Last November, the Missouri S&T football team denied Southwest Baptist a chance at finishing with a winning record by beating SBU in its season finale.
The Bearcats turned the tables on the Miners Saturday, avenging last year's 40-point loss to S&T with a 54-13 win at SBU’s Plaster Stadium to end the Miners' three-game winning streak.
After the teams traded touchdowns in the first quarter, the host Bearcats rattled off 48 unanswered points to secure their first winning season since 2001. They got the win largely on the performance of quarterback Steve Gachette, who racked 570 yards of total offense by himself of the 696 accumulated by SBU Saturday.
The Miners will wrap up the 2009 season next Saturday at Kentucky Wesleyan at 1 p.m. The Panthers won for the second time on the year today with a 21-6 victory at Lincoln.
