That was probably the best team we’ve ever played,” said 25-year Bentley coach Peter<br />
Yetten. “They’re a well-oiled machine with a lot <strong>of</strong> weapons and speed, and their size wore us<br />
down.”<br />
“Their (defensive) lineman and linebackers were really quick,” Eddy said. “They do a lot<br />
with their defense to confuse you.”<br />
“We felt the speed <strong>of</strong> our defense would be successful for us,” said Lakers defensive end<br />
Aaron Hein. “We knew they’d get their yards with their passing game, but we weren’t going to<br />
let them get anything when they carried the football.”<br />
David Hendrix added three field goals for Grand Valley and Mario Locricchio returned a<br />
blocked punt by Langston 34 yards for the first <strong>of</strong> Saturday’s 13 total touchdowns.<br />

Defense lifts Lakers past Sagianw to semifinals<br />
By Howie Beardsley<br />
University Center, Mich. - Heading into Saturday’s showdown between top-ranked Saginaw<br />
Valley State and defending NCAA Division II champion Grand Valley State, the game had all<br />
the hallmarks <strong>of</strong> an <strong>of</strong>fensive shoot-out.<br />
Grand Valley coach Brian Kelly knew better.<br />
All-america free safety Scott Mackey returned an interception 46 yards for a late<br />
second-quarter touchdown, and the Lakers’ defense bent but never broke throughout the chilly<br />
afternoon at Wicks Memorial Stadium to secure a 10-3 victory in the quarterfinals <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Division II play<strong>of</strong>fs.<br />
The Lakers (12-1) earned their 17th straight road win, their third northeast Region<br />
title in a row and a third consecutive trip to the national semifinals, where they will face Texas<br />
A&M-Kingsville.<br />
Texas A&M-Kingsville (11-1) defeated Central Oklahoma 49-6 for the West<br />
Region crown.<br />
“My expectations going into this game (were) different from what the media<br />
thought, because I thought it would be this kind <strong>of</strong> football game,” said Kelly, who is one win<br />
away from leading the Lakers to their third straight appearance in the Division II championship<br />
game.<br />
“They know what we do, we know what they do. It was going to be attention to<br />
the little things - field position, turnovers. The little details in games like this are what we<br />
coached hard on all week, and our kids executed from that standpoint.”<br />
Saginaw Valley, ranked No. 1 in the final Division II poll, had averaged 36.2<br />
points and 413.9 yards <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fense. Behind quarterback Mark Radlinski’s 27-for-46 passing for<br />
300 yards, the Cardinals had 346 yards and they reached the GVSU 2-, 7-, 29-, and 8-yard<br />
lines.<br />
But all they could show for it was Eric Houle’s 21 yard field goal on their opening<br />
possession.<br />
“It’s obviously important when you’re in the red zone (or inside the opponents’ 20<br />
yard line) to score points in a game like this, but neither <strong>of</strong>fense scored a touchdown,” said<br />
Cardinals coach Randy Awrey.<br />
“Grand Valley has a good defense, and they were able to get to our quarterback<br />
sometimes. Give them credit. They’re a good team, and we just had two <strong>of</strong> the best teams in<br />
the country play each other. It was a great game, and with these play<strong>of</strong>f situations, somebody<br />
has to go home and somebody gets to go on.”<br />
Led by four quarterback sacks on the part <strong>of</strong> linebacker, the Lakers recorded a season-high<br />
seven sacks. Radlinski, a junior from Grand Rapids Catholic Central, has been sacked<br />
just 13 times in his previous 12 games this year.<br />
In Saginaw Valley’s 34-20 at Grand Valley on Oct. 18, Radlinski was not sacked,<br />
and the Lakers turned the ball over six times.<br />
“The coaches put us in the best position to win, and we have to believe in them,”<br />
Hawkins said. “I just thank coach (Chuck) Martin (defensive coordinator) that he had confidence<br />
in the defense and me.”<br />
“We got to Mark the first time we played them, but the game obviously got out <strong>of</strong><br />
hand with the turnovers we had.” Kelly said. “We knew we could get pressure on him. We<br />
changed up some things in coverage. We brought Lucius and overloaded, and he used his speed<br />
to his advantage today.”<br />
Radlinski, the <strong>of</strong>fensive player <strong>of</strong> the year in the Great Lakes Conference, blamed<br />
himself for the sacks and the interception by Mackey.<br />
“We had our opportunities. We just got in that red zone and couldn’t punch it in,”<br />
he said. “They came out and pressured me pretty good.”<br />
“It’s my job to get the ball out <strong>of</strong> my hands (to avoid sacks). There’s a lot <strong>of</strong> times<br />
I didn’t do that. And I game them seven points. That’s on me. I’ll take the responsibility.”<br />
Mackey, a senior from nearby Bay City, said he simply got a good jump on a pass<br />
intended for Saginaw Valley wide receiver Mark LaFreniere to make the interception and then<br />
streak down the right side for the 46-yard touchdown return.

Victory Rush<br />
Tennessee carrier Lakers back to Alabama<br />
By Howie Beardsley<br />
Kingsville, Texas - Despite that wide grin that accompanies Michael Tennessee wherever he<br />
goes, the Grand Valley State University junior admitted to being a frustrated running back in<br />
each <strong>of</strong> the Lakers’ first two play<strong>of</strong>f games.<br />
Rightly so, since the defenses <strong>of</strong> Bentley (Mass.) <strong>College</strong> and Saginaw Valley State basically<br />
placed 11 guys on the line <strong>of</strong> scrimmage to stop the All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic<br />
Conference performer.<br />
Saturday afternoon, on a cold and sunny day in south Texas, Tennessee, with help from<br />
quarterback Cullen Finnerty, accepted a familiar challenge issued by Texas A&M University-<br />
Kingsville’s defense. This time, he made the Javelinas pay dearly in leading the Lakers to<br />
their third straight national title game appearance.<br />
Tennessee rushed 37 times for 155 yards and two touchdowns to turn the NCAA Division<br />
II semifinal showdown into a one-sided 31-3 GVSU victory before a Javelina Stadium crowd<br />
<strong>of</strong> 10,500.<br />
The Lakers will defend their title Saturday at 4 p.m. against the University <strong>of</strong> North<br />
Dakota, the team that defeated them in the 2001 national championship game.<br />
“Each week defenses give us something different, so we just take what we can get, and<br />
today they gave us the running game,” Tennessee said after carrying the defending national<br />
champions to their third straight trip to the national championship game at Florence, Ala.<br />
“We know if we can put points on the board in any way, our defense is going to do its job<br />
and keep points <strong>of</strong>f the board.”<br />
Finnerty did much <strong>of</strong> his damage on the ground as well, rushing for 117 yards and two<br />
touchdowns on 17 carries. The redshirt freshman passed just 17 times, completing eight for<br />
54 yards.<br />
The Javelinas, who averaged 197.4 rushing yards behind 1,500-yard running back Larry<br />
Williams, and 403.9 total yards, gained just 46 rushing yards and 130 total <strong>of</strong>fensive yards.<br />
They faltered against a Grand Valley defense that intercepted A&M-Kingsville quarterback<br />
Daniel Taylor three times, sacked him four times, and recovered two fumbles.<br />
“When you look at ball games where teams are so equal, it’s the ability to play great<br />
defense and run the football,” said GVSU coach Brian Kelly. “That’s really been our recipe,<br />
and finding a way to scratch out some points.”<br />
“That’s a very talented team in Texas A&M-Kingsville. We got some breaks. We got fortunate<br />
and were able to get some turnovers. And, again, we were able to control the clock to<br />
the point where we could shorten the game.”<br />
Grand Valley ran 80 <strong>of</strong>fensive plays, and possessed the ball for 37 minutes and 20 seconds.<br />
The Javelinas had the football for 22:40, and ran 48 plays.<br />
“That will get you some wins,” Kelly said when told A&M-Kingsville’s yardage total was<br />
130.<br />
The Lakers, whose last five games have been played away from Lubbers Stadium, have<br />
now won 19 straight road games. They are 10-1 over the last three seasons in postseason<br />
competition.<br />
“It was exceptional,” defensive tackle Keyonta Marshall said <strong>of</strong> Saturday’s defensive effort.<br />
“Our coaches do a great job every week getting us prepared to defend whoever we play. We<br />
knew what they were going to run before they ran it.”<br />
The setback was the first in the last 13 home games for A&M-Kingsville. It also ended the<br />
Javelinas’ 11-game winning streak.<br />
Finnerty’s 20-yard scamper down the left sideline midway through the first quarter gave<br />
GVSU a 7-3 lead. Then, with 1:01 remaining in the second quarter, Tennessee hit the middle<br />
<strong>of</strong> the line on a fourth-and-1 call at the Javelinas’ 30-yard line, squeezed through a mass <strong>of</strong><br />
bodies and sprinted to the end zone for a 14-3 GVSU lead.<br />
“You could tell we were wearing them down, and they were getting a little fatigued and<br />
frustrated,” Tennessee said. “That combination makes for a long day for those guys. They<br />
started to make mistakes, and we took advantage <strong>of</strong> those mistakes.”<br />
David Hendrix’s 23-yard field goal in the opening moments <strong>of</strong> the third quarter made it a<br />
17-3 advantage.<br />
The Lakers sealed the triumph with a lengthy fourth-quarter march. Behind the running <strong>of</strong><br />
Tennessee and Finnerty, Grand Valley rumbled 80 yards on 16 plays, and capped the drive<br />
with Finnerty’s 3-yard jaunt around the right side.<br />
Tennesse’s final touchdown came on a 15-yard run with 6:18 to play.<br />
“Quarterback runs are a big part <strong>of</strong> our <strong>of</strong>fense, and they worked for us in this one,”<br />
Finnerty said. “We have a great running back in Michael and a great <strong>of</strong>fensive line. Defenses<br />
like to key on Michael, so, here and there, we run the football with me, and there’s a lot <strong>of</strong><br />
easy open looks out there.”<br />
“Like Michael said, they were going for the big hit. I could tell when they were trying to<br />
tackle me that they were trying to strip the ball. That enabled me to keep my legs moving and<br />
break tackles.”<br />
Texas A&M-Kingsville began the day’s scoring with Richard Hammond’s 37-yard field<br />
goal. His kick came after an errant Finnerty lateral to Tennessee at the GVSU 25-yard line on<br />
the third play <strong>of</strong> the game.<br />
Last week, Saginaw Valley State also kicked a field goal on its first <strong>of</strong>fensive possession<br />
before being held scoreless the remainder <strong>of</strong> the day.<br />

Twice as Grand<br />
Lakers win their second consecutive Division II title<br />
By Alan Babbitt<br />
Florence, Ala. - A determined North Dakota football team could not break the will<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Grand Valley State University defense this time.<br />
The Lakers held <strong>of</strong>f a potential game-winning drive late, intercepting a pass<br />
near the goal line to preserve a 10-3 win in the NCAA Division II Championship<br />
Game Saturday.<br />
The effort in front <strong>of</strong> a Braly Municipal Stadium crowd <strong>of</strong> 7,236 allowed<br />
GVSU to become the sixth Division II team to win back-to-back national titles<br />
since the first championship game in 1973.<br />
Grand Valley (14-1) would be celebrating three titles in a row if North Dakota<br />
hadn't rallied in 2001 to beat the Lakers 17-14 with a fourth-quarter drive.<br />
“That was deja vu that North Dakota moved the ball down field," GVSU coach<br />
Brian Kelly said, referring to the game's dramatic finish. "Our defense has just<br />
answered the bell the past three weeks. They have not let up a touchdown now<br />
in 12 consecutive quarters <strong>of</strong> play<strong>of</strong>f competition. That's a lot to be said in<br />
terms <strong>of</strong> how we got back here.<br />
"We got back here on the backs <strong>of</strong> our defense."<br />
The defense sought redemption for a dejecting end to the 2001 contest<br />
against North Dakota.<br />
The Fighting Sioux edged Grand Valley two years ago when they scored on<br />
a 1-yard touchdown run with 29 seconds left.<br />
A 58-yard reception for a tight end <strong>of</strong>f a missed tackle set up the decisive<br />
score.<br />
This year, North Dakota were thinking <strong>of</strong> a similar end when GVSU's David<br />
Hendrix missed a 43-yard field goal with 3 minutes, 54 seconds remaining.<br />
The Fighting Sioux (12-2) moved up the field and put themselves in a 1stand-10<br />
at the Grand Valley 17-yard line. They downed the ball to stop the<br />
clock. The Lakers then forced two incomplete passes, including a third-down<br />
one that fell incomplete in the end zone.<br />
North Dakota quarterback John Bowenkamp looked to keep the drive alive<br />
on fourth quarter, but GVSU linebacker Mike Hoad stepped in front <strong>of</strong> the pass<br />
at the 5-yard line. The Lakers squashed the comeback bid.<br />
"We thought the defense had to step up a lot this year," said Hoad, a senior.<br />
"We had our backs up against the wall at the end. I think (the resilience) was<br />
typical <strong>of</strong> our seniors and our character."<br />
Hoad and his teammates would have been tested further had the Fighting<br />
Sioux got into the end zone. North Dakota, which missed two field goals during<br />
the game, would have gone for the go-ahead two-point conversion had they<br />
scored, according to Fighting Sioux coach Dale Lennon.<br />
Instead, North Dakota was dealing with a tough loss.<br />
"They beat us at our game," Lennon said.<br />
The low-scoring contest featured only a 19-yard David Hendrix field goal<br />
midway through the first quarter.<br />
The Lakers too the opening drive 79 yards in 17 plays before reaching the<br />
1-yard line and settling for a field goal. The drive was Grand Valley's secondlongest<br />
<strong>of</strong> the season.<br />
Neither team scored in the half. The 3-0 score was the lowest at halftime <strong>of</strong><br />
NCAA Division II Championship Game history since 1989 when Mississippi<br />
<strong>College</strong> and Jacksonville State were scoreless.<br />
North Dakota, which had not been shutout in a half this season, threatened<br />
right away in the third quarter, though<br />
The Fighting Sioux took the opening drive <strong>of</strong> the second half and marched<br />
63 yards to the GVSU 7-yard line. On third-and-four, quarterback John<br />
Bowenkamp dropped back to pass then scrambled to his right.<br />
A charging Grand Valley linebacker, Lucius Hawkins, hit Bowenkamp after<br />
he pump-faked and forced a fumble. Hawkins scooped up the football and<br />
raced 59 yards to the North Dakota 20-yard line.<br />
Four plays later, running back Michael Tennessee barrelled into the end<br />
zone from 1 yard out. Tennessee's 16th touchdown <strong>of</strong> the season and a Hendrix<br />
extra point put the Lakers ahead 10-0 with 9:15 remaining in the third quarter.<br />
The Fighting Sioux bounced back on their next series and set themselves up<br />
for a 43-yard field goal.<br />
Kicker Jeff Glas, however, slipped on his approach and Grand Valley defensive<br />
lineman Keyonta Marshall easily deflected the kick.<br />
Glas also pulled a 46-yard field goal in the first quarter. It was the fourth<br />
time this season Glas had missed at least two field goals in a game. Glas finally<br />
connected on a 35-yard field goal 9:47 into the fourth quarter.<br />
It wasn't enough.<br />
Grand Valley joined the 1999 Northern Colorado team as the only ones to<br />
win a national championship while never playing at a home.<br />
The Lakers won four road games in the play<strong>of</strong>fs and six in a row including<br />
the regular season.<br />
"It means a lot (to earn a national title by winning four consecutive games<br />
on the road.)," Kelly said. "They did it tough circumstances. Maybe they can<br />
get credit for being one <strong>of</strong> those all-time great teams."

Winona, Minn. - The Grand Valley State Laker football team lived to play again<br />
Saturday with a 16-13 come from behind victory Saturday at Winona State. GVSU (9-2)<br />
has now won nine straight play<strong>of</strong>f games and its senior class improved to 50-4 in their<br />
careers. The Laker win also snapped a 25-game home field winning streak for Winona<br />
State. Grand Valley State has now won 25-<strong>of</strong>-its-last-26 road games.<br />
Grand Valley State built a 9-0 halftime lead on three Scott Greene field goals, one in<br />
the first quarter and two in the second. The third was a 24-yarder with eight seconds left<br />
in first half. Winona State dominated the third quarter and scored a pair <strong>of</strong> TDs. Allamerican<br />
receiver Chris Samp hauled in an 18-yard TD pass from Ryan Eversman to<br />
pull the Warriors within a 9-7 margin. Winona State took their first lead <strong>of</strong> the game<br />
with a 7-play, 79-yard drive that running back Alex Wiese ended with a 2 yard run. The<br />
Warriors failed on the two-point conversion attempt and led 13-9.<br />
Grand Valley State's game-winning drive started at 14:44 mark <strong>of</strong> the fourth quarter<br />
when the defense forced a WSU punt. Mark Catlin returned the punt five yards to the<br />
GVSU 41 yard line to start the dive. Sophomore QB Cullen Finnerty hit freshman<br />
receiver Demonte Collins for 16 yards to pick up a key third and nine play. Following a<br />
a holding pentalty Finnerty hit Collins again, this one covering 19 yards to the WSU 31<br />
and a Laker first down. Finnerty then took over with runs <strong>of</strong> three and 15-yards to the<br />
Warrior 13. Finnerty rambled in from nine yards out to conclude the drive and give the<br />
Lakers a 16-13 lead. Each team punted in the closing minutes before Winona State had<br />
one last chance with a drive in the closing minute. However, a 45 yard field goal attempt<br />
as time expired was short and left.<br />
The Laker defense was stellar in the opening half, limiting WSU to 123 yards <strong>of</strong> total<br />
<strong>of</strong>fense, including -4 rushing yards on 18 carries. GVSU turned in a key couple <strong>of</strong> plays<br />
in the first quarter when they held the Warriors on a fourth and one play from the GVSU<br />
one yard line to thwart a 10-play, 80-yard drive. Anthony Adams led the GVSU defense<br />
with 13 total tackles and two tackles for loss. DeJuane Boone added eight tackles, while<br />
Michael McFadden chipped in eight tackles, four tackles for loss (-21) and a QB sack (-<br />
8). Lucius Hawkins picked <strong>of</strong>f a pass and returned it 29 yards to go along with his six<br />
tackles. GVSU tallied 15 tackles for loss and four QB sacks.<br />
The Laker <strong>of</strong>fense tallied 247 total yards, including 135 via the ground. Senior<br />
Michael Tennessee rushed for 100 yards on 23 carries and moved to within 45 yards <strong>of</strong><br />
the GVSU all-time rushing record. Tennesse has 3,323 yards in his career. Cullen<br />
Finnerty completed 10-<strong>of</strong>-20 passes for 112 yards. Finnerty also rushed for 40 yards and<br />
a TD on 16 carries. Demonte Collins hauled in five passes for 87 yards.<br />

Midland, Mich. - Grand Valley State used a tough running game, combined with an incredible<br />
defensive effort against the run to claim a 10-7 NCAA DII play<strong>of</strong>f victory in Midland,<br />
Michigan. Grand Valley State captured its 10th straight play<strong>of</strong>f win, including six straight<br />
away from Lubbers Stadium. The Laker senior class also tied an NCAA DII record with its<br />

<strong>of</strong> the game with an 8-play, 34-yard drive that ended the game.<br />
The Laker defense was dominent the entire game, but even more so in the second half.<br />

Grand Valley Wins a Thriller<br />
Lakers return home to warm welcome after securing<br />
the Division II title on game’s final play<br />
Detroit News wire services<br />
Florence, Ala. - Celebrating a national championship is starting to become routine<br />
for Grand Valley State football fans. More than 200 fans greeted the Lakers at<br />
the Grand Valley Fieldhouse Sunday, a day after the team won the school’s third<br />
NCAA Division II national championship in four years.<br />
After flying into Grand Rapids, coach Chuck Martin and his team were on campus<br />
for the first time since their 21-17 victory over Northwest Missouri State on<br />
Saturday in Florence, Ala. “We want to thank all our great fans and friends,”<br />
Martin said. “We have the best fans in Division II by far.”<br />
The Lakers, who also won the national title in 2002 and 2003, were runners-up in<br />
2001. Martin pointed out that all four games came down “to the last tick <strong>of</strong> the<br />
clock.”<br />
On the last play <strong>of</strong> Saturday’s game, from the Lakers’ 22-yard line, Northwest<br />
Missouri quarterback Josh Lamberson rolled right and hit Raphael Robinson inside<br />
the 5 on the opposite side <strong>of</strong> the field. Robinson spun, bu the Lakers brought him<br />
down four yards short to end the 81-yard drive and clinch the national championship.<br />
“We wanted to make sure it wasn’t a boring game for you,” Martin joked to Lakers<br />
fans. “I told the team that we wanted to make sure that another game came down<br />
to the end. Obviously, we found a way to make that last play.”<br />
Lamberson completed five consecutive passes to move the Bearcats downfield.<br />
They made it to the 17 but Lamberson was chased out <strong>of</strong> bounds by Rory<br />
Steinbach and Justin Ulberg for a loss on third down with just one second remaining.<br />
Northwest Missouri used its last timeout to set up the final play. Raphael<br />
Robinson was wide open briefly, but the defense swarmed after the ball and kept<br />
him out <strong>of</strong> the end zone. “I was very confident,” Lamberson said Saturday night.<br />
“That’s been the motto <strong>of</strong> our team - our backs against the wall. And they’ve been<br />
against the wall all year. So when we got in that huddle, it was like last week. We<br />
were very confident that we were going to move the ball down the field and score.”<br />
Grand Valley, ranked No. 1 in national Division II polls, ended its season 13-0.<br />
“It’s been a great season,” said Joe Ballard <strong>of</strong> Chesaning, who helped make the<br />
game-ending tackle. “I’ll miss everyone here. I hope they go get it again next<br />
year.”<br />
Senior wide receiver Brandon Langston <strong>of</strong> Northville caught a 35-yard touchdown<br />
pass from junior quarterback Cullen Finnerty <strong>of</strong> Brighton with 4:25 left for the<br />
winning score. Finnerty moved Grand Valley 82 yards after taking over midway<br />
through the fourth quarter. He converted three third-down plays on the drive. On<br />
third-and-four, he hit Langston on a slant pattern, and the receiver raced 35 yards<br />
for a score with 4:25 to play. “They gave me an inch <strong>of</strong> space and I got great<br />
blocks from Antoine Trent and Jeremy Cochrane,” Langston said. “I had the easy<br />
part, I just had to catch it and run down the field.”<br />
Ballard said he had one thing on his mind on the game’s last play. “I just wanted<br />
to keep him (Robinson) out <strong>of</strong> the end zone,” the Lakers safety said. “That was the<br />
biggest thing. We wanted to make sure we made the tackle.”<br />
Martin, the defensive coordinator <strong>of</strong> the first two championship teams, said each<br />
national title celebration has been enjoyable. “The journey is too far and still a lot<br />
<strong>of</strong> fun,” he said. It’s never old hat. If we go there again in the future, that moment<br />
would be just as special.”<br />
Northwest Missouri (11-4) was the first team to win four straight road play<strong>of</strong>f<br />
games, but lost for the first time in three championship game appearances. The<br />
Bearcats made the championship game with Raphael Robinson’s only touchdown<br />
catch <strong>of</strong> the season, a three-yarder with 23 seconds left to beat North Alabama the<br />
previous week, also at Braly Municipal Stadium.<br />
Coach Mel Tjeerdsma practically assumed Robinson would score and his team<br />
would pull out another improbable win. “I felt like we were going to win the game<br />
until he didn’t get in the end zone,” Tjeerdsma said. “I didn’t have any doubts.”
