ANAHEIM – The San Jose SaberCats (11-4) defense held the LA KISS (3-12) to fewer than 40 points on Sunday and thus did so for the fourth game in a row and made it 11 times this year that the defense has held their opponents below 40 and secured the win and the division for the Cats.

Defensive back David Hyland said, “Our up front is unstoppable, and they make it so easy for the secondary. It’s a group working together.”

With the defense taking care of the ball when they were on the field, it was up to the Cats offense to take control when their turn came.

They did so impressively.

Nathan Stanley was a solid 12 for 18 with sux touchdowns and 144 yards. Reggie Gray and Dominique Curry contributed with 3 touchdowns a piece. Stanley, Fullback Odie Armstrong and Rich Ranglin contributed with touchdowns of their own.

Even with the offensive power, Gray praised the defense, “When the defense locks it down and gets us inside, it’s up to us to do our job and score. When we get a get a short field, it makes it such an easier game.”

The San Jose SaberCats head home this Friday when they take on Tampa Bay at 7:30pm.
