Sumner had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 11.3 points) and they went ahead and made it five on Tuesday. They walked away with a 14-6 win over the Durant Cougars. The Stingrays have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Cougars, too.

Sumner can attribute much of their success to Lauren Williams, who threw for 129 yards and a pair of TDs. What's more, Williams racked up 100.3 passer rating, the most she's had since back in March.

Sumner didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Durant to a completion percentage of just 45%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from five players: Alissa Freese, Ava Luke, Nyla Gigger, Kynedi Richardson, and Malia Sweetland, who each logged one passes deflected. Sumner wasn't nearly as limited: they posted one of 59.3%.

Sumner didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Richardson.

Sumner pushed their record up to 11-4 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. The home wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 4.0 points on average over those games. As for Durant, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-6.
