ZENNER-PAYTON AWARD…South Dakota State University running back Zach Zenner has been officially added to the 2012 Walter Payton Award Watch List.
The Payton Award, presented by The Sports Network, and in its 26th year, is presented to the outstanding player in the Football Championship Subdivision.
Zenner leads the nation in rushing with 1,077 yards through five games — an average of of 215.4 yards per game. He has scored six touchdowns, including scoring runs of 99 yards in the season opener at Kansas and 88 yards last week against Missouri State. Zenner is averaging 7.9 yards per carry in becoming only the third back in Missouri Valley Football Conference history to reach the 1,000-yard mark in five games.
The Payton Award will be voted on by a national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries following the regular season on Nov. 19. The top three vote-getters will be invited to the FCS Awards Banquet and Presentation on Dec. 17 in Philadelphia.
NDSU PETITION FRAUD…Ten North Dakota State University football players have pleaded guilty to misdemeanor election fraud and sentenced to community service for faking signatures on proposed ballot measure petitions that they were hired to collect.
Among the players who pleaded guilty were starters Samuel Ojuri, Joshua Colville, Marcus Williams and Brendin Pierre.
The 10 players were each ordered to complete 50 hours of community service and pay $325 in fees. Coach Craig Bohl has said the team might discipline the players but won't suspend them.
The scandal stopped two citizen initiatives from making the November ballot, including one aimed at legalizing medical marijuana.
NDSU is the defending champion in the Football Championship Subdivision and the top-ranked team this season.
NDSU-YOUNGSTOWN…Two of the top three FCS teams in the nation play at the FargoDome Saturday, when number-three Youngstown State meets top-ranked NDSU.
Each team is 4-0 – Youngstown is the last team to have beaten the Bison, having edged them by three points last year in Fargo.
NDSU head coach Craig Bohl says the Penguins have assumed the personality of their coach, Eric Wolford. 97631 :20 “their top rating”.
Wolford, in turn, says the Bison are a well-coached, well-disciplined team. 97632 :28 “a great game”.
To magnify things, it’s also North Dakota State’s homecoming game.
SUMMIT XC… Kansas City’s Cosmas Ayabei and South Dakota State’s Michael Krsnak were named The Summit League’s Male Cross Country Athletes of the Week, while North Dakota State’s Brecca Wahlund was selected as the female Athlete of the Week.
Krsnak posted a fifth-place finish at the Roy Griak Invitational amongst runners from a national ranked team and seven regional ranked opponents. The senior recorded a personal-best 8k time of 24:48, the second-fastest league time this season and led the Jackrabbits, 12th in the Midwest, to a seventh-place finish ahead of regional ranked, Utah State (10th in the Mountain) and Central Michigan (11th in the Great Lakes).
Ayabei clocked a league-best 8k time of 24:31 at the Notre Dame Invitational. The senior finished second out of 143 runners and lead his team to a sixth-place overall finish.
Wahlund had a league-best 6k time of 21:26 at the Stanford Invitational, 23 seconds faster than the previous fastest time.
SDSU SOCCER…South Dakota State travels to IPFW and Oakland this weekend after a heartbreaking double-overtime loss Saturday at North Dakota State, to open the Summit League soccer schedule.
Head coach Lang Wedemeyer says SDSU took the early lead, and played well a good majority of the game in Fargo. 97621 :16 “the game’s tied”.
Wedemeyer says it’s too early in the conference schedule to panic – he says SDSU’s simplifying some things for this weekend’s opponents. 97622 :33 “tournament last year”.
SDSU did get senior Courtney Higgins back into action last weekend, but Steph Berube’ may be lost for the season.
SDSU VB…The SDSU volleyball team returns to Frost Arena this weekend for matches Friday against Missouri-Kansas City and Saturday against cross-state rival South Dakota. Action starts at seven each night.
SDSU lost to IPFW, but defeated Oakland last weekend.
Head coach Phil McDaniel says playing the Kangaroos is almost like playing a mirror image of SDSU. 97623 :16 “a little bit”.
McDaniel says USD’s trying to solve some issues they have: 97624 :19 “on the fly”.
SDSU volleyball coach Phil McDaniel.
BLIZZARD…The Brookings Blizzard host Coulee Region Friday and Saturday in a two-game NAHL Central Division home stand. Face-off each night at Larson Ice Center is at 7:00.
Goaltender Drew Weigman was named Player of the Week after kicking out 73 of 75 shots against Aberdeen. Head coach Cory Laylin says Weigman was big in Saturday’s 2-0 win. 97625 :15 “fantastic for us”.
Coulee Region trails Brookings by seven points in the division standings, so Laylin says it’s a big series for them. He’s impressed with Coulee’s skill. 97626 :22 “in the net”.
Laylin says the Blizzard did a good job taking the action to Aberdeen, and wants to see that continue.
