Mohegan Wolves News Release


NEW LONDON, Conn. (July 23, 2003) – Now that the Mohegan Wolves (arenafootball2) know they're in the playoffs for the first time in team history, they have turned their focus towards getting home field advantage in the first round.

If the Wolves win at Albany this Saturday (July 26), they would finish the year at 11-5 and lock up the fourth seed in the American Conference. According to the af2 postseason format, the first seeded wildcard team (#4 seed overall) would host the second seeded wildcard team (#5 seed overall) in one of two first round matchups. If the Wolves do solidify the #4 seed, they would host their first round game on Monday, August 4 at Mohegan Sun Arena. The following details how the American Conference playoff race breaks down with one week remaining in the regular season:
