LOS ANGELES – LMU and Air Force proved to be good matchups for one another as the two teams played a pair of games on Saturday that both need extra time to determine a winner.

Then LMU responded in the second game of the day, winning 18-17 after regulation ended with the game tied at 15-all.

Neither team scored for the next three-plus minutes before Jack Baumgardner tied the game with less than a minute to go for his second goal of the quarter.
