Recap
It took the Rollers longer than most, and it was against the league’s lowest-scoring offense, but Grand Rapids finally got some defensive energy in a 27-17 victory over Kailua.
The Rollers shutout the Wyverns in the second half, trailing at halftime 17-10. Grand Rapids was giving up just under 40 points per game prior to kickoff.
Third downs and good cornerback play have hindered the Rollers up to Sunday but Grand Rapids received both in this game. Cornerback Rod Malone got his first pick in this game – it saved a touchdown – while the Rollers converted 10 of 18 third down attempts and held the Wyverns to 42%.
The Wyverns offense fell apart in the second half after a first half of fireworks. Quarterback Ohno Matsumoto was sacked five more times, bringing the sack total to 30 in five games. He threw two more picks as well. Running back Park HeeChul did all he could, totalling 214 yards of offense and two scores, including a 72-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage.
Player of the Game, wide receiver Bobby Vesacaro had 99 yards and a score, leading Grand Rapids to their second straight victory. The Rollers took their first lead towards the end of the 3rd and never looked back.
Kailua (1-4) tries to keep their playoff hopes alive against Orlando next week while Grand Rapids looks for revenge against the New York Knights (both 2-2).
