The Tabor College football team stopped Friends University only once in the first half, an the Falcons won in a walk, 58-6.

That stop came when Tabor forced and recovered a fumble to end the Falcons second drive Saturday.

Sean Retting knocked the ball out of Javis Franklin’s hands, and it was recovered by Ryan Palmer.

Trailing 7-0, the Bluejays marched 25 yards on seven plays—18 of which came on a thunderous run by fullback Seth Ramsey—but ended up stymied on the Friends 19.

The Tabor College volleyball team improved its conference record to 4-3 on the season so far, defeating Southwestern Tuesday (Sept. 30) and McPherson Thursday in three games apiece.

But the Bluejays were not able to carry enough momentum into Saturday’s triangular at Kansas Wesleyan to get by the Coyotes, with a 5-set loss leaving a sour taste that could not be sweetened by a thorough thumping of non-conference opponent York (25-15, 25-16, 25-23).

Tabor took the first and fourth games against the defending...

The Tabor College men's cross country team finished 11th out of 14 teams Friday at the Jock's Nitch Emporia State University Invitational in Emporia, Kan.
