Maranatha 69, Whittier Christian 32: The Heralds fought back from the first flurry of scoring by the Minutemen, but they couldn’t keep pace the rest of the game at Whittier College.
The Minutemen (10-0, 4-0) jumped out to a quick 21-0 lead, needing only two plays from scrimmage to go along with a defensive touchdown in the opening 3:30 of the game.
The Heralds (1-9, 1-3) bounced back as Justin Osborn scored on a 14-yard run to get his team on the scoreboard. After the touchdown, the Heralds pulled off a successful onside kick. That led to a 10-yard touchdown reception by Osborn to make it 21-13.
The Minutemen took over the rest of the game with their rushing attack.
