The CWFL had another busy weekend starting on Wednesday night with the Law and Ruckers butting heads.

The victor ended up being the Law in a 19-8 decision.

“It was a great game on both sides with Kim Scafe and Brittany Hearsey standing out for the Law,” said the CWFL’s Chris Mann. He said that for the Ruckers Jules King and Lenny Vinoly “were amazing.”

Friday night featured a huge match-up between the CWFL’s two undefeated teams: the Crew and the Victoria Cougars.

Ever the leader, Jackie Harrison commanded the Crew to the win with the help of Taylor Hendricks. For the Cougars, Jac Lathrop was everywhere on the field and her teammate Erica Hamilton was her shadow.

On Sunday the Storm took on the Wild and got standout play from rookies Kira Raps, Kelsey Ambler and veteran Annie Zurstrom. The Wild put together a solid game using their rookies Rachelle Young, Piper Bilina and veteran Kelly Hall but when the final whistle blew, the win went to the Storm by a 20-0 score.

On Sunday when the Ruckers met the Crew, Jenna Bugden, Quinn Battie and Katrina Brooks took up the banner for an amazing performance only to bow to the league-leading Crew 41-0. Nakisa Levali and Janelle Mould featured well in the Crew’s potent offensive explosion.

The last game of the day brought the Victoria Cougars back into town to match wits with the Ravens.

“It was speed, rugby-style runs and big play catches the entire game,” Mann noted.

The Ravens’ Jamie Russell and Keisen Diab were outstanding but their team fell 45-6 to the out-of-towners.

As for the Cougars, quarterback Tara Jefferson moved her team well and outstanding play also came from Kelly Linn.
