Then PC added another first down. Then with 4^th-and-7 on the GW 27, Wheeling rolled right and passed to Cobbs at the 15, who broke a tackle and went into the endzone for an apparent score. However, Wheeling had crossed the line of scrimmage before throwing the pass. This loss-of-down penalty handed the ball back to GW. Two plays later, Motley took a knee, and the game was over.

"We made improvement in our kicking game, I was impressed with that," Coach Hicks said after the game.
