The night featured a construction theme, created by the Student Athletic Council, anchored by the tagline and hashtag, #CautionBuildingChampions. That night, the student section, dressed in reflective vests and hard hats, cheered on both teams under the stadium lights boosted by the Varsity Cheer Team.
