STrib: Minnesota State Mankato romps into Division II title game

[BleedGopher]

per STrib:

Nate Gunn rushed for three touchdowns and Shane Zylstra caught two touchdown passes to lead Minnesota State Mankato to a 58-15 victory over Slippery Rock on Saturday in the semifinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs.

The Mavericks (14-0) will play either West Florida or Ferris State for the Division II championship next Saturday in McKinney, Texas. It will be the Mavericks’ second appearance in the championship game. The Mavericks lost to Colorado State-Pueblo in the 2014 championship game. The loss was the first of the season for Slippery Rock (13-1).

Gunn rushed for two touchdowns in the first quarter as the Mavericks built a 16-8 lead. With two minutes remaining in the first half, the Mavericks were leading 23-8 when the Mavericks’ Tyler Johnson recovered a fumble at the Slippery Rock 20-yard line. On first down, the Mavericks’ Justin Arnold went 20 yards to extend the Mavericks’ lead to 29-8.

The Zylstra kid is a stud. He really stood out as a cut above the competiton in that game.
