Running back Riley Kaalberg needed only four carries to rack up 72 yards and find the end zone three times, while fellow senior Juan Chairez and Tyson Kaalberg also each had rushing touchdowns and sophomore Lamar Ceant caught a TD pass.

Riley Kaalberg also returned a punt for a score, while senior Keaton Clark picked up three tackles for loss for a Columbus defense that had 15 total stops behind the line of scrimmage.
