Tucson's defense leads the Sugar Skulls to a 39-32 win over the Vegas Knight Hawks.
Justin Spears With a chance to gain separation in the western conference standings, and more importantly take a step towards one of the final spots in the IFL playoffs, the Tucson Sugar Skulls took down the Vegas Knight Hawks 39-32 Saturday night in Tucson.
"It was a big win for us," said Sugar Skulls head coach Dixie Wooten." playoff lives were on the line tonight and they came and gave it everything. ... Our guys were determined to step up in the end." The Knight Hawks' opening drive of the second half chewed up 9:09, which resulted in a missed 21-yard field goal.
Vegas' newcomer quarterback, Cameron Dukes, gave the Knight Hawks a 26-19 to end the third quarter. Second-year Sugar Skulls wide receiver Jazeric Pederson tied the game 26-26 with a leaping catch into Tucson's bench in the corner of the end zone. Following a missed PAT following Dukes' rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, the Sugar Skulls led 33-32 just before the one-minute warning. Vegas' attempted onside kick ricocheted off Pedroza's leg and dribbled into the end zone, with the Sugar Skulls recovering it for a touchdown to take a 39-32 lead after Justus' missed PAT.
