The Charger football team fell to #10 Dordt 55-7 on Memorial Field on senior day. After a scoreless first quarter, the Defenders scored three touchdowns in the second quarter to grab momentum before half time.
Â
The Chargers moved the ball efficiently on the opening drive, as
Luke Davies completed his first four passing attempts, including a 47-yard hookup to
Kymani Fleurme. The drive would stall out in Defender territory, and Jacob Schroder's field goal attempt fell short.
Â
BCU forced a stop on the ensuing drive, but were unable to sustain their next offensive possession and were forced to punt it away.
Â
The Defenders first score of the contest came on a long 13-play 78 yard drive that burned little over six minutes on the game clock.
Â
Late in the fourth,
Judd Roberts checked in at quarter back and went six-for-seven for 75 yards and threw his first touchdown in the Blue and Gold, a 10-yard strike to Fleurme.
Â
Fleurme hauled in nine catches for 122 yards in the contest. Inside backers
Brayden Pommier-Williams and
Brett Tinker both recorded seven tackles with six solos a piece.
Max Rascon Jr. recorded an interception in the contest.
Â
The Chargers move to 2-7 (2-6 GPAC) and will travel to Mitchell, South Dakota to take on the Tiger of Dakota Wesleyan. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m.
