For roughly ten minutes of the first quarter, the Tabor College football team dominated the Kansas Wesleyan University Coyotes Saturday at Salina. But the Bluejays lost a good measure of their momentum when a cold, bitter rain rolled in from the north and by the time the drizzle let up, KWU had scored the first of 21 straight points en route to a 35-19 victory in the Bluejays season opener.

Derek Washington recorded 70 rushing yards and Tabor's first touchdown, which came on the heels of a 37-yard completion from Marc Amos to Daniel Jost. The point after gave the Bluejays a 7-0 lead, which stood until Wesleyan punched in a 1-yard score with 2:02 left in the first quarter. The tying touchdown followed from a Tabor fumble at their own eight.
