The Slaughter is coming off a bye week, but the week prior lost to the Omaha Beef, 48-29.

Shatone Powers led the team with 75 yards receiving, while Daniel DuFrene rushed 13 times in the game. On the defensive side, Lenny Radtke led the team with seven tackles.

"It's always fun to go out of division and play top teams," said Storm Owner, Todd Tryon. "We've never played at Chicago. This is a game we've had circled, and we're excited to go compete against some big city talent."

The Storm will continue their road trip next week against the Omaha Beef to close out the regular season. The Storm will return home June 25 for the second round of the IFL playoffs. For playoff ticket information, please visit www.siouxfallsstorm.com or call 605-274-6686.
