The Huskies racked up 329 yards rushing to pave the way to the victory. Sophomore running back Arrastene Henry had 138 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns. Running backs Steve Eichert and Marques Glaze and quarterback Eric Miller also ran in scores for Bloomsburg.

Miller threw for 140 yards on 9-for-14 passing. He tossed touchdown strikes to Mike Lelko (five yards) and Matt Wilson (19 and 55 yards).

Lelko's touchdown catch got the Huskies on the board with10:33 to go in the first quarter. On the first play of Mansfield's ensuing drive, Tom Denison's pass was intercepted by Matt Baumgardner who returned to the Mansfield 1. Glaze took the ball in the end zone a play later.

Bloomsburg poured it on from there, outscoring Mansfield 40-7 over the second and third quarters.

A short Mansfield punt gave the Huskies the ball at the Mansfield 37. Eichert had 32 total yards on the drive before Miller took the ball in from the one.

On Bloomsburg's next drive, Henry did most of the damage, 49 yards on three carries, before Eichert scored from six yards out.
