The game was very even for the first quarter with no team having an advantage and the 0-0 score reflected it well. During the second quarter, the Colonials started looking like they did earlier in the season, scoring on runs by Daniel Miller and Zac Carter. The 14-0 score carried the Colonials into halftime, but Randolph could not be contained in the second half as it scored three unanswered touchdowns to lock up the 22-14 win.
