MacMurray and Crown led off the Upper Midwest conference's annual Dome Day with a track meet on Friday morning in Minneapolis as MacMurray won 68-62 in overtime in the Metrodome.

The game came just short of tying the Division III record for most points in regulation, which was 138, set when Brockport State beat Hartwick 70-68 last November in an ECAC bowl game, then a couple of scores short of the 72-70 Hartwick-Utica quadruple-overtime game from 2007.

The teams punted just three times, none in the second half as the teams combined to score 35 apiece in the fourth quarter and finished the game with a combined 1,110 yards of total offense.



"Once we got to overtime," MacMurray coach Jake Box said, "I said, 'hey, let's be aggressive.' We played man coverage, brought a lot more people, rushed them more. Maybe we should have done that earlier ... they've scored 62, there's no point in sitting back. Let's get after it." Listen to the full postgame interview on the Daily Dose.

Crown threw three incomplete passes sandwiched around a 3-yard run after Garrett Starkey had opened the extra session with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Whitaker. This week's schedule and Friday's scores, including live video and audio.

The Division III high for the season was followed by the Division III low, as Minnesota-Morris got a 37-yard field goal from Matt Privratask with 3:55 left and made it stand up to beat Macalester 3-0. A Macalester 36-yard field goal attempt went wide left as time expired. Two more one-point games followed and the final game went to Greenville, 26-20 over Northwestern (Minn.), making the final margin of victory 17 points for five games combined.
