Ott caps Cap's run
Jack Rafferty threw for 121 yards and ran for 63 as Otterbein jumped out to a 17-3 lead and held on to upset crosstown rival No. 5 Capital 17-10. Otterbein and Mount Union are the only teams to beat Capital in the past 33 games. No. 7 Central survived another cardiac moment, coming up with two big sacks in the third overtime and going on to beat Dubuque 37-34. It's the fifth one-score win for the Dutch in the past six contests. Saturday's scores. St. Norbert scored touchdowns on six of its first seven possessions to beat Ripon 52-27 en route to clinching the automatic bid from the Midwest Conference. It's the Green Knights' seventh trip to the playoffs in nine seasons of the Pools playoff system. Bethel remained unbeaten in the MIAC, having little trouble with No. 13 St. Olaf in a 35-13 win. Bethel's performance only makes the season-opening loss to Buena Vista (2-4) more puzzling. Cortland State had its way with visiting No. 15 Montclair State, scoring the game's final 33 points in a 43-13 win, remaining unbeaten in the New Jersey Athletic Conference. No. 22 New Jersey defeated Western Connecticut 42-21 to stay perfect in NJAC play as well, while Kean knocked off Rowan 35-28 in overtime, leaving the Profs two and a half games behind Cortland. The top of the poll had varying challenges against conference contenders. No. 3 UW-Whitewater won 31-14 at No. 20 UW-Stevens Point, while top-ranked Mount Union blanked Baldwin-Wallace 35-0. No. 2 Mary Hardin-Baylor got four touchdown runs of 75 yards or longer in handing Mississippi College its second loss, 69-30. Royce Winford caught 20 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns to lead Augsburg past Carleton 38-16. Williams became the fifth Division III team to reach 600 wins, beating Tufts 34-13. Wittenberg (now at 668), Washington and Jefferson (643), Mount Union (635) and Widener (627) preceded Williams to the milestone. Albright took care of a shorthanded Wilkes squad in a 35-25 win. Albright, Widener and Delaware Valley are tied for first in the MAC, at 4-0 apiece, as Delaware Valley shut out Lycoming and Widener rolled past FDU-Florham on Friday night. No. 8 St. John Fisher took a 10-7 lead on Springfield and broke it wide open in a 35-14 Empire 8 win, while No. 14 Wabash had little trouble with Oberlin. No. 19 Linfield stayed in the Pool B hunt, shutting out Pacific Lutheran 24-0. It ended a string of 239 games in which Pacific Lutheran had scored, dating to 1979. Curry roared past Plymouth State 42-14 in a battle of NEFC unbeatens. Curry can clinch a spot in the league's title game with a win next week against Nichols. Bridgewater escaped Emory and Henry with a 17-14 win, while Hampden-Sydney beat Catholic 49-39 (Photo gallery) to remain one loss behind ODAC leader Randolph-Macon. Check out Saturday's results. | |
