Richie Ilarraza hit Kasey Hawthorne with a 24-yard touchdown late in the second quarter and Eden James broke for a 16-yard run to the end zone with 3:04 left in the third.
Snipes raced 53 yards for the go-ahead score with 14 seconds left in the third quarter and added a 5-yard run for a score with under nine minutes left.
