The Chicago Force showed no mercy Saturday on the Detroit Dark Angels, scoring seemingly at will in the season-opener, played at Lazier Field on the campus of Evanston Township High School.
The Force built a 46-0 lead at halftime and coasted to a 62-0 victory.
"It was a good game, a fun game," said Chicago running back Brandy Hatcher, named the Game Day MVP (Offensive), sponsored by Spin Nightclub.
Darcy Leslie grabbed Game Day MVP (Defensive) honors, though she also was an offensive superstar as she scored the Force's first three touchdowns on runs, including the first TD of the season on a 76-yar jaunt into the left corner of the end zone.
Quarterback Sami Grisafe connected with Ashley Berggren for TD passes of 13- and 49-yards.
Mary Choules scored a 3-yard touchdown to open the second half, which was followed minutes later by a safety by Elisha Okrey.
Hatcher scored the team's final touchdown, rushing in from 33 yards out.
"It was great seeing Darcy play both ways, offense and defense. She really is a workhorse. Same for Mary," Hatcher said.
The Force is next in action on Saturday, April 20, playing host to the Indy Crash. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m.
