“Us giving up turnovers in the first six or seven minutes and letting them get a double-digit lead hurt us," Jersey head coach Kevin Strebel said.

The Eagles led the Panthers 20-8 after the first quarter. CM then pushed the lead to 29-15 going into the half. After halftime, the Eagles jumped out to a 40-24 lead. In the fourth quarter, CM outscored Jersey 16 to 5 to close the game.
