After a crucial 25-13 victory Saturday over Northwood, the Huskies did everything they could to get into the NCAA Division II playoffs.

Unfortunately for the Huskies, Ashland, who beat the Huskies 48-41 earlier this season, earned their way to the playoffs with a 45-38 victory over Findlay. Tech did not know what their fate would be until 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon, as ESPNEWS announced the 2008 playoff field.

The Huskies more than rose to the occasion, running away from the Wildcats in the second half to complete a 47-21 victory in this grudge match between two long-time Upper Peninsula rivals.
Even with an impressive victory in week one, the Huskies’ football team had plenty to prove as they took on Hillsdale, the team that beat them 37-0 last year. Tech still gave up 36 points but put up 39 points of their own to eek out a victory in front of 2,543 fans at Sherman Field.
