In their 19th season under head coach Clarence Stasavich, the team compiled an 11\u20130\u20131 record (6\u20130 against NSC opponents) and won the NSC championship.[1] The Bears were ranked No. 2 in the final Associated Press small college poll and No. 3 in the final UPI small college coaches poll. (The small college polls included both NCAA and NAIA programs.) Both polls were issued before the team’s post-season victories.[2][3]On December 3, the Bears played Northern Michigan in the NAIA’s Eastern Regional playoff. The game ended in a 20\u201320 tie.  NAIA officials decided to award Lenoir Rhyne the Eastern berth in the Holiday Bowl (then the NAIA national championship game) based on total yards gained by in the playoff game.[4]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In the Holiday Bowl, Lenoir Rhyne defeated Humboldt State, 15\u201314, to win the NAIA national championship.
