The Vila Velha Tritoes evened their record at 1-1 Sunday after defeating the Sao Paolo Storm 27-0 at Kléber Andrade Stadium, just outside of Vila Velha.
Playing at times in a downpour that virtually threatened to wash both teams right off the field, the Tritoes took control early and never let the Storm into the game.
Vila Velha quarterback Laparish Lewis completed 14 of 20 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown while adding another 94 yards rushing. Wide receiver Stephan Cirilo had six catches for 68 yards and a TD. In total, the Tritoes amassed 182 yards rushing.
