LIONPWR defeat PIERMONSTERS for third straight win, 219.40-193.45

LIONPWR extended their win streak to three games with a hard-fought win over PIERMONSTERS, earning a 219.40-193.45 victory. PIERMONSTERS nabbed a 58.5-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar showings from Travis Etienne Jr., who racked up 126 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 26.6 points, and Jaylen Waddle, who caught 5 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown (19.5 points). But LIONPWR held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Kenneth Walker III (109 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 20 Rec Yds) and Derrick Henry (115 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs). LIONPWR (7-2) will look to build on their success against Blitz and Glamour, while PIERMONSTERS (5-4) will meet Naked Bootlegs in an effort to get back in the win column.
