Clark ties school career interception record in season finale

Box Score GRINNELL, Iowa – Andrew Clark '14 tied the Grinnell College football program record for interceptions in a career during the Pioneers' season finale Saturday at Rosenbloom Field.

Clark's pick was the 14th of his career, tying Matt Johnston as the Pioneers lost a 45-0 decision to Cornell College in a game interrupted for 50 minutes in the first period by lightning.

Clark also led Grinnell in tackles with 13, including nine solos, while Colton Feller '14 had nine solos while finishing with 12 tackles overall. David Ternes '15 had nine tackles and an interception, and Kevin Hwang '14 also had nine stops.

Offensively, TJ Goetz '14 completed 20-of-38 passes for 203 yards. Jayson Campos '14 had eight catches for 90 yards, while Jacob Meixler '15 and Emmi Sandoval '16 had three catches each.

Cornell scored a pair of touchdowns in the first period for a 14-0 lead, and added two more in the second to go up 28-0 at the break. Grinnell did threaten in both periods, driving to Cornell's 19-yard line in the first quarter before an interception ended the drive and moving all the way to the Rams' 6 and 18 only to see those drives stopped on downs and an interception.

Cornell tacked on 10 more points in the third period and seven in the fourth.

Grinnell finishes its 2013 campaign with a 2-7 mark in Midwest Conference play and 2-8 record overall, while Cornell ends at 7-2 and 7-3.
