It was the final NJCAA National Championship game in history between Dakota College at Bottineau and Erie Community College. Let’s be honest, no one had any interest in this game beforehand. That was until the ECC freshman Brandon Day rushed out of the penalty box and creamed the referee with :39 to go in the game.
As a result, the game was called with Dakota leading 7-4. Day was taken into custody by the SUNY Broome Police and will face charges for his acts.
The NJCAA assistant executive director, Mark Krug, released the following statement:
