The Coyotes improved to 4-4 with an 63-0 win over North Greenville last week. Southern Oregon’s last game was on Oct. 25 when it defeated Mary Hardin-Baylor, 40-28 in Ashland, OR.

    The Coyotes made the long trek to North Greenville worthwhile with a 63-0 win over the Crusaders on Saturday, Nov. 1. A 35-point second quarter outburst proved key for the Coyotes. USD had an interception return for a touchdown by Tyler Spease, a kickoff return for a touchdown by Jeremy Blount, three passing touchdowns by Noah Shepard, and rushing touchdowns from Shepard, Chris Ganious and Matt Lee in the win.

    The Coyotes outgained NGU, 521-101 and recorded their second shutout of 2008. Shepard was 10-for-12 passing for 125 yards and three scores. Ganious rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown. Dan Skelly, Dustin Nowotny and Brandon White all caught touchdowns for USD.

    Ryan Routh led the USD defense with seven tackles. Ko Quaye had a big game as well with five tackles (three for a loss), a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
