The women finished in 28th place overall, but got strong performances from all runners. Sophomore Sue Shorrock (N. Smithfield, RI) was WPI's top finisher in 130th place overall. She was followed by classmate Vicky Dulac (Manchester, NH) in 167th, juniors Janel Lanphere (Westerly, RI) and Lydia Love (Nashville, TN) in 186th and 197th respectively and sophomores Melanie Heck (W. Buxton, ME) and Jen Wright (Keene, NH) in 207th and 208th places.
On the men's side they placed 21st in their field of teams. Senior Tim Caldwell (Dover-Foxcroft, ME) ran a strong race and finished 66th overall to lead WPI. Behind him were freshman Brian Kennedy (Ballston Lake, NY) in 122nd, sophomore Don Wallace (Brunswick, ME) in 134th, senior Tyler Lupien (Waldoboro, ME) in 143rd, junior Mike Gagne (Colchester, VT) in 162nd and freshmen Peter Connolly (Bellingham, MA) and Matt Linnemann (Middletown, CT) finished 177th and 183rd respectively.
WPI started with the ball, and on the first play from scrimmage, Mike Godfrey (Holliston, MA) ran off left tackle for 71 yards and an apparent score. Unfortunately it was called back by a penalty, but WPI had the ball inside Coast Guard territory. On the next play, the Bears intercepted a Rich Boardman (Merrimack, NH) pass to give Coast Guard the ball. It would be the beginning of 28 unanswred points by the visitors as Coast Guard would score four times in the opening quarter. WPI opened the second quarter with a Godfrey touchdown run of 14 yards. Midway through the quarter WPI freshman Matt Munzing (Danvers, MA) picked off a pass to give WPI the ball back. On the first play of the drive, receiver Josh Hines (Mansfield, MA) made a great play to make a reception for a 30-yard gain. From there, Godfrey and Mark Balcius (Millbury, MA) carried the ball to the Coast Guard 1-yard line before Godfrey plunged in to make the score 28-14. That would be the score at the half as Munzing intercepted another pass right at the end of the second quarter to stop a Bear drive deep inside WPI territory.
In the third quarter the defense came up with a big stop to force a punt, but WPI gave the ball back when they fumbled on their first play. Coast Guard would then drive in for the score to increase the lead back to 21 points. WPI battlled the rest of the way, but wasn't able to get any closer.
Godfrey finished the game with 123 yards rushing and was named to the Freedom Football Conference weekly honor roll as was defensive lineman Matt Barrows (Glen Falls, NY) who had 16 tackles.
