Sophomore Joshua Winslow kicked a 22-yard field goal in the second quarter, but host Iowa Central, ranked seventh in Division I, proved more than up to the task in its 53-3 victory over the Chaparrals on Sunday.
 
The Tritons gained 644 yards of total offense against the Chaps. They led 29-3 at halftime and outscored the Chaps 24-0 in the final half.
 
Freshman quarterback Gavin Sukup rushed for 72 yards on 11 carries, and was 10 of 21 passing for 77 yards for COD. Samson Zander gained 49 yards on five carries.
 
Tight end Parker Grimes and wide receiver Marquel Porter each had three receptions.
 
COD, now 4-1 overall, travels to Buffalo, N.Y., to play Erie Community College on Saturday.

Chaps remain No. 1
Sunday's loss at Iowa Central did not impact much NJCAA D3 football poll voters, who ranked the Chaparrals No. 1 again in the Week #5 Sept. 26 poll.

The Chaps (4-1) received 19 points and three 1st-place votes to retain the top spot. Unbeaten at 5-0 Minnesota State (13 points, 1 1st place vote), which defeated Nassau CC on Saturday in Fergus Falls, Minn., is ranked second, followed by North Dakota State College of Science (3-1 overall, 10 points), Nassau (2-3 record, 8 points) and Rochester (3-2 record, 4 points).
