SAGU jumped out to an early 7-0 after scooping up a UNW fumble and returning it 63 yards to the house for an early advantage. The Lions pushed their lead to 10 with a 39-yard field goal at the end of the first quarter. The score would remain the same heading into halftime.
The teams came out of the locker room and played an even second half, battling the elements and each other's strong defenses. With neither team putting any points on the board for much of the final 30 minutes of play, UNW found life with 3:49 remaining in the game. Senior Grant Schoen found Cody Carlson on a 16-yard strike and Ben Lyons tacked on the extra point to cut the SAGU lead to 10-7. After a failed onside kick attempt, the Eagles forced the Lions to punt, meaning the Eagles would have one final shot to rally. The Lions picked off a pass on the final drive to secure its first Victory Bowl win. [1]
