YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — Noah Kim's fourth quarter touchdown throw to Joshua Long helped give Eastern Michigan a 16-10 win over Northern Illinois on Saturday.
The Eagles (2-5, 1-2 MAC) were led by Dontae McMillan's 104 rushing yards on 23 attempts while Kim added 32 yards on nine attempts.
Each team traded field goals in a 6-3 first half, with Rudy Kessinger connecting from 35 and 49 yards while Northern Illinois' Andrew Glass made one from 30 yards.
Telly Johnson Jr. broke free for an 80-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter to give the Huskies (1-5, 0-2 MAC) 10-6 lead.
Long's 6-yard touchdown grab from Kim gave the Eagles the lead back for good. Kessinger's 28-yard field with less than six minutes remaining extended the lead.
NIU leads the series, 36-17-2 since the two teams first met in 1927.
