VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) Chris Streveler threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third as South Dakota remained unbeaten at home after holding on for a 28-25 win over Northern Iowa Saturday in the 100th Dakota Days football game.

Northern Iowa (2-3, 1-1 Missouri Valley) entered the game ranked 11th in all three Football Championship Subdivision polls but has lost three of its last four games. Northern Iowa had won seven of the previous eight meetings between the teams, including a 20-7 decision last year.

Streveler ran 69 yards for a touchdown in the second minute of the game and put the Coyotes (2-3, 1-1) in front for good by hitting Tacari Carpenter with a 75-yard touchdown pass midway through the second quarter. The pair reconnected from 29-yards out in the third quarter to make it 28-17,

Aaron Bailey sneaked in from the 1 to pull Northern Iowa within a field goal, 28-25 early in the fourth.
