| Bernholtz slips through the hole on the way to a 59 yard scoring run. |
Bernholtz scored his first touchdown of the day on a fumble recovery in the end zone, to give the Pioneers a 14 - 0. He followed that up with a beautiful 59 yard scoring run to put the Pioneers up 21 - 3. He capped off the scoring with a 65 yard run in the fourth quarter.

| Bernholtz' second TD run came behind the right side of the line, covering 65 yards. |
The Pioneers 42 points were the most since scoring 43 against Knox College in October of 2011. It was also the most the Pioneers have score against Beloit since a 45 - 20 victory over the Buccaneers in 1996. The Pioneer defense has now forced 12 turnovers in four games, on pace to far outdistance last year's total of 21.
The Pioneers will enjoy a bye week before heading to Monmouth College to take on the Scots October 12.
