The Falcons opened the scoring on their second drive of the game.  Sergio Landeros connected on a 38-yard field goal but Western New Mexico was called for roughing the kicker.  The very next play Taylor Null connected with Kyle McBride on an 11-yard touchdown strike, jumping over the defender and gave the Falcons the 7-0 lead.  The drive was 64 yards in seven plays.  

Western New Mexico would answer with a touchdown of their own.  Blayne Armstrong connected with Evan Beebe from 14 yards out in the corner of the end zone to tie the score.  

The Falcons would turn it over on back to back possessions with a fumble. The Mustangs would get into field goal range for a 46-yard field goal attempt, but it would be blocked by Austin Price. 

The half would end with Tristen Thompson picking off Armstrong at the Falcon three-yard-line and stopping a late drive by the Mustangs.
