No. 7 Montana Tech (1-1) was handed their first loss of the season.

No. 12 Carroll College (3-0, Frontier 2-0) keeps their home winning streak against the Orediggers alive making it 13-0 since 2001.

A punt return by Jared Mayernik in the first half and a strong rushing attack kept Tech out of the game. Dustin Rinker finished with 177 yards and two touchdowns and Dakota Stonehouse had 68 yards on the ground.  

Carroll dominated the time of possession 46:21 to just 28:39 for the Orediggers.

Montana Tech opens their home schedule and first game on the new artificial turf next week against UM-Western.
