In game 3, The Scottsdale Gladiators were victorious against the Verde Valley Coyotes, winning 21 to 15. Despite their lack in depth, the Coyotes put up quite a fight in this competition, holding the Gladiators scoreless until nearly the end of the first quarter. The defense lost the battle against # 20 Byron Autry, as he scored the first touchdown of the game, which was unanswered in the first quarter. In the quarters to follow teammates #81 Dave Edwards and #25 Robert Routt added touchdowns to the score, which were all backed by successful PAT's by Kicker Steve Fish.
Defensively, the Gladiators held their opponents to 15 points giving up a touchdown in the second quarter and another in the fourth. Rich Hall added to the defense's success adding 6 tackles to the stats, Jimmy Scully with 1 interception and a sack by power-player James "Pain Train" Austin. All in all, the togetherness of the defense held Coyotes quarterback Ryan Moeller to a 1 and 10 conversion rate for pass completion.
