Exeter's game last Friday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Friday. In a tight contest that could have gone either way, they made off with a 7-6 win over the Sierra Pacific Golden Bears. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Monarchs also won the last time the pair played back in October of 2024.

Exeter didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Joseph Ruiz, Robertson, and Tristen Contreras picked up one apiece. Ruiz is also crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least five every time he's taken the field this season.

Exeter is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 3-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 14.5 points on average over those games. As for Sierra Pacific, their loss dropped their record down to 3-3.
