Another big play by Michael Nied

Less than a week after his hit on Evansville's Derek Cashore sent his team to the state championship game, Michael Nied made another big defensive stop, this one to give Mayville a halftime lead.

Facing a fourth-and-goal at the 1, Evansville opted to go for it, but Riley Schreurs was stopped dead in his tracks by Nied, who came in hard from the linebacker position.

Mayville got the ball back inside its 1 with a minute left, but because the Cardinals will get the ball back to start the second half, coach Tom Noennig felt content to let time run out.

After a shaky start, things are looking real good now for Mayville, especially if the Cardinals can score on their opening drive of the second half.
