The Cardinals' line dominated the line of scrimmage for a fourth straight week as North Central outrushed Carthage, 272 to minus-36, in a 43-8 victory. The Cardinals kept the Red Men's potent offense off the field by dominating time of possession, 36:58-23:02.

DE Chas Lemon, So., St. Scholastica

LB Jordan Langs, Jr., Wheaton (Ill.)
Wheaton forced five turnovers in Saturday's win against No. 22 Illinois Wesleyan and three were recorded by  Langs, who had two interceptions and a fumble recovery. Langs’ second interception came with 2:35 left in the game at the Illinois Wesleyan 39-yard line, ending the Titans' chances for a rally. Both of his solo tackles were tackles for loss.

Langhurst had three interceptions and seven tackles in Aurora's 23-7 win over Lakeland. He helped the Spartan defense limit Lakeland to 250 yards (3.2 per play) and force seven turnovers.

S Josh McLeod, Jr., North Central (Ill.)
McLeod came up big on a busy day against pass-heavy Carthage, knocking away five passes and collecting his third interception of the season as North Central held the Red Men 70 yards below their per-game passing average.

S Chad Samuelson, Jr., UW-Eau Claire
With the game tied at 13 all and UW-Stevens Point lining up to kick a 27-yard field goal with less than 10 seconds to play, Samuelson was able to block the kick. He also finished with six tackles on the day (five solos, one assist) as the Blugolds beat the Pointers 20-13 in overtime.

CB Christian Willman, So., Hamline
Willman intercepted Macalester at the Hamline 20-yard line and returned it for a touchdown at 13:41 in the second quarter. The TD put the Pipers up 14-0 in a game they went on to win 49-30. For Willman, it was his second 80-plus yard pick-six in as many weeks, as he had an 84-yard interception return for a TD against Carleton the week prior.

Special teams
K Garrett Biel, So., Trinity (Texas)
Biel hit a career-long 49-yard field goal late in the first quarter to put the Tigers ahead 3-0, then went on to hit all five PATs in the game. The 49-yard kick is the third-longest in Trinity (Texas) history.

P Brian Betley, Sr., Gettysburg
