The Knight Hawks got on the board when Daquan Neal connected with Caleb Holley from eight yards out to make it a one score game.

Bay Area responded on the first play of the second quarter when Sneed threw a 15-yard scoring pass to JT Stokes make it 22-6.

The decisive stretch occurred in the second quarter after the Knight Hawks were stopped on 4th down with Marquise Bridges turning back Frank Brown at the Bay Area 1 yard line with 30 seconds left. Two plays later, Sneed hooked up with Nih Jackson from 39 yards out for a 42-18 lead at halftime.

The Panthers next play at Northern Arizona on Saturday while the Knight Hawks will be home to face Arizona.
