Saskatoon Valkyries 40-7 victory over Edmonton marks sixth consecutive title

Saskatoon Valkyries held on to their Western Women’s Canadian Football League (WWCFL) championship title on Saturday with a 40-7 win against Edmonton Arctic Pride in Saskatoon at SMF Field.

Both Saskatoon and Edmonton entered the championship game with identical 5-0 records on the season, and the victory marks the sixth-consecutive title for the team and its 11 WWCFL title overall.

It was also the first time since 2023 that Saskatoon had the chance to bring home the title on their home field.

Saturday’s game was a rematch of last year’s WWCFL championship game, which saw the Valkyries steal a 28-0 shutout victory on the road at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton.

Saskatoon advanced to the championship game with a hard-fought 17-7 victory over the Manitoba Fearless in the Prairie Conference title game last weekend, which included a key defensive touchdown from Grace Farthing.

Saskatoon had an undefeated streak of 44 straight victories dating back to 2018 going into the game.
