A leader, hard worker and a good friend. These qualities best describe junior quarterback Brian Guerrero.

Behind an offensive explosion, which featured dominating performances from Ricky Sullivan and Jeff Williams, the Leopards powered to their first victory of the season with a 49-44 triumph over Chapman in the Homecoming game Saturday afternoon at Ortmayer Stadium.

In a game that was close to being cancelled due to local fires, rushing was the name of the game, as Azusa Pacific University easily handed the Leopards their sixth straight loss behind 163 yards rushing and four touchdowns from tailback Ben Buys as well as defensive domination for the 42-0 shutout in front of 3,100 fans at Cougar Stadium, Saturday night.

Saturday's game might best be described as a tale of two halves. That's exactly what it was as the Leopards looked triumphant in the first half and non-existent in the second, giving up 463 yards of total offense, losing to Cal Lutheran, 28-13 and dropping their third consecutive game of the season in front of an impatient crowd Saturday at Ortmayer Stadium.

Coming off the bye week, the Leopards knew the challenge at hand. They were faced with a David vs. Goliath situation. Except this time, David did not win.

Behind a stellar 43-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Justin Fenchel to receiver Matthew Hermsen, the Sagehens of Pomona-Pitzer, playing in their first Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game in eight years, spoiled the victory for La Verne in the final minutes of the game to take the 26-23 victory at Merritt Field in Claremont Saturday afternoon.
