Scrimmage games are a must at this level. You get better by playing with good competition. This makes sense to me as a player and high school coach.
We do not really know the skill level of these teams, but we also know that males are faster and stronger and have more endurance, so the score does not surprise me.
I am totally in favor of keeping female and male teams restricted by gender at birth, but I have no problem with practice games such as this for development of advanced playing skills. Don’t make too much about this game being a mismatch. I frequently had my varsity forwards scrimmage against my JV Defense.

Now this was a mismatch.

Good explanation from someone who knows how it usually works. Thx.
“We do not really know the skill level of these teams . . .”
True, but from what I’ve read the boys team was better than the women’s team.
