Northern Arizona beats Incarnate Word 38-28 as Kenveon Stone scores two rushing touchdowns and Quran Gossett adds 105 rushing yards. The teams play a relatively close first half, with Northern Arizona taking control before halftime and building on that lead after the break.
Incarnate Word’s only lead comes early. Jayden Hibbler scores a 4-yard run with 1:54 left in the first quarter to make it 7-3, but Northern Arizona responds with momentum late in the opening period. Near the end of the first quarter, Jahaad Fort intercepts Emmett Brown and returns the interception to the Cardinals’ 9-yard line, setting up Northern Arizona’s offensive response.
Across the available reports, the central themes are Northern Arizona’s balanced rushing production and the timing of key scoring and turnovers. Both outlets credit Stone’s two-touchdown rushing performance and Gossett’s rushing yardage for Northern Arizona’s lead development and final margin.
