There was a gross conclusion to an NJCAA title game Sunday between Erie and Dakota College when freshman Brandon Day charged out of the penalty box to attack a referee.
The game was called with 39 seconds left as a result of the violent tackle, and Dakota College was awarded the 7-4 win.
As it turns out, this was the last game in NJCAA history, as the association has plans to dissolve.
Day is in police custody, and will be charged for the attack, according to ESPN.
