FORT COLLINS, CO - The Colorado ICE (5-7) face the Pacific Division leading Billings Outlaws (11-1) this Saturday, June 20th at 7:00 pm (MTN Time) at the Rimrock Auto Arena in Billings, Montana. This is the second meeting between the heated rivals, the first occurring on March 28th with the ICE losing in a down-to-the-wire 46-41 contest.

The Outlaws have only one loss this year and feature a high-scoring offense led by the three-time IFL player of the week, QB Chris Dixon, who has 60 passing TDs and 10 rushing scores. The ICE have been plagued by player injuries all year, but still feature a talented offense led by RB Eugene Reed, WR Josh Gibson, and ICE newcomer RB Maurice Cantrell.
"We have got a tough couple of games ahead of us," stated ICE head coach Collins Sanders. "The Outlaws are a talented team and we have had some great battles with them over the past few years. Saturday's contest will be good preparation for the talent we will face in the playoffs."
