Big Game from Munson As Pomona Won 49-28

Munson rushed for 141 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 87 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes. Pomona is undefeated when Munson posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
Pomona's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-3. Munson's next matchup is against Windsor on Saturday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
