- Fullback Duncan Matthews scored his second try of the season while Lock Rhyno Herbst scored his first

- Seawolf #21 Tim Metcher earned his 50th cap for the Seawolves, becoming the first player to reach the appearance milestone for the Club and only second player in MLR to do so

- Tough conditions and a lack of momentum simmered the Seawolves attack, while Austin was able to capitalize on counter attack and turnover opportunities

- The Seawolves move to a 3-1 record, but collect a critical bonus point with Herbst's end of the match score that narrowed the score line within 7
