Raider Princess knock off RGK Lily in 124-93 rout

Raider Princess rose to the occasion, cruising to a 124-93 win over RGK Lily, who fell short of projections. RGK Lily nabbed a 49-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding showings from Drew Brees (27 points) and the Dallas Cowboys defense (11). But it was all Raider Princess after that. They were led by Saquon Barkley (101 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 41 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Ben Roethlisberger (462 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 18 Rush Yds). This marks the first time this season Raider Princess have knocked off RGK Lily, after falling 130-118 in their last matchup. Raider Princess (6-6) will look to add to their success against Blue Crush, while RGK Lily (6-6) will face Rebels in an effort to develop some positive momentum.
