ALLENDALE, Mich.-Bart Williams completed 16 of 28 passes for 237 yards, three touchdowns and one interception as the #2 Grand Valley State Lakers routed Dixie State 35-14 Saturday in non-conference Division II football action.
The loss for the Trailblazers dropped them to 4-2 on the season and snapped their 4-game winning streak.
However, as this was not a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference game for Dixie State, the loss does not hurt them in their hopes of winning a league title and possibly earning a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs.
The Lakers’ star receiver, Austin Paritee, hauled in 6 grabs for 121 yards and three scores, helping Grand Valley State improve to 6-0 on the season.
In defeat, Easton Smith completed 7 of 12 passes for 103 yards and two scores for the Trailblazers, while Xavier Smith hauled in five grabs for 72 yards to pace Dixie State.
Dixie State returns home and to RMAC play October 13 as they host the Western State Mountaineers of Gunnison, Colo. in a 1:00 p.m. kickoff.
