Justice Lovelace’s 2-yard run gave the Titans the lead in overtime and linebacker Kyle Dietzen’s interception of a Blake Eaton pass sealed the victory over the 21st-ranked Wildcats in a see-saw battle at Titan Stadium. The loss overshadowed a gutsy performance by the Wildcats, who scored the game’s initial points and took a 21-14 lead early in the fourth quarter only to see the Titans pull even with 3:30 left on a 12-yard TD reception by Clayton Schwalbe from Cole Warren.

Warren completed 15 of 19 passes for 180 yards and two TDs for UW-Oshkosh. He did not allow an interception to the Wildcats but was sacked five times, including two by Wildcats defensive end Caleb Sell.
Blake Rybar led all tacklers with 12 total stops, including a sack. Blaze Holani added eight tackles. Johnny Miller, Logan Sloman, Kenyon Johnson, and Nick Severson all contributed six tackles toward the Wildcats’ defensive effort, which saw multiple players leave the contest with muscle cramps.

HEAD COACH JOSEPH SMITH
exceeding expectations
KIn 19 seasons as head coach, Joseph Smith has raised the bar even higher than the legends who came before him nown for a string of consecutive winning seasons that stretches back to 1956 as well as a bevy of conference and national championships, it seems not just anyone is capable of matching the high standards set forth by the Linfield football program.
Now in his 20th season as Linfield head coach, Joseph Smith developed his coaching persona in stages. It took root through an All-America playing career under Hall of Fame coach Ad Rutschman, then blossomed as a defensive coordinator on the 2004 NCAA Division III title-winning team. When Smith succeeded Jay Locey as head coach in 2006, he was more than ready to continue – and ultimately exceed – the winning standards set before him.
Smith owns a career record of 165-31, making him among the most successful program leaders in Division III. His career winning percentage of .842 tops the list of Linfield coaches, is third-best among active Division III coaches and stands 14th all-time across all three NCAA divisions. Perhaps even more remarkable is Smith’s glossy 111-7 career record versus conference opponents, a success rate of 94 percent.
A 13-time Northwest Conference Coach of the Year, Smith has guided the Wildcats to a 13 NWC championships, 13 NCAA playoff appearances and seven unbeaten regular seasons. In 2014, he received national acclaim when he was named the NCAA Division III Coach of the Year.
Smith served as an assistant at Linfield for 13 years, including seven as defensive coordinator from 1999 to 2005. During his first season, the Wildcats finished 6-3, though two of the Wildcats’ losses came at the hands of Top 10 teams and the other was to a NCAA Division II program which enjoyed its best season in many years.
With Smith as defensive coordinator, Linfield finished No. 1 in the NWC in total defense and scoring defense four times.
LINFIELD COACHING CHRONOLOGY
During that span, the Wildcats went 60-6 and made five NCAA Division III playoff appearances. Linfield captured the 2004 Division III national championship with a 28-21 win over Mary Hardin-Baylor, a victory that was clinched by a defensive sack in the waning seconds.
The ’Cats won or shared six NWC titles from 2000 through 2005.
Smith served first as linebackers and defensive line coach before taking over as secondary coach and defensive coordinator.
A second team NAIA All-American in 1992, Smith was a fouryear starter at cornerback and a two-time first team all-conference selection. He earned national distinction as NAIA Division II Defensive Player of the Week in the opening game of 1992, helping Linfield upset second-ranked Pacific Lutheran. He finished his career with 16 interceptions, third-most in program history, and 168 tackles.
Smith was a senior on Linfield’s 1992 team that went 12-1 with its only blemish coming in a 26-13 loss to Findlay (Ohio) in the NAIA Division II national championship game. As a player, he helped the Wildcats capture consecutive CFA-Mt. Hood League championships in 1991 and 1992.

COACHING STAFF ADDITIONS
With family ties to Linfield, Mitch Malot fills a key role as offensive line coach
Four new coaches can be found roaming the Linfield sidelines this fall as Wildcats leader Joseph Smith retools his coaching staff.
Mitch Malot comes to Linfield from UNLV where he served as a graduate assistant coach while working with the offensive line. Prior to UNLV, he coached at NAIA power Carroll College in Helena, Montana and spent two seasons as offensive line coach and run game coordinator at Southern Oregon University. He also coached for two years under former Linfield offensive lineman Tim Frisbie at the College of the Siskiyous in Weed, California.
Malot’s playing career included two years as the starting center at SOU in 2017 and 2018. He also played two seasons at the College of the Siskiyous. He earned a bachelor’s degree at SOU in Interdisciplinary Studies in 2019 before immediately joining the Raiders coaching staff.
Malot is enthusiastic about his new role. His two uncles, Steve Davis and Craig Davis, played football at Linfield in the 1970s.
“I am beyond excited and honored to join the Linfield football program. The opportunity to contribute to the legacy of excellence at Linfield is truly humbling.”
A native of Central Point, Oregon, Malot is a 2015 gradute of Crater High School.
“Being a part of this incredible culture and tradition is something I take great pride in. I’m eager to help continue the winning legacy of Linfield football. We are going to work.”
Former all-star wide receiver Lucas Jepson joins the defensive coaching staff after a playing career spent on the offensive side of the ball. He will supervise the Linfield cornersbacks this fall.
and recruiting coordinator
As a player, Jepson was the starting quarterback at Aloha High School before heading Aptos, California, to play football at Cabrillo College. He played his final two seasons in a Wildcats uniform, graduating in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
Since earning his degree, Jepson has made multiple stops as a high school coach, including at Evergreen High School in Vancouver, Wash. (2013-14), Hillsboro High School (2015), and his alma mater Aloha High School (2016-19). He spent the previous three seasons as receivers coach at George Fox University under former Linfield player and coach Chris Casey.
A health and physical education teacher at Skyline IB K-8 in Portland, Jepson completed a master’s degree in teaching in 2018.
Recent Linfield graduate Jett Searle joins the coaching staff for 2025 and will oversee the safeties, monsterbacks and rovers.
A four-year letterwinner as a safety, Searle saw action in 37 career games and was a member of three Northwest Conference championship teams. During an all-star senior season, he totaled a career-best 32 tackles for the NWC’s top-rated defense.
A native of Hawaii, Seale was an all-state safety at Tualatin High School. He went to complete a bachelor’s degree at Linfield in sport management in 2025.
Current Linfield student Charles Shorb is serving as tight ends coach this fall while he recovers from an injury. Shorb was an all-league tight end and all-state defensive end at Powers High School. The Skyline League Defensive Player of the Year, he helped lead PHS to the Class 1A state quarterfinals as senior.
A sport management major, Shorb aspires to one day become a sports agent.

AROUND THE NORTHWEST
Linfield is the favorite to repeat as NWC champion, but Whitworth, PLU and Lewis & Clark could factor in the race
by Matt Cannizzaro, flosports
Not much has changed in the Northwest Conference over the past decade as far as the teams competing and the ones winning the NWC titles.
As the football season kicks off in the Northwest and nationwide this weekend, here’s a look at a few fun facts about each team.
LINFIELD has won seven conference championships since 2015 and 13 since 2009, including nine straight at one point, while Whitworth has remained the biggest contender and even snagged a pair of titles.
It’s not that the other teams – Pacific Lutheran, Lewis & Clark, Pacific, George Fox, Puget Sound, and Willamette –haven’t been jockeying for positions and moving around over the years; it’s just that Linfield has only lost two NWC games since the start of the 2015 season.
The most impressive and noteworthy thing about Linfield, other than the team’s recent dominance in the NWC, is that the Wildcats own college football’s longest streak of consecutive winning seasons, a mark that began in 1956 and reached 68 years with their 10-2 record in 2024. The next-closest team on the list is Mount Union at 46 years.
LEWIS & CLARK has slowly been working its way up the NWC standings, and if the Pioneers ever were going to be a threat, it would be this season – or soon.
When they take the field in 2025, they’ll be led by new head coach Brett Elliott, who has strong ties to Linfield as a player and a coach. He was the 2005 National Player of the Year there in 2005, and he just spent six years as the team’s offensive coordinator.
Not only will he have insight into what makes Linfield tick, he clearly has the tools and knowledge to help a team succeed.
Lewis & Clark is coming off a three-year resurgence led by Joe Bushman, and a proven winner has just inherited a team on the rise. That sounds like a perfect recipe for success.
To regain the Northwest Conference title in 2024, Linfield defeated Whitworth in the final game of the regular season, 34-7, to remain undefeated in conference play and land atop the standings.
It was just the second time in NWC history that two unbeaten teams (in conference action) met in the final game of the year to decide the champion. The first was 2023 and included the same two programs – Linfield and Whitworth – with Whitworth winning that battle, 28-24.
WHITWORTH won the Northwest Conference crown in 2018 and then finished in the middle of the pack until winning again in 2023.
To take the title in the last regular-season game of the year, the Pirates scored twice in the final quarter, while holding Linfield scoreless, to escape with the 28-24 victory.
Despite relinquishing the title in 2024, Whitworth advanced to the NCAA Division III Playoffs for the second straight season and finished with 10 or more wins for the second consecutive year, too.
The break that came with the COVID-19 pandemic has paid off for PACIFIC LUTHERAN, which hadn’t won more than four games since 2016, but rebounded from the shutdown with nothing but an upward trajectory.
In 2021, the Lutes bounced back from a 2-7 performance in 2019 with a 4-5 record. In 2022, they were 6-4. They slipped a little in 2023, going 5-5, but a redemption run in 2024 ended with a 7-3 record, their best performance in a decade.
At one time, PLU was a regular fixture in the postseason, including a Division III national championship in 1999.
Based on how the Lutes performed last year, there’s no reason they can’t climb a rung or two if Linfield or Whitworth experiences any struggles.
If the strong returning players for PACIFIC can motivate and elevate the rest of the squad, the Boxers could see themselves rise in the NWC standings once again.
On the shoulders of running back Brody Bantolina during his record-setting junior season, Pacific improved from a 2-7/2-5 season in 2023 to 5-5/3-4 in 2024.
Bantolina will be a senior this year and has the experience to lead the team, on and off the field.
The Boxers also might have some momentum heading into the new season, as they stopped a four-game skid last year to end the campaign with a pair of conference wins.
GEORGE FOX will also get a new coach in 2025, and it will be another in-conference move.
Spencer Crace, who previously was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at on-the-rise Pacific Lutheran, takes over for Chris Casey, who helped revive the George Fox football program after a 45-year hiatus and coached the Bruins to a 51-48 record in 11 seasons.
In 2022, George Fox and Pacific Lutheran tied for second place in the Northwest Conference behind undefeated Linfield, so the experience and potential are there for the Bruins.
PUGET SOUND didn’t get a new head coach in the offseason, but the Loggers did make some changes to help turn around a struggling defense that surrendered more than 46 points per game last year.
The offense, on the other hand, was more than solid – it was ranked No. 8 in Division III with 315.5 yards per game.
The Loggers return eight starters on offense, have a strong crew of quarterbacks ready to lead the way and co-coordinators on defense hoping to slow opposing teams and let the Puget Sound offense do its thing.
Though WILLAMETTE has enjoyed past success, it has been a long time since the Bearcats have been in the spotlight – for winning.
Willamette enters the 2025 season having lost 51 consecutive conference games. The Bearcats have posted a 9-68 overall record while recording seven consecutive winless seasons in NWC play.
The good news is that in his first season with the Bearcats, head coach Aric Williams led the team to two early wins, which was one more victory than the team had in 2023.
After having the year to gel, Williams will be back for his sophomore campaign having hopefully learned a lot about his team and what it will take to continue turning things around.

CONSECUTIVE WINNING SEASONS
FOR 68 YEARS, LINFIELD HAS PRODUCED A WINNING TEAM on the football field. Holding the collegiate record for consecutive winning seasons for all levels of NCAA and NAIA, the Wildcats stand alone as the most consistently successful college football program in the nation. All but one member of the Linfield coaching staff, including head coach Joseph Smith, weren’t yet born in 1956 when “The Streak” began. That year, Linfield went unbeaten over its final six games, ending the run of back-to-back losing seasons of 1954 and ’55.

THE WILDCAT BAND
The Wildcat Band continues to support Linfield teams by performing a variety of musical tunes and bringing a fun atmosphere to events of all kinds.
Linfield students of all majors and skill levels are welcome to join the Wildcat Band. As a bonus, band members are eligible for up to $2,000 in scholarships and can earn paracurricular credit for participating. On average, the band rehearses five hours per week, with performances on nights and weekends during football and basketball seasons.
Leading the Wildcat Athletic Band is Joe Ready, who began at Linfield in the fall of 2024.
In addition to his role as Linfield’s band director, Ready is the principal tuba for the Portland Opera and has performed with orchestras in the Pacific Northwest.
Hoping to build the excitement and interest in the band over the next few years, Ready says, “My primary goals for the Wildcat Band are for all members to have fun performing music to the best of their ability, and to continue building camaraderie within the band and the Linfield community.”
HISTORY OF MAXWELL FIELD
Linfield’s beloved Maxwell Field and Memorial Stadium have a distinctive historic feel, yet offer fully modern amenities synthetic field, a polyurethane track, stadium lights, as well as new scoreboard, color video display and pressbox. More than 60,000 square feet of artificial surface was installed. Sand and granule-sized pieces of recycled rubber give the field the necessary cushion.
Maxwell Field has been the home to Linfield football and track teams since 1928. The sports venue has served as host for 26 NCAA Division III football playoff events since 2004 and has served as the host site of the 2005, 2011 and 2017 Northwest Conference track and field championships.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Linfield’s first sports field, circa 1896, was regarded as “the most satisfactory college athletic field in the state,” according to published reports of the time. When Melrose Hall was constructed on the site of the original sports field in 1928, the football team relocated to the southeast portion of campus. The “new” gridiron was named in remembrance of J.O. Maxwell, who donated most of the money necessary to purchase the property. A 700-seat covered stadium was erected along the west sideline.
Over the next two decades, football grew in popularity. At the time, the college had little money available to build a larger football grandstand. However, federal funding was available for construction of college dormitories. School officials, using a creative approach, combined the two projects and the result was Linfield’s one-of-a-kind football facility. In 1947, Memorial Stadium and the accompanying residence hall was completed and named in memory of the Linfield men who died in the service of their country during World War II. The concrete, wood and brick stadium was built with a covered seating capacity of 2,250. When combined with portable seating, capacity is about 4,000.
KEEPING UP WITH THE TIMES
The most significant upgrade to the facility came in the summer of 2004, part of a $1.44 million facelift that was funded entirely by private donations and volunteer labor. The 2004 upgrade added new
NFL-sized field goal posts were put into place in each end zone, four Musco light towers were erected, and 25-second play clocks were upgraded. The finishing touches of the project included a complete demolition and reconstruction of the pressbox. For the first time, the pressbox is entirely enclosed, creating a buffer for statisticians, game operations personnel and members of the media.
RECENT ADDITIONS
In 2020, Maxwell Field welcomed the addition of the largest video board in Division III, a 60-by-30-foot electronic display panel at the northeast corner of Maxwell Field. The project was funded entirely through private contributions. In addition to presenting live video, the video board can display real-time football statistics and track results, as well as sponsor messages and spirit graphics.
Since the conclusion of the 2023 football season, an audio sources integration project was being undertaken, merging together the multiple audio feeds into a single control station. As the Linfield Sports Network evolved to not only stream live video, but also feed a live production facility serving both internal and external audiences, a unified audio system became an absolute must.
New for 2025 are two remote-controlled cameras mounted underneath the Memorial Stadium rooftop. The first camera provides video feeds to the coaches’ boxes and sideline tablets for instant review and feedback. The second camera provides a mid-field feed as one of five cameras integrating into the live webcast stream being produced by the in-house Linfield Sports Network.
ATHLETICS HALL OF FAME
Three record-setting athletes, plus a one-of-a-kind contributor, have been selected for induction into the Linfield Athletics Hall of Fame this fall. They comprise the 27th class of Hall of Fame inductees and are to be enshrined on Saturday, November 14, inside Linfield’s Nicholson Library. Pacific Office Automation again is serving as title sponsor of the annual event, which preceeds the Linfield-Willamette football game scheduled for the following afternoon, November 15.
Here’s a quick glance at each of the 2025 selections: Amanda (Attleberger) Strahm ’08, softball: A four-time first-team all-Northwest Conference honoree, Amanda was a member of four straight NWC title teams and NCAA Division III playoff teams, including two that advanced to the national finals. She was a key contributor on Linfield’s 2007 NCAA championship club, and holds 12 top-10 career records and owns six top-10 single-season marks.
Aaron Boehme ’10, football: A two-time NWC Offensive Player of the Year, D3football.com All-American and Linfield Most Valuable Player, Aaron quarterbacked Linfield to a pair of conference championships and piloted the ’Cats to the national semifinals in 2009. He ranks fourth all-time in single-season offensive years and sixth in career passing touchdowns. After graduation, Aaron spent 12 years as a member of the Linfield football coaching staff.
Kevin Schjei ’02, baseball: A three-year letter winner, Kevin continues to hold the career record for highest batting average of .446 more than 20 years after his graduation. As a senior in 2002, his 74 hits established a new Linfield single-season record, the same season he received second team ABCA All-America recognition. Kevin twice earned first team all-NWC honors at third base.
Billy Maxwell, Class of 1924, meritorious service: A man who did a little bit of everything in support of Linfield Athletics, Billy will be honored posthumously. He ran scoreboards during home games for more than 50 years, helped raise funds to aid Wildcat teams, drove team and fan buses, and served as president of the McMinnville Quarterback Club. He was a fixture at most all Linfield athletic events.

STEPPING UP
New baseball coach Jordan Harlow paid his dues as an assistant for nine years before being elevated to head coach
Linfield graduate Jordan Harlow was named head baseball coach in late May, taking the reins from Dan Spencer, who stepped down to pursue other opportunities.
A three-year letterman and starting third baseman on Linfield’s 2013 NCAA Division III national championship team, Harlow has spent the past nine seasons as a member of the baseball staff, either in the role of assistant coach or associate head coach.
“Linfield has always been home for me,” said Harlow. “It’s a place of strong tradition and championship expectations and the opportunity to serve as the next head baseball coach is humbling This was always the dream job. The Wildcat roots run deep in my family. I’ve been blessed to spend over 12 years as both a player and coach within this program, and I’m honored to be its next leader. We’re all excited for what lies ahead.”
Aided by Spencer, Harlow ensured a smooth transition, both for currently enrolled student-athletes as well as all prospective players who were in contact with the coaching staff and others who are interested in joining the program.
Spencer was the head of the Linfield baseball program for six years. He took over a storied program that had fallen to last place in the Northwest Conference in 2019 and led the Wildcats back to prominence by winning a share of the conference championship three seasons later. Most recently, Linfield placed fourth in the NWC standings and competed in the NWC postseason tournament

IN MEMORY
Three loyal Wildcat backers – Tim Marsh, John Prutsman and Kip Patterson – have passed away in recent months
Tim Marsh, a longtime Wildcat sports supporter, was a writer, photographer, and active community volunteer, passed away June 21 after a short battle with T-cell Prolympho-cytic Leukemia at age 77. Marsh grew up in Tacoma, and graduated from Linfield in 1970, holding down a variety of roles doing something he loved which was help tell the news. He worked at several newspapers in Oregon, including the Oregon Statesman, La Grande Observer and Albany DemocratHerald. The majority of Tim’s career as a communications liaison was at Washington State University.
At Linfield, he enjoyed attending and photographing the action at Linfield football and softball games. Marsh received an “Alumni Service Award” and was a member and president of the college’s alumni council. He ran a blog known as Wildcatville, devoted mainly to Linfield football subjects, but other topics, too. He liked keeping people up to date and many times would send or mail articles or pictures to friends he thought would be interested.
Survivors include Diane, his wife of 48 years, and daughter Emily.
John Prutsman, passed away March 21. He had a deep love for his hometown of Portland, residing in the same home he and his wife, Evelyn, shared for over 62 years - just a mile from where he was raised.
Prutsman attended Lincoln High School and went on to earn his bachelor’s degree from Linfield in 1958. He proudly proclaimed his connection with the 1956 Linfield football team that started “The Streak” of consecutive winning seasons. He was an annual donor to the Linfield TopCat Club and served on the Linfield Athletics Hall of Fame Selection Committee. With a long, distinguished career in industrial chemical sales, he built lasting friendships with colleagues and clients alike.
Prutsman sang in a barbershop quartet, worked as a volunteer at Fort Vancouver, served as a Boy Scout troop leader, was a member of the Portland Rainmakers, climbed with The Mazamas, and was an honored Toastmaster.
John is survived by his wife, Evelyn, daughter, Linda Redmond, son, Jim Prutsman, as well as six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
Kip Patterson passed away March 23 at age 74. He touched many lives as a teacher, coach, athlete, driving instructor and sports official. Born in Salem, Ore., he went on to graduate from Lake Oswego High School in 1968. He turned down a full ride ROTC scholarship at the University of Idaho to attend Linfield, eventually earning a degree in health and physical education in 1972. Patterson was a four-year baseball letterwinner for coaches Roy Helser and Ad Rutschman and was a starting infielder on Linfield’s 1971 NAIA national title team.
Patterson’s teaching career began at Redmond Junior High School in central Oregon where he spent two years before returning to Lake Oswego to teach health and physical education at the school district he attended as a youth. Along with teaching, Patterson coached baseball, football, softball, basketball and wrestling at various times until his retirement in 2013.
Patterson was an avid supporter of Linfield alumni events and attended Wildcat sports events both at home and on the road, including NCAA Division III championship games in both football and baseball. He is survived by Natalie, his wife of 53 years, daughter, Kristie; son, Todd; four grandchildren, two sisters and several extended family.
