Illinois Wesleyan built a 23-0 lead before Hope scored on Vincent Boddy?s 5-yard touchdown catch from Michael Atwell with 3 minutes, 51 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Hope added another score with 5:07 remaining the game when Christian Subdon recovered the fumble of teammate Brian Lynn in the end zone for a touchdown.
?The thing that hurt us in the first half was that it was one guy here and there,? Hope coach Dean Kreps said. ?It wasn?t like it was a play that wasn?t working or they were dominating, but we?d have a breakdown over here or on the other side. You can?t do that.?
The Flying Dutchmen limited Illinois Wesleyan to 33 yards rushing and the fewest amount of points to an opponent this season. Hope yielded 112 points in the previous two games combined.
?We made some personnel changes,? Kreps said. ??We moved (Mark) Karam back to nickel back and we moved Santino (DeCesare) to free safety and I think that helped us. They were in on a lot of plays.?
Hope scored a season-low 13 points and was outgained in yards 336-119, including 60 yards rushing.
