Defensively, Dominic Allan had 20 tackles, 9 sacks and 4 assists, Sean Doman had seven sacks, six tackles for lost yardage and 15 total tackles. Mark Cheffers had an interception, two tackles, two assists and three pass defenses. Mark Scheck  caused fumble and JP Klucik had a fumble recovery, two tackles for losses, six tackles and two assists.

"I was proud of the leadership from the seniors and captains," said Coach Rich Scanlon. "Overall, it was a good start in less than ideal weather conditions."
