The New Mexico Banitas, Las Cruces’ women’s tackle football team, won their first-round playoff game Saturday, June 24, at Cloudcroft High School’s Bear Stadium, where the Banitas played this season. They defeated the Rocky Mountain ThunderKatz 22-0 to win the Pacific Region of the Women’s Football Alliance (WFA) Division 3 playoffs. The Banitas’ defense “continues to be one of the best in the division with another shutout performance,” said Banitas Coach Jamar Cotton.
