Grand Forks, N.D. - Senior John Kinder (Inwood, N.Y.) enjoyed his best game as a Seawolf, completing 12 of 18 for 172 yards, but North Dakota used a 92-yard interception for a touchdown in a 13-3 win Saturday at the Alerus Center.

Senior Will Tye (Middletown, Conn.) had five catches for a career-high 103 yards.

The defense was outstanding for the fourth straight game, limiting North Dakota to 145 yards.

Stony Brook got on the board, 3-0, in the second quarter courtesy of a fumble recovery from senior Max Martinez (Wichita, Kan.) on a muffed fair catch. But on the ensuing drive, UND's Joe Mollberg hit Dev Ferguson on a post route for a 68-yard score to make it 6-3.

Midway through the third quarter, Kinder drove the Seawolves down to the North Dakota nine, but on second and goal from the seven, Alex Tillman stepped in front of the pass and returned it 92 yards for a touchdown.

Head Coach Chuck Priore - "We just have to do a better job at finishing. Our defense and special teams were tremendous tonight. They had 145 yards of total offense and 68 were on the long pass. Great effort from those guys. We were able to move the ball effectively; just couldn't put it away."
