LA JOLLA- As the Scorpions took the field under new
Head Coach, Ray Peterson Jr., they knew their season was all on the line.
Lose, and they are inched out by New York's Empire State Roar for the wildcard
slot. Win and the are in.
Not only did they win, they crushed the opposing New
Mexico Burn 70-7.
They came with a mission, and it didn’t hurt to
have No. 56 from the Chargers, Shawn Merriman, on the sideline rooting on
the team. San Diego football was in the house, as defensive end Crystal "Brolik"
Stokes even gave her tribute to Charger Steve Foley when she reached the
end zone after an interception scoop.
“These women are ready to fight” stated team
owner, Ann Bagala. “For the teams we are looking at for playoffs, they
are all solid; this season is going to be the best playoff football yet for
the WPFL,” added Bagala.
The Scorpions now have to wait for the outcome of the
New England Connecticut game this Saturday to find out if they will host
the game or be going to New England or Dallas for the first round on October
7th.
