The Surge defense put on a clinic Sunday, holding the Volt to just 7 points in a convincing 28-7 victory that keeps their playoff hopes alive.

Defensive Dominance

The Surge came into the game with a simple plan: take away the deep ball and force the Volt into mistakes. It worked to perfection, as they recorded 4 sacks and 2 interceptions while limiting the Volt to just 95 total yards.

"We were locked in from the first snap," said linebacker Thomas Roy, who led the team with 8 tackles. "Everyone did their job, and when that happens, we're a really tough defense to score against."

Offensive Balance

While the defense stole the show, the Surge offense was efficient when it mattered. Quarterback Alex Simard completed 18 of 24 passes for 185 yards and 2 touchdowns, while running back Derek Fontaine added 65 rushing yards and a score.

Playoff Implications

With the win, the Surge improve to 2-4 and keep their slim playoff hopes alive. They'll need to win their remaining games and get some help, but stranger things have happened in Montreal D1.

Up Next

The Surge face the Flash next week in a must-win game. A loss would eliminate them from playoff contention, while a win would set up a dramatic final week of the regular season.
