Grinnell football team drops road game at Concordia of Chicago

RIVER FOREST, Ill. - Grinnell College's football team dug itself into a first-half hole and couldn't quite climb out as Concordia of Chicago posted a 42-7 victory Saturday afternoon.

Grinnell's defense forced a punt on Concordia's opening drive, but the Cougars scored on their next two possessions. The Pioneer defense held the hosts on their next two series, the second ended when CJ Readon '27 picked off a pass.

However, the Cougars tacked on two more touchdowns for a 28-0 halftime lead. The hosts added two more scores in the fourth period before Grinnell ended the scoring with a TD late in the game. Will Weber '29 helped spark the drive with a 10-yard pass to Bennett Destino '27, while Andre Lopez '30 rumbled for 29 yards on four carries. Weber finished off the series with a 17-yard scoring pass to Caden Revelle '30. Ryan Feldman '29 kicked the point after.

Lopez gained 98 yards on 20 carries, while Weber completed 4-of-10 passes for 46 yards.

Defensively, Luke Konczal '29 led the charge with 12 tackles including eight solos, a sack and 2.5 tackles for loss. Cayden Beyer '30 added nine stops, Nolan Novak '29 added eight and Ajay Griffin '27 tallied five. 

Grinnell, 1-1 on the season, opens Midwest Conference play next Saturday at Lake Forest College. Concordia improved to 2-0.
