The Stallions battled back with a third-quarter field goal, then scored the game’s only touchdown with 26 seconds left. A successful one-point conversion put them ahead for good.
Luis Perez threw for 208 yards on 26-of-38 passing. Cannella led with 52 receiving yards, while Harris posted nine tackles.
