NSIC Offensive Player of the Week #9 Drew Bauer (QB, 6-2, 210, So., Inver Grove Heights, Minn. / Eagan HS) University of Minnesota Duluth

Bauer threw for a career-high 326 yards and two touchdowns in quarterbacking UMD to a convincing 44-21 road victory over St. Cloud State Saturday. His passing yardage and total offense (408 yard) were both the highest by a Bulldog since the 2007 season finale (All-AmericanTed Schlafke with 350 and 495 yards, respectively at St. Cloud State). Bauer completed 20 of 31 passes on the day and his two third-quarter touchdown tosses helped UMD seal its 14th consecutive regular season win. Bauer also led both teams in rushing with 82 yards on 13 carries and scored UMD’s first touchdown of the afternoon. His 408 yards of total offense were the fifth-highest single-season total in program history while his 326 passing yards ranked 1th.1 Bauer is now 17-2 as a starter since taking over that role at the start of last season.

NSIC Defensive Player of the Week #95 Josh Gordon (DE, 6-2, 250, Jr., Milwaukee, Wis. / Wisconsin Lutheran) Minnesota State University, Mankato

His four sacks combined for a loss of 18 yards as he now has 12 quarterback sacks on the season, just 1.5 sacks behind Steve Connelly for the most sacks in a season by a Maverick. With its win over Winona State, the Mavericks have now won 28-straight NSIC games and 14-straight road games.
