Auburn (5-2; 3-2) took a 9-7 lead in the second quarter on Gavin Strojan’s 34-yard field goal — not long after E.J. Brown’s 12-yard TD run.

The game was rescheduled from Saturday because of weather conditions.

The win sets up another big game for Federal Way against Auburn Riverside (4-3; 3-2) at 7 p.m. Friday at Federal Way Memorial Stadium with two games remaining in the regular season.
