Jackets Tame Wildcats

The duo connected again but switched roles at the end of the first quarter after breaking the Wildcat ten-man ride. The Jacket defense stood tall as the offense looked to find their footing. When the Wildcats managed to get good looks, Peter Zagrobelny turned them away.

The offense began to find their flow in the second quarter. Quarles and Rose connected again early in the quarter. The Jackets got two goals each from Brooks Baro and Asher Wagnon later in the second quarter. Ben Skopicki was dominant facing off and kept feeding the Tech offense. The Jackets led 7-0 at halftime.
