Iowa Barnstormers News Release


DES MOINES - The Iowa Barnstormers dropped to 1-4 on the season Saturday, May 10 after a late rally fell short in a 62-57 loss to the Tulsa Oilers on the road.

Iowa started out its scoring with a James Cahoon touchdown pass to Keshaun Taylor in the back of the end zone to trim the deficit to 13-7.

On the ensuing drive, Jared Saad picked up an interception to give the Barnstormers the ball back.

Cahoon found Jalen Bracey, who dodged a tackler on his way to the score to give Iowa a 14-13 lead.

After a trio of touchdowns from Tulsa quarterback T.J. Edwards, Iowa trailed 32-17 at halftime.

Iowa had help in the second half from Quian Williams, who returned a kickoff back for a touchdown for a league-best second time this season.

Iowa trimmed its deficit to 62-57 with 46 seconds to go, but couldn't secure the onside kick to attempt a game-winning drive.

The Barnstormers will return home to Wells Fargo Arena on Saturday, May 17 with the Green Bay Blizzard coming to town. It's KIDS NIGHT.
