It’s been a few years since UMHB took on Mount Union in the NCAA DIII Championship Tournament.
I was there for the first and only meeting, December 2004.
It was a nail biter all the way to the end.
But who can forget this?

With 48-seconds remaining in the game, Josh Welch connected with Walter Sharp in the endzone on a 24 yard pass, putting the Crusaders into the lead and ultimately a 38-35 win.
With the win, the Crusaders went on to lose the next week against Linfield in their first DIII Championship game the following week.
As it stands, UMHB leads against Wesley in the 4th quarter, 25-20. The winner of the game will go on to play Mount Union next week in the semi-finals.
UPDATE: UMHB takes the win – 32-20.
