Football The D.C. Divas advanced to the IWFL World Championship in Round with a 27-21 come-from-behind win over the Boston Militia. The Divas were down 14-0 entering the second quarter until running back Okiima Pickett blasted in from seven yards out to bring the Divas to within 14-7. Quarterback Allyson Hamlin then connected with wide receiver Tara Stephenson on a 16-yard strike to make it 14-13. The extra point conversion was blocked, and the Militia took a one point lead in to the half. Boston maintained that lead until the fourth quarter when Hamlin hit Stephenson on a 19-yard leaping catch to put the Divas up 19-14. Boston denied the Divas’ two-point rushing attempt. The five-point lead held until Boston quarterback Allison Cahill scrambled 38 yards down the home sideline to put the Militia up 21-14 with just under a minute to play in the game. On the ensuing kickoff Tara Stephenson caught the line drive kick and took it 85 yards for a touchdown. She capped it off with a two-point conversion for a 27-21 lead. The Militia had two attempts to score on their final possession, but linebacker Trigger McNair registered a hard sack, and defensive back Kathryn Hemlock sealed the victory with an interception. The Divas improved their record to 10-0 and will play in the IWFL major league World Championship game on July 25th in Austin, Texas.
