Notre Dame got the ball back after a Falcon punt. Quintano connected with Jayden Becker for a 20-yard pass completion and score. The point after was good. The score then 31-0 Crusaders.
Notre Dame took over on downs with 4:14 to go in the half, and ended the ND possession with a field goal attempt that was no good. There was an immediate fumble recovery by Dainn Vassallo on the Salisbury 38 yard line with 2:10 to go in the half. ND ended the half with a missed field goal, but the Crusaders still led 31-0.
