NAPERVILLE, Ill.- North Central knows how to win in the postseason.
A playoff 12-1 record since 2019 is perfect evidence of that. In each of the last two D-III tournaments, the Cardinals have reached the Stagg Bowl, and in the case of 2019, won it all for the program’s first national championship.

The Crusaders won the 2018 national title, while the Cardinals claimed a victory in the 2019 Stagg Bowl. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. CST, and can be seen on ESPNU or heard on 93.9 FM or 1330 AM. Follow for updates throughout the contest.
