Coach Raeburn’s Comments
“Obviously we’re disappointed with how we played that second half. I thought we played a really good first half, but in the second half our run defense was about as bad as it’s been since I’ve been coaching here. We had a ton of penalties. We were completely inconsistent offensively. Those things have to change.”
On success with wide receiver screens: “We’ve had some success with those plays this year. Last week versus Wooster we had some opportunities to hit some big plays but we just missed a block. Anytime you get pressure and you get a chance to connect on a screen, you have a chance to get an explosive play for big yards because of the reduced numbers downfield on defense.” On Ohio Wesleyan: “They’re a little bit different offensively. They run the ball a little bit more, but still do a lot of the basic things they’ve hung their hat on over the past few seasons. They’re a little more balanced this year with some more read-option plays. Defensively they have some new faces, but they continue to put pressure on the quarterback. I think we’ll see a lot of blitzes, not just in the passing game but in the running game, as well.”
Ohio Wesleyan Preview
The Battling Bishops return home after splitting a pair of road games over the past two weeks. After opening with a 40-20 win at Bluffton and a 35-25 victory at home against Kenyon, OWU lost on a field goal at Denison (34-31) before picking up a 36-19 victory at Allegheny last Saturday.

Soccer Earns National Ranking; Jennings Named Top NCAC Player
Wabash moved into the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Continental Tires men’s soccer rankings for the first time in school history, entering the polls at 15th this week. The Little Giants are ranked second in the Great Lakes Region by the NSCAA, trailing fellow North Coast Athletic Conference member Kenyon.
Dayton Jennings
A Sunday afternoon 1-0 victory against Oberlin gave Wabash a 9-0-2 record for the season and a 2-0 mark in NCAC matches. The 11-game unbeaten streak to open the season broke the old school record of ten set by the 1986 team (a tie and nine consecutive victories).
Sophomore goalkeeper Dayton Jennings (Noblesville, IN/Noblesville) played a key role in the record-setting Sunday for the team, helping him earn North Coast Athletic Conference Men’s Soccer Player of the Week honors.
Jennings and his Wabash teammates picked up a pair of victories last week, starting with a 3-0 win at Mount St. Joseph University Monday. He posted six saves in 90 minutes in goal in the victory. Sunday Jennings made five saves against an offensively aggressive Oberlin team, keeping a blank sheet in the Little Giants’ 1-0 win. Jennings also broke the school record for shutouts in a season, posting his seventh of the year with his effort versus Oberlin. JR Dunn ‘99 held the old mark with a 6-1/2 in 1997. Jennings and fellow sophomore goalkeeper Chase Francoeur (SO/Seymour, IN/Columbus North) have combined for nine shutouts this year, topping the old Wabash record of eight set in 1997, as well. Wabash leads all NCAA Division III programs with an average of 0.82 shutouts per game, rank third in goals against average (0.26), and sixth in save percentage (0.906). Jennings ranks ninth individually in goals against average (0.314) and 12th in saves per game (0.897).
Next Match: Wabash travels to Allegheny College for a Sunday NCAC match beginning at 12 p.m.

Coach Raeburn’s Comments
“Obviously we’re disappointed with how we played that second half. I thought we played a really good first half, but in the second half our run defense was about as bad as it’s been since I’ve been coaching here. We had a ton of penalties. We were completely inconsistent offensively. Those things have to change.”
On success with wide receiver screens: “We’ve had some success with those plays this year. Last week versus Wooster we had some opportunities to hit some big plays but we just missed a block. Anytime you get pressure and you get a chance to connect on a screen, you have a chance to get an explosive play for big yards because of the reduced numbers downfield on defense.” On Ohio Wesleyan: “They’re a little bit different offensively. They run the ball a little bit more, but still do a lot of the basic things they’ve hung their hat on over the past few seasons. They’re a little more balanced this year with some more read-option plays. Defensively they have some new faces, but they continue to put pressure on the quarterback. I think we’ll see a lot of blitzes, not just in the passing game but in the running game, as well.”
Ohio Wesleyan Preview
The Battling Bishops return home after splitting a pair of road games over the past two weeks. After opening with a 40-20 win at Bluffton and a 35-25 victory at home against Kenyon, OWU lost on a field goal at Denison (34-31) before picking up a 36-19 victory at Allegheny last Saturday.

Soccer Earns National Ranking; Jennings Named Top NCAC Player
Wabash moved into the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Continental Tires men’s soccer rankings for the first time in school history, entering the polls at 15th this week. The Little Giants are ranked second in the Great Lakes Region by the NSCAA, trailing fellow North Coast Athletic Conference member Kenyon.
Dayton Jennings
A Sunday afternoon 1-0 victory against Oberlin gave Wabash a 9-0-2 record for the season and a 2-0 mark in NCAC matches. The 11-game unbeaten streak to open the season broke the old school record of ten set by the 1986 team (a tie and nine consecutive victories).
Sophomore goalkeeper Dayton Jennings (Noblesville, IN/Noblesville) played a key role in the record-setting Sunday for the team, helping him earn North Coast Athletic Conference Men’s Soccer Player of the Week honors.
Jennings and his Wabash teammates picked up a pair of victories last week, starting with a 3-0 win at Mount St. Joseph University Monday. He posted six saves in 90 minutes in goal in the victory. Sunday Jennings made five saves against an offensively aggressive Oberlin team, keeping a blank sheet in the Little Giants’ 1-0 win. Jennings also broke the school record for shutouts in a season, posting his seventh of the year with his effort versus Oberlin. JR Dunn ‘99 held the old mark with a 6-1/2 in 1997. Jennings and fellow sophomore goalkeeper Chase Francoeur (SO/Seymour, IN/Columbus North) have combined for nine shutouts this year, topping the old Wabash record of eight set in 1997, as well. Wabash leads all NCAA Division III programs with an average of 0.82 shutouts per game, rank third in goals against average (0.26), and sixth in save percentage (0.906). Jennings ranks ninth individually in goals against average (0.314) and 12th in saves per game (0.897).
Next Match: Wabash travels to Allegheny College for a Sunday NCAC match beginning at 12 p.m.
Cross Country Tightens Gap Times at Notre Dame Invitational
Wabash finished ninth overall and second among the Division III men’s cross country teams competing Friday afternoon at the Notre Dame Invitational. The top-seven runners for the Red Pack finished within one minute of one another.
The Little Giants scored 271 points in the 23-team Gold Division race which featured teams from all divisions along with the University of Windsor from Canada. Wabash finished behind North Central College, the top-ranked team in the latest US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll. The Cardinals took second place with a team score of 82 points. The Little Giants, 16th in last week’s rankings, placed ahead of 28th-ranked UW-Oshkosh (287 points) and 25th-ranked Calvin College (298).
Billy McManus (SR/Fort Wayne, IN/Bishop Luers) crossed the finish line in the 5-mile run in 38th place with a time of 25:08.6, his best time of the season. Jared Burris (SR/Indianapolis, IN/North Central) captured 48th place by finishing in 25:16.5. Adam Togami (JR/New Albany, IN/New Albany) followed in 56th place (25:22.5), with Mason McKinney (SO/Lafayette, IN/McCutcheon) posting a time of 25:26.1 to take 62nd place. Nick Boyce (SR/Indianapolis, IN/Chatard) was the final scorer for the Little Giants, placing 70th (25:31.4). The gap distance for the five-man group for Wabash came in at 23 seconds. Fabian House (JR/Muncie, IN/Muncie Central) took 76th place with a time of 25:33.8. Colin Rinne (FR/ Westfield, IN/Westfield) captured 101st place (25:54.2), giving Wabash seven runners within one minute of one another. Grand Valley State won the overall Gold Division title with 71 points.
Rankings: Wabash remained atop the US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Great Lakes Region rankings. The Little Giants moved up four spots to 12th in the national rankings. This marks the first time in Wabash history all three traditional fall sports teams have been listed in their respective national rankings.
