San Marcos flag football took care of business with a 36-6 rout of Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks on Thursday at Warkentin Stadium in Santa Barbara.
The Royals opened the scoring in the first on a 15-yard passing touchdown from Victoria Aldana to Bella Bazylewicz, with the duo also converting on the two-point attempt.
Later in the first, Piper Kittle came up with a 57-yard pick-six for the Royals to extend the lead to 14-0 heading into the second.
San Marcos continued to pull away with another 15-yard passing score from Aldana to Kittle, and Kittle scored the extra point to make it 21-0.
The Royals’ defense continued to dominate the opening half as Jaylee Perez got into the backfield for a safety to bring the advantage to 23-0 at halftime.
The third quarter was more of the same, as the San Marcos defense maintained the shutout and Aldana found Bazylewicz for a 15-yard score. Perez’s extra-point reception expanded the lead to 30-0.
Notre Dame got on the board with a quarterback keeper, but Bazylewicz put the cherry on top of the victory with a 38-yard rushing touchdown to bring the game to its final score of 36-6.
Norah Leonardi was on fire on the defensive end, accumulating five sacks. Meanwhile, Kittle had two interceptions and Marilyn Monroy tallied one interception and one sack.
Aldana completed 15-of-23 pass attempts for 138 yards and a trio of touchdowns.
