NCAA Semifinal Round
NCAA Division II Championship Game | Children’s Mercy Park, Kansas City, Kan.
• Northeastern State scored on the third play from scrimmage last season and took an early 6-0 lead on the Bearcats on Oct. 14, 2016, in Maryville, Mo. Northwest would score the next 21 points before the RiverHawks got on the board again in the second quarter. Northwest’s defense held NSU to just 3-of-13 on third downs. Kyle Zimmerman threw for five touchdowns to four different receivers. Emanuel Jones found the endzone twice on the ground. • Last weekend, Central Oklahoma became the first team since Lindenwood back on Oct. 22, 2016, to score in the first quarter on the Bearcats. That’s a span of 12 games. That was also the last time an opponent converted at least 41 percent of its third-down opportunities against the Bearcats, going 7-of-17 (.412). After that game, Northwest has allowed just 41 third-down conversions on 193 attempts (.212). • Since 2005, Northwest has recorded 11 games with 30 or more first downs gained. No opponent has accomplished that feat since Pittsburg State had 32 first downs back on Oct. 29, 2005, in the Fall Classic at Arrowhead. • The Northwest defense has not allowed an individual runner to surpass 100 yards in the last 36 games. That came in the 2014 NCAA playoff game against Minnesota Duluth (Drew Bauer 131). In fact, the last MIAA runner to go over 100 yards on the Bearcats was Missouri Southern’s Chris Barnwell (104) back on Oct. 26, 2013, a span of 54 games. • Northwest has set a program record with 36 straight victories. The previous mark of 24 games was accomplished from Sept. 18, 1999 - Nov. 11, 2000. Grand Valley holds the NCAA Division II record for consecutive wins at 40 (8/27/05 12/1/07).

The Bearcats’ four playoff opponents averaged just 54.7 rushing yards, 170.5 passing yards, 225.5 total yards and 9.0 points per game.

The team finished atop the MIAA in 15 defensive categories as well, leading to six first-team All-MIAA selections.

NCAA Division II Championship Game | Children’s Mercy Park, Kansas City, Kan.
• Northeastern State scored on the third play from scrimmage last season and took an early 6-0 lead on the Bearcats on Oct. 14, 2016, in Maryville, Mo. Northwest would score the next 21 points before the RiverHawks got on the board again in the second quarter. Northwest’s defense held NSU to just 3-of-13 on third downs. Kyle Zimmerman threw for five touchdowns to four different receivers. Emanuel Jones found the endzone twice on the ground. • Last weekend, Central Oklahoma became the first team since Lindenwood back on Oct. 22, 2016, to score in the first quarter on the Bearcats. That’s a span of 12 games. That was also the last time an opponent converted at least 41 percent of its third-down opportunities against the Bearcats, going 7-of-17 (.412). After that game, Northwest has allowed just 41 third-down conversions on 193 attempts (.212). • Since 2005, Northwest has recorded 11 games with 30 or more first downs gained. No opponent has accomplished that feat since Pittsburg State had 32 first downs back on Oct. 29, 2005, in the Fall Classic at Arrowhead. • The Northwest defense has not allowed an individual runner to surpass 100 yards in the last 36 games. That came in the 2014 NCAA playoff game against Minnesota Duluth (Drew Bauer 131). In fact, the last MIAA runner to go over 100 yards on the Bearcats was Missouri Southern’s Chris Barnwell (104) back on Oct. 26, 2013, a span of 54 games. • Northwest has set a program record with 36 straight victories. The previous mark of 24 games was accomplished from Sept. 18, 1999 - Nov. 11, 2000. Grand Valley holds the NCAA Division II record for consecutive wins at 40 (8/27/05 12/1/07).

Four Bearcats earned first-team All-MIAA honors and four earned All-America honors. On five occasions, the Northwest defense held opponents under 200 yards of total offense and 12 times held rushing attacks under 100 yards. The Bearcats’ four playoff opponents averaged just 54.7 rushing yards, 170.5 passing yards, 225.5 total yards and 9.0 points per game. The Bearcats’ 2015 national championship featured one of the most well rounded defensive units in history. Northwest led the nation in six categories including total defense, scoring defense, team sacks, rushing defense, team passing efficiency defense and third-down conversion percentage defense. The team finished atop the MIAA in 15 defensive categories as well, leading to six first-team All-MIAA selections. Collin Bevins earned the third-consecutive MIAA Defensive Player of the Year award for the Bearcats, setting school records in sacks (15.5) and tackles for loss (26.5). One of the most dominant defenses at any level of football could be found under Wright in 2014. The Bearcats led the nation in total defense and were ranked second in rushing defense, team pass efficiency defense and third down conversion defense. Northwest ranked third in first down defense, fourth in passing yards allowed and fifth in scoring defense. Five Bearcat defensive players earned first team AllMIAA honors including Matt Longarcre who was named the MIAA Defensive Player of the Year in 2013 and 2014. In 2013, Wright’s defense was ranked ninth in the NCAA in total defense, allowing just 292.5 yards per game. The Bearcat defense led the MIAA defensively in pass yards allowed, sacks, pass efficiency defense, turnovers gained, third down percentage defense, blocked kicks, blocked punts and total defense. The 2012 Bearcat defense was nothing short of spectacular, ranking among the nation’s elite in scoring defense (second), turnover margin (third), pass efficiency defense (seventh), pass defense (12th) and total defense (17th).
