To start off the scoring for the Panthers, Michael Goad capped off a 52-yard drive with a three-yard quarterback keeper for a touchdown.

The Panthers started their final drive of the half at the 50-yard line. Two enormous receptions from Michael Krishok and Michael Goad set up SV at the two-yard line. Goad finished the half on a buzzer beater two-yard touchdown keeper. This put the Panthers up 14-8 at halftime.
In the fourth quarter, Drew Campbell capped off a 51-yard drive with a five-yard touchdown run to put SV up 21-8 with 11 minutes left in the game. One drive later, Campbell connected with Colby Crills for a 44-yard touchdown reception. This sealed the game for Campbell and the Panthers.
