No. 1 seed Lions Stand Strong in 56-49 Win Over No. 4 Seed Tarleton State

Commerce, Texas – With the No. 4 seed Tarleton State (4-5) on the Lion 2-yard line, the No. 1 seeded A&M-Commerce (8-2) stood strong on the shoulders of Leo Migo, who recorded his career-high 14th tackle, on a goal line stand sealing the 56-49 win for the Lions and keeping the team's NCAA playoff hopes alive.
 
With the Lions up 56-49 late in the game, the Texans attempted a game-tying drive, and after a multitude of successful plays, Tarleton State found itself on the six-yard line with 1.5 seconds left in the game. TSU threw an incomplete pass into the end zone as time expired, but a pass interference penalty on the Lions meant the Texans gained a stay of execution, which gave them a first down on the Lions two-yard line with no time remaining. TSU ran the ball up the middle, where a waiting Migo wrapped up closed the gap with a game-saving tackle. A&M-Commerce entered the contest as the NCAA's leader in tackles for loss and accounted for 10 on the night against the Texans...Complete Release
