The Crimson Hawks led only 14–7 entering the fourth quarter, then scored three touchdowns by the 11:28 mark. Seton Hill’s only score came on a first-quarter punt return. Mayberry assessment: the final margin reflects a sustained advantage in offensive production, but the separation arrived suddenly. IUP completed a long touchdown drive to start the fourth quarter, then turned two Seton Hill fumbles into two more touchdowns. A one-score contest became a four-touchdown gap in less than four minutes of the period.

IUP responded with two second-quarter touchdown drives: Mason Maggs found Connor Shamany for a 19-yard score at 13:10 and Gavin Harrold for a 23-yard score with 40 seconds left before halftime. Neither team scored in the third quarter. IUP carried an 84-yard drive into the fourth, and Landyn Moore finished it with an 11-yard touchdown run at 14:56\. The extra point extended the lead to 21–7. On Seton Hill’s next possession, Jayden Shaffer forced a fumble and Noah Johnston recovered, returning the ball to the Griffins’ 14\. Three plays later, Maggs threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Moore. A second Seton Hill fumble, forced by Devon Bertrand and recovered by Quadir Jacobs, gave IUP another short field. Maggs hit Shamany for a 32-yard touchdown at 11:28, making it 35–7.

Shamany supplied two of those scoring catches, at 19 and 32 yards, while Moore scored once rushing and once receiving during the fourth-quarter surge. Harrold’s touchdown just before halftime supplied the lead IUP carried through a scoreless third quarter. Whitehead gave Seton Hill its early advantage on special teams and also intercepted Maggs in the second quarter. Those plays kept the Griffins competitive, but their offense did not add a touchdown.

Those are the records reported for this event, rather than current standings. No championship or playoff projection is inferred from this single result. [Official source](https://iupathletics.com/sports/football/stats/2026/seton-hill/boxscore/14992?ref=mayberrysports.com) ## What the result shows IUP’s offense had to work for its first three scoring drives, which covered 75, 79 and 84 yards. The final two touchdown possessions required only 14 and 45 yards after takeaways. That combination explains the shape of the win: long drives built the advantage, and immediate conversion of turnovers made the result decisive.
