CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — Campbellsville Tiger golf stayed even keel Tuesday and finished seven strokes better than Cumberland University to take the annual Campbellsville Invitational title. Wade Cave shot a 78 in the final round and held on late to win his first career tournament as a Tiger. "The team showed a lot of determination and fight to come back after a not-so-hot round yesterday," said CU head coach Kenny Lawson. "This should give us great confidence and momentum going into our next tournaments." By Jordan Alves

No. 6 Tigers pick up big 48-14 win over No. 24 KCU
Georgetown College forced four fumbles, three coming at very key moments, but none more important than a third quarter recovery that stopped No. 24 Kentucky Christian University's momentum.
Jake Blust forced the fumble deep in GC territory and recovered. The Tigers took over on their own two, drove 98 yards in 19 plays for almost nine minutes to break the Knights back in a 48-14 win Saturday at Toyota Stadium.
"Our defense had a great game," said GC coach Bill Cronin. "They scored two of our first three touchdowns and forced four turnovers."
Georgetown improves to 3-0
KCU falls to 3-2

Visitor - (17) Lindsey Wilson 21
The No. 17-ranked Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) football team's upset bid fell short today as No. 4-ranked Faulkner (Ala.) beat the Blue Raiders 28-21 in the NAIA Football Game of the Week at Billy D. Hilyer Stadium. Faulkner quarterback Terrell Robinson found Rob Lockhart for a 24-yard touchdown with 5:00 left for the eventual game-winner as the Eagles improved to 5-0 on the season. Lockhart's highlight-reel catch -- a leap over two Blue Raider defenders in the front of the endzone -- capped a 7-play, 65-yard drive to complete the come-from-behind win. Lindsey Wilson would have two more drives over the final five minutes, but were turned away each time by the stingy Faulkner defense to secure the win. LWC FALLS TO 3-2 FAULKNER IMPROVES TO 2-2
Campbellsville 31
Belhaven 13
Campbellsville University dominated the second half Saturday for a come-from-behind victory at Belhaven, 31-13, in its first road test of the season. Campbellsville trailed 13-11 at the half, but put together a 20-point second half at H.T. Newell Field to hold on to its first-place standing in the Mid-South Conference West at 2-0
"It's a tough conference. (At our level), it's like the SEC. You have to show up and play every week. If you don't show up and play every week, the team with the worst record can knock you off," CU head coach Perry Thomas said. "We overcame some trying situations, and a win like this on the road does a lot for your character."

Tiffin Holds Off Pioneers 23-21
The Malone University football team endured a narrow 23-21 defeat in its Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) contest at Tiffin University on Saturday afternoon. The Pioneers and Dragons had split their last four meetings prior to Saturday's match-up. Three of those four contests were decided by six points or less, including a pair of games won by Malone in double overtime. Saturday's game was no different - a back-and-forth affair that was not decided until the final minute of action.
Malone will be back in action next Saturday with a 7:00 p.m. contest at Ashland University. Fans can catch all the action live on the Malone Sports Network (radio broadcast on ESPN 990 AM or streaming live at www.espn990.com).
