Oregon posts 16-3 victory over Tulsa Talons

Tulsa, OK (Reuters) -- Heading into Tulsa with a two-game losing streak, the Oregon Ice desperately needed someone to have a big game. They got it in cornerback
Tommy Reagan, who twice picked off
Donnie Lowe deep inside Ice territory within in the final 15:45 to preserve Oregon's 16-3 victory over the Talons.
"I was in the zone today, I guess," said a humble Reagan, who doubled his career interception total Sunday. "We practiced hard all week to defend [Tulsa], and we executed our plan to perfection today."
Apparently, the Ice practiced good timing more than anything. Reagan's first interception was at the Oregon 17-yard line and occurred after the Talons had reached the Oregon 29 with :45 left in the third quarter. His second was at the Oregon 12 after Tulsa drove to the Ice 18-yard line with 8:29 remaining.
"I think that broke their will," said Ice quarterback
Maurice Brown (215 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT). "After Tommy grabbed that second pass, the wind kind of went out of them."
Oregon also benefited from Tulsa's erratic kicker
Eddie Spires, who started in place of injured
Joseph Dunford. On the day, Spires made a 42-yard field goal, but missed twice from 48 yards out.
In contrast, Oregon kicker
Craig Schanding was perfect, nailing field goals of 20, 47 and 54 yards. Schanding has yet to miss a kick this season and currently leads the CFL with 13 field goals.
The victory allowed Oregon (3-2)to pull into a tie with Seattle for second place in the Ring of Ice Division. Tulsa (2-3) dropped its second in a row, dropping into a tie for last in the Cavalry Division.
Around the League
The single-game rushing record didn't last long, as career backup RB
Joseph Gallego (36/39) ran for 243 yards and two touchdowns in Honolulu's 38-23 victory over Sacramento. Gallego, starting for the injured
Colin Sonkin, broke the 236-yard record set by Albany RB
Joel Foran in Week 1 of this season.
