Central Lakes College fell, 42-12, to Iowa Central in the Graphic Edge Bowl today in Cedar Falls,Iowa.

The Tritons (6-4) led, 28-0 at halftime, using a pair of fumbles by QB Carson Wessinger (12-27-1-137 yds.) and a number of defensive lapses to dominate play. In the second half the spread went to 42-0 before the Raiders got untracked and into Triton territory. Interceptions and a poor punt stymied CLC until the fourth quarter. The Raiders marched 66 yards in 8 plays to get their first TD on 26-yard Wessinger-John Ulrich pass but missed the point-after to trail 42-6 with 8 minutes to go. Jordan Hayes (11-28) ran one yard for the last TD with 2:34 left. CLC had five turnovers and just 33 yards of total offense through three quarters. The winners outgained CLC, 358-199. “We just ran into a very good football team,” said Coach Medeck. ICCC has now won six straight bowl games, mainly in the “friendly” confines of the UNI-Dome.
