The Spartans lost 7-14 in a pretty even contest. The Spartans struck first with a 5 yard strike from Michael Madera to Angel Zuniga. The drive was powered by the running of Michael Duby and Tony Viorato. The Spartan Defensive line did well all night, led by Jerry Ruiz, and Leonel Valdez. Michael Duby and Jonathan Camarena made some key plays as well.
