WAYNE - Some familiar problems reared their ugly head Saturday, keeping Wayne State football out of the win column for the third time this season.

For the fourth straight game, they lost the turnover battle. For the third straight game, they were penalized more than their opponent. And for the fourth straight game, they failed to score in the third quarter.

That last point proved to be the difference, as Concordia-St. Paul scored 17 unanswered and would score again late in the fourth to beat Wayne State 28-21.

The Wildcats' dry spell negated what had been a brilliant first half, which saw them outgain the Golden Bears 258-115, while holding the ball for almost 21 minutes and converting nine of ten third downs.

But CSP came alive in the second half, outgaining the Wildcats 161-44 in the 3rd quarter, and stopping the Wildcats on a fourth and six late in the fourth quarter.

Concordia-St. Paul is now 3-1 as they travel to St. Cloud St. next week. Wayne St. (1-3) will try to bounce back at home next week against Minnesota-Crookston.
