It was a strange final score, but in the end, all that mattered to Southern Oregon was that it was a loss.

Dakota State’s Adrian Villanueva hit a 35-yard field goal with 12 seconds remaining to hand the Raiders a 11-10 road loss Saturday in an NAIA Frontier Conference division crossover game at Madison, S.D.

The Trojans (3-1) also had a safety in the third quarter along with a first-quarter touchdown pass.

Fresh Ison had a 2-yard touchdown run and Danny Cossette kicked a 26-yard field goal for Southern Oregon (1-3).

The Raiders play another top-10 NAIA ranked opponent at home next (Montana Western), after losing to Montana Tech on Sept. 20 at Ashland.

Next up : vs. Montana Western, Raider Stadium, Ashland, 1 p.m. Oct. 4.

Montana State-Northern 23, Eastern Oregon 7 — At Havre, Mont.
