Alumni News - White, Elliott Not Enough Against Les Argonautes

Significant efforts from former Golden Rams Rondell White and Eddie Elliott weren't enough for the Nice Dauphins to overcome three interceptions as they fell to the Les Argonautes 35-23.

White had 13 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown, three catches for 26 yards, and a kick return for 25 yards while Elliott had three carries for ten yards and a touchdown, five catches for 82 yards, and a kick return for another ten yards in the contest. The two West Chester alumni accounted for 206 of the Dauphins' 264 yards on offense.

White's touchdown, keyed by a block from Elliott, gave the Dauphins a 17-14 lead early in the third quarter. Elliott's three-yard touchdown run drew Nice to 28-23 midway through the fourth quarter, but a later Dauphins scoring drive was thwarted by an interception.

The Dauphins are off until March 4 when they travel to take on the undefeated La Courneuve Flash.
