Case Football - Perfect 10-0

Update 11/18:
The Spartans have advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III Football Championship by narrowly defeating the Pride from
Widener University 21-20 at Case Field.

The Spartans were down 20-15 with 1:27 remaining in the game, when sophomore quarterback Dan Whalen led the Spartans on a 14-play, 73-yard drive, capping it off by hitting senior wide receiver Jeff Mayer (Vermillion, OH) in the end zone with two seconds left on the clock for the game-winning touchdown.

With the win, the Spartans improve to 11-0 on the year and will host Wabash College next weekend at Case Field at 12:00 p.m. in the second round of the playoffs. Wabash defeated the College of Mount St. Joseph 31-21 in its first round game in Crawfordsville, Indiana.
