The Nighthawks scored on the next drive with a Noble 2 yard dive to make it 16-0 with 1:55 to go in the opening frame.
To start the second quarter, Caleb Kats scrambled to keep the play alive, found Noble in open space who took the reception 42-yards for the score. The extra point snap was bobbled, and Kats took the fire drill to the corner of the endzone for the two points to make 24-0 with 11:43 to go in the first half. Heelan finally got on the board with a 7 minute drive. Nathan Favors found Brayden Pratt from 8 yards out to pull within 24-7.
