Green Bay Blizzard pull out gritty win over Tulsa, move to 8-1

It wasn't pretty, but the Blizzard got it done Saturday night. Green Bay survived a back-and-forth thriller against the Tulsa Oilers, outscoring them 13-0 in the fourth quarter to pull away 41-35 and improve to 8-1 on the season.

 

The game was a slugfest from the start, with the two teams trading punches through the first three quarters. Tulsa took a 35-27 lead heading into the fourth before Green Bay completely locked them down and scored twice to close it out. The Oilers never saw the ball again after Tariq Bracy's late interception sealed it.

 

Trevon Alexander was the offensive star, hauling in four catches for 93 yards and three touchdowns. Liam Thompson had his moments despite a rough night through the air, finishing 11-of-20 for 158 yards and four scores while also rushing 13 times for 75 yards and a touchdown. Kairee Robinson chipped in 44 yards on the ground and a score of his own.

 

Thompson's three interceptions kept Tulsa in it all night. Jerminic Smith Sr. did the damage for the Oilers with nine catches for 100 yards and three touchdowns, and Caleb Ramseur added 66 rushing yards. But when it mattered most, Green Bay's defense showed up and the offense finished the job.

The Blizzard return home to the Resch Center Fri., May 29 for the teams first matchup with the San Antonio Gunslingers this season. Kickoff set for 7 p.m.
