Eagles Rally to Outscore Woodbridge, 51-32
November 13, 1992 at Saddleback College

Eagles 51 - Warriors 32
After a trying week of practice following the injury to junior Darren Wedertz in the Newport Harbor Junior Varsity game, the Eagles came out a little sluggish and somber.

The Warriors (2-7-1, 1-5-1) jumped out to a 14-0 first quarter lead on two Shea Stone passes. The Eagles came storming back to tie the score after Chris Tiernan's 1-yard run and Kevin Duffy's 46-yard reception from Sean O'Brien.

But the night would turn into a score fest as Stone connected on another touchdown pass to give the Warriors a 20-14 lead with time running out in the first half. The Eagles (8-2, 5-2) took the lead on Tiernan's 10-yard run, capping another successful two-minute drive.

The game was put out of reach in the third quarter as SM scored three successive times, two on interceptions by Kevin Duffy and Brad Finneran.

However, the scoring continued to the very end as Woodbridge scored two more times through the air, and the Eagles countered with a 24-yard field goal by Ryan Korinke and Brad Finneran's 26-yard reception in the fourth quarter.

For the fourth straight year SM qualified for the playoffs as the third place representative of the league.
