“We played really well in the first half,” Southwestern head coach Aaron Fricke said. “Immediately after coming out after the half, we kept pinning ourselves deep inside our own territory. The game was not a total disappointment. We showed we have the potential to be there with the best of them.”

Southwestern quarterback Caleb Robinson again led the team with a touchdown passing and another rushing for 200 yards passing. Bobby Smith also scored a touchdown and backup quarterback Dylan Grizzle hit Jack Little at the end of the game on another TD pass.
