Portland Thunder News Release


PORTLAND, OR - Another week, another honor for the Portland Thunder receiving corps. This time, Eric Rogers, in his second game with the squad, earned league honors after going over the wall to make a touchdown reception.

CUTTERS CATCH OF THE WEEK

Rogers (6-4, 210, Cal Lutheran) hauled in a touchdown reception and hung on as he was hit over the wall in the second quarter of Portland's 61-42 victory over the Tampa Bay Storm in Week 8. Rogers set a new single-game Thunder record with five receiving touchdowns in the game and his highlight reel catch came in at No. 10 on ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 Plays. He will receive a Cutters hat and shirt in recognition of the catch.

The Thunder bring a two-game win streak into the Moda Center, where they'll take on the two-time defending champion Arizona Rattlers on May 11 at 5 p.m. The game will be broadcast on CSNNW and 750 AM, as well as streamed on ESPN3.
