COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. (AP) Freshman Bryar Topo scored the last of St. John's 14 touchdowns with 10:06 remaining and the Johnnies beat St. Scholastica 98-0 on Saturday in a Division III season opener.

It's the most points scored against a fellow D-III team, breaking the 97 points in the 1977 game between Concordia-Moorhead and Macalester. The most points in division history against any opponent is 105, set by Rockford in 2003 against Trinity Bible.

The Johnnies set the school record for points in a game on Kenneth Udoibok's 9-yard run in the third for an 84-0 lead. The Minnesota school previously scored 77 against Bethel on Oct. 16, 1993.
