September 9, 2025 – Orange, CA — The Orange Lutheran Lancers flag football team continued their remarkable season Tuesday night with another statement victory, overwhelming the visiting Redondo Union Sea Hawks in a 46-0 shutout.
With the win, Orange Lutheran improves to a perfect 16-0, further cementing themselves as one of the premier flag football programs in Southern California. Redondo Union, meanwhile, suffered just its second loss of the season, dropping to 7-2 overall.
First-Half Fireworks
From the opening whistle, it was clear that Orange Lutheran came ready to impose their will. Their offense, which has been one of the most dynamic in the region, struck quickly and often, spreading the ball around to multiple playmakers. The Sea Hawks, known for their disciplined defensive schemes, had no answers for the Lancers’ precision passing and quick tempo.
Quarterback play was sharp and efficient, with Orange Lutheran’s offense executing with surgical accuracy. By halftime, the Lancers had already put the game well out of reach, building a commanding lead behind a flurry of touchdowns through the air and on the ground.
Defensively, Orange Lutheran was equally impressive. Their ability to contain Redondo Union’s athletes in space highlighted their speed, discipline, and communication on the field. The Sea Hawks struggled to move the ball past midfield for much of the half, a testament to the Lancers’ relentless defensive pressure.
Complete Control
In the second half, Orange Lutheran showed no signs of letting up. The Lancers’ defense continued to swarm to the ball, forcing incompletions and limiting Redondo Union to short gains that went nowhere. The offense, meanwhile, stayed aggressive, tacking on more points to push the score to 46-0.
What stood out most was Orange Lutheran’s balance. While many teams lean heavily on one or two stars, the Lancers showcased their depth, with multiple athletes contributing to the scoring effort. The offensive line provided time for the quarterback to make reads, while receivers consistently found ways to create separation downfield.
Special teams and situational execution were also a strength. Whether it was converting extra points, extending drives with key completions on third down, or keeping the pressure high with fast-paced play-calling, Orange Lutheran looked like a team in midseason form — even though they’ve been doing this all year long.
Redondo Union’s Tough Night
For Redondo Union, it was simply one of those nights where nothing seemed to click. Entering the contest with a strong 7-1 record, the Sea Hawks had shown they were capable of competing with top-tier programs. But against the undefeated Lancers, they ran into a different level of competition.
The Sea Hawks will have little time to dwell on the loss, as they turn around quickly to host Palos Verdes on Thursday. That game provides a chance for redemption, though it will be no easy task. Palos Verdes is riding momentum of its own, fresh off a 40-0 shutout against Bishop Montgomery, and will be looking to continue its hot streak.
Looking Ahead for Orange Lutheran
For Orange Lutheran, the victory adds to a growing list of dominant performances. At 16-0, the Lancers have not only showcased their consistency but also sent a message to every program in California: they are the team to beat.
Next up, Orange Lutheran will host Aliso Niguel on Monday, September 15. The Wolverines come into the matchup with a 7-6 record after a 33-7 win over El Toro. While Aliso Niguel has been improving, they’ll be facing their toughest challenge yet against the undefeated Lancers.
The question surrounding Orange Lutheran now isn’t whether they can win — it’s whether anyone can slow them down. Their combination of speed, execution, and discipline makes them a nightmare matchup for any opponent.
Final Score: Orange Lutheran 46, Redondo Union 0
