PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. - Pace Football (0-2) hosted a Friday night lights match-up with the New Haven Chargers at Northwell Stadium.
After a 21-17 first half in favor of the Chargers, the Setters looked to tackle their opponents for the score advantage in second game of the season. Ultimately, the visiting squad held the hosts to nil during the second half for the 47-17 defeat.
Here's What Happened:
- A competitive and promising first half gave the crowd of Northwell Stadium a show. New Haven was on the board first with a touchdown, but they were soon met with Pace after a 10-play drive completed with a touchdown by Elizjah Lewis, 7-7.
