Trio of Hillsdale Chargers named to Daktronics Super Region 3 Football Squads

Senior offensive tackle Jared Veldheer and senior defensive end Drew Berube have both been named to the Daktronics Super Region 3 first team offensive and first team defensive football teams respectively. Senior place kicker Mark Petro earned second team offense honors.

Veldheer started all 46 games of his career and never allowed a sack from his left tackle position. He was named first team All-GLIAC this season.

Berube was also named first team All-GLIAC after leading the league in sacks and tackles for loss.

Petro now holds the record for career field goals at Hillsdale with 49 and will be best known for his game-winning 34 yard field goal in overtime against Minnesota State. The win was Hillsdale's first playoff win since joining the Division II ranks in 1990. Petro as well, was an All-GLIAC selection.
