Devin Hurtado made a difference for the Lancers. The sophomore ran for one touchdown. His performance brought his touchdown total to one on the year.
St. Francis' lone touchdown came on a 1-yard run by Hurtado in the first quarter.
SI entered the contest giving up 22.0 points per game this year. The San Francisco school held firm on the defensive front, and kept SF well below the 22.6 points it had been averaging per game.
