The Rainbow Warriors opened up a 14-0 lead after the first quarter on a pair of Schroeder touchdown passes. First he connected with Harding from 26 yards out less than four minutes into the game, then four minutes later he found Marcus Langkilde for a one-yard strike.

Army cut its deficit in half early in the second quarter when Angel Santiago rushed in a six-yard score, capping off a 13-play, 80-yard drive.

Hawaii added two more touchdowns before the half was out, a 10-yard scroing strike from Schroder to Vasquez Haynes and a one-yard touchdown pass from Iosega to Harold Moleni, as it went into the break with a 28-7 advantage.

The Black Knights quickly got themselves back in the game early in the third quarter by scoring two touchdowns less than a minute apart. After Schurr rushed in a two-yard touchdown at the 11:38 mark, Army recovered an outside kick. After a 34-yard run by Shurr set the team up at the 2-yard line, he plunged in for another score to bring Army's deficit to just seven, 28-21.

Shurr rushed for his third touchdown of the quarter at the 6:17 mark, this time from one-yard away, as Army tied the score at 28.

Hawaii halted the Black Knights' run on its next possession, as it drove 80 yards in less than two minutes, with Iosefa running in an eight-yard score to put it back ahead, 35-28.

After forcing Army to go three-and-out, the Rainbow Warriors struck with another touchdown later in the third quarter when Lakalaka rushed in from one yard out to put them back up by two touchdowns.

Army refused to roll over, however, as it cut its deficit to seven, 42-35, early in the fourth quarter on an 11-yard touchdown rush by Matt Giachinta. Hawaii answered back on its next possession, as Schroeder rushed in a six-yard score.

The Black Knights got another rushing touchdown from Schurr (two yards) with 2:30 to play to make the score 49-42. The Rainbow Warriors were able to run most of the clock off before giving the ball back to Army with just 24 seconds left on its own 5-yard line as its comeback attempt fell short.
