A true freshman from Ekalaka, MT, Pat Hansen made quite the impression his first year with the Orediggers. Hansen concluded his first year with his best performance this past weekend against the UM-Western Bulldogs. Tech defeated Western 34-15. Carrying the ball 40 times for 260 yards, 7 receptions for 50 yards and 21 yards on a kick return were an exclamation point to an already great season. Hansen finished third in the NAIA in total rushing yards. He finished the season with 1,383 yards rushing, 12 rushing touchdowns, 31 receptions for 150 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns.
