Camden Coleman passed for 171 yards and a score and Arrington Maiden completed 7 of 8 passes for 111 yards with two TDs. Scott's punt-return TDs covered 76 and 69 yards.
Halbert, who also had a TD reception, blocked a punt in the second minute of the game and returned it 9 yards for a touchdown. The FCS Seahawks (1-2) then got their lone points on Johnny DiSalvatore's field goal before the rout began in earnest.
The Dukes scored on 10 of 12 possessions, including nine touchdowns.
The game was moved up 3 1/2 hours because of the threat of inclement weather.
