Bell-ringing effort lifts Wayne State over Hillsdale in homecoming game

Freshman tailback Joique Bell ran for 278 yards and four touchdowns on a career-high 51 carries in Wayne State's 41-26 homecoming victory over Hillsdale. It was the third-highest single-game rushing total in WSU history - Bell set the record with 318 on Sept. 16 against Mercyhurst - and his four touchdowns tied a school and personal record. Warrior freshman quarterback Trent Pohl completed 12 of 20 passes for 170 yards and one touchdown. Nick Brody had 103 of those yards on seven receptions. With four games remaining, Wayne State 5-2 (5-1 in the GLIAC) has more wins than in any other season since 1994, and a postseason bid remains a possibility. "This was a total team effort," WSU head coach Paul Winters said.
