Chason Virgil's 9-yard TD pass to Nih-Jer Jackson pulled Southeastern Louisiana (3-5, 3-3) within 10 going into the fourth quarter, but James scored on a 2-yard run early in the fourth and McCrary added a 51-yard TD run before Anthony's 14-yard pass to Justice capped the scoring with 6:16 remaining.
