Wesley recorded the only points of the first half on a 20-yard field goal off the foot of Chris Carlson with 8:30 to play in the second quarter. After a scoreless third quarter, the Wolverines extended their lead to 10-0 when Nelson scored his first touchdown from three yards out. Nelson scored again on a 13-yard run with 6:08 remaining, set up by a Rocky Myers interception of a Mike Mikolaichik pass. The Bengals drove the ball deep into Wesley territory in the waning minutes, but turned the ball over on downs, before the Wolverines ran the clock out.
