Virgin Valley waltzed into their match on Wednesday with eight straight wins... but they left with nine. They claimed a resounding 40-12 victory over the Boulder City Eagles. Virgin Valley's win was all the more impressive since the Eagles were averaging only 15 points allowed on the season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Virgin Valley to victory, but perhaps none more so than Davie Slack, who threw for 195 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 56 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. Slack has been hot, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last seven times she's played. Another player making a difference was Linita Kioa, who gained 163 total yards and three touchdowns.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Virgin Valley's defense and their four sacks. Boulder City's QB won't forget Mercades Jordan anytime soon given she sacked her three times. What's more, Jordan also racked up seven total tackles, the most she's had since back in February of 2024.
When it comes to explaining why Boulder City lost, don't look at Makayla Nelson. Despite the final result, she rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries. Nelson's longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain her lofty yards per carry total.
