GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - The Mavericks finished out their home schedule with a narrow win over the Western State Mountaineers, but it was no easy task.

A few more errors from the Mountaineers led to another Mavs touchdown, but by halftime, Western State led the game 16-14.

After a successful field goal from the visiting team, it was do or die for the Mavs, and luckily they made things happen. They brought in a touchdown and held off the Mountaineers, taking the 22-19 victory.
