Sioux Falls Stampede News Release


Sioux Falls, SD - After a thrilling and historic 3-2 victory in quadruple overtime last night over Sioux City, the Stampede have had advanced to the Western Conference Semi-Finals where they will face the Waterloo Black Hawks in a best-of-five series beginning tomorrow (Friday) in Waterloo.

Sioux Falls swept the Musketeers in a best-of-three series, 2-0, with the win last night.
