Senior quarterback Kanji Maeda completed 7 of 9 passes for 231 yards and a 66-yard touchdown pass to freshman wide receiver Yoshihito Omi, leading the Ritsumeikan University Panthers to a 41-7 rout of the Hosei University Tomahawks on Sunday at Amino Vital Field in Chofu, Tokyo, in the newly established Tokyo Bowl.
Kohei Hasegawa scored two rushing touchdowns and the Panthers defense held the Tomahawks high-scoring offense to only one touchdown and 163 offensive yards.
"Finishing this season with a victory is significant for our team and senior players who retire after this game. We appreciate the Kanto Collegiate Football League for giving us the opportunity to play one more game in this bowl game," Ritsumeikan head coach Akira Yonekura said. "Despite the win, we found a lot of things to improve. We're still looking for an answer to beat (archrival) Kwansei Gakuin University in the Kansai League."
