University of Mary Athletics

A powerhouse that dominated the opposition throughout the season, the 1999 University of Mary football team advanced to the NAIA semifinals, one of only two Marauders teams to reach that height of achievement.
 
Under the direction of Hall of Fame Coach Myron Schulz, the Marauders finished 11-2 overall to equal the school record for wins in a season. As the North Dakota College Athletic Conference champion with a perfect 5-0 record, eight of the nine wins in regular season came by at least 21 points. The closest victory was a 24-17 home win over Dickinson State University to cap a perfect conference season. After a 56-7 win over national power Carroll College in the final game of the regular season, the Marauders rolled past Si Tanka 34-3 in the NAIA playoff opener. In the second round, the Marauders avenged their lone loss of the regular season with a 7-3 win over Rocky Mountain College. The amazing season ended the following week in the national semifinals at Northwest Oklahoma. 
 
The Marauders set several team records, including marks for fewest yards allowed per game (178), fewest rushing yards allowed per game (35.6), most touchdowns scored (65) and total points scored (460). All-Americans in 1999 included Eric Volk, David St. Claire, Seth Maier, Quintin Cradle, Kyle Sires and Jason Davis. Additionally, senior quarterback Chris Schwab joined the All-American contingent earning 1^st team All-NDCAC honors
