With the loss, the Devils dropped to 3-2 (0-2 MAC) while the Aggies improved to 4-1 (2-0 MAC).

After an FDU drive stalled on the first possession of the game, Delaware Valley got the ball and went 76 yards in eight plays capped by a one-yard touchdown run by senior running back Matt Cook (Selinsgrove, PA/Selinsgrove) to take a 7-0 lead with 9:59 left in the first quarter.  The Aggies made it 14-0 on their next series after Hatty hit junior wide receiver Rod Blango (Philadelphia, PA/West Catholic) for a 17-yard touchdown with 4:03 left in the quarter.  On the first possession of the second quarter, the Aggies went 80 yards in 13 plays to take a 21-0 lead on another one-yard touchdown run by Cook.  After an FDU punt from senior running back Brendon Griffin (Riverside, NJ/Riverside) pinned Del Val on their own four yard line, the Aggies responded with a 96-yard drive that took eight plays and was finished off by a 29-yard touchdown run from junior running back Tyler Neal (Hershey, PA/Hershey) to make it 28-0 with 4:00 left in the first half. 

Senior defensive back Matt Porricelli (Howell, NJ/Freehold Twp.) intercepted Hatty at the FDU 21 yard line with 1:10 left in the first half, and the Devils started to put together a drive but senior quarterback Matt Jeffers (Burlington, NJ/Burlington Twp.) was picked off at the Del Val 29 by junior defensive back Ryan McCullough (Cherry Hill, NJ/Northeast Catholic), who returned it back to the FDU 36 yard line with 0:29 to go in the half.  Hatty then added another score for the Aggies before the break, connecting with junior wide receiver Isaiah Hall (Long Branch, NJ/Long Branch) for a 24-yard touchdown to make it 35-0 heading into the locker rooms.

On their second possession of the second half, Delaware Valley made it 41-0 as Hatty hit senior wide receiver Joe Gionfriddo (Philadelphia, PA/Neumann-Goretti) for a 32-yard score.  After the Devils went three-and-out, the Aggies drove 68 yards in five plays to grab a 48-0 advantage on a 26-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Cory Almasy (Stratford, NJ/Sterling) to freshman wide receiver Lewis Vincent (Bensalem, PA/Bensalem) with 3:42 left in the third quarter.  The Devils got on the board on the first series of the fourth quarter, when they went 81 yards in 13 plays capped by an 18-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Ryan Cushman (Monroe, NJ/Monroe Twp.) to sophomore wide receiver Joe Tauriello (Bloomfield, NJ/St. Mary's).  The Aggies got that score right back though, when Almasy and Vincent hooked up for a 46-yard touchdown pass to put Delaware Valley up by a score of 55-7 with 8:39 to go.  FDU got one more score when freshman quarterback Mike Santos (North Arlington, NJ/St. Mary's) hit sophomore tight end Dan Hamilton (Vernon, NJ/Vernon) for a four-yard score with 1:40 left on the clock.

Cushman finished the game 5-of-7 for 90 yards and a score while senior tight end Beau Reed (Ocean, NJ/Rumson) had four catches for 62 yards.  Defensively, Porricelli and junior linebacker Ryan Daly (Tinton Falls, NJ/Monmouth Regional) led the way with nine tackles apiece.
