Sabercats swept at home

After opening the Ontario Varsity Football League season with three victories, the past two weeks have not been kind to the Sault Sabercats.

After opening the Ontario Varsity Football League season with three victories, the past two weeks have not been kind to the Sault Sabercats.

A week after losing their first game of the season by dropping a 35-7 decision to the Essex Ravens, the Sabercats fell to 3-2 with a 47-13 loss to the London Mustangs at Superior Heights.

The Mustangs broke the game open in the second half when Fernando De La Rosa returned an interception 25 yards for a touchdown with 1:35 left in the third quarter to make the score 26-13.

The Mustangs would add another major 17 seconds into the fourth quarter when Cole Kussman scored on a 35-yard run.

Justin Senecal had the lone Sabercats touchdown on a 15-yard pass from Evan Bodnar.

The Mustangs improve to 3-2 with the victory.

In junior varsity action, London beat the Sabercats 52-8 thanks to a pair of touchdowns from Daniel Johnson. London remains undefeated in JV action with a 5-0 record while the Sabercats fall to 0-5.

Aaron Grawbarger had the lone Sabercats touchdown in the junior varsity game, scoring on a 15-yard pass from Michael Byron.

Both Sabercats teams are on the road next weekend as they travel to Mississauga to take on the Warriors before enjoying a bye week in week seven.

The road portion of the Sabercats schedule wraps up on July 11 against the Niagara Spears.

The Sabercats will then wrap up their 2015 regular season schedule on July 18 against the Cambridge Lions at Rocky DiPietro Field.
