The Cruisers went on the road to Hoquiam this past Friday night to take on the Hoquiam Grizzlies in their final regular-season game.

The Cruisers would down the Grizzlies 40-12 at historic Olympic Stadium.

Dylan Norman opened up the scoring for the Cruisers when he took a Kevin Wulff-handoff 12 yards for the score to put the Cruisers ahead 6-0.
