BRISTOL, England - Filton, the lone unbeaten team in Division-I North, grabbed an early lead and held on for a 20-0 victory Saturday against a rejuvenated Lakenheath Lancer defense.

According to Pride coach Ben Herod, Filton jumped ahead on two Jordan Eaton TD passes that capped its first two drives. Cameron Parker hauled in the first one, a 30-yarder, and Mitch Wilson the second, on a play that covered five yards.

Eaton, however, left the game early in the second period and did not return, and the Lakenheath defense, which allowed Filton 180 yards in the first half, held the Pride to just 20 total yards after intermission.

Wilson returned a pass interception 40 yards for the final TD for Filton (4-0), which hosts 1-3 Kaiserslautern on Saturday. Filton had defeated Lakenheath, 31-6, to open the season.

Xavier Thompson led all Lancers with 91 total yards from scrimmage. Joey Conner made five tackles, and Chance Knoblauch came up with an interception to lead the defense for Lakenheath (0-4). Lakenheath is to host Ramstein on Saturday.
