touchdown to make the halftime score 35-7 Raiders.

Rebels’ backup QB Cat Todorovich ran in a late touchdown to match a Raiders major
from earlier in the 4th quarter and a late safety rounded out the day’s scoring for the
Rebels. Final score Vancouver Island Raiders 46 Victoria Rebels 15. The Rebels now
move to 2-3 at the season’s halfway mark and the Raiders go to 4-1.
