SOUIX FALLS, SD. -- The #17 ranked Huskies were upset in embarrassing fashion - getting shut out by the University of Souix Falls, 36-0 Saturday.

The game was never close, as the Cougars held a 22-point lead at halftime, then tacked on touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters.

Souix Falls running back Garcia Nephi led the way with 121 yards rushing and two touchdowns.

The Huskies were able to pick up good yardage on the ground, led by Ledell White (77 yards) and Kenneth Walker (66 yards).

SCSU's passing game could not compete though, as Huskies quarterbacks combined for just six pass completions for 59 yards.

The Huskies drop to 2-1 on the season and host Upper Iowa next week.
