Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Columbus). They blew past the Spencer Greenwave, posting a 49-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Blue Devils, who have now won 16 matches by 20 points or more so far this season.
Columbus' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Serenity Hickman led the charge by throwing for 185 yards and six touchdowns while completing 76.5% of her passes, and also rushing for 44 yards. Hickman didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles and defended a pass. Lauren Wiggins was Hickman's top target, picking up 90 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
Columbus' defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB three times. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Tess Willis.
The victory (which was Columbus' fifth in a row) raised their record to 18-5. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 39.6 points per game. As for Spencer, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost five of their last six games, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-5 record this season.

As for Spencer, their road trip will continue as they head out to face Callaway at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Spencer's defense has only allowed 14.9 points per game this season, so Callaway's offense will have their work cut out for them.
