Bloomington Extreme News Release


BLOOMINGTON, Ill - In what could be a sneak preview to this season's United Bowl IV, the Bloomington Extreme travels to Sioux Falls (S.D.) for its final regular-season United Indoor Football game Saturday at 7:05 p.m. at Sioux Falls Arena.

The Extreme, which clinched a share of the Eastern Conference title last week, will be looking to win the franchise's first outright championship in its short three-year history with a victory over the Storm.

Bloomington (7-6) also will be out to avenge a 50-37 loss in the first game of the season this year at U.S. Cellular Coliseum. The Extreme has already secured a home date in the UIF Eastern Conference championship game June 30 at 7:05 p.m. against the winner of the RiverCiy-Sioux City firs-round playoff game May 21.

Sioux Falls needs a victory over the Extreme to earn its fourth straight Western Conference title. The Storm, the three-time United Bowl defending champion, has a 10-3 record.

The two teams could meet again July 12 in United Bowl IV in Sioux Falls should they survive in their respective conference playoffs.

In the first meeting between the teams March 8 at U.S. Cellular Coliseum, the Extreme jumped to a 23-20 first quarter lead before falling behind, 34-23, by halftime. Running back Sean Treasure gained 69 yards on 21 carries and scored two touchdowns to lead the Storm.
