D3 Stud of the Year

Ternes celebrates one of his 4.5 sacks
David Ternes was recently recognized by BennettRank.com as an Honorable Mention D3 Football Stud of the Year.  Ternes was named for his performance in the first game against Lawrence, a 29-7 victory for the Pioneers.  Ternes recorded 15 tackles, 13 of them solo, as well as 4.5 sacks, one of which was for a safety.  His 4.5 sacks was the most of any division 3 player in a single game this year, and the new school record for the Pioneers.  Congratulations David!

BennettRank.com is a relatively new website, with the mission "to advance interest and appreciation for small-school athletics through aggregating and publicizing stories about teams, players, fans, and coaches."  Many thanks to the website for honoring David and for promoting Division 3 football, and small college athletics in general.
