BOX SCORE

HOW IT HAPPENED

First Quarter

Both teams were stopped just outside of the red zone on their opening possession of the game. Salisbury was stopped on a 4th-and-6 play and turned the ball over on downs. Rowan drove down the field on its ensuing drive and Myles Christian ended the drive with a diving interception.

Second Quarter

Salisbury held on the ball for 17 plays following the Christian interception. The 73-yard drive was capped off by a Bert Schrecongost 32-yard field goal to open the scoring.
Following a Rowan punt, Jack Lanham threw deep to Hunter Cleaver for a 33-yard touchdown grab to put Salisbury up 10-0 with five minutes left in the half.

Third Quarter

Rowan's opening drive of the second half ended similar to how the first drive of the game ended with a Christian interception but Salisbury turned the ball over on its first possession of the second half.
The Profs capitalized on the field position following the fumble recovery with a James Fara touchdown run to trim the Sea Gull lead to 10-7.
Salisbury responded well on its ensuing drive. Two plays following a 40-yard run by Lanham, Shamar Gray crossed into the end zone from nine yards out to put SU back up 17-7 with five minutes left in the third.

Fourth Quarter

Salisbury tacked on insurance in the fourth quarter when Joey Bildstein busted through the goal line on a dive play following two long runs to get inside the red zone. Schrecongost's extra point stretched SU's lead to 24-7.
