ROSSFORD, OH - In this game it was the Pittsburgh Passion as they
defeated the Spitfire 53-0. The Spitfire did play a good game, but the
Passion was the stronger team on the field. The defense played hard with
good performances by Denise Thompson and Amanda Thames. Mandie Robinson and
Thames each collected a sack in the game, with Robinson’s being for a ten
yard loss. Heather Inderrieden and Amy Wilkins also made some good plays on
defense. On special teams, Wilkins was the most active on kickoff returns
with four of them for a total of 45 yards. Inderrieden, Thompson and Jessie
Torda also had at least one kickoff return in the game. Joy Youster averaged
just over seventeen yards per punt, and had a quiet night on defense.
Offensively, Torda and Kentrah Smith had the most action carrying the ball.
Cathy Yungmann and Sue Nuesmeyer both tried to get a passing game going, but
the Passion defense was just too tough. The Spitfire put in a great effort,
especially since this was the last home game of the season.
Notes: The Spitfire have two more games left
in the season. They are on the road in Columbus and in Erie, PA. More
