ORLANDO, Fla. - Sometimes the best offense is a great defense. In their longest road game of the season, the Spokane Shock traveled to Orlando and defeated the second-ranked Predators 70-58 on Saturday night.

Spokane's defense yielded four stops that the Shock's offense cashed in for 21 points and helped produce their highest point total of the season.

Quarterback Kyle Rowley set the tone early on Spokane's first drive with a four-play 37-yard drive that was capped off by a 13-yard touchdown reception by receiver Shaun Kauleinamoku. On the ensuing drive, Predators quarterback Nick Hill fumbled on his fourth play of the game that was recovered by Spokane's defensive lineman Jonathan Williams that put the Shock (2-4) offense back in business.

Rowley capitalized on the opportunity with a six-play 49-yard drive and gave Kauleinamoku his second touchdown of the night on a 22-yard reception. Kauleinamoku led the team with 96 receiving yards on seven receptions, three for touchdowns.

After missing last week's game, receiver Raul Vijil tied Kauleinamoku for the team lead in receptions and led the team with five touchdowns. Wide receivers Greg Orton and Emery Sammons combined for nine receptions and 109 receiving yards for Spokane.

Spokane hosts top-ranked Arizona on Saturday.
