DeAngelis' late field goal gives Stampeders hard-fought win

Jan 9, 2008 - 5:30 PM EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) -- Sandro DeAngelis kicked a 34-yard field goal as time expired to propel the Calgary Stampeders to a 34-32 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday.

The CFL's Most Outstanding Special Teams Player last year, DeAngelis' fourth field goal of the contest came after Edmonton had taken a 32-31 lead with 1:38 remaining in the fourth quarter.

The late kick by DeAngelis vindicated Henry Burris' stellar effort as Calgary's quarterback finished 26-of-35 for 323 yards and two touchdowns. The 32-year-old product of Temple also rushed for 70 yards and accounted for all 49 during the Stampeders' game-winning drive.

Calgary (3-3) stayed within two games of West Division leader B.C. (5-1) but needed the late heroics only because they squandered a 31-22 lead early in the fourth following a 46-yard rushing touchdown by Joffrey Reynolds.

Edmonton (2-3-1) stormed back with 10 unanswered points as quarterback Ricky Ray threw one of his scoring passes to Kamau Peterson and Sean Fleming converted a short field goal. Ray also completed 24-of-34 passes for 275 yards.
