A huge 3rd Quarter for Stevens Point gave them a 31-24 advantage and the two teams simply exchanged Field Goals in the 4th for a final score of Pointers 34  Cardinals 27. QB Kyle Larson was on fire with his WR’s Matt Sosinsky and Logan Taylor, with his 302 passing yards and their combined 253 receiving yards accounting for most of the Stevens Point offense.

NUMBER ONE TAKES A FALL – The MARIAN UNIVERSITY KNIGHTS went from being the NAIA’s National Champions a couple years back to once again being an afterthought.
