Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1983632, member: 289"] NCAA Division II SWEET SIXTEEN It looked good early for Indiana (Pa.) against Pennsylvania Conference rival CALIFORNIA (Pa.). In a game that must have looked a lot like Syracuse’s game against South Florida. The Indians bolted out to a 17-0 lead seven seconds into the second quarter only to have the Vulcans, (yes, the Vulcans – they were named that long before Star Trek – this is coal mining country), out-score them 44-6 the rest of the way for a 44-23 final. Quarterback Michael Kier threw for four touchdowns to give him a total of 39 on the season.

But the Lions roared and scored the remaining 31 points of the game to win 41-17. “The Lions totaled more than 260 yards of total offense and forced three turnovers in the second half to fuel the lopsided final.” [URL='http://uncpbraves.com/news/2016/11/26/no-12-football-falls-at-no-3-north-alabama-in-ncaa-playoffs.aspx']No. 12 Football Falls At No. 3 North Alabama In NCAA Playoffs[/URL] NORTH GREENVLLE built up a 35-7 halftime lead and then held off a Tuskegee comeback to win 45-26.

The Hornets were coming off an impressive 33-point, first-round victory. The Bearcats are a different animal. Northwest quickly showed Emporia State it was in playoff mode, scoring 17 points in the first quarter. That start carried the Bearcats to an easy 44-13 victory.” [URL='http://bearcatsports.com/news/2016/11/26/football-fb-boyce-esu-playoff.aspx?path=football']Bearcats roll to playoff victory over Hornets[/URL] HARDING rallied from a 14-24 deficit with ten minutes left in the game to beat Sioux Falls 27-24 in overtime.

(2002-03 but the Bearcats reversed that result in 2009. Harding doesn’t look like a push-over, either. [/QUOTE]
