The Bobcats drove to the Cardinal 8-yard line, converting one fourth-and-one opportunity, but a pair of penalties prevented them from getting any closer. Wesleyan added a field goal to take a 10-6 lead into the locker room, and a one-yard TD run was called back for holding on the Cardinals. On their second possession of the second half, the Bobcats drove 76 yards in just over four minutes. Then Bazirgan and wideout Jason Coulie `00 caught Wesleyan napping as they connected for a 24-yard touchdown, the Bobcats' first TD strike of the season.

Starting at their own 28, Bazirgan found Coulie for 32 yards and Paul Fantasia `00 for 19, to bring Bates to the Cardinal 21. The next four plays were three incompletions and a sack, ending the Bobcats' come-back hopes. Bazirgan finished 13-27 passing for 187 yards and a touchdown and rushed the ball 15 times for 84 yards.
