Gallo’s game-changing interception set up the go-ahead score in the second half of an eventual 31-21 win that guaranteed UAlbany a share of its fifth Northeast Conference crown and the league’s automatic bid into the NCAA FCS playoffs. The senior defensive tackle added five stops and two pass break-ups to go along with his pivotal pick. With the game tied at 14 apiece early in the second half, Gallo pulled in a pass intended for SHU running back Sean Bell to give the Danes a first down at the Pioneers’ 23-yard line. The Danes went onto score a touchdown and led the rest of the way. Earlier in the day, Gallo deflected a 3rd-and-7 pass intended for SHU tight end Rich Rossi with SHU at UA 43-yard line early in the second quarter of a 7-7 game. With the Danes holding a 31-21 lead midway through the fourth quarter, Gallo stuffed SHU quarterback Tim Little for no gain on a 3rd-and-1 play. On the very next defensive series, he broke up a first-down pass attempt that was intended for receiver Rock Tate.
