  "account": "The 132nd annual Monon Bell Classic, a fierce Division III rivalry between DePauw and Wabash, concluded on Saturday, Nov. 14 at Ball State University's Scheumann Stadium. After a five-year streak of DePauw victories, the Tigers claimed another triumph with a final score of 16-10 over Wabash. The game concluded with a crucial interception by Joey Fico, preventing a potential Wabash touchdown. The match-up took place at a neutral site in Muncie due to the demolition of DePauw's Blackstock Stadium and the construction of a new facility slated for completion in 2028. This marked the first time since 1922 that the teams faced off at a neutral location, previously played at Irwin Field in Indianapolis. The game showcased a defensive battle throughout, with DePauw's Chris Green recovering a Wabash fumble and later ejection of Wabash linebacker Carson Foxen for a late hit. DePauw's Jackson Gilbert connected with Luke Adams for a 39-yard touchdown, but responded with a quick 75-yard drive to score again. Freshman Luke Dockery's back-to-back plays, recovering a botched snap and then throwing a 52-yard touchdown, solidified DePauw's lead at 9-7 after the first half. The second half remained scoreless until Wabash's Johnson connected with Evan Pitzer for a touchdown, extending their lead to 14-16. DePauw's defensive stop of Johnson's touchdown pass turned the game around, ultimately securing DePauw's fifth consecutive win in this storied rivalry.",
