Led by sixth-year head coach Steve Olson, the Huskies compiled an overall record of 4–7 with a mark of 2–4 in conference play, placing fifth in the GLIAC.

That was enough time for Hillsdale to get within striking range, but that's where the Charger's luck ended because on a hail-mary pass with a few seconds left on the game clock, the Huskies intercepted the ball in the endzone.

With 11:28 left in the 1st quarter, Michigan Tech got a Field Goal to make the game 3–0, then recovered a Lakers fumble 80 seconds later.

Unfortunately for the Lakers, their Quarterback threw an interception with 9 seconds left, giving Michigan Tech a momentum boost and a 9–3 lead heading into the locker room.

Entering the third quarter, Michigan Tech continued their momentum, with a touchdown and intercepting the Saginaw Valley State quarterback within the first four and a half minutes.

The last seven in this drive came when Huskies Quarterback Will Ark threw a Pick Six four minutes into the fourth quarter, giving the Lakers a 28–16 lead.

This warranted them to attempt an onside kick, which Saginaw Valley State recovered, securing the season sweep over the Huskies.
