First quarter

South Dakota 3, North Dakota 0, 10:29 left first quarter: Mason Lorberg hits a 20-yard field goal after South Dakota's drive stalls despite first-and-goal from the 3. The Coyotes threw three passes from the 3 and all were incomplete, including a Jordan Canady hurry on third down. The drive was sparked by a 40-yard pass from Carson Camp to Carter Bell.

Second quarter

UND 7, South Dakota 3, 14:14 left: On third-and-3 from the 21, UND brings in backup quarterback Quincy Vaughn. Vaughn's first career touchdown pass goes 20 yards to Adam Zavalney, who catches his first career touchdown. Vaughn originally tucked the ball to signal a quarterback sweep but pulled back and found Zavalney wide open.
