Valley City, ND – The MSU-Northern Lights showed plenty of fight in their last road game of the year Saturday afternoon but came up short in a 35-21 loss to Valley City State University.
Northern trailed 14-0 before Malakhi Statler found the end zone on a 10-yard rushing touchdown just before halftime. After Valley City extended its lead in the third quarter, quarterback Griffin Terry connected with Juliun Benson on a 21-yard touchdown pass to bring the Lights within seven.
Valley City answered with back-to-back touchdowns to take control. Terry added a late four-yard touchdown pass to Jeramiah Benson to cap the scoring.
The Lights finished with 339 yards of total offense, including 179 rushing yards and 160 passing yards. Northern will close out its season next Saturday at home against Dakota State.
