UW-Stout Pulls Away Late from UNW Football
September 21, 2024MENOMONIE, Wis. – Looking to shake off a lopsided loss to Bethel the week prior, the University of Northwestern Football team looked like a different club to start Saturday's game at Don and Nona Williams Stadium. The Eagles held their own into the third quarter before the University of Wisconsin-Stout was able to pull away and earn a 56-19 win on its home turf.

Bethel Bests Northwestern in Reynolds Field Sell-Out
September 14, 2024ST. PAUL, Minn. – The atmosphere was as good as you'll find in Division III football on Saturday evening when the University of Northwestern Football team renewed a rivalry with an old friend, Bethel University. It was the first time the two teams, separated by less than two miles, had squared off since 1991, and the first time at Northwestern since 1990. That 1990 game would end up being the final game former Northwestern and Bethel head coach Chub Reynolds would ever coach, as he passed away from cancer just two days later. The strong ties made Saturday night's game, which took place in the stadium named for Reynolds, that much more emotional for both sides. After Reynolds' family joined the Eagles' captains for the coin toss, the well-over-capacity crowd of nearly 2,500 was ready for some football.
