With their exciting 34-33 victory on Saturday, Oct. 10 in the waning seconds against Homecoming opponent Pacific Lutheran University, Gustavus won its first Homecoming game since 2005. The Gusties won in thrilling fashion with quarterback Jordan Becker throwing a one-yard touchdown pass to Elliot Herdina with 0:12 seconds remaining in regulation play. Both Becker and Herdina had career games. Becker completed 26 of 41 passes for 310 yards and 5 touchdowns with no interceptions. Herdina had 11 catches for 141 yards and 2 touchdowns including the game-winning score. After a low first half score of 7-7, the two teams exploded for a combined 53 points in the second half. Gustavus will host Carleton College in an important MIAC game next Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
