ST. PAUL, MINN. – The University of St. Thomas football won its second straight Pioneer Football League (PFL) game on Saturday, downing Valparaiso 55-17 at O'Shaughnessy Stadium. Key to the Tommies' success was senior quarterback Amari Powell (Valencia, Calif. / Chaminade College Prep), who was named the PFL Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Beacons.

POWELL POWER

Powell threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's victory, both career highs for the senior.
He also rushed for a touchdown in the second quarter, personally accounting for four of the seven touchdowns scored Saturday afternoon.
His 265-yard performance ranks second all-time in the DI era in single game passing behind Cade Sexauer's 286-yard performance vs. San Diego in 2022.
Powell joins Andy Peters and Sexauer as the only three quarterbacks to throw for over 250 yards in a game in St. Thomas' DI era.
Powell additionally is the second quarterback to throw for over 250 yards this season.
The Tommie quarterback room threw for over 300 yards in back-to-back, a first for the program in its Division I era.
