Receiver Rises In Hope Football Record Books During Loss To Adrian

Box Score

Receiver Matt Kroll moved up the Hope College football record book in two categories during a 14-3 loss to Adrian on a rainy and cold Saturday at Smith Stadium.

The senior from Grand Haven, Michigan (Grand Haven HS) is now fourth with 129 career receptions and seventh with 1,801 career receiving yards.

Kroll caught a game-high five receptions for 67 yards for the Flying Dutchmen (2-6 overall, 0-4 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association).

Hope's points came on a 36-yard field goal from sophomore Darren Ford of Howell, Michigan (Howell HS) midway through the second quarter.

The Flying Dutchmen's 3-0 lead lasted only briefly.

Twenty-one seconds later, Adrian running back Emanuel Stewart ripped off a 69-yard touchdown run to give Adrian (5-3, 2-2 MIAA) the lead for good. The Bulldogs added another touchdown 42 seconds before halftime.

Sophomore defensive back Mason Rosado of Holland, Michigan (Holland HS) topped Hope with 12 tackles.

Sophomore linebacker Jacob Pardonnet of Brighton, Michigan (Brighton HS) made 11 tackles.

The Flying Dutchmen honored 20 seniors during pre-game ceremonies: Kroll, Kody Alber, Zac Boersema, Jacob Boersma, Dean DeVries, Max Elder, Stephen Gerger, Keegan Goalen, Alex Harless, Jake Helm, Spencer Iobe, Alex Issa, Colin Kelly, Rob Kish, Taylor Myer, Brandon Parcell, Jared Ropp, Rodger Thompson, David Veasley and Ethan Zimmerman.

It was the regular-season home finale for Hope.
