After a score by Hampton early in the second quarter, Maine would put by 21 unanswered points to close out the game, those coming on a six-yard reception by Marshall, a five-yard reception for Eli Mahan for his first score of the season and a 10-yard reception by Scott Woods for his fifth total touchdown of the season.

PEEVY IS IN THE ZONE
