Bridgewater got on the board first when sophomore Will Davis' 43 yard field goal split the uprights to give the Eagles a 3-0 lead with 5:40 to play in the opening frame. Davis' 43 yard field goal was a career long, surpassing a 37 yard boot from earlier in the season at Washington and Lee.

Catholic answered the Eagles two drives later when the Cardinals marched 70 yards on six plays to take a 7-3 lead after a Rich Barry one-yard blast reached the endzone with 14:31 to play in the second quarter.
