TOPEKA - The Washburn Ichabods improved to 3-0 after topping Central Missouri 42-27 in Yager Stadium. The win was the sixth straight overall win dating back to last season - something that no Ichabod team has done since 1964 - while in the process snapping an eight-game losing streak to the Mules. The Washburn Ichabods will step out of the MIAA as they take on Central Washington at 3 p.m. CST in Ellensburg, Wash., next weekend.

The Ichabods jumped on the board first as Jordan Brill hooked up with Mike Odupitan on a 45-yard pass reception capping a six-play, 95-yard drive. The Mules would score their only two points in the first half on a safety late in the first quarter.

The Ichabods rounded out the scoring in the first half with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Jarod Tetuan. It was a busy day for Tetuan as he played both offense and defense for the Ichabods as well as special teams. He had one rush, one carry, one punt return and six tackles in the game.

In the second half, the Mules jumped on the board first as Spencer Webb hit a 32-yard field goal. The teams traded scores as the Cason Lehman caught a 19-yard touchdown pass from Brill - the second of his third TD passes on the day.
