In the third quarter, Snyder threw the ball to wide receiver Bruno Elizondo, who scored the touchdown for SRA. Rodriguez made the PAT once again, resulting in a 29-0 lead. In the fourth and final quarter, tight end Lance Burden made the final touchdown of the game, for a final score of 35-0.

Throughout the game, there were many outstanding players, such as Connor Dougherty, Ben Graves, Markel Chebat, Ryan Ramos, Tucker Shaw, Nic Paradiang, and Jacob Munstock, who all made tackles, along with the other players mentioned above.
