Sierra never let their opponents score on Tuesday. They claimed a resounding 42-0 victory over the Mountain House Mustangs. The high-scoring effort was just what the Timberwolves needed considering they were shut out in their previous match.
Sierra's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Tessa Zalunardo led the charge by rushing for 57 yards and two TDs on only seven carries, while also throwing for 103 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
