SLAM CAP OFF UNDEFEATED SEASON, PREPARE FOR PLAYOFFS
The St. Louis SLAM women’s full contact football team capped off an undefeated 2009 regular season with a 40-10 win in Iowa last Saturday. The SLAM have finished off the regular season undefeated for the second straight year, and now begin preparing to face another undefeated team, the Las Vegas Showgirlz, in the first round of the WFA playoffs. The SLAM earned home field advantage for the game, which will be played at Oakville High School at 7:00 on July 11, 2009.
The SLAM hit the scoreboard early against the Iowa Thunder on Saturday, with Danielle Cullen capping off a long drive with a rushing TD, and Gail Graff returning an interception 52 yards on the Thunder’s next possession. But the Thunder answered quickly with runningback, Jennifer Boling, breaking a 58 yard run for a TD. The Thunder then recovered the following kickoff and added a field goal, narrowing the SLAM lead to 13-10 in the first half. From that point on, the SLAM dominated the game, shutting out the Thunder scoring with hard hits and 4 interceptions on the day by Graff, Kelly Kozlen, Laure “Frenchy” Gelis-Diaz, and Toya “Turtle” Brown. The offense added TDs from runningback, Pat Riggins, and wide receivers, Gail Graff and Kate Evers.
The SLAM will face one of the top passing offenses in the league when they take on the Las Vegas Showgirlz next Saturday in what should be an exciting playoff matchup. Tickets are now available for the first round playoff game taking place on Saturday, July 11, 2009, at Oakville High School at 7:00pm. Ticket prices are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, and $7 for children.
