Quarterback Michael Veldman completed 26 of 42 passes for 392 yards and four touchdowns, and Gustavus (2-0 MIAC, 3-1 overall) held high-flying Hamline quarterback Justice Spriggs to just 94 yards in the air to rout the Pipers 51-7 Saturday at St. Peter, Minn.

Spriggs hit Nick Barber with a 14-yard scoring pass early in the second quarter that cut a Gustavus lead to 10-7, then Veldman went to work. He passed 81 yards to Brayton Finch for a touchdown a minute after Hamline (0-1, 1-2) scored, threw 11 yards for a TD to Hunter Johnson at 7:35, then capped it with a 21-yarder to Josh Kirk as time ran out at the half.

Johnson caught his second scoring pass of the day from Veldman, a 16-yard play with 2:06 to go in the third. Kirk also scored twice, beginning with a 37-yard run to the end zone at 10:31 of the first quarter.

Spriggs, who led the MIAC a year ago with an average of 271 passing yards a game, completed 7 of 17 passes for 94 yards. He came into the game with an average of 233.5 passing yards in Hamiline’s first two games.

Augsburg 48, Carleton 28

Carleton (0-2, 0-4) put up stiff resistance for a quarter and a half, but the passing of Augsburg’s Quinn Frisell was too much for the Knights to contain at Northfield, Minn.

Frisell, the current MIAC passing leader, hit 29 of 38 passes for 449 yards and four touchdowns as Augsburg (1-1, 3-1) tuned up for a home game next Saturday against St. Thomas. Frisell has completed 61.8 percent of his passes through four games for 1,469 yards and 16 touchdowns. He has averaged 367.3 yards a game.

His favorite targets, Nick Heenie and Ray Guyton Jr., were productive again Saturday. Heenie, the MIAC’s top receiver averaging 130.3 yards a game, caught 10 passes for 178 yards and three touchdowns against Carleton. Guyton, third in the MIAC at 100.5 yards a game, hauled in 11 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown.

Carleton’s Christian Zaytoun answered Frisell’s first TD pass to Guyton with a 46-yard strike to Dylan Rye at 7:16 of the first quarter. Frisell found Heenie for a 73-yard scoring play at 3:24 of the first, but Zaytoun then led the Knights on an 11-play drive for 61 yards, capped by Tyler O’Keefe’s 1-yard run with 9:45 to play in the second. That tied it at 14-14.

But Augsburg’s Undre Smith-Brewer returned the Carleton kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown. Frisell found Heenie for another score at the 5-minute mark, and Augsburg was back in control at 28-14.

Bethel 64, St. Olaf 7

Bethel (1-1, 1-3) broke into the win column behind the passing of Jake Marsh, who completed 14 of 16 throws for 323 yards and four touchdowns at Arden Hills.

Bryce Marquardt caught four Marsh passes for 132 yards, including a 96-yard touchdown play with 3:29 to go in the first quarter. Joel Koenecke added five catches for 108 yards with a 63-yard scoring play early in the third quarter. Drew Larsen caught two touchdown passes for the Royals.

Bethel outgained St. Olaf (0-2, 1-3) 618 to 100 in total offense.
