Maine Mayhem recruits new talent, sets 2017 schedule
GORHAM — The Maine Mayhem, the state’s only women’s football team and a proud one at that, recently released their spring 2017 schedule, and members of the organization are looking forward to another successful season.
Mayhem fans will have just one early chance to watch them play at home – in their opening matchup, vs. the New York Knockout. That game is slated to kick off on Saturday, April 1, at 5 p.m. at Deering High School.
After that, the team will visit the New England Nightmare, the Montreal Blitz and the Connecticut Hawks. A couple of bye weeks sprinkled in the mix mean the Mayhem won’t play in Maine again until mid-May.
The Mayhem debut a batch of new recruits this spring, among them Audrey Grinnell of Scarborough. Grinnell is a rookie to the team and to football in general, but also an accomplished athlete: a Cheverus alum, she went on to play four years of Division I softball for the University of Connecticut.
Grinnell’s experiences as a college athlete, she says, cemented her love of team sports, and drove her to seek out a new challenge when her time on the diamond expired.
“I felt a void when it was over,” Grinnell says of her career as a Husky, “and missed not only the competitive nature of playing sports, but the family aspect of being part of a team as well.”
Maine Mayhem making a mark in women’s football league
For years, the women who played tackle football in Maine – from the Maine Freeze of a decade ago to the recently defunct Maine Rebels – often went an entire season without winning a game.
This year is different. The Maine Mayhem, a first-year team, will play during the Independent Women’s Football League championship weekend later this month in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“Everybody is so excited,” said Alicia Jeffords, a running back, linebacker, team captain and much more for the Mayhem. “Our chemistry and attitude is so amazing from prior years, when we couldn’t wait for the season to be over. I know part of that is due to winning. But we also want to be together. Nobody wants this to be over.”
The Mayhem will play the Knoxville (Tennessee) Lightning in the Affiliate Bowl on July 22. The game will decide the championship of the league’s Affiliate division, which consists of seven teams that are first-year clubs or small-market teams.
At its top level, the IWFL has 26 teams playing in four conferences. The championship weekend will include the title game for those teams on July 23 as well as an all-star game that will include five Mayhem players.
Did You Know Maine Has a Women’s Football Team? They are Heading to the Championships!
The Maine Mayhem had a great first season. They finished at the top of affiliate conference and will be playing in the 2016 IWFL Affiliate Championship Game.
The conference is in Charlotte, NC July 21st-24th. Playing in this game was a goal they wanted in their first year and they did it! They couldn’t have done it without your help. Friends, family and fans helped them be the best!
Now they need your help to get to Charlotte to play in the 2016 IWFL Affiliate Bowl. By the way, the IWFL is the Independent Women’s Football League.
