Lee carried the ball 19 times, including a 39-yard scoring romp in the fourth quarter that sealed the victory for the maroon team. Redshirt freshman Nathan Funk (5-11, 193, Vancouver, Canada) gained 51 yards on the ground for the maroon squad, while sophomore quarterback Tim Hasselbeck (6-2, 211, Norfolk, MA) completed 7 of 16 passes for 53 yards.

Junior placekicker John Matich (6-2, 203, San Diego, CA) connected on two of three field goal attempts, including a long of 40.
At halftime of the game, head coach Tom O'Brien announced that junior defensive back Pedro Cirino (5-11, 191, Jersey City, NJ) has been named this year's winner of the Jay McGillis scholarship, awarded annually to a defensive back who best exemplifies the personal qualities of McGillis, a BC defensive back who died from leukemia on July 3, 1992. BC's spring game is named in honor of McGillis.
