Saturday evening saw the Renegades defeat the Fredericksburg Lady Gunners 6-0. 
Jamie Craft got her side off to a flying start with the opening goal after eight minutes   The Renegades went on to notch three times before the interval with goals by Ashlee Pistorius, Lauren MacIver and Tori Huster.

In the second half, MacIver and Huster found the back of the net again to round out the 6-0 victory.

"Saturday was a very professional performance by the entire team," said Gallagher.  "Jamie set the ball rolling with a good early goal and front that point onwards, we were able to play with a very positive frame of mind."

The Renegades then traveled to Northern Virginia for their second game of the weekend and left with three precious W-League points after a 4-1 victory.

MT McDonnell settled the Renegades nerves with a goal either side of the interval.  MacIver then notched her third goal of an impressive weekend in the 75th minute, while Rachel Lim tallied her first goal of the season in the 77th minute of play.  The Majestics got a late consolation through Watson in the last minute of the game.

"On Sunday it was imperative that we picked up three points and again we approached the game with the right mentality," said Gallagher.  "MT scored at a very good time for us after a sluggish start to the game and I think that gave us the boost to go on and get a further three goals in the second half."

The Renegades will host the Fredericksburg Lady Gunners Saturday 14th June at Whitman Hanson High School with kick off slated for 4.30pm.  Saturdays game is part one of a double header contest with the MPS Cape Cod Crusaders who entertain the Rhode Island Stingrays at 7.00pm.
