The game kicked off with the Wildcats being taken down by the Huskies in tackles. After a possession change, the Huskies made their first touchdown with a successful 1-point conversion. Kelly, Better, and Morgan were determined to continue to get back up after each take down, which made for a powerful game. As the first quarter made its way to 7 minutes, the Huskies scored their second touchdown with a successful 2-point conversion, leading the game with 17-0. While the Wildcats tried to break the momentum of the Huskies, another touchdown was made, but a flag may have signaled a saving-grace for the Harlem based team. With the Huskies pushed back to the 29-yard line, they did indeed make for the endzone and bring the score up to 23-0 with a blocked 1-point conversion. With 3 touchdowns, 3 touchbacks, and the Wildcats third attempt at starting on the 15-yard line, Morgan was brought down behind the line. With the yard returns produced by the Huskies, it is understood why they are undefeated. At just under 3 minutes, the Huskies secure another touchdown with a successful 2-point conversion.
