Passion dominate Breeze, 48-0

The Philadelphia Passion proved last season's trip to the Lingerie Bowl was no fluke as they dominated the Tampa Breeze, 48-0, in their season opener.

The Philadelphia Passion proved last season's trip to the Lingerie Bowl was no fluke as they dominated the Tampa Breeze, 48-0, in their season opener.

Behind a 103-yard, five touchdown performance from running back Marirose Roach, the Passion never gave the Breeze a chance. Roach scored 1:47 into the game to give the Passion the early lead.

She would score three more times in the half, one of which was set up by a Jaleesa McCray interception, to give the passion a 26-0 halftime lead.

The second half saw much of the same, as Roach opened the half with another touchdown run. The Passion added two more late scores, one an 18-yard pass from quarterback Christy Bell to Stephanie Orgi, and the other on a 10-yard run from Jenny Butler.

The Breeze, who had four starters suspended, have now lost four straight to the Passion, who will take on the Cleveland Crush in their next game on October 29th.
