In the second quarter, Unzen picked up where he had left off in the scoring department by scampering 3 yards for his third touchdown run. Jacobson then got his first points on the night by catching a Hayden Hoffman pass for the two point conversion and boosting the Rebels lead to 21-0

The third quarter belonged to Jacobson as he first scored on a 62 yard punt return for a touchdown and later ran in for a 6 yard score. Jacob Disterhaupt rounded out the ML-WR scoring with a 19 yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
