Gladiators defense stepped up to the plate the entire game putting pressure on QB and deflecting numerous passes. DB Earthwind Moreland had clutch interceptions in the 3rd and the 4th quarter that resulted in one of Prentiss' nine touchdown receptions. His performance earned him the Defensive Player of the Game.
