The Sting would answer right back, on their opening drive, when Tommy Jones found Jeff Austin in the end zone, the extra point was no good and the game was tied at 6.
In the second Tommy Jones found Jeff Austin wide open once again, this time the Sting went for two. Jones found Andrew Beaver wide open and Saginaw had a 14-6 lead. With time running out in the first half Tommy Jones saw Keath Bartynski in the end zone, Daniel Evans made the extra point and it was 21-6 at the half.
On the kick off to start the second half C.J. Tarver was stopped in the end zone and Dayton was awarded 1 point. Saginaw still retained the ball at the 5 and drove down field.
