Boston scores five unanswered TDs to finish ST. Louis 35-7
CANTON OHIO — Boston’s offense had been stymied for most of the first half when the St. Louis Slam’s Jada Humphrey opened the scoring on a 51-yard scamper in the second quarter. But that would be the only time St. Louis would score as Boston’s defense tightened up behind an MVP-winning performance by Defensive End Whitney Zelee. And the Renegades offense would respond with five unanswered touchdowns to claim their fifth consecutive WFA Pro National Championship title.
