Game Summary
The Cobbers came out strong, building a 14-0 halftime lead on two touchdowns by Bobby Clark (Jr., Seeley Lake, Mont.). The first came through the air, a 24-yard strike from Ryan Hebrink (Jr., Sacred Heart, Minn.) with 3:09 to go in the first quarter. Clark struck again with 2:40 left in the first half, running it in from 5 yards out to give the Cobbers a 14-0 lead at the half.

Gustavus mounted a second-half comeback, however, scoring on a 3-yard hookup from Sean Smith to Ryan Hoag with 8:11 remaining in the third quarter, closing the gap to 14-7. The Gusties tied the game with 11:17 to go in the game, when star running back Andy Traetow broke free for a 36-yard touchdown run. The day belonged to Hebrink and the Cobbers, though, as Hebrink capped off a 73-yard rushing game with a 6-yard touchdown run with 8:53 to go in the game. The Cobbers held off the Gusties for the rest of the game, finishing with an exciting 20-14 victory on Family Weekend.

The Cobbers hope to continue their momentum next Saturday, Sept. 21, as they travel to Bethel for a 1:00 game. The Royals are coming off a 49-25 loss to St. Thomas to open their MIAC season.
