The Tampa Bay Storm (0-2, 0-1) were defeated by the Cleveland Gladiators (1-1, 0-0) by a score of 41-29 on Saturday night in front of 11,892 fans at Quicken Loans Arena. The night was a back-and-forth match, with Cleveland earning its first win of the season on a game-winning interception by Gladiators defensive back Joe Powell with 18.4 seconds left and the Storm on the Cleveland 4-yard line.

He’d also rush twice for 14 yards and a touchdown. Bane finished the game, completing 7-of-17 passes for 61 yards and two touchdowns.

The Gladiators were led by quarterback Dennis Havrilla who made the start for an injured Chris Dieker. Havrilla completed 23-of-34 passes for 219 yards and five touchdowns.
