Rebels have won each game by double digits this season 鈥� with the lone exception of their first meeting with the Rams in September, when the island team needed to score 21 points in the fourth quarter to comeback and beat the Rams.

Receiver Cairo Berry also had an impressive game hauling in three touchdowns, 114 receiving yards and even ran for a major. Kieran Poisssant played an important role making a pair of touchdown receptions. On the ground Gerren Hardisty added two touchdown runs and chewed up 94 yards.
