The #2-ranked Grand Valley State Lakers took a trip up north across the Mackinac Bridge to Marquette, Michigan to take on the winless Northern Michigan Wildcats on Saturday afternoon and left no doubt in disposing of the home team by a 73-14 final to improve to 6-1 overall and 3-0 in GLIAC play.

One of the many bright spots from the road victory was senior kicker Josh Gorball, who has tabbed as the GLIAC’s Special Teams Player of the Week after going perfect in extra points and drilling a career long field goal at the end of the first half that also marked the second-longest field goal in program history.
