With the win, the Cougars clinched their first winning season since 2012.

Playing in his final collegiate game, quarterback Donnie Mavencamp used his feet to score the Cougars' first two touchdowns.

Minnesota Morris scored ten points in the final two minutes of the first half to take a 17-point lead into the break. Mavencamp used his arm to get the Cougars in the end zone again. His 10-yard connection to Taylor Holleman extended the lead to 21-7 and John Hoff's 27-yard field goal at the gun made the score 24-7 at halftime.

The Cougars extended their lead to 31 after three quarters scoring two more touchdowns on the ground. Senior JC Cummings' 5-yard touchdown rush completed a 9-play, 76-yard drive with 3:21 left in the third. Less than three minutes later, fellow senior Evan Guffey's 1-yard touchdown rush ended a 5-play, 52-yard drive to gave Minnesota Morris a 38-7 lead with 32 seconds left in the quarter.
