Emory & Henry University- L, 30-17

Once again, Cartwright started things off, this time scoring from an offload from Trinity Swann (Gastonia, N.C.). Tate and Jaden Gary (Charlotte, N.C.) also touched down for tires, but it Emory & Henry's offense won the day, coming away with the 30-17 win.

Newberry- L, 22-17
