Sariah Williams' Big Game Leads Fairfield over Valley
Sariah Williams's big game helped extend Fairfield's winning streak to six on Thursday. Valley had no answer to Williams as she picked up 95 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown. Williams showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 60 yards.

While Deyonce Espinal delivered a dominant effort on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Valley. Espinal turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up three sacks and making three total tackles.

Valley now has a losing record at 6-7. Espinal and Valley will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against Armijo at 5:30 p.m.
