Northern Lights Look to Close Out Season With First Win Against Dakota State

Havre, MT – The Montana State University-Northern Lights are preparing for their final game of the 2026-27 football season as they welcome the Dakota State University Trojans to town tomorrow afternoon, looking to finish the year on a high note and earn their first victory of the season.

The Lights are coming off a 35-21 road loss to Valley City State last week but will look to build on some recent offensive improvements heading into their season finale.

Over their last three games, MSU Northern has averaged approximately 22 points per contest offensively. However, the Lights have struggled to slow down opposing offenses, allowing more than 40 points per game during that same stretch.

Northern enters tomorrow’s matchup with an 0-10 record, but the team will have one final opportunity to break into the win column and end the 2026-27 campaign with a hard-fought victory in front of its home fans.

The Lights will take on the Trojans tomorrow afternoon, with kickoff scheduled for 12 p.m. Fans can catch all the live play-by-play action of MSU Northern’s season finale on your home for MSU Northern Athletics, KPQX.
