The Falcons continued to pour it on in the 3^rd quarter. They scored seven straight goals in a five-plus minute stretch. Six different players scored during the run, with Campbell the only player to score twice during the run in a balanced attack, which ended with Bentley ahead 17-3.

Guillaro scored Bentley's final two goals of the game, at the 3:12 mark of the 3^rd quarter and 6:19 of the 4^th quarter.
