The Stags lost their road game at Whitworth 12-7 last weekend and currently sit at 1-1 after defeating Whittier College at home in their first contest.  

In their road loss to the Pirates, the Stags opened the scoring with a rushing touchdown from Pre-Season All-American running back Justin Edwards :15 seconds into the second quarter. 

After the Stags allowed a safety in the middle of the period, the Pirates further cut into the lead with a 43-yard field goal that sent the game to half with the Stags holding a 7-5 lead. CMS maintained this advantage through the third and the majority of the fourth until the Pirates scored the game-winning touchdown with 1:25 left in the game.

The Stags ran for 114 yards, but at only a 2.5 yards per rush clip. They also only threw the ball 12 times for 62 yards. The Stags' best player, Edwards, had 124 of their 148 yards from scrimmage.
