LATROBE, Pa. -- Mount Union's Josh Stephens (North Canton/Green) scored with 29 seconds left to rally the Purple Raiders to a 12-11 victory at St. Vincent Saturday in Latrobe, Pa.

Stephens capped a furious rally as Mount Union (1-1) trailed 11-8 with eight minutes left in the game.

Hogan Harris (Medina/Medina) started the rally with his team-best third goal of the game off an assist from Stephens at the 7:25 mark.

Jack Wesner (Medina/Medina) tied the game off a feed from Michael Taylor (Broadview Heights/Brecksville-Broadview Hts.) with just 1:40 left in regulation.
