After a truly spectacular performance at home defeating the Iowa Phoenix, the undefeated Vixen head out on the road chasing their perfect season. This week’s foe? The also undefeated St. Louis Slam. This week’s battle between the two goliaths of the Women’s Football Alliance Division II American Conference opponents has major playoff implications for both teams. The Slam have been steamrolling opponents since their return to play after a year’s hiatus. With impressive wins over the Kansas City Titans, the Derby City Dynamite, and the Iowa Phoenix. Averaging nearly 39 points per game through week 11, the Slam boast the number two offense in all of the WFA’s Division II. Scoring and gaining yards seems to be all the Slam seems to do and the Vixen defense, while being stellar this year, are going to have their hands full. Coming off three impressive shut outs in consecutive weeks, the Vixen defense is riding high and looks to continue their success at what Vixen defensive coordinator RJ Speidel calls a “technically sound” St. Louis team. Coach Speidel knows this will be his defense’s hardest battle to date, but believes the Vixen will “slow the Slam’s roll and hopefully lead to a sixth victory”. Veteran Vixen defensive lineman and Hall of Fame player, Cynthia “Red” Bryant says the game is going to come down to who plays better on the line of scrimmage. “It will take another fantastic team effort to come away with a win,” says Vixen quarterbacks coach Shaun Mattson. The Vixen offense has been working extremely hard to continue to move the ball down the field. In their barnburner against the Iowa Phoenix, the Vixen showed they can do it well. “With all the possible respect to the Iowa Phoenix,” says Vixen wide receiver coach Jake Potter, “the Slam is a different team. We are going to need a near herculean effort out of each of our players to pull off a win in St. Louis.” So, will the staunch Slam steamroll through Minnesota or will the voracious Vixen vex St. Louis? There is only one way to find out, and that is to play the game this Saturday in St. Louis. “These types of games are the reason you play football,” say the optimistic Vixen head coach Ryan McCauley. He has done a good job of making sure his Vixen look at this week’s game as just another game, but he fully understands that the winner of this game controls home field advantage through the WFA DII playoffs. The Vixen are set to play the Slam this Saturday at 7PM local time at St. Mary’s High School in St. Louis, Missouri.
