Evansville BlueCats News Release
The UIF South leading Evansville Bluecats (2-1) will take on their first UIF North opponent when the team travels to Omaha to play the Omaha Beef (1-1) this Saturday night, April 16th. Kickoff time is set for 7:05pm at the Omaha Civic Auditorium.
Last Friday night; Evansville suffered its first loss of the season when the team experienced a 62-51 set back against the Tupelo FireAnts. It was Tupelo's first win of the season.
Omaha enters the game with a 1-1 record and is coming off a close game against the UIF North leading Sioux City Bandits (3-0). The Bandits came into Omaha and beat the Beef last weekend 54-51 at the Omaha Civic Auditorium. Omaha is currently in third place in UIF North Division. Omaha's win and only other game so far this season was against the Sioux Falls Storm in Week One. The Beef defeated the Storm in that contest 55-31.
"Omaha is very sound and solid in what they do defensively. Their defense is led by their defensive front line. Murphy and Harris are two of their guys that really stood out on the videotape. Their offense is very dangerous and can score from anywhere on the football field. They're a well coached football team." said Bluecats Head Coach Ollie Guidry of the Omaha Beef.
