-On 2nd-and-10 from the Duhawks' 41, Kelly connected with senior Mike Kuhn for a 50-yard completion to once again drive deep into Wartburg territory, but the offense stalled and Quigley converted his second field goal of the half
-Castoro took the kickoff to start the second half 23 yards and helped ignite a 12-play 60-yard drive for Loras … On 4th-and-Goal from the one, senior Ike Cloward was stopped for a loss and the Knights took over on downs
