UNA led 14-3 early but had to rally from a 24-14 fourth quarter deficit. The game turned when Israel Raybon blocked an IUP punt and ignited a 27-point fourth quarter scoring binge.

A crowd of more than 15,000 swarmed the field after the game as North Alabama became the first school to win the DII football title on its home field.
