Kehler carried 22 times for 103 yards and completed 8 of 17 passes for 98 yards, including a 6-yd. toss to Peter Caravella that capped a 60-yd. first-quarter drive and gave the Elis a 6-0 lead.
Ed Perks hit a 27-yd. field goal at 4:36 of the second quarter, before Kehler scored on a 1-yd. run in the third period, then passed 18 yards to Drew Brown later in the same quarter, closing out the scoring.
