BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Both sides of Saturday's matchup between two struggling Division II squads earned a welcome jolt of confidence from a season-high offensive showing. But only one could come away with the victory.

Host International School of Brussels took a 50-32 decision in the unexpected shootout.

ISB came into Saturday without a win or even a point to its name, having taken shutout losses to Aviano and Vicenza over its first two games.

Alconbury hadn't fared much better, scoring just eight points apiece in losses to Rota and Hohenfels.

But both offenses finally tasted sustained success Saturday.

John Kontos caught two touchdowns and rushed for another to pace the victorious Raiders. Quarterback Len Pick threw a total of five touchdown passes, tossing two to Kontos and one apiece to Stefan Anderson, James Daly and Filip Havlena.

Dragon running back Adarius Gallon posted the game's gaudiest statistics with 31 rushes for 321 yards and four touchdowns. Alconbury quarterback Fritz Sherenco enjoyed a solid line of his own, completing 12 of 25 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown throw to Pavel Karamshin.

ISB's defense eventually locked down enough to secure the win, led by Hamam Al-Abri with 12 tackles, Daly and Kontos with nine each and Anderson with an interception.
