Frostburg quarterback Myles Fulton guided the Bobcats to two more touchdowns before Wesleyan got on the board. One scoring drive went 78 yards and was capped by a 32-yard pass to Cruiz Paul-Umstead with 4:38 left in the first quarter and the second was a 15-yard scramble to the end zone just as the second quarter got underway.
