Sariah Williams' Big Game Leads Fairfield over Valley
Sariah Williams's big game helped extend Fairfield's winning streak to six on Thursday. Williams was dynamite, picking up 95 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 80 yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 60 yards.
Williams is probably looking forward to her next game, a home matchup against West Campus on Thursday. When Williams last faced the Warriors back in September, she rushed for 97 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 70 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Valley had to settle for second on Thursday, but Deyonce Espinal sure wasn't going down easily. Espinal turned in nothing short of a gem, 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 and Valley will welcome Armijo at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
