First match-up of 9-0 teams in PWC since 2000. Battlefield shuts out Patriot's offense a week after the Pioneers put up 76 points on John Champe to go 10-0 on the regular season again.
The game started out as more of a defensive game with both teams looking equal, getting to the ball on defense, and trading possessions. Patriot forced two turnovers earlier in the game, including one that resulted in a pick six to go up 7-0. Battlefield answered back at the beginning of the second quarter where a receiver got separation and scored on a long pass downfield. Battlefield kicked a nice field goal at the end of the first half to go up 10-7.
Patriot did get close to punching it in on one drive but were stopped on 4th and short close to the end zone that ended their possession, which was a key stop for the Battlefield defense in the game. On their last scoring drive, Battlefield entered Patriot territory and scored on a run where their QB shed a few tacklers and broke free up the middle for the score.
