RIVER FALLS, Wis. – The football team from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls moved up to the sixth spot in the national Division III top 25 rankings of both D3football.com and the AFCA.
In their first game at Ramer Field, which took place on September 21st, the Falcons, who were ranked seventh or eighth the previous week, defeated Greenville University by a score of 66-7.
After scoring 35 points in the first quarter alone, the Falcons went on to score another 21 points in the second half to take a 56-0 advantage into halftime.
This was the beginning of the Falcons’ successful run that led to their victory. A further ten points were scored by UWRF in the second half, but it wasn’t until the Panthers scored late in regulation that they were able to overcome the shutout.
With 53.5 points scored per game, UWRF is now ranked ninth in all of Division III after playing two games in 2024.
On this coming Saturday, the University of Washington will play Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati, Ohio, to conclude its non-conference campaign.
