The Boston Banshees travel to the Twin Cities to face the Gemini at TCO Stadium during Round 4 of the 2026 WER Season!
The last meeting between these sides was a hard fought, 12-15 Boston Banshees victory during the final round of the 2025 regular season, which gave the Banshees the season sweep over the Gemini, and a 2-0 lead in the all-time head-to-head. That game was also played at TCO Stadium, so will this one be just as close?
As it turned out, no. The red hot Gemini raced out to secure the bonus point before the 20 minute mark that included a pair of early tries from Megan Ahnen, and ended up leading 31-3 at the break, with the Banshees only able to log a single penalty in the first 40. The visitors would attempt a comeback in the second half, scoring a pair of tries to claw back to 31-15, but this comeback attempt was quickly shut down by the Gemini, who added 3 tries of their only in the final 20 minutes including a third of the game by Ahnen, securing her hat trick on the final play.
The Gemini romp to a 50-15 home victory and continue their impressive start to the season, currently atop the WER standings. The Banshees fall to 1-3, and remain in 3rd.
