The Red Raiders then responded in the second quarter with a long touchdown pass and a successful two point conversion, making the game 8-8.

Massena then struck to make the game 14-6
With about two minutes to go, the Bears again looked to be on the doorstep of a touchdown when Mahoney connected with sophomore tight end Jonah Longshore with a pass that would have left the Bears on the ten yard line, but again a holding penalty called back the play.
