UW-Whitewater got the first break of the game, when defensive back Vic Wipperfurth picked off a Mike Jorris pass, returning the ball 32 yards to the Mount Union 42-yard line. UW-Whitewater converted the opportunity, ending the five-play 42-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown run by Justin Beaver, extending his school season record with his 24th touchdown, to give UW-Whitewater a 7-0 lead at 9:54. It took Mount Union just over three minutes to even the score, covering 80 yards in four plays, the biggest coming on a Jorris to Pierre Garcon 63-yard scoring toss at 6:32.

UW-Whitewater's offense moved the ball down the field on its next possession, but the drive ended when Mount Union picked off a Jacobs pass intended for Jim Leszczynski near the five yard line. The Purple Raiders turned that miscue into seven points, with Kmic going in from two yards out to increase the margin to 28-7. UW-Whitewater came back at 12:22 on a Jacobs to Leszczynski 23-yard touchdown to cut the margin to 28-14.
