SECOND SEMIFINAL – The homestanding COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY AT PUEBLO THUNDERWOLVES and the UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA WOLVES were both fighting to make it to their very first D2 title game as well.

In the 3rd Quarter the Purple Raiders added 14 more points before letting Wesley sneak 21 garbage time points on the board in the 4th. UMU moved on to the Championship Game with a 70-21 blowout win.  

SECOND SEMIFINAL – The defending champions – the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN AT WHITEWATER WARHAWKS – had a much tougher time getting past their final obstacle to another Stagg Bowl battle with Mt Union.
