Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. The Homecoming parade and other festivities begin at 10:30 a.m. on the University of Minnesota, Crookston campus.
UMC vs. MSU Mankato: The Golden Eagle offense was led against the Mavericks by David Anderson (RB, 6-0, 180, Jr, Winnipeg, Manitoba) who broke free for a career-high 78 yard run that led to the UMC field goal. He rushed a total of 10 times for 92 yards in the game, good for a 9.2 yards/carry average. Josh Perea (QB, 6-0, 175, Fr, Pico Rivera, Calif.) completed eight passes for 49 yards and hooked up with Antonio Williams (WR, 6-2, 220, Sr, West Palm Beach, Fla.) four times for 31 of those yards. Leading the defensive core for the Golden Eagles was Cody Hendrickson (DB, 5-10, 185, Jr, Wright, Minn.) who had four tackles (3 solo, 1 assisted). He added one pass break-up and pulled in two big interceptions including one in the Golden Eagle end zone to stop a Maverick drive. Cecil Brown (DB, 5-10, 205, So, Edison, Ga.) also had a big day at the defensive back position. He finished the game with a team-high eight tackles (5 solo, 3 assisted).
MSU Moorhead vs. Upper Iowa: Tyrone Small (WR, Sr., 6-4, 195, Bellflower, Calif.) scored on an 82-yard touchdown on a 2-play, 82-yard drive. Small ended the day with three catches for 99 yards, a season high for a Dragon receiver. Joey Dawson (LB, Sr., 6-0, 205, Fargo, N.D.) led the team as he had 9.5 tackles (six solo), with 1.5 for a loss of six yards. The Dragons defense had 80.5 total tackles in the game, over double of what the Peacocks had with 40.0. Patrick Haynes (P/K, 6-0, Jr., Parteeville, Wis.) had big numbers for the Dragons as he punted 10 times, one short of the MSUM game record of 11, for 364 total yards, with three landing within the visitor's 20-yard line. The Dragons (1-2, 1-1 NSIC) snuck by the Upper Iowa Peacocks (0-3, 0-2 NSIC) on big defensive plays late in the second half to pick up the team's first win of the season, 28-24. There were six lead changes in the defensive battle as the Dragons defense had two stops in the red-zone and a blocked punt that was recovered in the end zone that carried the momentum in the home team's favor in the final quarter. The Dragons had 263 yards of total offense, 194 coming off passing. In the Dragons second to last possession of the game, the team took the ball from their own 40- yard line to the one-yard line as they capitalized on a penalty by UIU, holding that took an intercepted pass that would have scored back into the hands of the Dragons offense for a first down. After a pass interference call on a third-and-goal, the Dragons' quarterback Kevin Koch ran the ball in from the one-yard line. Wes Kramer would tally the extra point to put the score where it would remain for the game. Kramer ended the game with four extra-point kicks.
