The Purple Eagles other touchdown came in the second quarter on a Amari Jones to Gibson 39 yard pass play as DeClan McCue again added the extra point kick.

Amari Jones completed 15 of 23 passes for 232 yards and the two TDs on the evening. Gibson caught 7 passes for 107 yards. Javon Jones 3 for 64 and Shabazz 3 for 42.

Capitalizing on a pair of Albion turnovers, the host Huskies jumped out to a 14-0 first quarter lead and extended the advantage to 26-7 at the half.
