Albuquerque - The Revs played another close game through three quarters before penalties and poor defense late in the game did them in during the final quarter of regulation.
Quarterback Lauren Morales would have his day end early after a leg injury would preclude him from taking the field in the second half. He would be replaced by Richard Adkins who would electrify by rushing for a 29-yard touchdown on the opening drive of the third quarter. It would be the first of his three touchdowns of the day and tie the score at 17-17. However, running back Jestin Kelly would respond by rushing for two of his total of three touchdowns on the day during Duke City's next two possessions. As a result, the Gladiators would regain the lead on Kelly's second touchdown of the third quarter and would never relinquish the lead for the rest of the game.
The Revs would attempt to remain within a couple of scores through the first part of the final quarter of play. The Gladiators would ice the game after capitalizing on a Revolution interception paired with a penalty on the return that would end in a rushing touchdown from the 1-yard line by quarterback Caleb Holbrook to put the game at 51-30 with 7:53 left to play. Texas would try to respond but too many penalties on their closing drives would not allow them to make up the point differential.
Duke City's Caleb Holbrook would have four touchdowns and pass for 209 total yards on the day. The Gladiators' Brett Bowers terrorized both of the Revolution's quarterbacks with two-and-a-half sacks and seven total tackles in the game.
Texas is still in search of their first win of the season and will attempt to get it when they return home to play the Dallas Marshalls on April 21 at Dr. Pepper Arena.
