FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) _ Ronney Jenkins and Marcus King each scored two touchdowns as Northern Arizona beat Portland State 40-24 Saturday night to keep its hopes alive for a NCAA Division I-AA playoff berth. Travis Brown completed 25 of 40 passes for 293 yards and a touchdown for the Lumberjacks (7-3, 5-2 Big Sky) who won their fourth consecutive game. Portland State (8-3, 6-2) had its four-game winning streak stopped and gave up its share of the conference lead to Montana, which is 6-1. The Vikings must now wait to see if they are granted an at-large spot to the 16-team I-AA playoff field. Charles Dunn's third touchdown of the game _ a 1-yard run with 10:46 to play _ got Portland State within 27-24. But King's 6-yard scoring run capped an 80-yard drive for a 33-24 lead with less than six minutes left and Northern Arizona safety Cleve Dansby sealed the win with an interception on the Vikings' next-to-last drive.
