Team USA dominates Austria in IFAF WWC

[superhornet]

Team USA kicked off the Women's World Championship this morning (Cali time) with a 63-0 blowout of Austria. There is no box score available yet, but it seems that three American QBs ran wild on the Austrian defense. In the article I saw (I wasn't about to fork over 9.90 euros for a PPV game on the Internet at 4 AM), no mention was made of Sacramento Siren HB/PR Julie Wicher-Shockley. This puts USA on top of Group A with two points. Next action for Austria is Tuesday vs. Finland. USA closes out pool play Thursday against Finland.

Canada opened Group B action with a 12-6 win over host Sweden, a huge underdog. Sweden faces Germany Tuesday, and then Canada takes on Germany on Thursday to finish pool play.

Group records will determine seeding for the classification games on Saturday: Fifth Place, Bronze Medal and Gold Medal games will be played all on Saturday.
