Junior J.D.Izon, who rushed for 40 yards on four carries, returned the ensuing kickoff 75 yards for a Spalding touchdown, building the lead to 28-15 at the break.

On the night, Abey completed 7-of-8 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns. Scott Sharik had two receptions for 22 yards as Spalding rushed for 269 yards and passed for 154 yards.
