Ashland's Eagles dominated Ohio Dominican and cruised to their 6th straight win, winning 44 to 15 at Panther Field.

Eagle junior RB DJ McCoy scored a TD and eclipsed 100 yards for the 6th consecutive game, getting 102 yards on 25 carries.

The Panthers' RB Mike Noffsinger set the ODU single season rushing yardage record at 712 yards with his effort of 123 yards on 17 carries.

AU senior WR Joe Horn set a new career TD reception record at 24, as he compiled 167 yards on 8 catches including a 23-yard TD. Teammate Christian Livingston had 2 TD catches of 1 and 9 yards.

AU's defense was also productive, forcing 4 turnovers - INTs by senior LB Quinton Scott, junior LB Jacob Lerman and junior DB Logan Kerr (his 6th on the season and 4th in as many games) and a 45-yard fumble return for a TD by senior safety Tarell Lewis.

The only real AU miscue of the day was a blocked punt in the endzone by ODU frosh TE Nate Weeks that resulted in a safety.

Ashland hosts Lake Erie at Senior Day on Nov 13 for the "Ohio Championship" with the winner getting GLIAC D-2 bragging rights in the Buckeye State. LEC is on a three game winning streak, with wins over Findlay (48-45), ODU (30-15) and Tiffin (31-27). For their part, AU is on a 6-game winning streak, with decisive wins over those in-state opponents, by a margin of 149-22.

LEC QB Sean Bedevelsky, who was the GLIAC and D-2football.com Offensive Player of the Week with his performance against Findlay on Oct 25, did not play this week against Tiffin. Versus Findlay, Bedevelsky completed 34-of-50 passes for 441 yards - all career highs and school single-game records - for four touchdowns and rushed for 59 yards and two more scores to help rally the Storm from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit.

It will be interesting to see if Bedevelsky will be healthy for the tilt with Ashland, and if not, if the Storm will be able to keep pace with the prolific Eagle offense (LEC is 10th in the GLIAC in total D.) Storm soph QB Matt Krumpak threw only 18 times against Tiffin and the Storm relied heavily on the running game to eke-out the win over the Dragons. Ashland's defense is number 2 in the conference, while Lake Erie sports the GLIAC's second best offense.

Should make for an interesting game at Jack Miller Stadium starting at 1PM this Saturday.

congradulations eagles. Hope you had a great time at the game.

Beautiful day, great crowd and pleasant environment.

A couple surprises - $10 for general admission and $3 for a program - it's $8 and $2 for the same at Ashland and the facilities/program are far and away better than that at ODU. C'mon - just 1 men's room for the entire facility? Go rent a few porta-johns and put them on the visitors'side at least!

During AU's warm-ups, the FGs went out of the stadium and literally into the trees and bushes in someone's back yard - the AU staffer had to almost climb up an evergreen tree to retreive a football - this isn't high school - take some of that $10 gate money and buy a net to keep the balls on campus property. Gives new meaning to 'bush league.'

I hear there are plans to improve the facilities at ODU - hope they are implemented soon. Good luck to Coach Conley as he keeps improving his team and program - with 22 other coaches on the staff they should make some progress ...

Interesting it cost that much. They raized the prices during the year. It only cost 8 top price before. I agree the facilities need updated especially now that odu is in d2. They were lacking before in the naia days also as they always have had large crowds. I like to complain about owu's stadium needing a massive facelift but at least they have greatly improved the bathroom facilitites I don't know why they don't use a net either all though it kind of reminds me of capital where the exstra points can land either on the library or in the yards accross the street. If you go there don't ever park on the street on the south side of the stadium for football or soccer, you may have a dented car when you come out.

I hope I don't come across sounding too "hard" on this - the turf at the field is very nice, the environment is great, and to see a strong contingent of fans for ODU even though they aren't sporting a 'super' record says alot about the support-level.

The restroom/concession/ticket building was nice - but just 2 urinals and commode for all the men resulted in about a 10-minute wait at half-time ...

And yeah, some guy with a blue car might want to park his car elsewhere on Saturdays since he took several 'thumps' to the drivers' door while AU worked on field goals!

Trust me you are not comming off too strong about it. The comments about the facilities from some of the hillsdale fans were shall we say a little bit more colorfull. Hopefully by next year they will be improved. They just finished the exsension to the athletic complex so I am assuming the football field is next.Oh speaking of the athletic facility you should have seen the basketball gym before it was enlarged. Seats on just one side, dark and dingy and you felt like you were in a airplane hanger watching a game. Much better their now.
