Varsity Girls Flag Football Wins Triple OT Thriller

SAN FRANCISCO - A classic contest came down to a two-point conversation try and the Crusaders got the stop to secure the victory.

Freshman quarterback Satiarah Galuega connected with junior Kaylin Boman for two touchdowns in overtime and followed the second touchdown pass with a good two-point conversation pass to Kaylin's sister Malea Boman, then the Crusader defense held off Hillsdale's two-point attempt to tie the game in the third overtime, as the Archbishop Riordan defeated Hillsdale 27-25 in non-league varsity girls flag football action at Mayer Family Field on Saturday.

The Crusaders trailed 13-6 at half time and got even at 13-13 early in the fourth quarter when Galuega connected with Katelyn Tzang on a long touchdown pass and then Galuega flipped a short pass to Tupou for the Point After Try.

The Crusaders are 5-2 overall and will return to West Bay Athletic League play this Wednesday when they play at Sacred Heart Prep at 4 pm.
