Before the end of the first quarter La Touche would add to the Hawks lead on a strong 16 yard run to give the Hawks a comfortable 21-0 lead.  Before quarter time was up La Touche would fumble the ball with Warrior defensive end Corey Bince (Mississauga/) recovering the ball on the Hawks side of the field to set up good field position heading into the second quarter but the Warriors were unable to capitalize.

With 9:31 remaining in the half, Waterloo would score their only points of the game on a successful 20 yard field goal by kicker Jake Fiorucci (Niagara Falls/)  to make the score 21-3.

Following some sloppy offensive plays and several Laurier penalties the Hawks would once again find their offensive stride with Kelly hooking up with Chambers, this time on a nine yard pass to give the Hawks a 28-3 lead.  A 41 yard field goal by Ronnie Pfeffer (Kitchener, Ont.) late in the quarter would give the Hawks a 31-3 lead heading into halftime.

Laurier continued to pour on the offensive stats in the second half with hometown receiver Dillon Heap (Waterloo, Ont.) earning a 30 yard gain setting up a two yard touchdown run for La Touche, his second of the game to put Laurier in front 38-3.
