Calvert's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Tristan Thomas led the charge by picking up 140 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Those three receiving touchdowns gave Thomas a new career-high. Calvert also got a significant boost from Andrew Douglas, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 107 yards.
Calvert didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Northern to a completion percentage of just 46.7%.
