Hurricane received the game's opening kickoff and drove the ball steadily down the field, cul- minating in a 5-yard touchdown run for Steven Handley to go up 7-0. Following alternating posses- sions, Hurricane mounted an- other scoring drive in the second quarter that saw Michael Molina knock in a field goal to go up 10- 0 – a score that would stand at halftime. Hurricane's smothering de- fense was able to keep Capital in check the entire first half, as the Cougars went to the locker room at halftime without a first down, and with only 3 net yards. After the break, the Cougars returned to the field with a new energy. Capital mounted a scor- ing drive early in the third quar- ter that culminated in a 6-yard touchdown run from Kashaun Haley.
