Updated: October 18, 2011 10:52PM

Abdullah Alghazali had two rushing touchdowns, and Michael Ortega tossed a momentum-swinging touchdown as Pritzker rallied to defeat Rowe-Clark 22-18 Tuesday at Hanson Stadium to finish the regular season undefeated for the second consecutive year.

‘‘I wish I could take credit for the comeback,” Pritzker coach Tom Mulder said. “But it was a total team effort led by our senior leadership.’’

Alghazali finished with 17 carries for 189 yards. Ortega was 7-for-15 passing for 167 yards.

Trailing 18-0 midway through the third quarter, the Jaguars (9-0, 6-0 Inter-City 3) began their rally when Ortega connected with wide receiver Will Rivera for a 53-yard touchdown.
