Fusion opens football season with a pair of wins

by Anthony Glassman

Louisville, Ky.--The Cleveland Fusion women?s football team started out their second season in the Women?s Football Association with a duo of victories on the road.

In the first week of the season, the Fusion handed the Toledo Reign an 18-7 defeat despite the lack of home-field advantage. The April 10 game was an auspicious beginning for the season.

The following Saturday, they continued their winning ways with a 54-6 rout of the Kentucky Karma, giving them a powerful head of steam going into their April 24 home opener against the Pittsburgh Force at Byers Field, 7600 Day Drive in Parma.

Team owner Barb Soggs is understandably pleased with the Fusion?s record so far this season.

?I think the ladies did a tremendous job,? she said. ?We?re very excited about having a successful season. We think we can make it to the playoffs this year and the ladies were very enthused with the last two victories.?
