The Northwood University football team closed out the home portion of their schedule with a 42-10 loss to Ferris State Saturday afternoon (November 9).
Ferris State improves to 7-3 overall, 7-2 in the GLIAC. Northwood falls to 2-8 overall, 1-7 in the GLIAC.
The Bulldogs got off to a good start, scoring the only two touchdowns of the first quarter to earn a 14-0 lead after one. FSU then extended their lead to 21-0 when the Timberwolves got on the board. Senior Eric Williams (Romulus, Mich./Inkster) caught a three-yard pass from Mitch Robinson (Rochester Hills, Mich./Avondale) to cap an impressive 93-yard drive and make the score 21-7.
That touchdown would be the last one of the day for Northwood, however. The Bulldogs found the end zone one more time before halftime to lead 28-7 at the break. FSU then out-scored the Timberwolves 14-3 after halftime. NU's only points came on a 22-yard Keegan Hagarty (Macomb, Mich./Albion College).
