He scored Kutztown's first touchdown on a 4-yard run with 6 minutes, 45 seconds remaining in the first quarter. That score sliced Post's advantage to 14-7. The Golden Bears did not get any closer as the Pioneers scored two touchdowns each in the second and third quarters.

Senior wide receiver Shane Martin (New Holland, PA/Garden Spot) (New Holland/Garden Spot) led Kutztown with six catches for 60 yards. Freshman wide receiver Dominick Massey (Abington, PA/Abington) (Abington/Abington) had three catches for 69 yards. Freshman wide receiver Chris McCormick (West Chester/West Chester East) (West Chester/East) caught his sixth touchdown pass of the season, a 14-yard catch midway through the third quarter.

Junior kicker Matt Dineen (Wilmington, De/Concord) (Wilmington, DE/Concord) added to his single-season field goal school record total by making a 38-yarder late in the first half. Dineen has made 15 field goals this season.

Senior defensive lineman Chris Medina (Kennett/Kennett Square) added seven stops. Junior defensive end Kevin Bolinsky (Ashland, PA/North Schuykill) (Ashland/North Schuylkill) recorded his team leading eighth-and-a-half sacks.

C.W. Post quarterback Eric Anderwkavich fired touchdown passes to three different receivers in the first 18 minutes to help the Pioneers to a 28-10 halftime lead. Anderwkavich threw for 187 of his 303 yards in the first half. He also ran for two touchdowns and led the Pioneers in rushing with 65 yards. Overall, Post generated 245 yards of total offense in the opening 30 minutes. Kutztown only gained 133 yards in the first half.
