After a close first half, the Stampeders took after the break.

The second quarter saw the teams battle it out on the gridiron with neither defence yielding any points.
In the third quarter Langley took the ball over on the Titans’ 51-yard line. Six plays later, Nathan Murray reached the end zone for a touchdown.
The Stampeders defence then got the ball back for the offence on the Titans’ 36.
The offence responded with quick toss to Devin Dacosta for the second Langley touchdown. The point after attempt was blocked by White Rock.
Near the end of the quarter Kyle Clarot intercepted a Titan pass, giving the Stamps a shot from the Titan 47-yard marker.
Riley Carter hauled in a 17-yard pass for Langley’s third major of the quarter.
There was no scoring in the fourth quarter as Langley cruised to victory.
