NSIC Division Standings

An encouraging effort by the MSUM defense caught the eye of Dragon head coach Steve Laqua in a 23-7 loss at Mary last week.

MSUM held Mary to just 274 total yards -- the fewest the Dragon defense has allowed in a game this season -- including just 85 yards on 36 carries on the ground (2.4 yard per carry average).

“I felt like our defense played great football,” MSUM head coach Steve Laqua said. “It gave us a chance to win the game. It certainly was another step in the right direction with that unit. We executed the gameplan well.”

Three turnovers and a safety proved costly for MSUM however.

“We just let too many chances get away from us,” Laqua said. “Our execution wasn’t where it needed to be. That ultimately is what held us back from winning.”

MSUM will look to build on its defensive effort while continuing to develop an offense that has nine freshmen starting.

“We’ve started to get a defense that we can hang our hat on,” Laqua said. “They’re playing at a level that is going to allow us to compete in every game. We’ve got to keep building on that. We have to keep doing our best to bring our young offense around and increase our level of execution.”

2012 HIGHLIGHTS• Laqua signed 23 recruits on his first full signing day on Feb. 1.

COACHING RESUME• Steve Laqua was named Head Coach in the spring of 2011, becoming the 17th Football Coach in the 93-year history of the program. 2012 is his 6th year as a head coach and the 2nd at the collegiate level.• In his first season, Laqua led the Dragons to a 2-9 record including his first game as a collegiate head coach and an overtime win on homecoming.• Laqua coached four players to the All-NSIC team, one to the first team, one to the second, and two to honorable mention.• Laqua spent four season as the Shanley Deacons head coach prior to joining MSUM.

COACHING BIOSteve Laqua joined the Dragon coaching ranks as the 17th Head Coach in school history in the spring of 2011, taking the helm of the football program in its 92nd year in existence. He came to the Dragons after a turning around the Fargo Shanley High School program, as it’s head coach for four seasons.

In his first season, Laqua led the Dragons to a 2-9 record including an opening-day victory and a thrilling overtime win on homecoming. Four players were named to the All-Northern Sun Intercol-legiate Conference team while making a national impact. Jeff Schuette, named to the All-NSIC Second Team, was eighth in the country in tackles followed closely by Tyler Brody, named to the All-NSIC Honorable Mention Team, who was 18th. Laqua signed 23 recruits during his first full offseason to prepare his team for the 2012 season.

Prior to his reign at Shanley, the Deacons had two winless seasons, and under Laqua’s guidance became North Dakota State Football Champions during his third year (2009). The team won a tight battle over Devils Lake, 31-30. In 2010, he coached the Deacons to their second state title, as the team topped Devils Lake on a field goal as time expired, 24-21.

Laqua was honored as the the 2009 and 2010 North Dakota High School AA Coach of the Year. During the 2009 season, the Deacon’s began their 20-game winning streak, a streak that was ac-tive when Laqua resigned his position.

Prior to joining the prep-ranks, Laqua served as the Running Backs, Tight Ends and Punt Team Coach at North Dakota State from January 2005-March 2007, where he coached five All-Ameri-cans including Tyler Roehl and Mike Dragosavich.

While at NDSU, Laqua was one of the team’s top recruiters, as he was heavily involved in recruit-ing players from North Dakota, South Dakota and western Minnesota.

He also served as the Bison’s academic coordinator where he implemented a program that put an emphasis on study skills and a college degree. As a result, the team had 21-Academic All-Confer-ence players during his two-year stint at NDSU.

For the 2004 season, Laqua was the Minnesota Crookston Golden Eagles’ Offensive Coordinator, where he led an offense that led the NSIC in rushing yards, yards per attempt and least turnovers. During that season, he directly coached an NCAA DII All-American Freder Rollins, who was also named a National Player of the Week during the season.

The Golden Eagle offense set records for rushing yards in a season, as well as single game marks. He directed the Golden Eagle offense that led the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference in rush-ing yards, yards per attempt and least turnovers per game.

His coaching experience also extends to one season at St. Olaf College, in Northfield, Minn., where he was the Outside Linebackers Coach. He also served his first stint at NDSU as a Graduate As-sistant Coach for tight ends in 2002-03.

Laqua had a decorated career at North Dakota State as a Division II student-athlete, playing quarterback for the Bison. He was an Academic All-Conference member for three years as well as graduated with honors. He earned his Masters of Education from NDSU in 2007.
