Box Score The Hamline football team is anxious to play their first home game of the season next Saturday against Carleton. Life on the road has been rough lately.

Defensively, Jordan Deno had another solid day with seven tackles and a pair of pass breakups. Jonaton Jeanty also had seven stops and Dalton Pakkala added six. The Pipers had eight tackles for loss, led by Noah Jacobson with a 1.5. 

HU trailed 10-0 early in the second quarter when Spriggs connected with Josiah Harris for a 38-yard strike that moved the ball to the GAC 14. On the next play, Barber went in for his first college score. Kale Wurdeman added the extra point to make it 10-7 but that was close as Hamline would get. 

The Pipers now turn their attention to Carleton (0-4, 0-2 MIAC) for next Saturday's prime time showdown at Klas Field. The annual night game will start at 7:00 p.m.
