The Huskies brought the game back within one in the 25th minute off a penalty kick, however, DePriest's record-breaker in the 47th minute put the game out of reach as the Blue Raiders locked in on the Huskies to hold them scoreless through 65 minutes of play to claim their second-straight victory, 3-1.
