September 26, 1998
Winona State jumped on a surprisingly flat Northern State team early and never let the Wolves back into the game in a 42-17 victory Saturday at Swisher Field.
The 20th-ranked Warriors marched down the field and scored on five of their eight possessions in the first half, putting the Wolves in a 32-3 hole at halftime. Northern's defense forced and recovered a fumble at the WSU 28 on the Warrior's second drive, but the Wolves couldn't capitalize.
In the second half, NSU's offense showed signs of life, but senior wideout Steve Cowherd's (Denver, Colo.) two touchdown receptions from junior quarterback Tom Ramerth (Minneapolis, Minn.) were too little, too late.
