The Emporia State football team capitalized on four turnovers and 11 Missouri Western penalties to stun the Griffons 30-10 on Homecoming at MWSU.

Missouri Western had its best offensive output of the season, outgaining the Hornets 509-335 but were hurt by 135 yards in penalties, three interceptions and a fumble. Two missed field goals also loomed large in the team’s second straight loss to Emporia State.

Skyler Windmiller completed 26 of his 51 passes for a career-high 339 yards and one touchdown. Stephon Weaver and Josh Walker became the second and third receivers to have 100 yard games in the last two weeks. Weaver finished with three catches for 114 yards and Walker had six receptions for 108. Raphael Spencer turned in another 100 yard performance, netting 108 yards on 23 carries.

Stephen Juergens led the defense with nine total tackles, followed by eight from Michael Jordan. Cody Lindsay finished with seven tackles, 2.5 for loss with 1.5 sacks.

The Griffons fall to 5-3 on the year and head to Maryville to take on Northwest Missouri State next saturday at 1:00 PM.
