 The Jaguars increased the lead to 20-0 on a 70-yard sprint Jake Bondi (Anderson) but David Cons scooped a fumble and returned it 20 yards to cut the lead down to 20-6 (failed conversion) at the half.

The score remained 20-6 after three quarters but Bondi hit Gavin Brown on a short 3-yard pass (Smith) to increase the score to 27-6 in the fourth and Marcos Gradillas scored on a 20-yard run (Smith) to make the final score, 34-6 Jaguars.
