The Northwestern College Red Raiders proved to be a formidable opponent for the University of Jamestown football team, defeating the Jimmies 49-0 Monday night in Orange City, Iowa.
Tyson Kooima tossed three first-half touchdown passes to Shane Solberg, staking the Raiders (8-1) to a 21-0 halftime lead.
Kooima's fourth scoring pass came on the opening drive of the third quarter. On the next possession, the Raider special teams blocked a Jimmie punt and recovered it for a touchdown, then Logan Meyer added a one-yard touchdown run to make it 42-0 after three quarters.
Blake Fryar scored from three yards out for Northwestern's final touchdown.
UJ's two longest drives of the game were for 50 yards in the third quarter and 58 yards in the fourth quarter.
