INSIDE THE GAME
- The Wildcats were able to find the endzone on their opening drive. Northern Michigan was able to travel 54 yards on ten plays, eventually scoring on Tyshon King's one-yard rush. This gave the Wildcats a 7-0 advantage with 9:19 remaining in the opening quarter.
- The Timberwolves responded at the very end of the first quarter. Jalen Lewis found the endzone with no time left on the clock on a nine-yard run to finish Northwood's seven-play, sixty-nine-yard drive to tie the game 7-7 after one quarter.
- With 10:44 remaining in the second quarter, the Wildcats' Daniel Riser completed a 46-yard field goal attempt to take a 10-7 advantage in the contest.
- Northwood was able to regain the lead with 2:12 left in the half. A 14-play, 80-yard drive was capped with a 10-yard run by Cashual Goldsmith as the Timberwolves took a 14-10 lead.
- The Timberwolves extended their lead with 3:42 remaining in the third. Gomez was 4-4 for 57-yards on the drive, ending it with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Christian Martinez to give the Timberwolves a 21-10 lead in the contest.
- More strong offense by the Timberwolves gave them a 28-10 advantage over the Wildcats with 6:12 left in the game. Goldsmith's 5-yard touchdown, his second of the day, capped the Northwood drive.
- That score proved to the last of the game, giving the Timberwolves the win.
