DES MOINES, IA, April 10, 2009 - The Iowa Energy clinched their first division title in franchise history with a 114-104 home victory over rival Sioux Falls. With the win, Iowa will host a home playoff game Thursday. The Energy's opponent will be determined Sunday night, as D-League teams select their opponents for the playoffs. Iowa will be the number three seed in the eight team field.

A back and forth first quarter was followed by a big Energy run in the 2nd stanza. With the game tied at 47, the Energy scored 17 of the next 19 points to head into halftime with a commanding 64-49 lead.

Sioux Falls cut the lead to three early in the 4th quarter, but were not able to get any closer the rest of the game. The loss knocks Sioux Falls out of the playoff picture.
