The "RFC Postseason's Greetings series continues by taking a look back at an NCAA Division II national semifinal game that was played on Saturday, December 8, 2007, between the Grand Valley State University Lakers from Allendale, Michigan, and the Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats from Maryville, Missouri.
The Bearcats advanced to the national championship with a 34-16 win over the Lakers, in a contest where GVSU held a 13-10 lead at halftime. But Northwest caught fire in the second half, outscoring the Lakers 24-3 over the final 60 minutes of playing time to end Grand Valley's 40-game winning streak.
However, Northwest Missouri State's quest to win another national championship ended in defeat. Valdosta State won only its second-ever title after the Blazers beat the Bearcats 25-20 in the national title game the following week. Northwest Missouri State ended its 2007 season at 12-2 overall.
