Among UND’s most thrilling victories last season was a stunning road victory over Division I-AA power Northern Iowa.

A former defensive coordinator for the Fighting Sioux from 1990-96, Lennon became the 24th head coach in UND foot- ball history when he was hired on March 29, 1999.

It did not take Lennon long to continue UND’s winning tra- dition. In his first season (1999) as head coach, the Sioux fin- ished 9-2, won a share of the NCC title and advanced to the first round of the NCAA playoffs.

In 2000 Lennon and the Sioux went 8-3 and narrowly missed out on another NCAA berth.

The 2001 season proved to be a watershed year for the UND football program. Lennon guided the team into a new era that year as the Sioux began play in the 13,500-seat Alerus Center, an indoor facility that has become one of the most exciting places to play in all of Division II football.

The new home helped propel the Sioux on a memorable post-season run that culminated with the first national cham- pionship in program history, a 17-14 win over Grand Valley State.

As a result, Lennon was named 2001 Coaches Association NCAA Division II Coach of the Year, also a first in program history. The award earned the University of North Dakota a $10,000 academic scholarship from the AFCA to benefit the athletic department and its stu- dent-athletes.

In addition to the AFCA national coaching honor, Lennon 6 was recognized as the 2001 AFCA Region 5 Coach of the HEAD COACH DALE LENNON Year and the 2001 NCAA Coach of the Year, the first time he received either honor. He was also named Division II National Coach of the Year by Don Hansen’s Weekly Football Gazette.

In 2003 Lennon led the Fighting Sioux to a 12-2 record and a berth in the NCAA Division II championship game for the sec- ond time in three years. The Sioux finished a perfect 7-0 in NCC play and captured the program’s 22nd conference title (15th out- right).

Lennon capped the 2003 season by being named NCC Coach of the Year, Minnesota Vikings College Coach of the Year and the D2Football.com Midwest Region Coach of the Year.

In 2004 the Fighting Sioux went 11-3 and advanced to the NCAA Division II semifinal round.

7 HEAD COACH DALE LENNON THE DALE LENNON ERA

The Fighting Sioux football program has maintained its winning tradi- tion since Head Coach Dale Lennon inherited the coaching reigns from his mentor and current North Central Conference Commissioner Roger Thomas.

Since replacing Thomas in 1999, Lennon has guided the Fighting Sioux to a 80-22 record, five North Central Conference titles (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006) and a pair of appearances in the NCAA Division II Championship Game. Lennon led UND to the school’s first national football title in 2001 and was named 2001 NCAA DII Coach of the Year, the first in UND history.

Under the guidance of Lennon, Fighting Sioux student-athletes have excelled not only on the playing field, but also in the classroom and in the community.

ALLENDALE, Mich. — For the second straight season, North Dakota’s bid for an NCAA Division II football championship has ended with a loss at Grand Valley State. The top-ranked Lakers used 27 first-quarter points to upend the eighth-ranked Sioux 30-20 this afternoon at Lubbers Stadium in the NCAA quarterfinal.

Grand Valley’s first-quarter explosion proved to be too big a hole for the Sioux to climb out of, although UND made a spirited push by scoring 20 of the game’s final 23 points.

When GVSU senior quarterback and Harlon Hill Trophy finalist Cullen Finnerty hit Terry Mitchell in the end zone from 20 yards on the Lakers’ third offensive play, it kick-started a scoring run that had the Sioux trailing 27-0 late in the first qurter.

The Sioux defense yielded just a pair of Britt Baumann field goals the rest of the way – a 35-yarder midway through the third quarter and a 20-yarder with 10:32 left in regulation.

ALLENDALE, Mich.—Quarterback Cullen Finnerty threw a pair of second-quarter touchdown passes to lead Grand Valley State to a 17-3 win over the Fighting Sioux in the second round of the NCAA playoffs this afternoon at Lubbers Stadium. The loss ends UND’s season at 10-3, while the Lakers now advance to next week’s Northwest Region final against Saginaw Valley State.

Finnerty’s two touchdown passes came four-and-a-half minutes apart and provided the difference in a struggle between two of the top defensive teams in Division II foot- ball. It wasn’t until nearly five minutes had elapsed in the second quarter when the Lakers finally broke a scoreless deadlock on a broken play.

Finnerty escaped the grasp of UND linebacker Zachariah Babington-Johnson and found tight end Jeremy Cochrane wide open at the Sioux 10 and Cochrane took it to the end zone untouched, giving the Lakers a 7-0 lead 4:22 into the sec- ond quarter.
