The Saskatoon Valkryies are still the top team in Western Women’s Canadian Football League (WWCFL), proving it once again with their third title victory in a row, this time over the Lethbridge Steel 27 to 13. Β They are the only winner of the WWCFL since it began in 2011.
Gusting winds and rain played a role in the game played in Regina at Mosaic Stadium, the home of the CFLs Saskatchewan Roughriders. Β All but seven of the points scored came when the teams had the wind at their back.
With the wind a their back the Valkryies totaled a lead of 14 to 0 on touchdowns from Julene Friesen (4-yard rush) and Marci Kiselyk (4-yard reception). Β The Steel managed a first half field goal (Carly Dyck) to make the score 14 to 3 at the break.
The third quarter was much the same as the second, with a Carly Dyck field goal being the only score.
Rienna Rueve kicked two field goals of her own for the Valkyries in the fourth quarter. Β The teams exchanged touchdowns in the quarter with a 20 yard Kiselyk reception (fromΒ Candace Bloomquist) for Saskatoon and Lethbridge QB Becky Hennigar scored on a 23-yard scamper with less than a minute to play.
