IFL Sioux Falls Storm

Storm Seeks Revenge and Conference Lead

Sioux Falls Storm News Release


The Sioux Falls Storm (7-4) has had a string of games carrying major consequences. For five consecutive weeks, The Storm has faced one of the four top teams in the IFL. All of whom are now tied with the Storm for the most wins in the league. The crazy part is that every week seems to bring a bigger game. This week is no exception. It would be hard to script out a more meaningful game at this point in the season.

The Storm will welcome the Cedar Rapids Titans to the Arena on Saturday night for a 7:05 pm kickoff. Why is this game so important? There are two defining reasons. The first is revenge. Two weeks ago, on May 11th, The Storm suffered their third worst loss in franchise history to the Titans. A 52-18 Titans blowout. The Storm makes no excuses for their lack of execution in Cedar Rapids. They came out flat. On the other hand, the Storm players know they are better than that effort and they have been anxiously waiting for two weeks to prove it.

The second factor that makes this game pivotal is simple playoff positioning. The Storm and the Titans are tied atop the United Conference at 7-4. The new 2013 IFL playoff design only allows the top two teams in each conference into the playoffs. The winner of this game will be in a massively better position to earn a post-season berth.

"This is as big of regular season game as we've had in years," said Storm Owner, Todd Tryon. "We are looking forward to the opportunity of redeeming our loss to Cedar Rapids a couple weeks ago." The Sioux Falls Storm hosting the Cedar Rapids Titans, presented by Tryon Gym. Kickoff is set for 7:05 pm this Saturday night. Tickets are still available for this critical contest at the Sioux Falls Arena Box Office.
