GAME #2<br />
CENTRAL OF IOWA 38 , AUGUSTANA 13<br />
on September 14 in Rock Island, Illinois<br />
ROCK ISLAND, Ill. – Central jumped out to a 24-0 halftime lead Saturday<br />
and went on to defeat Augustana 38-13 at Charles D. Lindberg Stadium.<br />
The Dutch took advantage of four Viking turnovers to even their record at<br />
1-1 on the year. Augustana now also sports a 1-1 mark.<br />
It looked like the Vikings would take an early lead when they drove from<br />
their own 19 to the Central one on the game’s third possession. The big<br />
play was a 40-yard Sam Frasco (Prospect HS, Mt. Prospect, Ill.) to Torre<br />
Harrell (Bloomington HS, Bloomington, Ill.) completion and freshman<br />
Brandon Price (Providence Catholic HS, Plainfield, Ill.) and senior Mike<br />
McLean (Willowbrook HS, Villa Park, Ill.) had runs of 18 and 11 yards,<br />
respectively, on the march. However, the Central defense stiffened, throwing<br />
Frasco for a pair of three-yard losses. A false start pushed Augustana<br />
back another five yards and on fourth down, Conner Murray’s (Conifer HS,<br />
Morrison, Colo.) 29-yard field goal attempt went wide right.<br />
The Dutch answered with a 10-play, 80-yard drive to take a 7-0 lead.<br />
Quarterback Aaron Eiseler found Keegan Frisch down the right side for a<br />
19-yard touchdown pass.<br />
Jacob Edelman’s 29-yard punt return set up the visitors’ next score, a 36-<br />
yard Kevin Sheldon field goal with 11:12 remaining in the second quarter.<br />
Central took advantage of a 20-yard Augustana punt to go up 17-0 on its<br />
next possession. Eiseler connected with Blaine Forsythe for an 18-yard<br />
touchdown pass to cap a three-play, 36-yard drive.<br />
Eiseler closed out the first-half scoring with an eight-yard touchdown run<br />
with 4:04 left before halftime, finishing off a four-play, 52-yard march.<br />
It was Eiseler and Forsythe hooking up again with 8:07 left in the third.<br />
Their 40-yard touchdown completion and Sheldon’s conversion put the<br />
Dutch up 31-0.<br />
Frasco’s 53-yard option keeper down the left sideline set up Augustana’s<br />
first score. He connected with Harrell on fourth-and-goal from the seven<br />
on a ball that was tipped by a Central defender. Murray’s PAT made it 31-7<br />
with nine seconds left in the third.<br />
Each team added a touchdown in the final period. De’Andre Currie’s 37-<br />
yard scoring run capped a five-play, 68-yard Central march and Frasco<br />
went over from one yard out for the Vikings to finish of a 13-play 81-yard<br />
scoring drive. Augustana failed on its two-point conversion attempt and<br />
Central ran out the clock to make the final 38-13.<br />
Senior corner Ben Fornek (Batavia HS, Batavia, Ill.) had four solo tackles<br />
and a pair of interceptions, his second and third of the season. Senior Erik<br />
Westerberg (York HS. Elmhurst, Ill.) was in on a dozen stops, including 10<br />
of the solo variety and senior defensive end Sean Mulholland (Clinton HS,<br />
Clinton, Ill.) had two tackles for loss and the Vikings’ only sack among his<br />
six tackles.<br />
Offensively, Price led the rushing attack with 39 yards on 11 carries and<br />
junior Benjamin Hodges (St. Charles North HS, Elburn, Ill.) ran for 38<br />
yards on nine carries. Frasco was 13 of 27 passing for 124 yards and one<br />
touchdown, but was intercepted three times. Harrell had three catches for<br />
51 yards and a score and senior Nick Krantz (Moline HS, Moline, Ill.) corralled<br />
four passes for 29 yards.<br />
The Vikings will try to get back on the winning track on Saturday, September<br />
21 when they travel to Dubuque, Iowa to face Loras. Kickoff is<br />
scheduled for 1:00 p.m.<br />
