Wasilla senior quarterback Savannah Kroon threw for three touchdown passes, and had another score on the ground Friday. Kroon had touchdown passes of 17, 59 and 20 yards. She added a 24-yard touchdown run. Wasilla had another touchdown run, a 4-yarder, in the third quarter. The Warriors had built a 22-0 lead before the Lynx found the end zone.
The Warriors also scored a 48-6 win over Service Saturday.
Wasilla is now 13-1 over and 9-1 in conference play. Dimond is 11-3.
The Warriors also extended their winning streak to eight games. Wasilla has scored at least 40 points per game during that stretch.
