In front of a crowd of more than 250 fans the Beavers wasted no time proving they came to play by taking the opening kickoff back for a touchdown. A failed P.A.T. attempt gave the Beavers a 6-0 lead less than a minute into the game. 

Both teams' defensive units caused problems and made if difficult for the opposing offense to move the ball in the first half. The Sting did manage to put one drive together, marched down the field and scored on a short run by #5 B. McClellan.  A successful PAT made the score 7-6, which stayed that way going into halftime.

The second half was a continuation of the first with both teams still struggling on offense. Midway through the fourth McClellan scored his second TD of the day on a 40+ yard run. The P.A.T. attempt was unsuccessful  bringing the score to 13-6.  The defensive battle continued and the score remained 13-6 until the final whistle.
