Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Burton). They blew past the Immaculate Conception Spartans 33-7 on Friday. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Pumas considering their two-point performance the matchup before.
Burton was led to victory by Khrisla Abuan and Richelle Hammon. Abuan threw for 118 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.9% of her passes, while Hammon rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave Hammon a new career-high in rushing yards. Promise Nelson made the highlight reel by snagging an interception and taking it all the way to the house.
Burton didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off six passes before the game was over. Nelson led the group effort, picking up three of those interceptions all by herself.
The win (which was Burton's third in a row) raised their record to 5-3.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Burton will play host again on Saturday to welcome Washington, where kickoff is scheduled at 12:00 p.m. Burton's defense has only allowed 10.4 points per game this season, so Washington's offense will have their work cut out for them. As for Immaculate Conception, they will welcome Lowell at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. Lowell will roll in looking for their seventh straight victory, something Immaculate Conception surely won't give up without a fight.
