FLL Week 2/25
Up first were the very experienced team and a club with rich Football history: the Vienna Vikings who had clearly come to play. The offense did their thing throughout the game, with QB Sassi leading the team to touchdown after touchdown. Favorite target in this game was none other than the Tower of Power herself: Jess! Another standout performance in the offense came by rookie Kari, who played her first gameday in Wiener Neustadt. She scored a whooping 12 points, which would make even some veteran players jealous. The opponents tried to find holes in the Saints’ defense and succeeded once or twice per half. An interception from defense titan Sophie, taking the opponents last hopes away. In the end our ladies decided this game 47-24 in their favor.
(Scores: #84 Jessica M.: 25p, #2 Anja P.: 8p, #79 Karime G.: 12p, #31 Alba G.: 1p, #18 Franziska G.: 1p, Interceptions: Sophie S.: 1x, TD Passes: #10 Saskia S.: 7x)
On their second games the Saints faced a newcomer in the league: the Dark Angels, a young and promising team. Even though this was the two teams’ first introduction, both units of the Saints fired in all cylinders. Defensively, the team didn’t allow any scores and a minimal number of first downs. Absolute star of the show was the other rookie who was playing her first ever game of flag football, Ines. After a much-needed Quarterback sack she topped it all off with an athletic play on the ball that ended in an interception. Not a way bad to start your flag career! The offense put on an excellent performance, as well, scoring a total of 54 points, which is still not the Saints highest score of the year. One thing is for sure; the champs are still hungry! End score: 54-0.
(Scores: #84 Jessica M.: 18p, #19 Sarah L. 16p, Sophie S.: 13p, #2 Anja P.: 6p, #79 Karime G.: 1p, Interceptions: #59 Ines K.: 1x, Sacks: #39 Lisa W.: 1x, #59 Ines K.: 1x TD Passes: #10 Saskia S.: 7x)
Another gameday in the books, another awaits on the 11th of May. The Ladies meet up two very difficult opponents in Innsbruck, where they hope to return in June for the Sport Austria Superfinals to raise the FLL trophy once again.
