| San Diego Mission | 21-55 | New Jersey Knights |
Knights score record 55 in win over Mission
PISCATAWAY, NJ - Prior to the game, CBS was billing the New Jersey Knights' game against the San Diego Mission as a battle of the NARC's best offense (New Jersey) versus its best defense (San Diego). Somebody forgot to tell the Mission to bring their defense across the country, as it was non-existant on Saturday. New Jersey set a new record for points scored by a team in a game as they defeated San Diego (5-3) 55-21.
New Jersey (6-2) not only set a record for most points with 55, but they also became the first team to score eight tries in a game. Four Knights players had two tries apiece, including left wing
Larry McGillicuddy, right wing Noah Kidston, inside center Henry Grant, and outside center Mohammad Pratt.
Charles Munn also set a record by kicking six conversions (out of eight attempts), a record that would be matched in another NARC game later in the afternoon (more on that later).
The crowd of 19,435 - a new season high for the Knights - certainly enjoyed the game. CBS announcers were confused late in the second half when the crowd started chanting what sounded like "Boo!" Instead, they were chanting "Leeu!", in homage to Knights head coach Graham Van Leeuwenhoek of South Africa.
"I'm glad the fans enjoyed themselves," Leeuwenhoek said. "The players certainly did their part in making them happy. If the offense continues to play like that, we will go far this year."
It is interesting to note that the halftime score was a mere 12-7 in favor of New Jersey.

Legends no more? Chicago continues to sink with loss
COLLEGE PARK, MD - What happened to the Chicago Legends? They continued to sink without a trace in College Park as the host Capital City Dragons won their second straight game with a 26-14 win. Dragons fly half James Drake scored two tries in the win.
Capital City (2-6) has now won two straight games since reports surfaced before Week 7 that head coach Gus Gardener would be fired if the team did not win. Meanwhile, Chicago (3-5) has lost four of their last five games.

| Texas Harlequins | 5-42 | Edmonton Mashers |
Mashers mash the Harlequins
EDMONTON, AB - Edmonton's two centers - #13 Mark James and #14 Koby Brodzky - both had two tries apiece as the Mashers beat the visiting Texas Harlequins (2-6) 42-5 in a dominating game at Commonwealth Stadium. But the player of the game may have been Edmonton fly half
Jace Hunter, who had a big kicking day. He kicked six conversions, joining New Jersey's
Charles Munn - who did the same thing earlier in the day - as the only men in the NARC's short history to do so. Hunter was a perfect 6-for-6 in conversions, and he nearly missed his only penalty attempt, with the ball sailing mere inches to the left of the uprights in the 17th minute.
It was certainly a dominating win for Edmonton (6-2), as Texas' offense was completely shut down. Their only points of the
game did not come until the 78th minute.
Edmonton has now won four of their last five games.

Sharks win as Stormers lose third straight
PALO ALTO, CA - It seems nothing good has happened for the Golden Gate Stormers since they became the first team to beat the New Jersey Knights. Los Angeles right wing Pete Sullivan scored two tries as the Sharks (4-4) went into Northern California and beat the Stormers 35-15. Golden Gate (2-6) never led in the game, and the team has now lost three straight games, all of them after beating New Jersey.
