The Bowling Green Falcons finally got their first win of the season, narrowly avoiding a disastrous 0-4 start to the season, with a 38-34, come from behind victory.

Nakai Amachree scampered home from 2 yards out with a little over one minute remaining to cap off a furious 10 point comeback and the Falcons defense held the Minuteman to no yards on their final drive to clinch the victory.

Things started out looking easy for the Falcons, jumping out to a 14-3 first quarter lead, but a bad interception, a big kick return and a few deep passes were all it took for UMass to take control early in the 4th quarter. Thankfully, the BG offense snapped out of their early season malaise, rushing for over 200 yards and taking control late.

In more sour news, the Falcons did suffer two injuries in this one. Starting C Julian Henderson suffered a torn labrum and will miss about a month, and back up SS D'Kyah Banks suffered a dislocated ankle and will possibly miss the rest of the season.

For Umass, they fall to 2-4, while Bowling Green gets a key non-conference win just prior to starting their MAC campaign next Thursday.
