Playing in front of a packed homecoming house, the Trojans rode the 146 yard performance of senior running back Jeff Gouveia, who also scored all three Trojan touchdowns. Carlo Lavoie made his presence felt, running for 117 yards from the quarterback position and snatching a key interception in the fourth quarter on defense.

Running back Chris Young added 100 yards rushing.
