CHENEY, Wash.--Bo Levi Mitchell threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Hart on the first play of overtime and Eastern Washington recovered a goal-line fumble by quarterback Brock Jensen to beat North Dakota State 38-31 before a disappointing crowd of 4,060 at Roos Field in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) quarterfinals on Saturday, Dec. 11.

Taiwan Jones rushed for a career-high 230 yards for the fifth-seeded Eagles (11-2), who will host Villanova either Friday or Saturday in the semifinals. Jones had 203 yards in the first half including a 69-yard TD run. He only rushed 27 in the second half and fumbled several times.

With the Bison (9-5) facing second-and-goal at the Eastern Washington 4-yard line, Jensen was hit by J.C. Sherritt and the ball came loose when his hands hit the turf. Zach Johnson recovered in the end zone. An official review didn't overturn the call and fans stormed the field.

Mike Sigers tied a school record with two blocked kicks, a field goal and a punt, and also raced 94 yards with the kickoff to start the second half against Eastern Washington. It is the first kickoff return for a TD since 2007 when Shamen Washington went 93 yards at Mississippi Valley State.

Sigers now has four blocked kicks this season to tie the NDSU mark set by Al Nowak in 1970. His two blocked kicks in a game also tied the school record set Greg Bentson vs. Montana State in 1972.

D.J. McNorton had 124 yards rushing and a touchdown for North Dakota State. McNorton rushed for 100 yards for the nine time over the past 11 games.

The NDSU defense scored off an interception for the fourth time this season. Redshirt freshman Marcus Williams picked an EWU pass and returned it five yards for the score. Williams had four interceptions and a pass defended in 12 of 14 games. Senior corner Josh Gatlin intercepted his team-high fifth pass in the second half.
