The Mass Fury will always remember their first home game at Becker College for great reasons. The Fury were able to defeat the Leominster Razorbacks 17-14 at Becker College through key defensive stops and excellent special teams.
The Fury shook off an early lead by the Razorbacks in the first quarter with a long field goal from John Carpenter. Carpenter proved effective in keeping the Razorbacks deep into their own territory most of the game by pinning them inside their own 20 on most punts.
After trailing 14-3 in the second quarter the Fury kicked their offense into high gear. A 25 yard touchdown reception from Ryan Minns to Fran Collins cut the lead to 14-10.
Collins would also catch a deep ball later in the quarter which would allow Mike Webb to punch in a one yard run to give the Fury a 17-14 lead going into the half. Collins would end the day with 117 yards receiving on six receptions.
"That is just Franny doing his thing," said Coach Chambers. "It was great to see him coast down the field against a defense like this."
The defense would take over from there in the second half. Despite having the ball for 12 consecutive minutes and most of the second half the Razorbacks were unable to find the end zone.
The Fury defense was able to stop the razorbacks on 4th down several times including one drive the Razorbacks reached the goal line.
"That was huge. We knew that would be the game right there," said Coach Chambers. "Last week we did not get a great chance to show the strength of our defense, and we got to show how tough we are this week."
The entire night proved to be a success for the Fury's first home game held at Becker College. The success brings hope that Becker College could be used as the permanent home field for the Fury in the future.
The Mass Fury take on the North Shore Generals Saturday in Lynn. Their next home game will be August 15 against the Hollywood East Outlaws.
