The score of game was 29-27 for the Gaels. Laurier started the first quarter by scoring a single on the first kick of the game. Following that up was Matt Babel’s 32-yard touchdown that gave the Hawks an 8-0 lead. Also at the end of the quarter was Ed Becker’s field goal.

Responding to the threat was once again Nick Cameron who was able to move the ball for another touchdown. A two-point convert was attempted to make sure the Hawks had their win, however the attempt failed and Hawks remained up by 5. With only 9 seconds left in the game,
