Merchantmen bounce back, win second pre-season game
In a defensive struggle, the Merchantmen captured the Capital City's stadium by winning 16-10 in regulation. Neither offense made a strong impression, likewise the defenses received kudos for holding the opponent under 300 total yards.

Kelly Blalock completed 13 of 20 passes for a whopping 81 yards. The Maassluis kickholder completed 3 of 5 passes for 24 yards.

Raul Curie ran 17 times for 105 yards, outperforming Leonard Belin's 40 yards on 7 carries.

Rico Techen caught 5 balls for 33 yards, making him the shockingly unproductive leading receiver for the Merchantmen.

Key rookie investments Heath Oliver, Bart Guthrie and Nathan Hadinger were much less active than ordered by team management.

The Merchantmen defense disrupted 15 of 44 passing plays, a Merchantmen worthy figure.

The Merchantmen continue their pre-season activity at the Chesapeake Chitterlings and finish in Oranje Haven against the Outer Banks Ospreys. Key offensive starters Ellis McAlister, Jimmie Feffer, Theodore Bondy and Louie Murray will finally be in action in those two games.
