DOLPHINS AT PANTHERS 0 - 14 |

The Panthers did not disappoint the expectations and after a step back against the Lazio Marines returned to victory against the Ancona Dolphins with a result of 14 to 0.
An important victory in the pursuit of the championship on a poor field that did not help the Panthers passing .
The game started for the second time in a row with a great kick return by Craig McIntyre. A few connections between McIntyre and Craddock, were followed by a hand-off from Craddock to Tully who found a hole in the middle of the defense and finished in the endzone. The extrapoint by Gavesi was blocked and the score remained 6-0 for the Panthers.
The Ancona offense struggled without their starting quarterback and could not move the ball against a stingy Panthers defense.
A sack by Ancona on QB Joe Craddock left them with a great opportunity to score from the 5 yards line. After a first down stop, Marino recovered a fumble by the Dolphins young QB to put an end to the threat. The usual combination Craddock-Tully allowed the Panthers to break out of the endzone and reach midfield. After driving deep into the Dolphins territory, Marco Tunnera caught a pass in the back of the endzone, but was called out of bounds. Time expired in the first half and the score remained 6-0.
After halftime the black and silver finally succeeded to move the ball and arrived at the 3 yd line with a pass from Craddock to McIntyre. On third down the Panthers scored on a pitch to Tully. Coach Papoccia choose to go for 2 and a successfull pass from Craddock to McIntyre made the score 14 - 0. From here the Panthers had the game safely in their hands. The Dolphins shut down and the Panthers took advantage driving the ball to midfield on their next possession with a series of run by Tully and finished by Ndori.
The Panthers return again to "XXV Aprile" field of Moletolo against the Bologna Doves, with kickoff on April 5th at 3:00 pm CET.
