The Wildcats remembered this as it fueled their dominate win over the Golden Eagles in this semifinal, beating Marquette 28-5 to move on to the qualifying final.
    This is where the good fortune for the Wildcats ended. The final matchup came against the Wisconsin-Eau Claire Blugolds. The Blugolds defeated the Wildcats 35-0. However, the WIldcats still were able to qualify for Nationals as the top two finishers from this qualifying tournament got automatic bids.
