The visiting Warriors (3-3 in the conference, 3-4 overall) hung with the Bobcats for a quarter, answering two Beaver touchdowns with one of their own. But the Bobcats (3-2, 5-2) put up three unanswered scores in the second quarter to take a 42-7 halftime lead and never looked back.

Mohawk scored on a 7-yard pass from Gio Menichino to Michael Kurtz. Menichino set up the TD with runs of 38 and 11 yards.
