Central Oklahoma claimed a share of the Lone Star Conference North Division title Saturday by defeating Northeastern 17-16 at Wantland Stadium.

However, despite finishing the season at 9-2, the Bronchos will not make their second consecutive NCAA Division II playoff appearance. Out of the four teams selected from the West region the Bronchos finished with a sixth place ranking.

After a 32-yard field goal gave NSU a 13-3 lead in the third quarter, Reggie Donner scored two touchdowns giving the Bronchos the lead for good.

Donner's first score, a one-yard touchdown run on fourth and goal, capped a drive that saw the Bronchos convert twice on fourth down cutting the lead to 13-10.

The Bronchos took the lead for good with 8:55 left in the third quarter when Donner scored his second touchdown of the game on a nine-yard run giving UCO a 17-13 lead.

Northeastern cut the lead to one when Evan Luttrell made a 50-yard field goal, his third of the game, with 5:13 left in the fourth quarter. However, the Bronchos were able to run out the remaining five minutes to preserve the victory.

Donner rushed for 85 yards on 21 carries while junior Ryan Logan had 38 yards rushing giving him 1,002 on the season.

Central Oklahoma trailed early after NSU scored on a 40- yard field goal and a Damian Everette 2-yard touchdown run in the first quarter gave the Redman a 10-0 lead.

With the win the Bronchos improved their record to 9-2 overall, 6-2, in the LSC, and 5-1 in the north division.

Southwestern earned a share of the north division title by defeating Harding 42-33. Both the Bronchos and Southwestern finished the season with 5-1 division records.
