Mission Bay extended their winning streak to five on Friday, bumping them up to 5-0. They blew past the Coronado Islanders, posting a 49-14 victory. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Buccaneers also won the last time the pair played back in October of 2023.
Trey Arnold was his usual excellent self, throwing for 421 yards and six touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Mission Bay didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Coronado to a completion percentage of just 48.8%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from two players: Mateo Urias and Kai Barrios, who each logged one passes deflected. Given Arnold's standout performance, it's clear Coronado's secondary just wasn't on the same level.
Mission Bay didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off four passes before the game was over. Mason Morgan led the group effort, picking up two of those interceptions all by himself.
