Gonzaga struggled to move the ball on offense throughout the game. Quarterback Aidan Conrath was under constant pressure all night. The Eagles managed to avoid a shutout, however, thanks to a last-second touchdown pass from Conrath to running back Cody Hobson.
Good Counsel (6-1) will look to keep its winning streak alive next Friday at Bishop McNamara (2-5).
Gonzaga (4-4) will also take on Bishop McNamara for its next game on Oct. 29 after a bye week.
