HASTINGS, NE. (NewsDakota.com) – The University of Jamestown Jimmies came back from down 18 points with five minutes to go in the fourth to defeat Hastings 32-28 on homecoming.

Trailing 28-10 with five minutes to go, UJ blocked a punt to give Cade Torgerson and the Jimmie offense good field position. Two plays later, Torgerson connected with Micah Madyun from 18 yards out to draw the Jimmies within 11 with 4:46 to play.

Hastings recovered the Jamestown onside kick and ran two and a half minutes off the clock, but couldn’t pick up a first down and the Broncos were forced to punt the ball back to the Jimmies with 56 seconds to play.

On the first play of the drive, Torgerson hit Madyun on a slant route and Madyun did the rest, taking it 80 yards to the house and giving Jamestown a 32-28 lead with 40 seconds to go. Jamestown would hold on defense to knock off Hastings and pick up their second consecutive win.
