Editor's Note: Over the next 10 days, cumountainlions.com will be taking a look back at the top-10 most outstanding moments and achievements by Concord University teams and athletes during 2013.
One of the keys to the Concord University football team's 18-10 victory over nationally-ranked Lenoir-Rhyne was a defensive effort that forced the Bears into an unprecedented six turnovers. Leading the turnover barrage was senior linebacker
Jake Lilly, who forced a school-record four forced fumbles.
Lilly's four forced fumbles were the most in a single game by any player in NCAA Division II in 2013 and tied for the most in a game by any player competing at any of the NCAA's four levels (FBS, FCS, II, III). Deshon Kinsey of Mary Hardin-Baylor also forced four fumbles in a game.
For the game, Lilly also finished with a game-high 13 tackles and one tackle for loss.
A senior in 2013, Lilly started all 11 games en route to leading Concord in tackles for a third consecutive season after making 118 stops in addition to five forced fumbles, seven tackles for loss and one interception. Lilly made at least 10 tackles in eight games. He ranked fourth in the nation in forced fumbles and 21st in total tackles. Lilly's name can found throughout CU's career record book as he ends his Mountain Lion career ranked first in forced fumbles, second in tackles and sixth in tackles for loss.
For his efforts, Lilly earned BSN All-America, second team Daktronics All-Super Region I and first team All-Mountain East Conference honors.
