Carleton news: Johnnies Answer Knights’ Late Score, Steal MIAC Title

NORTHFIELD, Minn.––Matt Frank (Sr./Caledonia, Minn.) caught a 4-yard TD pass with less than a minute left to give Carleton a 10-7 lead, but Saint John’s drove 63 yards in a little more than 40 seconds, capped by a 22-yard TD catch by Jeff Schnobrich from Joe Boyle to give the Johnnies a thrilling 14-10 win over the Knights.

The win gives the Saint John’s the MIAC title outright and the NCAA Playoff bid, and denies Carleton its first conference crown since 1992. The Knights finish the season at 7-3 overall, tied for second in the MIAC standings and Carleton’s best season in 16 years.

  1. Carleton Football had a great season they beat teams that beat the johnnies such as Bethel and Concordia. The M.I.A.C. is a great place to watch football and Carleton was ranked several times this year in the division iii polls I am proud to be a Carleton fan and bleed blue and gold and do it with class than be red and white and be arrogant Go KNIGHTS We Love you
