THIRD QUARTERFINAL – The defending National Champions of NAIA football – the LINDSEY WILSON COLLEGE BLUE RAIDERS – did battle with the KEISER UNIVERSITY SEA HAWKS.

NCAA DIVISION THREE
FIRST BERTH IN THE QUARTERFINALS – The LINFIELD COLLEGE WILDCATS were at the SAINT JOHN’S UNIVERSITY JOHNNIES, the favorite team of my British readers. After a scoreless opening Quarter the Wildcats led 14-7 at the midpoint. That turned into a 28-14 Linfield College advantage to end the 3rd Quarter before the Wildcats had to withstand a furious Johnnies rally in the 4th for a 31-28 win.
SECOND BERTH IN THE QUARTERFINALS – The CENTRAL COLLEGE DUTCH played the WHEATON COLLEGE THUNDER. The Dutch led 7-0 in the 1st Quarter but the Thunder went up 14-7 by Halftime. Central College pulled to within 14-10 in the 3rd Quarter before winning the game 30-28 in the 4th.
THIRD BERTH IN THE QUARTERFINALS – The UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT UNION PURPLE RAIDERS and the JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY BLUE JAYS did battle.

FIFTH BERTH IN THE QUARTERFINALS – The MUHLENBERG COLLEGE MULES took it on the road against the DELAWARE VALLEY UNIVERSITY AGGIES. This oddball game found the Mules leading DelVal 7-0 and 14-0 in the 1st and 2nd Quarters respectively. Neither team scored after the break so 14-0 was the final tally as well.
SIXTH BERTH IN THE QUARTERFINALS – This game pitted the NORTH CENTRAL COLLEGE CARDINALS – the defending National Champions – against the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN AT LACROSSE EAGLES.

SEVENTH BERTH IN THE QUARTERFINALS – The UNIVERSITY OF MARY HARDIN-BAYLOR CRUSADERS took the field against the BIRMINGHAM-SOUTHERN COLLEGE PANTHERS. The Crusaders put up 21 points in each Half while limiting the Panthers to just 7 points in the 1st Quarter. The final score was UMHB 42 BSC 7.
EIGHTH BERTH IN THE QUARTERFINALS – The UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-WHITEWATER WARHAWKS and the DEPAUW UNIVERSITY TIGERS faced each other. This game was all one-way as the Warhawks folded, spindled and mutilated the hapless Tigers to the tune of 45-0.

IMO – Alabama lost their game due to struggling and going into 4 OT’s against unranked Auburn. Brother was I rooting for Auburn!!

Hello there! This blog post couldn’t be written any better! Looking through this post reminds me of my previous roommate! He constantly kept preaching about this. I am going to send this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a very good read. I appreciate you for sharing!
Greetings from California! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to check out your website on my iphone during lunch break. I enjoy the knowledge you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at how fast your blog loaded on my phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, very good blog!
One important thing is that if you are searching for a student loan you may find that you will want a co-signer. There are many conditions where this is correct because you could find that you do not use a past credit history so the bank will require you have someone cosign the borrowed funds for you. Thanks for your post.
