Minnesota-Duluth 55

University of Mary 14

 DULUTH, Minn. -- Chase Vogler’s remarkable collegiate career may be slowly coming to an end, but the University of Minnesota-Duluth senior quarterback showed Saturday afternoon that he still has plenty left in the old tank.

 Vogler, making his 50th career start, passed for three touchdowns and ran for another score in propelling the ninth-ranked Bulldogs past the University of Mary 55-14 at James S. Malosky Stadium. UMD, now 9-1 overall, bolted to a 31-7 halftime lead while cruising to its 39th consecutive NSIC home triumph, a run which stretches back to the the 2000 season, and improving to 6-0 all-time versus the Maruaders (4-6).

 The Bulldogs rolled up 564 yards of total offense on the afternoon, including 270 on the ground, and limited Mary to 251 overall yards. The Bulldogs, who trail league-leading Minnesota State, Mankato by one game in the NSIC standings, will put the wraps on the 2012 regular season on Saturday at home against Northern State.

 

Southwest Minnesota State 35

Concordia-St. Paul 28

 MARSHALL, Minn. -- Gannon Moore scored three touchdowns, while rushing for 115 yards, to lead Southwest Minnesota State to a 35-28 victory over Concordia-St. Paul on Saturday afternoon.

 Concordia had a chance to tie midway through the fourth quarter, but facing a first-and-goal from the SMSU 1-yard line, Concordia suffered a penalty pushing the ball back to the 6-yard line. Three plays later Southwest ended the threat with an interception in the end zone to hang onto the lead and eventual victory.
