ROTA, Spain -- The Rota Admirals completed a second straight undefeated regular season Saturday with a 49-16 drubbing of the visiting SHAPE Spartans.

De’Ontae Bradley had 184 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns. Sam Gallardo threw for 113 yards and three touchdowns, including two to Jake Anderson and another to Andy Drake, and also ran for a pair of scores.

Marc Magwood paced the Rota defense with six tackles and a fumble recovery.
