On the first drive of the game, the Revolution offense had the opportunity to score on a 4th and goal attempt, but was unable to convert it into points. The Colorado Ice answered by rattling off 17 unanswered points.
The Revolution just did not to be able to find an answer for the Rushing attack of Colorado led by Dennis Kennedy (117 yards and 4 TDs). Kennedy also was able to add on 120 return yards on the night. His ability to move the football tonight was something that the Revolution defense just couldn't put a stop to.
