The Saint Michael Mustangs senior football team (3-2) ran its NCAA winning streak to three games with a 16-12 victory over the St. Francis Phoenix (3-2).

“Our players continue to work hard to improve each week and are finding ways to win which is a sign of a good team,” Saint Michael head coach Brian Carter said. “We as coaches keep stressing the importance of doing the little things better moving forward heading towards the playoffs.

“Doing those little things right increase your chances of being successful and is a great life lesson.”

For Saint Michael: Jared Schleuter threw a 10-yard TD pass to Noah Wilson; Gabriel Hetherington had a two-yard TD run; Wilson had two converts and two singles on a kickoff and a punt; Evan Williamson and Simon Gonzalez each recovered fumbles; and strong tackling was contributed by Caleb Hetherington, Carson Gilbert and Matt Wedler

“Noah Wilson had an outstanding game receiving the ball, kicking and punting,” Carter said. “Definitely the player of the game for the Mustangs.”

For St. Francis, Favour Iranoula scored two touchdowns.

“An injury to Quentin Duemo created some difficulty for us,” St. Francis head coach Jim Whittard said. “Saint Michael was well prepared and patient and did well.”
