Coronado better keep an eye on Leyla Randolph.

That's the most passing touchdowns Randolph has posted since back in December of 2023. Averie Carothers was another key player, picking up 75 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

One reason for the win was Southeast Career Tech's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for six sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Camila H and Leah McClain, who racked up five sacks between them.

Southeast Career Tech is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. The wins came thanks to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 7.3 points per game. As for Coronado, their victory bumped their record up to 4-1.

Coronado didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Southeast Career Tech when the teams last played back in January, but they still walked away with an 18-14 win. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Randolph, who rushed for 171 yards and one touchdown on only 15 carries, and also threw for 156 yards and one touchdown while completing 72.2% of her passes.
