UND FOOTBALL

 

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (UND) – Despite a scoreless third quarter, there were plenty of fireworks in the fourth quarter with North Dakota (2-1) escaping Northern Arizona (1-2) with a 27-24 win on Saturday afternoon. The Lumberjacks found the end zone to take a 24-20 lead with 1:42 remaining and the Fighting Hawks went to work from their own 25. Tommy Schuster started with four consecutive pass completions to get UND down to the NAU 23. It was the next play that was the difference when Schuster found Jack Wright in the end zone for the go-ahead score. The play was a reverse flea flicker pass that looked to be a Tyler Hoosman rush that turned into a Bo Belquist end around and then found its way back to Schuster who found Wright in the end zone for the touchdown. Brady Stevens connected on the extra point to give the Hawks a 24-20 advantage late. Schuster was a perfect 5-for-5 passing on the final drive. NAU got the ball back with 53 seconds remaining and started at its own 25 yard-line. The Lumberjacks marched all the way down to the 50 with one play remaining with three seconds left. After facing pressure, R.J. Martinez found a receiver at the UND 39, but he immediately went down when attempting to pitch the ball to allow the Hawks to leave with the 27-24 victory.

 

Schuster was efficient once again, going 21-of-32 through the air for 206 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Belquist was his favorite target with six receptions for 56 yards, including a touchdown that put UND up 20-17 with just over five minutes left. Garett Maag hauled in five receptions for 47 yards. Hoosman had the second 100-yard rushing game of his career, gaining 102 yards on the ground on 12 carries for 8.5 yards per carry.

NDSU FOOTBALL

 

TUCSON, Ariz. – Arizona quarterback Jayden de Laura passed for 229 yards including the go-ahead touchdown with 4:53 left and the Wildcats held on to beat North Dakota State 31-28 on Saturday, Sept. 17, before a crowd of 41,211 at Arizona Stadium. North Dakota State fullback Hunter Luepke rushed 18 times for 115 yards and two touchdowns and added three receptions for 65 yards and one score. The Bison (2-1) rushed for 283 yards – their third most against an FBS opponent – and averaged 6.3 yards per carry.

 

Trailing 17-14 at halftime, NDSU’s running game took over in the second half. The Bison went 76 yards in six plays on their second possession of the third quarter with TaMerik Williams breaking a 34-yard run followed by Dominic Gonnella’s 19-yard carry to set up Luepke’s 6-yard score to give NDSU its first lead of the night. Arizona (2-1) appeared to go three-and-out on the ensuing possession, but a facemask penalty on the Bison extended the drive and the Wildcats scored six plays later on Jonah Coleman’s 2-yard run to go ahead 24-21. NDSU came back with a seven-play, 75-yard march with Luepke breaking out of a pile of tacklers for a 38-yard touchdown to put the Bison ahead 28-24 with 2:07 left in the third quarter. Arizona missed a 43-yard field goal attempt on its next drive, but the Bison couldn’t convert a fourth-and-2 at the Arizona 23. The Wildcats went 78 yards in 10 plays for the eventual winning score.

 

NDSU was 0-for-2 on fourth down and lost a fumble in the red zone, and Arizona answered all three of those possessions with touchdowns. The Bison outgained Arizona 407-394 in total yards and had a slight edge in time of possession 31:18 to 28:42. NDSU had six penalties for 60 yards compared to one for 15 yards against Arizona. NDSU quarterback Cam Miller went 10-for-12 passing for 124 yards with a 31-yard touchdown to Luepke in the first quarter. Tight end Noah Gindorff made three catches for 30 yards. Bison linebacker James Kaczor made a game-high nine tackles while linebacker Nick Kubitz and cornerbacks Courtney Eubanks and Destin Talbert made five tackles each. The loss snapped NDSU’s six-game winning streak against FBS opponents dating back to 2010. North Dakota State is 9-4 against FBS competition.

TWINS-GUARDIANS

 

CLEVELAND (AP) — Austin Hedges scored on an error by shortstop Jermaine Palacios in the 15th inning and the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians beat the Minnesota Twins for the eighth straight time, 7-6 to sweep a day-night doubleheader Saturday. Amed Rosario, who went 8 for 13 with six RBIs in the twinbill, hit a sharp grounder that Palacios mishandled with two outs. The ball skidded into the outfield, allowing Hedges to score from third and end the 5-hour, 24-minute marathon. Rosario had four hits in both games of the doubleheader, including a three-run homer in the nightcap. He drove in two runs in the opener, a 5-1 victory by the Guardians behind ace Shane Bieber. Cleveland (79-66), which has won nine of its last 10, opened a 4 1/2-game lead over the Chicago White Sox (75-71) and is seven games ahead of the third-place Twins (72-73). Minnesota has lost 11 of 16 in September.
