JoJay Jackson slammed home an alley-oop from Jared Moultrie on the opening possession of the second half.  Will added two quick buckets and a free-throw to give the Falcons a 58-45 advantage with 15:25 to play.

UAF hung around behind Colin Matteson and Kevin Campbell who tipped home a miss to bring the Nanooks within nine at 69-60.
