Mission had to start their season on the road on Wednesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They took a blow against the Burton Pumas, falling 47-14. The Bears lost against the Pumas in their previous head to head back in October of 2024, too, but the margin this time around was even wider than the 2-0 score last time.
Burton's receiving core played a big role in the win, headlined by Angel Laleh Wysinger and Paris Malicdem. Wysinger gained 31 total yards and two touchdowns while Malicdem rushed for 23 yards and two touchdowns. Malicdem didn't just play on offense: she also made three total tackles and defended one pass in addition to snagging an interception. Madonna Becerra got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
Burton's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-3.
We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Mission is set to face off against their familiar foe Immaculate Conception at 4:00 p.m. on the 29th. Meanwhile, Burton will take on rival Balboa at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday.
