Brooklyn, NY - The Avengers remain undefeated in Northeast Football Conference play with a big 26-13 win over Dean College this afternoon at Lincoln H.S. in Brooklyn. The Avengers struck first on defense, with Josh Rivers (Fr./DB/Titusville, FL/Astronaut) recovering a fumble on Dean first drive taking over on Dean’s 30-yard line. The Avengers on two plays, ending with a five-yard touchdown run by Wandy Saintilien (So/RB/Miami, FL). Dean would answer the call with :28 left in the first quarter on a 75-yard pass reception from Chris Smith to A.J. Price to knot the game at 7-7. The Avengers ended the first half in exciting fashion with sophomore quarterback, Travis Eakin (Toney, Alabama/Madison Academy), finding fellow sophomore receiver, Brandon Brown[pictured] (Newark, NJ/Freehold Boro), in the endzone from 36 yards out for the go-ahead touchdown with no time left on the clock. Brown would catch his second touchdown pass of the afternoon from Eakin late in third quarter on a 57-yard catch and run putting the Avengers up 19-7. Dean would not go down quietly as they would score from seven yards out after recovering a fumble on a botched snap by ASA. However, the Avengers would seal the game with a late 9yard touchdown carry by freshman running back, Nahjee Gibson (Sicklerville, NJ/Timber Creek).
The ASA defense caused havoc for Dean all afternoon long. Dean would allow seven sacks on the afternoon. Sophomore nose tackle, Gilbert Pena (Yonkers, NY/Saunders), had a standout performance with eight tackles including 3.5 sacks. Ivan Nicholas (So./Safety/Jacksonville, FL/Robert E. Lee) was very active on the outside, finishing with ten tackles on the afternoon and a sack.
ASA improves to 2-1 with win and 2-0 in Northeast Football Conference play. Dean falls to 1-2 and 0-1 in the Northeast Football Conference.
