FULLERTON -- Servite’s mastery of Orange Lutheran continued Friday night, and the Friars can thank their defense.

 On the strength of two fourth-down stops in the fourth quarter, No. 7 Servite turned back the No. 3 Lancers, 14-10, in a rugged Trinity League game at Cal State Fullerton on Friday.

Servite (5-3, 2-1) climbed back into the league race by defeating Orange Lutheran (6-2, 2-1) for the third consecutive season.

“We won on defense - we had to,” said Servite football coach Troy Thomas, whose team is tied for second in the league behind Mater Dei (7-2, 3-0).

“Ten points (allowed). That’s a huge, huge win.”
