The Bandits held the Nor'easter off on their first drive and took the a lead they would never relinquish after JT Harold ran 26 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. The Nor'easter cut the lead to 7-3 in the second quarter thanks to a good punt return when Rich Grasso converted a 34 yard field goal. The Bandits defense was on point all night and got the offense the ball back twice  in the second quarter thanks to a Terence Nolen fumble recovery and a Ty Brooks interception. The Bandits upped the lead to 10-3 thanks to a Jeff Similien 41 yard field goal before the half. The Bandits increased their lead after a long drive orchestrated by Shane Cheltenham which resulted in a short 22yard field goal. The Bandit defense harrassed the Nor'easter quarterback all night with a handful of sack between Jason Milton, Oden Lloyd and their blue & yellow teammates. The Nor'easter would cut the lead to 13-6 late in the fourth quarter and got a great bounce on their onside kick, setting up one last shot at the tie with less than a minute left. The Bandits ended the Nor'easter's last hope when Ty Brooks intercepted a pass in the endzone and took it back 101 yards for the score that said, "Night, night!" to the Nor'easter season.  The Bandits will play the defending Champion CT Bearcats in the finals on Nov. 5th.
