UMC vs. MSU Moorhead: The Golden Eagles scored once in each of the first three quarters against the Dragons. After going down 14-0, offensive player of the game, Keith McBride (RB, 5-11, 195, So, Lodi, Wis.) rallied the team and capped off a four play, 15 yard drive with a one yard rushing touchdown. In the second quarter, it was McBride again who rushed for a three yard score with just 16 seconds remaining in the half to complete a 14 play, 78 yard drive. McBride again found the end zone after he took the hand-off from quarterback Josh Perea (QB, 6-0, 175, Fr, Pico Rivera, Calif.) and rushed for a career-long 75 yards for his third touchdown of the day to get the Golden Eagles within nine points at 27-18. Leading the way for Minnesota, Crookston was McBride who rushed 16 times for a game-high 143 yards, three touchdowns and averaged 8.9 yards/carry. Perea completed nine passes for 54 yards and the Golden Eagle offense was two of two in red-zone scoring chances.

He also made one of the two Marauders tackles for loss in the game.... Marice Burrough (CB, 6-0, 190, JR, Billings, MT) broke up three passes against the Huskies and blocked a punt that resulted in the second U-Mary touchdown of the day. He now leads NSIC players this season with eight passes defended... John Oyloe (DE, 6-5, 240, R-FR, Williston, ND) intercepted his first career pass and scored his first career touchdown.
