Quarterback Marcus Williams scored on touchdown runs of 6 and 16 yards and also connected with Johnny Thompson on a 38-yard TD pass en route to the win.

Spencer cut the margin to 15-14 with two TD runs in the second half. An intentional safety from Eagle's Landing's Alex Paquette gave Spencer its last two points of the game.
