Division II playoffs: ACU bows again to Northwest Missouri St.
Turnovers were the key to Abilene Christian’s season opening win against Northwest Missouri State. On Saturday against No. 2 Northwest Missouri in the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs, Abilene Christian’s fortunes were reversed in a big way as the Wildcats lost 35-10 to the Bearcats.
For the second year in a row, ACU’s season ended with a loss to Northwest Missouri. Last year, the Bearcats downed the unbeaten Wildcats 45-36 on their way to a fourth straight national championship game appearance.
“We’re pretty disappointed with the way we performed,” Abilene Christian coach Chris Thomsen said. “But also give a lot of credit to Northwest. They did a tremendous job in all three phases of the game.”
Central's defense dominates
Top-ranked Central Washington stymied No. 12 Tarleton State in cruising to a 27-6 victory Saturday in the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs in Ellensburg. The Texans, who entered the game averaging more than 400 yards per game offensively, were unable to establish anything on the ground, being held to minus-14 yards rushing. It was the fourth time this season CWU held an opponent to negative rushing yards.
“This defense never surprises me,” Central Washington coach Blaine Bennett said. “...They’ve done an amazing job all year. Even when we gave up that interception, to hold the opponent to only a field goal in a critical time in the first quarter was a huge stop.”
The Texans were coming off a 57-56 double-overtime victory against Texas A&M-Kingsville where the Texans had put up 530 yards of offense. The Wildcats held them to 178 yards.
“This is the toughest time we’ve had running the football all year,” Tarleton State coach Sam McElroy said.

Buffs lose 2nd straight in tourney
Missouri-St. Louis guard Beaumont Beasley scored 23 points and the Tritons shot 51 percent from the field in handing West Texas A&M its second straight loss, 81-64, on Saturday at the Southwestern Oklahoma State Classic in Weatherford, Okla.
''We are simply a very immature team at this point,'' said WT head coach Rick Cooper. ''We will make a run to cut into a lead, then we'll proceed to take either an ill-advised shot or commit a turnover that leads to a fast break at the other end. 'I knew this team would have some teething problems early in the season. You know that, but at the same time you hope that you don't actually see it play out. It's a matter of working and working to correct what we aren't doing properly.''
