QUOTABLE

"Minnesota are...one of the top teams for a reason. I have the utmost respect for what the coaches have done there. They have great players, regardless of who they put out there its going to be a very strong lineup. They have guys who like to play and they like to get numbers forward. They do leave themselves exposed, but they do have the ability to hold possession. You have to be organized and catch them on the counter (attack)." -Scorpions Head Coach Alen Marcina

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Saturday evening and the game will be broadcast locally in the San Antonio area on KSAT 12.2 MeTV and streamed online via on ESPN3.
