He finished the day 17-of-19 for 238 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. Mizro threw two touchdowns passes of 48 yards and one from 2 yards. Coast Guard came into the game with the top passing defense (143.8 yds/g) and the top scoring defense (12.5 ppg) in the Liberty League.
The second-year starter leads the conference in passing efficiency rating (145.3). He has completed 69-of-114 passes (60.5 percent) for 845 yards and nine touchdowns this season. For his career, Mizro ranks among the top five in completions (4th, 227), passing yards (4th, 3,109), and passing touchdowns (2nd, 39).
