Durdon’s go-ahead score came one play after Jamestown botched a snap on a fourth down punt. The snap to Isaak Myles<\/a> (FR\/Las Vegas, Nev.) from the UJ 42 went awry, causing the Jimmie punter to fall on the ball at the UJ 14 for a 28-yard loss.<\/p>\n UJ scored the game’s first touchdown with 2:33 left in the first quarter. Jordan Mann<\/a> (JR\/Bismarck, N.D.) found James Hagen<\/a> (SO\/Henderson, Nev.) from eight yards out and following Kai Madela<\/a> (FR\/Henderson, Nev.)’s extra point, Jamestown led 7-0.<\/p>\n Concordia got on the board with 25 seconds remaining in the quarter. A bad snap to Myles on fourth down resulted in a safety, cutting the Jimmie lead to 7-2.<\/p>\n Durdon gave the Bulldogs a 9-7 lead with his first touchdown of the day, a two-yard run with 12:25 left in the first half.<\/p>\n Madela connected on a 33-yard field goal to put UJ back in front, 10-9, with 6:20 before halftime.<\/p>\n Another Madela field goal, this time from 32 yards out, extended the lead to 13-9 with 4:27 to play in the third.<\/p>\n Jordan Mann<\/a> completed 21-of-33 passes for 196 yards in the losing effort.
