            For the third week in a row the Dragons took to the road for their next football contest.

The Dragons started their drive from the nine yard line after the turn over. Rodney Willingham moved the ball to the 17 yard line on his rushing carry. Marcus Reynolds gained 11-yards on a quarterback-keeper to move the ball to the 28 yard line. Reynolds then connected with Ahmad Isaac for four yards moving the ball to the 32 yard line. The Dragons scored on the next play as Marcus Reynolds' sprinted 68-yards for the touchdown. Raul Martinez added the extra point to put the Dragons up 7-6 with 5:57 to play in the first half.
