On the ensuing series, New Glarus quarterback Quinn Marty was hit and threw an interception giving Southwestern-East Dubuque another opportunity to score, but this time the New Glarus defense held. The WarCats eventually pinned the Glarner Knights at their own 1-yard line, setting up the drive that changed the feel of the game.
