A week after pushing Gonzaga close Vienna defeated Aspetuck in impressive fashion 20-7.
On a wet, rainy day (OK, it's the spring of 2023, just assume it was wet, rainy, windy, or possibly sleet and hail in every game) ... on a wet, rainy day Vienna played some inspired defense.
They contained Aspetuck's danger attackers and gave up just the one try, scored by the thrilling Pearson Hill.
Vienna scored four tries, with No. 8 Juan Bautista Cat notching three of them, and hooker David Kendig getting the other. Vienna has played several games this year in which their defense bends but doesn't break, and eventually they get a turnover and launch a long-range, try-scoring movement. But this game saw Vienna exert pressure and keeping possession.
Camped out in Aspetuck's half for much of the game Vienna put themselves in position to score, but had some trouble finishing the chances.
