HOW IT HAPPENED
• Trailing 7-0 late in the second quarter, the Auggies' first touchdown was set up by a wild defensive play, as Shaquille Young (FY, St. Paul, Minn./Tartan HS) stripped the ball from the Hamline quarterback and handed it to Eric Reichwaldt (FY, Burnsville, Minn./Apple Valley HS), who returned it 59 yards to the Hamline 21-yard line. Three plays later, Al-Hameed rushed 11 yards for a touchdown to cut the Hamline lead to 7-6.
• The Auggies took the lead late in the third quarter, when a nine-play, 88-yard drive covering 5:00 was capped by Al-Hameed's second touchdown of the game, another 11-yard run.
• Quarterback Quinn Frisell (SR, Plymouth, Minn./Robbinsdale Armstrong HS) completed 14-of-22 passes for 118 yards, 85 of those yards going to receiver Le'Andre Benion (SR, Rosevile, Minn./Roseville HS) on five cathes. Mark Munoa (JR, Alameda, Calif./Alameda HS) rushed 10 times for 43 yards.
• Derek Glynn (SR, Lonsdale, Minn./Faribault HS) led the Auggies with 11 tackles (five solo), marking his ninth game this season with double-digit tackle totals. He ended the season with an MIAC-leading 116 tackles (45 solo).
• Steven Edwards Jr. (SR, Kissimmee, Fla./Liberty HS) had seven tackles (five solo), including 2.0 tackles for-loss and a forced fumble, and Austin Kincade (SR, Mound, Minn./Mound-Westonka HS) had two interceptions.
