The Huskies are 3-5 overall and 2-2 in the NSIC North. Northern State improved to 5-3 overall and 3-1 in the North division.
St. Cloud State, after forcing Northern State to punt on the game's opening drive, struck quickly, as Huskies quarterback Nate Meyer found Matt Hentges over the middle for a 58-yard touchdown play. Northern State responded on the next drive with a 50-yard scoring play on a pass from Jared Jacobson to Connor Doherty.
The Huskies led 14-7 after the first quarter on a 17-yard run by Meyer. Northern State then outscored the Huskies 38-9 in the final three quarters, shutting the Huskies out in the fourth. The Huskies drew to within four, 21-17, on a 46-yard Eric Mielke field goal in the second quarter but that's the closest SCSU would get.
