Playoff-sized revenge!

A swarming Eagle defense was the difference in this rematch!

Revenge is a dish best served cold...and in the playoffs!  The GW Eagles avenged their only regular-season loss with a standout defensive performance.  They bottled up an Amherst County offense that lit them up for 582 yards two months ago, winning their playoff opener 43-18!

The Eagles wasted little time getting on the scoreboard.  A familiar pitch-and-catch combo hooked up on the Eagles' second possession.  The Lancers quickly tied the score, but this would be no shootout.  The Eagles answered on their very next possession.  Then quarterback Carlos Poole used his legs to put the Eagles up 21-6 at the break.

In the second half, the Eagles took advantage of a special teams miscue to stretch their lead.  Then, two touchdowns from Curtis Waller put the game out of reach!
