Washington battled back with two scores of their own to narrow the Panther lead to 21 - 13, before FZN scored twice in the final three minutes of the half to take a 34 - 13 lead into the locker room. One score was a 31 yard run by Cade Brister and the other was a 32 yard pass from Brister to Zach Stanner.
The Panthers scored 4 times in the 3rd quarter to put the game away. Austin Cox, Cade Brister, and Marcus Jones all had rushing touchdowns.
