Dimond jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but West fought back to tie the score at the half. The second half remained scoreless until Jackson broke free for the winning touchdown.

Jessica Todd picked off a tipped pass to end West's final drive.

Kelsey Hall had a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs to give Dimond the early lead. Both scores were set up by long receptions by Keiahnna Engel. Engel had three catches for 116 yards and eight carries for 76 yards.

Hall completed 6 of 11 passes for 119 yards.

Emily Olsen pulled nine flags, including two for losses, and Todd had eight pulls, including one for a loss for the Lynx defense.

Tessla Rennie scored both of the touchdown for West, scoring on a 4-yard run and an 8-yard run. She also had a two-point conversion and finished with 164 yards rushing on 20 carries. Rennie also threw for 62 yards.

Krista Soderlund had 53 yards on nine carries for the eagles. Brianne Bohn and Iva Karody-Lister each had seven pulls on defense. Rennie also had five pulls.

Bartlett 22, Chugiak 0

A smothering defensive effort by Bartlett, led the Golden Bears past Chugiak.

The Golden Bears (13-3) advance to meet Dimond (15-1) for the championship today at 5 p.m. at Dimond.

The win may have been costly for Bartlett, however. Tiffani Pollard, who threw for a touchdown and caught a touchdown in the first half, went up for an interception later in the game and fell hard on her wrist. Pollard was taken to the hospital for X-rays to determine if her wrist was broken.

Pollard threw a touchdown pass to Trian Foilefuto to get Bartlett on the board. She then caught a touchdown from Yollie Alailefaleula. Alailefaleula also threw a touchdown pass to Destiny Little as the Golden Bears took a 20-0 lead into the half.

The only score in the second half was a safety recorded by Kayla Young.

Shayna Everett and Little each had interceptions in the game.

Bartlett has outscored its opponents 47-0 in the playoffs, having opened with a 25-0 win over East in the first round.
