Colorado Crush News Release
Loveland, CO - The Colorado Ice started fast with a one play touchdown which snowballed to matching touchdowns throughout the first half of play. Ice quarterback Sherard Ellis (15) threw to three receivers and ran the ball in for a touchdown towards the end of the first half.
