Carthage Overcomes Vikings in Final Game

KENOSHA, WI (November 15, 2003) - Despite 180 yards passing by quarterback Mike Haehn, North Park University (NPU) lost its final game of the season on Saturday, a 21-3 decision to Carthage College.

Haehn completed 16 of 33 passes overall. Nine of his tosses went to wide receiver Jon Harris, who totaled 100 yards of reception yardage. Harris had three catches for 27 yards and Haehn scrambled 17 yards on North Park's lone scoring drive, which ended with Christian Thomsen kicking a 30-yard field goal early in the second quarter.

Unfortunately, three interceptions by Carthage and a goal-line stand helped thwart a North Park comeback after Carthage mounted a 14-0 first period lead.

Freshman defensive back Harold Robinson intercepted a pass and led the visiting Vikings with seven solo tackles and three assists. North Park ended its season 2-8 overall, 0-7 in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW).

Dante Washington had 259 yards and two touchdowns for Carthage, which finished its season 3-7 overall, 1-6 in the CCIW.
