Meanwhile, Cigarroa was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their 11th straight loss. They fell just short of Zapata by a score of 31-28. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat the Toros have suffered against the Hawks since August 29, 2015.
