This week's installment of "RFC Throwback Thursday" turns the clock back to a cold, snowy  December day in 1989. That was when the Westminster College Titans from New Wilmington, Pa. faced the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Eagles for the NAIA Division II National Championship at historic Fawcett Stadium in Canton, Ohio. The Titans defeated the Eagles 51-30 to not only win their second-straight national championship but also finish the 1989 season unbeaten at 13-0 overall. Both programs have since moved up to the NCAA Division III ranks, with Wisconsin-La Crosse winning two national championships at that level in 1992 and 1995.
