Valparaiso (2-3, 1-1) took a 26-21 lead with Ryan Clarke's 15-yard pass to Frank Catrine on the first play of the fourth quarter.
The Eagles led 14-7 after two scoring runs in the first quarter, but Valparaiso got a Clarke touchdown pass to Jean Rene and two field goals to lead 20-14. Gahafer threw a 52-yard pass to Darius Pritchett to put the Eagles back in front.
