They took their matchup with ease, bagging a 46-0 victory over the Cheyenne Desert Shields. Given the Diamondbacks' advantage in MaxPreps' Nevada football rankings (they are ranked first, while the Desert Shields are ranked 44th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Desert Oasis didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Brooke Campion, Marissa Williams, and Aniyah I'i picked up one apiece. The dominant performance also gave Williams a new career-high in total tackles (three).
Desert Oasis' victory was their ninth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 20-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 10.8 points over those games. As for Cheyenne, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-18.
Looking ahead, Desert Oasis will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against Southeast Career Tech at 4:30 p.m. The two teams have allowed few points on average, (Desert Oasis: 13.3, Southeast Career Tech: 10.7) so any points scored will be well earned.
