Despite missing two games, Rourke completed 22 of his 39 passes, including two touchdown passes, for 370 yards. The Lions held on for the win, with Justin McInnis scoring a crucial touchdown in the second half.
The Ticats, who had 239 passing yards from Harrison Frost, managed to score a touchdown despite losing their starting quarterback to a finger injury. The Lions' defense played "extremely well" and found an identity under head coach Buck Pierce.
