Newark waltzed into their matchup on Friday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They came within a single point of losing the streak, but they secured a 17-16 W against the Lancaster Golden Gales. That's more bragging rights for the Wildcats, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.

The critical scores for Newark came from Brody Driskel and Kolton Peterson.

Newark didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Lancaster to a completion percentage of just 50%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from two players: Kai Comedy and Alex Irvin, who each logged one passes deflected. Newark wasn't nearly as limited: they posted one of 59.1%.

When it comes to explaining why Lancaster lost, don't look at Jahmeir Gordon. Despite the final result, he rushed for 101 yards and one score, and also picked up 35 receiving yards.
