Dylan Martins led the defense with five tackles, while Finegan and Logan Horne each recovered Chieftain fumbles.

The Panthers’ closest contest was in week two when they dropped a 25-24 heartbreaker to Rogers. Vasquez was sharp under center, going 10-for-16 with 169 yards and two touchdowns to go along with no picks.
