Rochester is currently ranked #2 nationally and had 16 players earn All-MCAC honors. North Dakota State College of Science, whose only conference loss came at the hands of Rochester, earned the two seed in the tournament. The #3 ranked NDSCS Wildcats placed 14 athletes on the All-MCAC team and look to defend their 2022 MCAC/Region 13 post-season title when they take on Rochester in the 2023 MCAC/Region 13 Football Championship Game at St. Cloud State University on November 5 at 1:00 PM.
