After the Eagles punted on their following drive, Northern Colorado held the ball for the next 14 plays and drove 91 yards in 7 minutes. Costelli ended the drive running it in from 19 yards out.
DJ Ralph threw for 228 yards on 20-for-33 passing for Chadron State.
Wilson Yee kicked a 29-yard field goal to prevent the shutout after missing earlier from 43 and 40 yards.
