The Bishops got on the board early on a 18-yard Townsend run.  A failed PAT left NCWC in the lead at 6-0 just five minutes into the game.  Ferrum responded with a 7-play, 68-yard drive, capped by a 7-yard run by Matthew Lucas.  Clint Slappey's extra point gave the Panthers their first and only lead of the game, 7-6 with 6:20 remaining in the first quarter.

Coach Jack Ginn's team then reeled off 49 unanswered points to take a 55-7 lead late in the third quarter.  Townsend found Teron Bush from 16 yards out to close out first-quarter scoring.  Bryan Haywood and Shelton Leverette each had a touchdown run in the second quarter to make the score 27-7 at halftime.

The Bishops continued their domination in the third quarter as Townsend hit Mish Gilliam with a 35-yard scoring pass.  Bush, Townsend and Haywood added TD runs before the end of the third quarter for the 55-7 lead. 

Ferrum tallied the only score of the fourth quarter when Marcel Tucker bulldozed his way into the end zone from two yards out.  Slappey's extra point made the final margin 55-14.  Tucker had 83 yards rushing on 10 carries.

On the day, the Panthers turned the ball over four times.  Ferrum QB Jermaine Pitts was 5-of-20 passing for 124 yards and an interception.  Of the three Panther fumbles, two were recovered by the Bishops and converted into touchdowns.
