The Division III football landscape got rocked Saturday afternoon, as one of the big three got taken down and another battle of unbeatens went in the unexpected direction.

Dustin Retherfo intercepted Kyle Noack with less than two minutes left in a tie game and Brannon Walls turned it into a 31-yard field goal with four seconds left as the Mississippi College Choctaws defeated No. 3 Mary Hardin-Baylor 17-14. And No. 10 Wabash, playing without starting quarterback Matt Hudson, fell on a 31-yard field goal on the last play of the game as Wittenberg remained unbeaten with a 10-7 win. Follow along with Saturday's scores.

After a scoreless first three quarters, helped in large part by four interceptions by Wabash's Addrian Frederick, the Tigers got on the board with an Aaron Huffman touchdown pass to Michael Cooper. The Little Giants answered when Josh Miracle connected with Kody Lemond, but Wittenberg's Brandyn Brown returned the ensuing kickoff 53 yards to set up the game winning score.

St. John's and St. Thomas treated 12,903 fans to a great finish as the No. 6 Johnnies defeated the No. 15 Tommies 20-17 in overtime. St. Thomas rallied from a 14-0 deficit in the fourth quarter, taking advantage of a pair of St. John's miscues to tie the game with 2.2 seconds left in regulation. The Johnnies defense held the Tommies to a field goal in overtime and answered four plays later, as Kellen Blaser dove for the pylon (photo) to end an 8-yard touchdown run and seal the victory.

Second-ranked UW-Whitewater had little trouble with UW-Stout, winning 38-3 as Jeff Schebler broke the Division III record for career kicking points, passing former Mount Union kicker Mike Zimmerman. For the Purple Raiders, Kurt Rocco completed 24 of 34 passes for 406 yards, with Cecil Shorts pulling down 13 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns in a 44-14 win at Heidelberg. It was the fourth-best passing day in Mount Union history.

No. 11 Monmouth dropped another Midwest Conference unbeaten, beating Ripon 35-13 and cementing its spot atop the league. No. 24 UW-La Crosse had a more entertaining battle with UW-River Falls as the Eagles nipped the Falcons 49-47 in triple overtime. No. 14 North Central bested Carthage in an offensive explosion, 63-48. The teams combined for 1,152 total yards and 63 first downs. At the other end of the spectrum, Illinois Wesleyan defeated Augustana 7-0.

Michael Zweifel pulled in an IIAC-record 20 receptions for 330 yards to lift Dubuque past Simpson 36-33. Ursinus pulled Johns Hopkins back to the pack in the Centennial Conference with a 16-14 win over the Blue Jays. Johns Hopkins kicked an apparent game winning field goal but the Bears called timeout just in time. The Blue Jays' second try was no good. No. 23 Delaware Valley dominated Wilkes 23-0 to improve to 5-1, 3-0 in conference. Albright stayed undefeated with a win at King's, 36-14.

No. 16 Capital held off John Carroll 28-20 to remain on track for a possible at-large bid to the playoffs. No. 13 Otterbein held off Wilmington 28-20 to remain in the chase as well. No. 17 Willamette rallied past Pacific Lutheran 35-17.

Concordia (Ill.) knocked off Lakeland 41-32 to create a four-way tie for second in the Northern Athletics Conference. Castleton State won its first game ever against Anna Maria in Week 1 and did it again this week, though the Amcats kept it closer before falling on a late field goal, 24-21.
