In a thrilling NCAA Division III semifinal matchup, the University of Mount Union emerged victorious against Johns Hopkins University with a score of 42-10. Tyler Echeverry shone in the game, throwing for over 300 yards and four touchdowns. Mount Union displayed a dominating performance in defense, limiting Hopkins to only 258 total yards.
