DULUTH, Minn. – The Cougars (4-4, 4-3 UMAC) offense could not hang with St. Scholastica (7-1, 7-0 UMAC), falling 32-7 to the Saints. The Cougars were only able to manage 91 yards of total offense on 61 plays. Three turnovers also hurt Morris. Willie Fust scored the lone touchdown recovering a CSS fumble and returning the ball 72 yards for a score.

Midway through the second quarter the Saints added to their lead with a 38 yard pass play. Before the first half ended, a one yard run gave the Saints a 19-0 lead.
 
Fust scooped and scored with 4:08 left in the third quarter giving the Cougars some life. Early in the fourth Morris found their offense and drove down to the Scholastica 19, looking to make it a one score game. However, on third and 15 Devan Griffin was sacked and fumbled. Ejnik was there again for the Saints and picking up the ball and returning it 79 yards for touchdown, putting the game out of reach.
