The teams would trade punts across the next four drives, with the defenses settling in while Navy made the switch to Tai Lavatai at quarterback to begin its fifth drive of the game with 5:21 to play in the half. Lavatai was able to pick up three first downs on the drive, moving the ball into Army territory before the Black Knights got a stop on fourth and short with Jackson Powell stuffing Lavatai just inches short of the line to gain.
Receiving the ball back with 1:05 remaining from its 36-yard line, the Black Knights were able to move into field goal range in the final seconds as Daily hit Tobi Olawole and Reynolds through the air to set up a 47-yard field goal attempt. Quinn Maretzki made good on the kick, knocking in his third 45+ yard field goal of the season to put Army ahead 10-0 heading into halftime. It marked the fourth time in the last eight Army-Navy games that the Black Knights held the Mids scoreless through the opening half.
