Four Division III football conferences are joining the ever-growing number of leagues sponsoring postgame bowls, as the Ohio Athletic Conference, Presidents' Athletic Conference, North Coast Athletic Conference and Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference will square off this November in Canton.
Even if you come into the year carrying the burden of a long losing streak, each new season brings with it new opportunities to get back on track, and that's exactly what Bowdoin, Juniata and Thiel did last week, among others. Greg Thomas checks in in Around the Nation.
A nasty bug is going around the Thiel College campus, and all activities through Sunday have been cancelled. That means that the football game might be played Monday, or might not be played at all.
Nick Barca ran for a career-best 189 yards Saturday and scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to lead the Thiel Tomcats to a 28-13 Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) win over the Bethany Bison.

GREENVILLE, Pa. – In the end the Grove City Wolverines made one more big play than the Thiel Tomcats to win the 30th Mercer County Cup game Saturday at Alumni Stadium in overtime, 50-44.
GREENVILLE, Pa. – The motto for the first on-campus night game in the 109-year history of Thiel College football was "Light it up". The Westminster Titans and Thiel Tomcats made sure the game lived up to its billing, lighting up the scoreboard for 82 points and the stat sheet for 878 total yards.
BETHANY, W.Va. – Thiel freshman running back Josh Wannamaker (Derry, Pa./Derry) waited nine weeks for the opportunity he had Saturday against the Bethany Bison. With starting tailback Josh Potter (Chipley, Fla./Chipley) on the mend, Wannamaker got the bulk of his team's carries, and he did not disappoint.
GREENVILLE, Pa. – Senior running back Rich Kolesar (Waterford, Pa./Fort LeBoeuf) scored a 2-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to get the Thiel Tomcats within a touchdown of Thomas More College Saturday during Senior Parent Recognition Day at Alumni Stadium.

GREENVILLE, Pa. – Back in the cozy confines of Alumni Stadium after a 3-week stretch of road games, the Tomcats put an exclamation point on 2013 Homecoming with a 30-3 victory Saturday over the Saint Vincent Bearcats.

WASHINGTON, Pa. – Washington & Jefferson converted three Thiel turnovers into two touchdowns Saturday en route to a 32-19 Presidents' Athletic Conference victory at Cameron Stadium in Washington, Pa.
BEAVER FALLS, Pa. – Trailing the Geneva Golden Tornadoes 28-6 early in the second quarter, the Thiel Tomcats mounted a 22-point comeback to tie the contest in the third quarter. Unfortunately, the rest of the game belonged to the Tornadoes, who went on to defeat the Tomcats 49-28 at Reeves Field in Beaver Falls, Pa.
GREENVILLE, Pa. – It was a photo finish Saturday at Alumni Stadium between the Thiel Tomcats and University of Rochester Yellowjackets. Unfortunately it was the Tomcats who came up a fraction short in a 28-27 non-conference loss.
HUNTINGDON, Pa. – After a 56-yard, eight-play touchdown drive tied the game 7-7 in favor of Thiel at the start of the second half, Juniata scored four unanswered touchdowns en route to a 41-20 victory at Knox Stadium on Saturday. Josh Wannamaker (Derry, Pa./Derry) rushed for a touchdown and 40 yards on 11 carries for the Tomcats while Ryan Radke (Lancaster, N.Y./Lancaster Central) threw for two touchdowns and 151 yards on 8-of-14 passing.
GREENVILLE, Pa. – The Tomcats were on the verge of a major upset over undefeated and PAC-leading Waynesburg University Saturday during homecoming at Thiel College. In the end, however, Waynesburg scored a late touchdown and held on to defeat the scrappy Tomcats, 20-19.
Bethany registered a 20-0 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) victory over the visiting Tomcats Saturday afternoon. Despite the loss, the Tomcat faithful cheered the efforts of Tim Taylor (Girard, Pa./Erie Cathedral Prep) and his record-setting performance at Bison Stadium.
By philosophy or necessity, there are some pretty front-loaded schedules. This week's Around the Nation talks to UW-Eau Claire and Hardin-Simmons about why they chose to challenge themselves.
