Findlay, Ohio - Top-ranked Grand Valley State captured its 14th straight victory Saturday night in its season opener at Findlay by a 13-0 margin. The shutout<br />

was GVSU's first since the 2004 campaign when the Lakers claimed a 34-0 win over Wayne State. In addition, GVSU has shutout Findlay in each <strong>of</strong> the last two<br />

meetings between the schools. The Lakers claimed a 44-0 win in the final game <strong>of</strong> the 2003 season at Donnell Stadium.<br />

Grand Valley started in fine fashion with an impressive scoring drive on its second possession <strong>of</strong> the game. QB Cullen Finnerty hit senior WR Eric<br />

Fowler with a 21-yard TD pass at the 9:04 mark <strong>of</strong> the first quarter. Todd Carter added the PAT to give the Lakers a 7-0 lead. The season's first touchdown culminated<br />

a 4-play, 49-yard drive that took 1:54. GVSU took over its next possession on its own 1-yard line and drove 89 yards in 12 plays. Carter connected on a<br />

26-yard field goal to give the Lakers a 10-0 lead.<br />

"I thought we looked good <strong>of</strong>fensively in the first quarter, but then we just kind <strong>of</strong> lost our way in the second quarter," said third-year head coach<br />

Chuck Martin. "We started moving the ball again in the third quarter, but then we gave it away with a couple <strong>of</strong> turnovers. The defense bailed us out tonight and<br />

we need to find a way to get better on the <strong>of</strong>fensive side <strong>of</strong> the ball," added Martin.<br />

Findlay picked up its initial first down <strong>of</strong> the contest at the 12:13 mark <strong>of</strong> the second quarter. Neither team was able to score in the second stanza.<br />

GVSU tallied 244 yards <strong>of</strong> total <strong>of</strong>fense in the first half, while Findlay was able to muster just 78 yards, 32 <strong>of</strong> which came in their final drive <strong>of</strong> the first half.<br />

The Lakers ran 44 <strong>of</strong>fensive plays, compared to Findlay's 28.<br />

The Lakers turned the ball over twice in the third quarter in Findlay territory. The Oilers picked <strong>of</strong>f one pass in the Laker endzone and one inside<br />

the GVSU 20 yard line. GVSU continued to dominate defensively and the <strong>of</strong>fense put together a scoring drive midway through the fourth quarter. Carter connected<br />

on a 28 yard field goal to conclude a 14-play, 60-yard drive that took 7:18 <strong>of</strong>f the clock.<br />

The Laker defense held Findlay to just 161 yards <strong>of</strong> total <strong>of</strong>fense. Findlay gained 32 yards in the final drive <strong>of</strong> the first half and 64 yards in its final<br />

two drives in the fourth quarter. The Oilers rushed for 91 yards on 35 carries and completed 10-<strong>of</strong>-21 passes for 70 yards. Senior defensive tackle Derrick Jones<br />

tallied nine tackles and three tackles for loss (-5), while Anthony Adams chipped in nine tackles <strong>of</strong> his own. Senior all-american Mike McFadden extended his<br />

consecutive games streak with a QB sack to 14 with 1.5 quarterback sacks (-10). McFadden also became the all-time leader in QB sacks in Laker history with<br />

30.5. Joe Huhn was tied with McFadden at 29 heading into the game. GVSU notched 15 tackles for loss (-40 yards) and six QB sacks (-26).<br />

"Our defense was outstanding and they did a great job <strong>of</strong> stopping a quality running back in Michael Simpson," stated Martin. "We had a bunch <strong>of</strong><br />

guys flying to the ball and that is what I like to see."<br />

Offensively, Astin Martin rushed for 125 yards on 26 carries, while Finnerty completed 16-<strong>of</strong>-35 passes for 219 yards and one TD. Fowler led the<br />

receiving unit with four catches for 75 yards and one TD. Terry Mitchell caught three passes for 38 yards. Freshman punter Justin Trumble averaged 43.0 yards<br />

on six punts and Carter converted both field goal attempts.<br />
