Bob Hansen's two sacks marked his first since he terrorized opposing quarterbacks to the tune of a 10-1/2-sack season in 2010.  His four TFLs set a new single-game mark for the program.  Hansen has now collected 24-1/2 tackles for losses over his career.  NDC's veteran defensive end also had one of six NDC pass deflections in the contest.

Linebacker Anthony Berry posted career highs for tackles (10) and TFLs (three).

Cornerback Spencer Krebs had three pass break-ups in the game, which ties an NDC single-game mark.  One of those deflections broke up a potential TD pass at the goal line. … Krebs made 13 tackles in the game and now has 35 stops over NDC's last three games.

Linebacker Haakim Oliver made a career-high eight tackles, including his first career sack.

Strong safety Bo Grunder came up with NDC's only takeaway in the game, with a key interception late in the second quarter.  The play marked Grunder's third career pick; he made seven tackles in the game.
