Tommy Stuart hooked up with Kellon Taylor for a 15-yard scoring strike that broke a 14-14 tie in the final minute of the first half and DUQUESNE led the rest of the way. Making his third start at quarterback, Stuart threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more while receiver Nehari Crawford pulled in six passes for 125 yards and one score.

Columbia's Oren Milstein broke a 14-14 tie by hittig a 29-yard field goal at the gun. WAGNER, which faced a 14-0 deficit at halftime, used two second-half touchdown runs from Ryan Fulse (83, 21) to even the score at 14-14.
