Eastern Oregon (2-4, 2-4 FC) dropped a close one to the Orediggers of Montana Tech, 13-10. The Mountaineer defense had a stellar effort after giving up 48 points to #1 ranked powerhouse Carroll College, holding Montana Tech to just thirteen points.

However, the offense was stifled by a tough Oredigger defense that was looking to redeem themselves after an opening season loss to the Mounties in which they fell behind 21-0 in the first quarter.

The game is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. PST and could have very big implications in the Frontier Conference playoff picture. The Northern Lights are currently 5-1 in conference, while the Mounties are in a three-way tie for third place at 2-4 in conference.
