Colorado Crush News Release
Fort Collins, CO - The Colorado Ice of United Indoor Football (UIF) will host the Sioux Falls Storm for the first time Saturday at 7:05 p.m. at the Budweiser Events Center, 5290 Arena Circle, Loveland. The theme of the night will be "Cinco de Mayo" as the doors will open at 6 p.m.
This will be the first of three meetings this season between Colorado and Sioux Falls. Sioux Falls currently sits in first place while the Ice are in second place in the Western Conference. The Ice are looking to defend a 3-0 home record while the Storm are searching for their 26th consecutive victory. Colorado is looking to be the first team to break the Storm's streak, who own back-to-back UIF championships in 2005 and 2006. Colorado will host Sioux Falls again June 2 before the team travels to Sioux Falls June 30.
The Ice are coming off a victory over RiverCity last week, holding the Rage to a single touchdown in the fourth quarter. Colorado's running game was led by Eugene Reed who rushed for 83 yards and two touchdowns. Reed, who now has 387 yards on the season, has held the top spot on the rushing charts for the UIF since week one. Colorado's defense will be key to an Ice victory and defensive back Travis Garcia will be looking to add to his UIF-leading five interceptions.
Sioux Falls, who had a bye in week six, recorded their 25th straight victory since 2005 over Billings on April 21 in their home opener. Running back Marques Smith leads the league with 11 rushing touchdowns and is third in the UIF in rushing yards. Quarterback Terrance Bryant sits in third place for completion percentage and so far on the year, has 874 passing yards, 18 touchdowns and only three interceptions.
