WISE - - Visiting Notre Dame College outscored UVa-Wise 27-7 in the second quarter en route to a 41-10 win at Carl Smith Stadium on Saturday. The victory was the fifth consecutive on the road for the Falcons who accumulated 497 yards of total offense.

Less than two minutes later the guests capitalized on a poor punt to score its second touchdown of the day. Kenneth Butler finished off the 19-yard scoring drive with a two-yard touchdown scamper. The point after was no good leaving the score 13-0 in favor of Notre Dame.

UVa-Wise (0-5, 0-4 MEC) would claw its way back in the game mid-way through the second period on a 10-yard touchdown run by Von Purvis. Trent Martin added the extra point to cut the deficit to six.
