Ripon Runs Down Pioneers

TJ Schaid turns the corner

Heading on the road for only the second time all season, the Pioneers fell to the Ripon Red Hawks 37-21 on Saturday.  In a battle of two ball-control offenses, the hosts were able to turn early drives into touchdowns while the Scarlet & Black settled for two early field goals.  After cutting the lead to 24-14 early in the third quarter, Ripon pulled away after stopping the Pioneers on two separate 4th-downs inside Red Hawk territory.

Next week, it's back on the road to Wisconsin to take on Carroll University!
