Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n YANKTON, S.D. (UJ)<\/a> — <\/strong>Chris Sayler<\/a> (JR\/Jamestown, N.D.)’s 38-yard touchdown run brought the University of Jamestown football team back from a 20-16 deficit, and the Jimmies closed out the season with a 23-20 win over Mount Marty University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Jimmies led 16-7 at halftime but two third-quarter touchdowns put Mount Marty back in the lead entering the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following a Lancer punt with 10:16 remaining, UJ took over at its own 38-yard line. On the first play, Cade Torgerson<\/a> (SR\/Billings, Mont.) completed an 11-yard pass to Micah Madyun<\/a> (JR\/Ramsey, Minn.), but Joshua Pickthor forced a fumble. Fortunately for Jamestown, Javon Bowie-Monteiro<\/a> (SR\/Sacramento, Calif.) recovered at the Lancers’ 40. After a two-yard gain by Sayler got the ball down to the 38-yard line, Sayler broke free and found the end zone, and Aanon Peterson<\/a> (FR\/Andover, Minn.)’s extra point made it 23-20 with 9:02 to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mount Marty’s following three drives ended in a punt, a turnover on downs, and an interception by Aaron Mack<\/a> (SR\/Jamestown, N.D.) near midfield that was returned to the Lancer 5-yard line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both teams scored on their opening drive of the game, with UJ taking the lead on an 18-yard pass from Torgerson to Steve Justice<\/a> (SR\/Henderson, Nev.). Peterson’s point-after attempt was blocked, and Mount Marty would take the lead on a Ken Gay to Rex Ryken 4-yard pass with 7:54 left in the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Torgerson threw his second touchdown of the half, a 19-yarder to Carlos Julian<\/a> (JR\/North Las Vegas, Nev.), to give UJ a 13-7 lead at the 11:34 mark of the second. The Jimmies added three more points on Peterson’s 26-yard field goal with 34 seconds in the half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamestown’s defense held the Lancers to 4 of 13 third-down conversions and 1 of 4 fourth-down conversions. Isaac Thompson<\/a> (SR\/Mesa, Ariz.) and Paul Vandal<\/a> (JR\/Jamestown, N.D.) led the way with six total tackles. Vandal added two more sacks to his total, giving him 12 for the year. Parker Chaffee<\/a> (SO\/Phelan, Calif.) also had an interception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
