The Tigers scored twice more in the game, as Horner scored from seven yards away in the third quarter, and then Trynt Unger scored from 31 yards away in the fourth.

The Tigers were down a couple of key players this week due to injury, Ethan Latta and Breck Horner, which was confirmed by Head Coach Mike Spargo. The Tigers then got to see what kind of depth they had in this one.

The Sailors competed hard in this matchup and did some good things.
