Special teams contributed positively without any blocked punts or returns for touchdowns but maintained solid field position through effective punting that included three kicks inside the opponent's twenty-yard line.


The fans witnessed disciplined play from their team with only eight penalties amounting to sixty-five penalty yards throughout four quarters – ensuring that unnecessary mistakes did not hinder their performance.
