Briar Cliff responded with a 24-yard field goal with 6:36 left to play in the half.

Torgerson tossed a 13-yard TD pass to Micah Madyun to make it 14-3 Jimmies. UJ's three-play, 40-yard drive took all of 22 seconds.

Briar Cliff's one touchdown came with 5:51 left in the third when Cayden Mitchell ran in from one yard out. The Jimmies sealed the deal just under three minutes later when Myles put the ball through the uprights from 32 yards out.
