COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio Dominican football team found themselves in unfamiliar territory on Saturday afternoon as the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletic (NAIA) second ranked scoring offense was shutout for their first time since their inaugural season in 2004 by the #4 ranked University of St. Francis Cougars. ODU racked up a total of 347 yards of total offense 22, more yards than the host Cougars, but failed to capitalize in the red zone dropping the highly anticipated showdown with St. Francis (Ind.), 35-0.

CHICAGO - For the third straight week, the Saint Xavier University defense came up big nearly posting a shutout in a 23-7 homecoming victory over visiting Walsh University (Ohio) in the Mid-States Football Association (MSFA) Mideast League opener for both teams Saturday at Bruce R. Deaton Memorial Field in Chicago. The lone touchdown for the Cavaliers came on a fourth down play with just three seconds remaining in regulation. SXU opponents have posted a combined 10 points over the last three games, including Trinity International University (Ill.) failing to score in a 56-0 loss last Saturday. The Cougars improve to 3-2 overall and 1-0 in the MSFA, while Walsh falls to 1-4 on the year and 0-1 in the league standings.
