River Forest, IL. It was a gloomy Saturday afternoon at Cougars Stadium as the 450 spectators watched the first place Benedictine Eagles (5-2) continue to roll as they defeated Concordia (2-5), 41 – 0.
Benedictine was in control from the start of the game as they took a quick 14-0 lead by the 11:46 mark of the first quarter; both Benedictine drives started after Concordia turnovers. The Eagles had a commanding 28 – 0 lead over the Cougars at half time.
The second half saw Concordia’s defense play a solid game, holding the surging Benedictine offense to 13 points, however the Eagles defense continued to suffocate the Cougars offense and held them completely off the board.
