UMC's Lofquist Named Beyond Sports Network All-Super Region 3 Second Team




CROOKSTON, Minn. – University of Minnesota Crookston football player Greg Lofquist (Sr., LB, South St. Paul, Minn./Criminal Justice) was selected to the Beyond Sports Network Division 2 Football All-Super Region 3 Second Team for his performance on the field for the 2014 season. Lofquist is now eligible to be named to the Beyond Sports Network Division 2 All-America Team.

Lofquist, an All-NSIC North Division All-Conference First Team pick, led the Golden Eagles with 160 tackles, which was the most tackles a player has ever had in a single-season at UMC. He surpassed the previous mark set by Neil Austin in 2001. Lofquist’s 98 tackles were also a single-season record, as were his 62 solo tackles. Lofquist led the NSIC in tackles on the season and was third in the nation in total tackles.

The senior was moved to linebacker from defensive end prior to the start of his senior campaign due to injury and far exceeded expectations with his performance. Lofquist had nine-straight games with 10 or more tackles and ended his season with 20 tackles against Minnesota State University Moorhead, which ranks third all-time in a single game. Lofquist had 13.5 tackles for loss, four sacks and one interception on the season.

Four teams were selected for Super Region 3, which includes the NSIC, the Great American Conference (GAC) and the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA).
