The second half proved to be the deciding factor. RCC racked up 21 points in an exciting comeback while holding the Hornets scoreless. With four straight Eastern Conference losses, Citrus then invaded Wheelock Field, but the Owls managed to make it an exciting game the first half before succumbing to the Tigers 21-0.
