GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) Alex Tillman returned an interception 92 yards for a touchdown to fuel North Dakota's defense in a 13-3 victory over Stony Brook on Saturday night.

North Dakota (2-2) trailed 3-0 in the second quarter, but assumed the lead quickly as Joe Mollberg connected with Dev Ferguson on a 68-yard strike.

John Kinder drove Stony Brook (1-3) into the red zone, but Tillman shifted momentum with his pick six with 4:42 left in the third quarter.

North Dakota continued to stall Stony Brook's ensuing drives, forcing two fumbles, two punts and stuffing a fourth-down attempt.

The UND defense finished with six sacks and 16 tackles for losses. Taj Rich totaled 19 tackles and Will Ratelle added 13.
