Gabe Whitmore made an interception in the endzone to stop Judson's opening drive in the third quarter.  Brandon Stewart eventually capped a 12-play, 80-yard drive with a 10-yard touchdown marking his third score of the day.  CUAA held a 42-0 lead after the third quarter. 

Judson was able to break the shutout in the fourth quarter, but the Cardinal defense denied a 2-point conversion attempt.  Caiden Thomas tacked on a 39-yard field goal and CUAA secured a 45-6 victory as time expired.  

CUAA will have a bye week next Saturday.  The Cardinals will return home for Homecoming on Saturday, October 19th, to host Madonna University at 1pm on Ferry Field at Cardinal Stadium.
