Alumni News - Milano Seamen Fall in 40th Italian Bowl
Despite the efforts of former Golden Ram safety Jarey Elder, the Milano Seamen fell 40-34 in overtime to the Parma Panthers in the 40th Italian Bowl.
The Seamen found themselves down 21-0 midway through the second quarter and trailed 34-18 midway through the fourth quarter, but a pair of late touchdowns, and more importantly, a pair of two-point conversions by Elder, tied the game at 34 at the end of regulation. After the Seamen failed to score on their overtime possession, the Panthers completed a 10-yard touchdown pass to claim the championship.
