An all-FOFC matchup in the 2nd round, and a matchup between the best offense in the nation and the best defense in the nation. In the past, opponents have tried to play a fast paced offense to try and take the Bucs out of their game. Hartford was sure to try the same. Because of this, Charleston Southern put together their highest point total in any single game since this dynasty began. However, Hartford managed to score 61 points... in the 1st half. The best offense clearly won out here, as the Hawks shot a stunning .712 from the field and beat the Bucs in almost every facet of the game.

Hartford 107, Charleston Southern 79
