Carson was led to victory by ROMERO MELODY and SORIYAH MAULUPE. MELODY gained 117 total yards and two touchdowns, while MAULUPE threw for 122 yards and a pair of TDs. MAULUPE didn't just play on offense: she also made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defended one pass.
Another reason for the win was Carson's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut KAMERYN BLOCKETT. Carson got some further help from ANAIYAH POPOALII: she made six total tackles and defended two passes in addition to snagging an interception which she returned one-yard for a touchdown.
Carson's record is now 9-12-2. As for Venice, the defeat snapped their winning streak at 12 games and leaves them with a 12-2 record.
Coming up, Carson will challenge Franklin at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few points on average (the Colts 14.5, the Panthers 8.6) so any points scored will be well earned. Venice does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
