- Maritime's touchdown was wiped out by a holding call, and two plays later it kicked a 25-yard field goal for a 7-3 score (4:56, second).
- Facing fourth-and-goal at the WP-7, a fumble ended another Maritime scoring threat early in the third quarter.
- WP found the end zone with 5:31 remaining in the contest thanks to a 10-yard carry by freshman Amier Alford, making it a 14-3 Pioneer advantage.
