DILLON, Mont. — The no. 4 ranked Montana Western football team is set to host the no. 6 seeded Morningside (Iowa) in the quarterfinal of the NAIA Football Championship Series (FCS), the NAIA national office announced on Saturday evening.

Montana Western enters the game following a win over the no. 14 Dickinson State Blue Hawks, their first playoff win since 1994. The Bulldogs were led by Michael Palandri who threw for 388 passing yards and five touchdowns.

The Bulldogs will welcome the Mustangs to Dillon on Saturday, December 7 for a kickoff at 12 p.m. The game is part of a four-game slate across the NAIA with a trip to the semifinals up for grabs.

Morningside earned their way into the quarterfinal game after they demolished MidAmerica Nazarene 35-0. The game was highlighted by MU's Dijian Walls who broke a school record with a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown early in the third quarter.

Further information regarding tickets, tailgating, and other visitor's information will be announced later this week.
