Final:  Benedictine 31, Concordia-WI 20  (Down 21-20, the Falcons had a field goal attempt partially blocked, Benedictine took the ball on a 4 1/2 minute drive for a FG, on the next Falcon possession, Linn throws an INT for a Pick-6 to account for the difference.

IL Eagle ball control was the  key here (several drives of 7 minutes).

Eureka 51, Rockford 39 just over 10 minutes left in 4th.
                              (Gerard to  Bradford for another Red Devil TD, Ray to Cannon for another Regent score, then
                                     Red Devils just got another TD on a Gerard run)

As expected, both Lakeland and Aurora won big. (per CUW announcer).

[WLCALUM83]

Eureka/Rockford not over yet, Regents down 51-45 6 1/2 minutes left (Ray to Owens for yet another TD passing). Now the question is, can the Regents hold the Red Devil offense in check?

Yes, it did, L Johnson ran it in from 2 yards out, the score is tied at 51 with 35 seconds left! (extra point attempt  was blocked).

Hang on to your hats, folks, Rockford/Eureka is going to OT!

[WLCALUM83]

OT 1:  Eureka gets ball 1st. scores on a Hill TD run,

              58-51 Red Devils.

         Rockford response:  Another Ray to Owens TD, now, do the Regents extend this, or go for 2?

             Developing. . . .

[WLCALUM83]

Rockford went for 2, Ray's pass attempt failed

Eureka wins this track meet 58-57!

Heard Aurora is still receiving votes in the latest D3 Top 25 Poll.

Heard Aurora is still receiving votes in the latest D3 Top 25 Poll.

Truth. 17 points, in fact, so a handful of coaches are in on the Spartans and not just some rogue. Their NC outcomes send mixed signals for sure.

AU is kind of in no mans land until the playoffs... Hope they get another shot and are able to prove themselves on the national stage.
