The win improved UNA's record to 8-0, including 5-0 in the Gulf South Conference. Delta State fell to 3-4 and 2-3.
UNA scored just 35 seconds into the game but then found itself on the short end of a 24-14 score midway through the second quarter. The Lions closed the deficit to 24-21 at the half and then shutout the Statesmen during the final 30 minutes, while scoring 13 points of their own.
The clinching score came when UNA's Quinton Andrews returned a Garrett DeWitt interception 40 yards for a touchdown with 10:04 left in the game. Andrews finished the game with 18 tackles, two caused fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception.

Trevar Deed had 115 yards receiving and 122 yards rushing for the Statesmen.

Delta State answered immediately, however, marching 76 yards in 16 plays for a touchdown of its own. Trevar Deed dove through the right side of the line for the score, and Matt Dean's PAT tied the game 7-7 with 7:42 left in the first quarter.
Following a UNA punt, Delta state again drove to the end zone and Deed covered the final two yards for the score. Dean's extra point gave the Statesmen a 14-7 lead with 5:49 left in the first quarter.
North Alabama scored just three plays later to tie the game. Harrison Beck connected with Mico McSwain on a 56-yard touchdown pass and Spencer's extra point made it 14-14 with 4:41 left in the opening period.
Derek Freeman recovered his own fumble in the end zone for a touchdown on Delta's next possession and Dean's kick made it 21-14 with 2:07 still left in the first quarter.
A 25-yard Dean field goal at 8:26 of the second quarter extended DSU's lead to 24-14 with 8:26 left in the half.
After UNA recovered a DSU fumble, the Lions scored five plays later on a seven-yard TD pass from Beck to T.J. Porter. Spencer's kick cut Delta's lead to 24-21 with 4:17 remaining in the first half.
Delta State held onto the ball throughout the third quarter but couldn't get on the scoreboard. UNA finally broke through in the fourth quarter when Beck threw his third TD pass of the night, this one for five yards to T.J. Porter. Spencer's kick gave UNA the lead at 28-24 with 12:13 left in the game.
Andrews' interception and return clinched the win for the Lions as Spencer's kick made it 34-24 with 10:04 left.
