Record win for the Bears in Ivo Ikonomov's farewell game
The Sofia Bears beat the Bucharest Predators 65-0, a new club record, in Ivo Ikonomov's farewell game, which he marked with a touchdown.
Sofia Bears set a new club scoring record in Ivo Ikonomov's farewell game. One of the doyens in the "bears" team ended his career with a touchdown in the 65:0 defeat of the Bucharest Predators (29:0, 10:0, 13:0, 13:0). The Bulgarians broke their previous record, set two years earlier, at the start of the final quarter, and reached the visitors' end zone once more in the last second of regulation.
The Bears' special teams shone even when taking the opening kick of the game, which was returned for a touchdown. Three punts also ended up in the Romanians' endzone, but two of them were called back for fouls.
The Bears' previous scoring record was 54 points in a win against the Bucharest Predators in June 2009. Sunday's 29 points in just the first quarter is also a new best in team history.
