Novaforce top Owen Sixteen to remain perfect in 105.04-70.04 landslide

Novaforce won their third straight to open the season with a convincing win over Owen Sixteen, rolling to a 105.04-70.04 victory. It didn't take long to learn who would lead the way in the matchup, as Novaforce nabbed a 23.50-point lead on Thursday behind standout showings from DJ Moore and the Carolina Panthers defense. Moore caught 8 passes for 126 yards for 13.5 points, while the Panthers defense allowed only 9 points and gave up 193 yards (10 points). Aaron Rodgers (261 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and DK Metcalf (6 Rec, 107 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) carried the flag for Owen Sixteen in defeat. Novaforce (3-0) will look to build on their success against Pantheon Hulks, while Owen Sixteen (1-2) attempt to get back on track against Captain Hindsight.
