Box Score - North Park v. Carthage
Despite nearly 400 yards of total offense, the Vikings had their two-game win streak snapped against Carthage College Saturday afternoon with a 14-6 loss in College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin action.
Seeking their third-straight win against the Red Men in as many seasons, NP trimmed a slim 7-0 deficit to 7-6 when junior quarterback T.D. Conway and the Viking offense engineered a seven-play, 87-yard drive culminating in Conway's 13-yard touchdown pass to sophomore Devin Childress with 5:25 left in the third quarter, but Carthage held off the visitors' rally with another score early in the fourth quarter.
North Park finished with 24 first downs and 376 yards with 292 coming through the air. Conway finished the day completing 24 of his 49 passes. Childress had 11 catches for 137 yards while senior Anthony Burton added seven receptions for 91 yards. On the ground, sophomore Filo Langkilde garnered 32 yards on nine carries while Matthew Chapp added six carries for 32 yards as well.
Defensively NP recorded seven tackles for a loss of 13 yards with Chaun Maiava collecting three for a loss of six yards. He finished the day with seven total tackles, three solo while both Hunter Corrigan and Parker Czaja had five tackles each. David Simmons, Jr. also had one interception and both John Kellum and Matt DiFecchio each had a pass breakup.
North Park (2-7, 1-5) looks to rebound next Saturday as it finishes out the 2015 season hosting Illinois Wesleyan University for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
