MSU leveled the score just after halftime as Parker Plaxco headed home a ball from Oscar Nunez, who had flicked on a direct kick from Juan David Valencia Vacca.
Plaxco came up with the game-winner in the 55th minute when he knocked in a rebound of a Liam Kervick's shot that hit the crossbar.
Jordan Jones took a shot on goal after the ensuing kickoff, but Jake Morris made the save.
