It\u2019s coming down to the wire for the Seattle Majestics.<\/p>\n
The women\u2019s tackle-football team may be undefeated (5-0) so far, but under the Independent Women\u2019s Football League\u2019s rating system, the Kent-based program is sitting fourth in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n
And sure, that\u2019s good enough to ensure a berth for playoffs this summer, but if the Majestics want to bring some of that post-season action to Kent, they\u2019re going to need a win. A big win. (A loss by top-ranked Los Angeles to Sacramento on June 13 wouldn\u2019t hurt matters, either.)<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to be ranked at one or two,\u201d said Camille Head, a co-owner of the team, who also plays wide receiver and defensive back.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why this Saturday the Majestics will be playing for keeps at Kent\u2019s French Field, against the Portland Shock Wave. If they can clinch this game (they\u2019ve beaten them three times now) it will bring the Majestics one step closer to giving Kent its first IWFL play-off game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe still have two games to play, and we\u2019ll see what comes out of it,\u201d Head said, noting that after Portland on Saturday, they\u2019ll play their last, regular-season match June 13 at Tucson versus the Monsoon.<\/p>\n
It all comes down to two games and a hoped-for stumble by LA.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see what comes out of it,\u201d Head said.<\/p>\n
And, she added, of the attraction for area folks, the weather is supposed to be great, and the league, which isn\u2019t about salaries or endorsements, is about athletes playing hard for the love of the sport.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course we play harder,\u201d Head said, when asked if the Majestics play as hard as the guys. \u201cWe play with more heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kick off is 7 p.m. at French Field.<\/p>\n
