It was also the first time since 2023 that Saskatoon had the chance to bring home the title on their home field.
Saturday’s game was a rematch of last year’s WWCFL championship game, which saw the Valkyries steal a 28-0 shutout victory on the road at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton.
Saskatoon advanced to the championship game with a hard-fought 17-7 victory over the Manitoba Fearless in the Prairie Conference title game last weekend, which included a key defensive touchdown from Grace Farthing.
Saskatoon had an undefeated streak of 44 straight victories dating back to 2018 going into the game.
