EMC sports - If there was a monkey on the back of Ottawa Invaders head coach Wayne Jacobs, it as washed off once and for all with a Gatorade shower Saturday night in Toronto. Jacobs earned his first win as the Invaders’ head coach as they defeated the Toronto Raiders 33-12 at Esther Shiner Stadium in North York Saturday night. At the conclusion of the game, players on his team gave him the traditional Gatorade bucket shower. The win evened the Invaders’ record at 1-1. The team is at home Sat., June 15 at Beckwith Park to take on the first place Durham Hawkeyes. Kick off is at 7 p.m. “It was a good win for us, but we still have a lot of work to do and a lot of areas to improve upon,” said Jacobs. The Raiders controlled the first quarter of play, chewing up 11 minutes on the opening drive of the game. A costly roughing the kicker call and a second unnecessary roughness call not only kept the drive alive, but it also put the Raiders into the Invaders’ red zone and set up their first score. The Invaders got the ball back and quarterback Jeff Hildreth went to work, driving the team down the field before finding Andrew Foss in the end zone for a 23yard touchdown. The score was set up by a 38-yard reception by Danny Mullins. Jeff Morris added the extra point, giving the Invaders a 7-6 lead. After Morris pinned the Raiders deep in their own end with a punt out of bounds, linebacker Christian Contreras picked up a safety for the Invaders to make the score 9-6. Adam Gourgon returned the ensuing kickoff to the Raiders’ 45, and Hildreth fired a touchdown pass to Bobby Massie on the next play. Morris added the extra point to make the score 16-6. A Ryan Lorette interception after the kickoff gave the Invaders one more chance before the half. Hildreth found Foss in the open, but he was tackled at the 15 yard line as time expired. In the third quarter, the Invaders kept rolling. Hildreth found Foss for his second TD catch of the game, this one from five yards out. Morris added the extra point to make the score 23-6. Adam Gourgon scored on the next drive on a one-yard run, and Morris’ kick gave the Invaders a 30-6 lead. The Invaders defence, meanwhile, got interceptions from Lorette, Rhami Aboud and Mike Lacelle to keep the Raiders at bay. Phil Dixon finally scored for the Raiders late in the third quarter, making the score 30-12. The Raiders attempted an onside kick, but a heads up play by Craig Hodge gave the Invaders the ball at the Raiders 50. Rookie Leith Fisken took over from Hildreth and played the fourth quarter. He drove the Invaders into the Raiders’ red zone to set up a Morris field goal to make the score 33-12. Hildreth completed 17 passes for 267 yards, while Fisken, in his debut, completed four passes for 60 yards. Foss tied a team record with nine receptions and had 117 yards and two TDs. John McNulty, making his first start at wide receiver, caught five passes for 80 yards. Adam Gourgon led Invaders’ rushers with 81 yards on 11 carries, while TJ Williams had 33 yards on eight carries.
