The win marked the team's first since 2012. Head coach Anthony Salvati praised the team's hard work and their success as a two-way unit, with running back/outside linebacker Jack Sigel leading the charge with three touchdowns, including a sack on defense. Quarterback Matteo Anderson added two more touchdowns to change the game's momentum. Rockville scored early after a 34-yard touchdown pass from Luca Houle to Keith Schmidt. North Branford responded with a 20-yard quarterback keeper by Anderson, and eventually scored three more touchdowns, the last one coming on a 14-yard run by Sigel. After Rockville's onside kick recovery, they tied the game and then scored again with a touchdown run by Victor Hernandez Jr. North Branford held strong to secure the win with a 26-yard field goal by kicker Owen Brustman.",
