WER 2026 – RD 3: Boston Banshees v Denver Onyx

19 v 52

Report

The reigning champion Denver Onyx travel to Massachusetts to face the Boston Banshees at Veteran’s Memorial Stadium in Quincy during Rd 3 of the 2026 WER season!

The Denver Onyx hold a 2-0 series lead in this matchup after sweeping the 2025 series against the Boston Banshees, with the most recent meeting between these two teams being a 53-21 Onyx victory in Round 10 of last season. Both teams enter this game with even 1-1 records, with the Banshees coming off their first defeat of the season on the road in Chicago, while the Onyx recorded a strong win over the TC Gemini after stumbling out of the starting blocks with an opening weekend loss.

Unfortunately for the Banshees, the Onyx’s Round 1 loss appears to have been a blip, and despite a competitive first half, the score went from 14-19 to the Onyx at the break, to a 19-52 rout with Denver scoring 5 tries in the second half for 8 in total including a hat trick for Onyx hooker Joanna Kitlinski. This was helped in part by a red card to Boston’s Lauryn Carlton for a dangerous tackle. The Onyx improve to 2-1 while the Banshees mirror that record, falling to 1-2.
