MONMOUTH, Ore. --- After rallying from 14-0 down to take a 29-17 lead at the half Saturday afternoon, the Western Oregon football team saw it's lead vanish with 68 seconds left as it fell to Eastern New Mexico 30-29 at Greyhound Stadium in its Lone Star Conference opener.

WOU (1-2, 0-1) racked up 330 yards (308 on the ground) in the first half as it rallied from a 14-0 first-quarter deficit by scoring four touchdowns - an Austin Bacher 56-yard run, a Bacher 1-yard run, a Dominique Loggins 79-yard run and a Bacher 64-yard run - in a 15-minute span to take a 29-17 lead at the half (ENMU - now 3-0 on the season and 1-0 in LSC play - kicked a field goal midway through the second quarter).

The Wolves couldn't find that offensive rhythm in the second half as it punted four times and turned it over on downs twice in its six second-half possessions.
