Sariah Williams Goes Supernova in Fairfield Win
Sariah Williams was instrumental in extending Fairfield's winning streak to six on Thursday.

Williams was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 60 yards.

While Deyonce Espinal delivered a dominant performance on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Valley. Espinal was dynamite, picking up three sacks and making three total tackles. She got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 55 yards.
Valley now has a losing record at 6-7. Espinal will have a chance to log another big game when she takes on Armijo on Tuesday.
