SAN JOSE--Felix Harper scored on a 4-yard run with 13 seconds left in the fourth quarter and the Panthers held on for a 53-50 win over the San Diego Strike Force to remain undefeated.

Nate Davis connected with Elijah Lilly on a 7-yard scoring pass with 4:51 to give San Diego its first lead at 50-47 to overcome a 15-point deficit.

The Panthers (4-0) scored two defensive touchdowns in the first quarter: Antwon Kincade recovered a fumble in the end zone on San Diego's first play from scrimmage and Joe Foucha returned a Rudy Johnson pass 10 yards for a score.
