The second quarter continued to favor the home team as they outscored their opponents by six points, ending it with a score of 16-10.
The third quarter was less productive for both teams on offense; however, it was still dominated by the Aggies who managed nine points compared to ten by their rivals. In what would be a decisive fourth quarter, both teams scored twelve points each but it wasn't enough for UIC to close down on New Mexico State's earlier advantage.

As fans of New Mexico State look forward to future games, they can take pride in their team's solid defense which limited UIC to only forty-one total points and kept them under fifteen per quarter. This defensive display complemented an offense that managed fifty-one total points without relying heavily on any single period but rather maintaining steady output throughout.
