The Las Vegas Ace and Los Angeles Express ended Week 12 in a thrilling tie at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum, with the game concluding 21-21. Las Vegas pulled off an impressive second quarter, led by quarterback Jerry Golsteyn, who connected twice with Ray Taylor for touchdowns. Taylor’s standout day included 110 receiving yards, and he helped the Ace build a 21-7 lead by halftime after Matt Monger intercepted a pass and returned it 23 yards for a score. Las Vegas’s defensive efforts kept the Express at bay through most of the game, holding them scoreless in the third quarter.
Los Angeles, however, mounted a fourth-quarter comeback led by Frank Seurer. He orchestrated two scoring drives, the first ending in a two-yard pass to Duane Gunn followed by a successful two-point conversion, and the second with Tony Zendejas’s 26-yard field goal, which tied the game at 21 with just 45 seconds remaining. Despite dominating the clock and outgaining Las Vegas in total yardage, the Express struggled with turnovers and missed opportunities, including a missed field goal earlier in the game.
Both teams fought hard, with Los Angeles’s defense standing out in the final quarter to prevent any further Las Vegas points. The tie reflects each team’s struggle to execute consistently in critical moments, as Las Vegas now sits at 1-10-1 and Los Angeles at 4-7-1. This game displayed resilience and grit from both teams but also underscored areas for improvement as they move forward in the season.
