Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Princeton to victory, but perhaps none more so than Brad Mossor, who picked up 166 receiving yards and one score, and also rushed for 36 yards and one touchdown. That's the most receiving yards Mossor has posted since back in October of 2024. Jake Belcher helped out on the ground, rushing for 85 yards.

Another reason for the win was Princeton's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for 3.5 sacks. Brady Cline was especially locked on to Capital's QB and sacked him twice.
