ST. PAUL, MINN. (September 10, 2016) - Fourth ranked St.Thomas rolled out to a 29-0 lead in the second quarter before UW-Stout could even get on the board, the Tommies proved to be too much as the fourth ranked Tommies downed the Blue Devils, 57-17, at O'Shaunassy Field.

The only two touchdowns came from Jordan Dabney (Sr, Monteca, Cal.) who scored twice in the game, once on a 42-yard pass from Jay Alston (So, Rochester, Minn.) to put Stout on the board in the second quarter and again in the third quarter, a 13-yard pass from QB Danny Farley (Sr, Boonton Township, NJ). Dabney pulled in six passes for 76 yards and ran his TD production to four on the year. Drew Pearson (So, Wausua) punched a 26-yard field goal through in the third quarter.
