Bologna, March 26, 2011 – After the loss in week 1, the Panthers found the first win of the season. Parma went to the half time in full control of the game and, with the mercy rule enforced early in the third quarter, gave some play-time to the second strings.

In the first drive of the game, Parma moved down the field but fumble just outside the opponent red zone. The Doves anyway were forced to a 3&out, but the punt was blocked by Panthers Lyles. Parma capitalized the nice starting position as RB Jaycen Spears run 20 yards for the first touchdown of the evening (7-0).

Later in the first, the Panthers increased their lead when QB Monardi connected with Bissell for a 35 yards reception (14 to 0) and Malpeli Avalli run for a 6 yards touchdown (20 to 0, the kick was aborted after a problematic hold).

In the second quarter Bologna went to the scoreboard with a 8 yards pass from White to Hasselberg (20 to 6, the kick was no good). The Panthers answered immediately with two TD receptions (Bissell, 29 yards, and Finadri, 20 yards) and went up 34 to 6.

In the second half, after the sixth touchdown of the day (Monardi to Diaferia for 39 yards) and the mercy rule on, the Panthers gave some play-time to their second strings.
Then, in the last quarter of play, Bologna was able to cut the deficit to 41-19 with the TD passes from White to Hasselberg and White.
