Hertel led DePauw with 11 tackles, including three for losses of 18 yards and one 14-yard sack, in Sunday's 26-15 hard-fought loss to Trinity.

The game took nearly 19 hours to complete after the two teams played 9:20 of the first quarter on Saturday night before a lightning delay of over three hours forced the postponement of the game until Sunday.

Hertel also recovered two fumbles and returned an interception 15 yards for a touchdown that gave the Tigers an early 9-0 lead.
