HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Fleet started fast, as Gary Maddox III recorded a sack safety on the first play from scrimmage and then Jo Burson caught a 35-yard touchdown to give Erskine a 9-0 lead less than five minutes into the game.
- Chowan responded and took a 13-9 lead toward the end of the first half, but a well-executed two-minute drill from the Fleet offense ended in a 14-yard touchdown by Rodshaun "Tonk" Dorsey to put the Fleet in front, 16-13, at the half.
- Kaydon Sauers' 1-yard touchdown run extended Erskine's lead to 23-13 late in the third quarter, but a pick-six and a Hawks touchdown put the visitors back on top, 27-23, early in the fourth quarter.
- That scoreline remained the same until the Fleet's offense delivered in the clutch, a 5-yard touchdown catch from freshman Josh Brown for the go-ahead score inside the final minute. However, Chowan ran the ensuing kickoff back for a touchdown to stun the Fleet late.
