Sariah Williams Dazzles in Fairfield Win
Fairfield picked up their sixth consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Sariah Williams. Nobody could stop Williams as he picked up 95 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 60 yards.
Williams is probably looking forward to her next game, a home matchup against West Campus on Thursday. When Williams last faced the Warriors back in September, she rushed for 97 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 70 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

While Valley might've come up empty on Thursday, Deyonce Espinal wasn't going down without a fight. Espinal was unstoppable, picking up three sacks and making three total tackles. She was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 55 yards.
Valley now has a losing record at 6-7. Espinal will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when she faces off against Armijo on Tuesday.
