It was an auspicious start for the Eagles, as Wagner quarterback Alex Thomson broke out of the pocket for a 55-yard touchdown run to put the Seahawks up 7-0.
But BC answered by putting the ball on the ground. Jon Hilliman carried five straight times, including a 41-yard sprint off the left side, on BC's next drive. He would tie the game with a one-yard score.
The defense responded with a three-and-out, and quarterback Patrick Towles hit tight end Tommy Sweeney to put the ball inside the Wagner 20. From there. Towles would roll right, but cut back against the grain for a 17-yard touchdown run to give BC its first lead.
