Bluejays Fall to Vikings on Senior Day

RECAP

ELMHURST, Ill. - The Elmhurst University football team fell, 8-31, to the North Park Vikings Saturday afternoon at Langhorst Field.

Elmhurst (2-7, 1-7 CCIW) held the Vikings scoreless in the first quarter, but a 24-point second quarter proved to be enough to allow North Park (5-4, 4-4 CCIW) to secure the victory.

On offense, Elmhurst found their lone score on a touchdown pass from Connor Buyck (11-for-27 for 118 yards) to Jacob Cockrell (four receptions for 56 yards), with Bryce Pagel securing the two-point conversion for Elmhurst.

Defensively, Bryce Gable tallied 12 total tacks (six solo, six assisted) while adding a sack for a nine-yard loss. Chris Reaves tallied 11 tackles (eight solo) and a pass break up, while Jeffrey Leighliter and Connor Devries grabbed interceptions in the game.

UP NEXT

Elmhurst will hit the road next week, traveling to Bloomington, Ill. for a 1:00 p.m. CT kickoff at Illinois Wesleyan to wrap up the 2023 season.
