HILLSDALE BLANKS FOOTBALL HUSKIES, 37-0

HILLSDALE, Mich. — Nothing went right for the Michigan Tech Huskies today. In a game of second-place teams in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, Hillsdale shut out Michigan Tech, 37-0. The Chargers accumulated 514 yards of total offense and intercepted four passes en route the win.

HC quarterback Mark Nicolet entered the game ranked second in the nation in several stat categories and proved why. The senior completed 34-of-47 passes for 376 yards and four touchdowns. Hillsdale also converted 14-of-18 third downs in the contest.

Huskies' QB Steve Short was nine-of-21 for 110 yards, and was picked off four times. Marvin Atkins rushed for a team-high 77 yards on 19 carries.

Will Clark led the Tech defensive effort with 12 tackles including nine solos. Billy Koenig was named Superior Player of the Game for averaging 36.8 yards on four points — two of which were downed inside the Hillsdale 20-yard line.

Michigan Tech (3-3 overall, 3-2 GLIAC) will try to regroup for Homecoming next week. The Huskies host Ferris State Saturday (Oct. 6) for a 1 p.m. kickoff at Sherman Field.
