Led by Head Coach Jeff Thorne, North Central College's Cardinals football team captured the NCAA Division III National Championship in football on Dec. 20 with a 41-14 victory over the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater at the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl in Shenandoah, Texas. Although it is the College's first national title in football, North Central has now clinched 40 national titles in a variety of sports, including women's basketball, men's cross country, men's indoor and outdoor track & field, and women's triathlon. The College's first national championship was a men's swimming and diving title in 1958.
"The Cardinal football team's national championship was the culmination of an astounding decade for North Central College and our athletics programs," College President Troy D. Hammond said. "Over the past 10 years, the Cardinals have brought 17 team national titles back to Naperville, which puts the College in rare company across all divisions of NCAA athletics. The support that our players and teams receive from the community is a critical part of their success — and part of what makes being a North Central Cardinal so special. And while we celebrate success on the playing field, the record that we're most proud of is North Central's long history of helping students exceed their personal best inside and outside of the classroom and go on to become winners in life."
