INDIANAPOLIS – No. 15-ranked University of Indianapolis clinched the outright Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) football title on Saturday at Key Stadium, as the Greyhounds remained unblemished in Conference play at 7-0 with a 55-10 victory over Missouri S&T. UIndy has now won three consecutive league crowns and 10 total since 2012.
The Hounds started the afternoon with a bang, notching two lengthy touchdowns in the first two minutes of play. Markez Gillam took the opening kickoff 100 yards to the house, while Gavin Sukup found a streaking Alonzo Derrick for a 68-yard TD reception on the Hounds' first offensive play from scrimmage.
UIndy went on to score at least 10 points in all four quarters. Six different Greyhounds found the end zone, while two different quarterbacks—Sukup and Chris Mullen—tossed a touchdown pass.
Clay Schulte spearheaded another stout defense effort from the Hounds. The senior linebacker led the team with 11 tackles and a sack, adding a diving interception in the fourth quarter. Overall, the Hounds have surrendered an average of 8.7 points over the last three games combined.
UIndy will take on Lincoln in its final regular season game next Saturday and then its postseason fate will be decided on Sunday with the 28-team NCAA DII Championship bracket being announced on NCAA.com at 6 p.m. Eastern Time.
