Geter (Irmo, S.C. / Dutch Fork HS) was part of a quintet that includes quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo (Eastern Illinois) and Jordan Johnson (Montana), safety Josh Kimberlin (Samford) and kicker Michael Marando (Fordham).

Geter was a catalyst in Gardner-Webb's strong defensive showing against the Spiders, which helped the 'Dogs to a 12-10 win in Spangler Stadium. The 6-foot-2, 233-pound sophomore totaled a career-best 10 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and a sack to help Gardner-Webb limit Richmond to just 10 net rushing yards on 20 attempts. The defensive effort also held Richmond to just 4-of-13 on third down (30.7 percent) and 0-for-2 on fourth down.

Geter saved his best for late in the game, recording eight of his hits in the second half and five in the fourth quarter. His sack of Michael Strauss midway through the fourth quarter was a pivotal moment in the game. Gardner-Webb was clinging to a 9-3 lead with 8:32 to play, when Geter crashed through to sack Strauss on a 4th-and-4 play from the Gardner-Webb 19-yard line - giving GWU the ball back at its own 30 after the lost yardage.

The 10 yards allowed rushing on Saturday marked the lowest total against a scholarship Division I foe since Gardner-Webb moved to the FCS in 2000. The previous low totals came against Charleston Southern in 2004 (14 yards) and Florida Atlantic (18 yards) in 2001.

The clutch performance was the second of the season for Geter, who totaled eight hits and picked off the game-clinching pass in the season opener against Furman. The former All-State linebacker at Dutch Fork (S.C.) High is in his first season as a starter for the Runnin' Bulldogs.

Gardner-Webb (2-1, 0-0 Big South) will face its stiffest test of the season on Saturday, traveling to play No. 8 / 10 Wofford (2-1, 2-0 SoCon) at 7:00 pm in Spartanburg, S.C. The game will air live on WGWG-FM (88.3 / wgwg.org), with Fabian Fuentes and Ben Fuller calling the action from Gibbs Stadium.
