The Centenary Cyclones continued their strong debut season in flag football with a hard-fought 13-6 victory over Penn State Schuylkill, improving their record to 5-3. The win was fueled by a dominant ground attack and a stingy defense that helped the Cyclones secure the victory in a tight contest.
Leading the charge on offense was
Jenna Magrino, who put together an impressive performance with 12 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns. Magrino's ability to break through the Penn State Schuylkill defense was key to the Cyclones' success, and her two touchdowns provided the bulk of the team's scoring.
McKenzie Almestica also played a crucial role in Centenary's rushing attack, adding 61 yards on 8 carries. Almestica's contribution kept the defense on its toes and helped control the pace of the game, providing an effective one-two punch in the backfield alongside Magrino.
Defensively, the Cyclones were equally impressive, limiting Penn State Schuylkill to just 6 points throughout the game. Centenary's defense intercepted two passes, showing strong coverage and ball-hawking ability. The Cyclones also had at least six players record two or more tackles, demonstrating a team-oriented defensive effort that stifled any attempt at a Penn State Schuylkill comeback.
With the win, Centenary moves to 5-3, continuing to build momentum as they progress through their inaugural season. With standout performances from both their offense and defense, the Cyclones are proving to be a team to watch as they continue to grow and gain experience.
