(NewsDakota.com)- Six touchdowns were scored in the first quarter during Saturday’s NSAA conference matchup between the University of Jamestown and Presentation College. The Jimmie defense was able to make a few more stops and held on for a 49-41 win at Taylor Stadium. The win guarantees Jamestown a share of the first-ever NSAA title. 

Defense was optional. Beau Erikkson threw four touchdown passes and passed for 370 yards in the final game of the season. His counter part Stephan Braswell hit for 440 threw the air and a trio of touchdowns.

After the whirlwind first quarter the Jimmies held a 28-14 lead, thanks to a surprise onside kick and a fumbled kickoff. The Saints were able to move the ball at will on their drives getting big chunks of yards from Devin Mohn on the ground.

Late in the game with the Jimmies holding a 49-34 lead the Saints, Braswell threw his third touchdown on the game with close the gap with just 4:00 left. Presentation successfully completed an onside kick and had a chance to tie. But Steve David continued his standout freshman campaign and created a strip sack of Braswell to give the Jimmies the ball back.

Saints would get it one more time, but the Jimmies held on.

Jamestown finishes the year 3-7 with NSAA wins over Mayville, Valley City and Presentation.
