Keys to Salem

Here is a brief look at some keys for each team in both of Saturday's NCAA D3 Semi-Final games.  The winners will meet in Salem, VA to play in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl for the NCAA D3 National Championship.

Wesley at Mount Union


Wesley

  • Keep their emotions under control and play relatively mistake free football.
  • Get off to a fast start and make Mount Union come from behind.
  • Rotate players regularly on the defensive side to avoid getting worn down.
Mount Union
  • Establish the run to take pressure off their quarterbacks.
  • Get off to a fast start.
  • Disrupt the rhythm of Shane McSweeny

St. Thomas at Wisconsin-Whitewater

St. Thomas 
  • Avoid giving UW-W early momentum.
  • Stay with the run to avoid becoming one dimensional.
  • Not allow the magnitude of the moment to affect how they play.
UW-Whitewater
  • Prevent big plays in the passing game and special teams.
  • Continue their stretch of premier ball protection.
  • Take advantage when the big play opportunities present themselves.
