Andrew Price made a crucial interception, blocking a punt for a touchdown. The Panthers maintained control throughout the game, forcing five turnovers and holding the second-ranked North Dakota team for the final 2:37 against a team that had struggled with three fumbles and two interceptions. North Dakota, ranked fourth in the Stats Perform poll, never reached midfield and the Panthers ran out the clock. Northern Iowa secured the win with 144 total yards and 11 first downs, while North Dakota finished with 367 yards of total offense but did not cross midfield on their final three possessions. North Dakota will face South Dakota State in their next game, while Northern Iowa will travel to Youngstown State.",
