HOW IT WENT DOWN
The Knight Hawks got on the board first with Jerod Evans connecting to Dez Epps for the touchdown. Kaleb Baker and the Wranglers marched down the field for a two-yard run by Baker. The Wranglers started to gain momentum as they scored 27 unanswered points in the first half and Israel Tucker punched one in for the touchdown. On the following drive Mercardo Anderson came up with a fumble recovery touchdown. Baker later connected with Quentin Randolph for the touchdown. Just before the half, Elad Covaliu helped the Knight Hawks cut the lead to two scores with a kickoff return for a touchdown, which was the first in franchise history. In the second half it was the team's miscues that ultimately helped the Wranglers extend their lead. Baker connected with Glen Gibbons Jr. for the touchdown and ran another one in for a touchdown on the following drive. Evans would try to start a comeback with a five-yard run for a touchdown, but in the end there was not enough time to comeback.
