Van Pelt, Waring lead Grand View to 2nd straight NAIA Championship, 22-16 over
Keiser
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) --- Dalten Van Pelt rushed for 144 yards, including an
80-yard touchdown, Jackson Waring threw a tiebreaking TD pass, and undefeated
Grand View (Iowa) beat Keiser (Florida) for the second straight time in the
NAIA Championship with a 22-16 win on Saturday.
Grand View (14-0) defeated Keiser (12-1) in last year's title game 35-7. In
their only other meeting, Keiser beat Grand View in a semifinal in 2022 before
losing in the championship game.
Tied at 13 in the fourth quarter, Waring, a two-time NAIA Player of the Year,
threw a 40-yard pass to Corey Phillips to regain the lead in the fourth
quarter. Cory Wood later extended the lead with his third field goal.
Dorian Hall kicked his third field goal with two seconds left, and Keiser
recovered the onside kick before an incomplete pass ended the game.
Keiser led 3-0 after the first quarter, then the Vikings responded with two
field goals and Van Pelt's long run with 22 seconds left in the first half, for
a 13-3 lead.
Keiser tied the game in the third quarter on Shea Spencer's 7-yard pass to
Maurico Porcha and a field goal.
Waring finished with 144 yards passing.
Spencer threw for 290 yards with Porcha hauling in 114 yards receiving and
Dallas Desouza bringing in 102.
