Saint Mary's starting quarterback Micah Brown was 8 for 24 for 163-yards and was sacked three times. Huskies receivers dropped no fewer than six catchable passes. Brown also rushed ten times for 77-yards.

Defensively, Laval was led by linebacker Frederic Plesius. He recorded 5 solo tackles, 3 assisted tackles and a quarterback sack. For the Huskies, Ryan King made 8 solo tackles, 4 assisted tackles and forced two fumbles.
