College Football Returns to the South Shore

The Truman State University Bulldogs and Tiffin University Dragons have been selected to participate in the third annual NCAA Division II America’s Crossroads Bowl (ACB) on Saturday, Dec. 3, in Hobart, Indiana, representing the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) and Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC), respectively. 

Tiffin University (6-4, 6-2) makes their first appearance in the bowl game, while Truman State (8-2, 5-1) returns to the bowl game for the third time to defend their title as ACB champions. The Bulldogs and Dragons already met once this season with Truman sneaking out an overtime win, 18-17, on Sept. 24 at home in Kirksville, Missouri.

America’s Crossroads Bowl is one of four NCAA Division II bowl games sponsored nationally in 2022 and is conducted in partnership with the South Shore Convention & Visitors Authority and City of Hobart.
