NWFA Kickoff a Success

April 14, 2003 - National Women's Football Association (NWFA) News Release

The action was hot and heavy with some bone crushing tackles and some heart stopping catches and touchdowns. And, not only were there some tight games, there was one game, the Locomotion and Assault which went into overtime.

And, if that didn't have the fans in the stands getting hoarse from cheering, then the DOUBLE OVERTIME game between the KC Krunch and the St. Louis Slam did it. This hard fought battle was won by the Krunch. Not bad for a couple of newly established expansion teams!

For a complete list of scores from the NWFA's week 1, please go the "schedules" page at the league's website: wwww.womensfootballassociation.com.

This coming weekend games include some great match-ups with the arch rivals Baltimore Burn traveling across the beltway to play the DC Divas at the Divas home field. In another great rivalry, the Detroit Demolition travels to the SW Michigan Jags.
