Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Gunderson). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Del Mar Dons 38-10. For the Grizzlies, this counts as revenge for the 39-25 victory the Dons walked away with the last time they faced one another back in October of 2023.
