a 3-0 lead. Keating extended the lead to 6-0 on a 38-yard
field goal at 3:01 in the second quarter. On the ensuing Orediggers
drive the defense held Mines to three offensive plays, forcing the
Orediggers to punt from their own 24-yard line. A miscue on the
snap and Mines punter Adam Sprouse was forced to bat the ball out
of the back of the endzone for an MSC safety (8-0).
Following
the safety Tommy Campbell returned the Orediggers punt 13-yards
to the MSC 48. On the first play from scrimmage Phil Vigil
connected with Drew Bohannan for a 50-yard pass reception
down to the Mines' 2-yard line. After a false start penalty by MSC
pushing the ball back to the 7-yard line, Vigil took the
snap and rushed for his seventh touchdown of the year.
MSC
scored their final points of the game following a Brandon Charles
interception with 55 seconds remaining in the half. MSC drove the
