NEW ULM, Minn. - Martin Luther College senior running back Austin DeNoyer became the football program's all-time leading rusher in Sunday's game against Augsburg University.

The rushing yards record joins several other MLC records held by DeNoyer, including the school single-season record for rushing yards (1,358) last season, as well as the career record for average yards per game (118.2).
