Mount Union beats St. Thomas for record 12th Division III title

SALEM, Va. -- Mount Union is back on top of Division III football, and coach Vince Kehres finally has one of his own.

Taurice Scott threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score and Mount Union won its NCAA-best 12th football title, beating St. Thomas of Minnesota 49-35 on Friday night in the Division III championship game.

It was the Purple Raiders' 11th consecutive appearance in the game, but the first time in the last three years with Kehres as the coach that they came out on top.
