ROLLA, Mo. – Missouri S&T looks to complete a sweep of its two-game stretch in the state of Illinois Saturday as it faces Quincy University in a 1 p.m. Great Lakes Valley Conference contest on the Hawks' campus.

The Miners evened their record at 4-4 on the season and moved to 2-3 in conference play after a 29-10 win Sunday over McKendree.  After seeing the game get moved to Sunday due to weather that came through the St. Louis area on Saturday, the Miners jumped out to a 22-0 halftime lead as they snapped a three-game losing streak to the Bearcats.

Quincy comes into the game at 4-3 overall and 2-2 in the GLVC after losing 44-21 at Truman State on Saturday, a game in which the Hawks fell behind 24-0 in the first half of play.  Saturday's game will be just the third home game of the season for Quincy.

ABOUT THE MINERS: Missouri S&T used a strong rushing attack and kept McKendree's potent offensive attack in check to pick up the win on Sunday, as it ran for a season-high 292 yards that included a career-best 196 from Evan Wells (Roxana, IL/Roxana) to help him earn the GLVC's Offensive Player of the Week honor.

Wells scored two touchdowns in the contest, which included a 99-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to seal the win after the S&T defense recorded an interception in the red zone on the previous play.  The 99-yard run was not only the longest running play in school and conference history, but also the longest play from scrimmage in both realms all-time.

Wells enters the week ranked fourth in the GLVC in rushing with 441 yards on the season while quarterback Jake Farrell (Scottsdale, AZ/Notre Dame Prep), who completed16-of-29 throws for 147 yards and a touchdown Sunday, went over the 2,000-yard mark on the season in the contest.  Farrell has completed 60.3 percent of his throws on the year (179-of-297) for 2,054 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Justis Braden (Liberty, MO/Liberty North) leads the Miners on the receiving front with 31 catches for 302 yards and Brennen Taranto (Weston, FL/Western) – who caught the touchdown pass on Sunday – has 30 receptions for 315 yards and three scores.  Reid Weber (St. Charles, MO/Francis Howell) has a team-leading six touchdown receptions and has hauled in 29 passes for 362 yards, a total that leads the S&T receiving corps.

Defensively, the Miners held McKendree to just 68 yards on the ground and forced three turnovers, including interceptions by Reid Meekins (Houston, TX/Cypress Falls) and Justin Gniedziejko (Chicago, IL/Taft) in the fourth quarter that thwarted any late comeback hopes for the Bearcats.

Seneca Bradley (Clarksville, TN/Rossview) Jr., leads the team in tackles with 60 and Cameron Sturgell (Lamar, MO/Lamar) has recorded 51 stops after making 10 tackles on Sunday.  Bentley Hart (Brookland, AR/Brookland) leads S&T with 11 tackles behind the line of scrimmage which ranks fourth in the GLVC and has added 3.5 sacks and two forced fumbles, while Christian Kemp (Madison, AL/Bob Jones), who has five tackles for a loss, has recorded three sacks of his own this season as the Miners have reached the quarterback 15 times this season.
