Winnipeg Rifles 29
Edmonton Wildcats 10

The Rifles won their second of the year despite only gaining 112 offensive yards on Saturday night in the rain. 

The Rifles used three different ways to score their three touchdowns.  Defensive lineman Davyn Turner returned an interception 35 yards for a touchdown, Brendan Naujoks returned a punt 56 yards for a major and Mathe Mitayango scored a rushing touchdown.

Kicker Drenin Busch also booted a pair of field goals to add to the scoring.

The weather also affected the Wildcats offence gaining just 195 yards.  Their lone score came on the ground when Cody Olson got into the endzone in the fourth quarter.

Defensively they collected four sacks and Chopper Hippe tallied a game high six tackles.

Next week the Rifles (2-2) will travel back to Edmonton on Sunday to face the Huskies (3-1) while the Wildcats (1-3) will host the Calgary Colts (0-4) on Saturday.
