“It has been a long time since we could celebrate a victory - and this game looked like anything but a victory early on. We had the ball and removed several norse, but poor play in the clutch again doomed our chance at a touchdown and it was 0-0 at the half.

Second half we were kicking off, but were up 3 players, we blitzed the ball, burned a RR, but Lucy could not drop the blodger. The norse runner sprinted towards the endzone...it looked like we would go down 0-1, only Kate Lam could reach and it was a 2 gfi blitz...but she charged - and made it AND got the POW - sending the ball flying. The norse could not reclaim the ball, and instead of just playing it safe, Kate grabbed the ball and fired it downfield, a handoff and it was a TD to put us up 1-0...then on the ensuing kickoff we blitzed - with Kate catching the onsides kick...the norse rushed her, but she dodged away, more gfis and then another pass - this time to Vicki Nelson, and it was 2-0. Not slowing down, Kate grabbed the ball yet again - this time taking it in herself for a much appreciated 3-0 win.

It has been a while, but we finally put a solid half together (granted against a very short-handed norse team - but we will take *any* good news!)”
