Lions edge past Civulvz 20-7 in regular-season affair
The Lions took the field against Civulvz on Wednesday evening and came away with a 20-7 victory in the regular season. By then, the result had already shifted something in the standings, though the exact position would depend on what happened elsewhere. The Lions had not exactly been rolling before this one, losing 20-17 to the Buccaneers on their last outing.
Seven points on the board for Civulvz tells you they managed a single touchdown, nothing more. The Lions, meanwhile, found the end zone twice and converted both extra points. And here's the thing about a game like this — when one side scores seven and the other twenty, the margin separates a respectable showing from something you'd rather forget.
There were no minute-by-minute events supplied for this one, so the narrative has to come from what the score itself reveals. The Lions controlled more of the afternoon, or at least they controlled more of the scoring. Civulvz pulled out a 34-41 win on their previous match against the Hornets, so they are capable of putting points up, just not consistently against a side that knows how to defend.
The regular season continues to build, and this result gives the Lions something to take forward. Seven points is not nothing, but it is not enough when the opposition scores twice as much. The gap between these two sides looks wider now than it did a week ago.
