THE STAKES:

Chicago has put itself back in the XSL championship race with victories over front-runners Detroit and Milwaukee last weekend. Another sweep of those teams this weekend - this time at home - would put them as close as 1.5 games out of first. Milwaukee hasn't been able to put together the streak that will provide some separation from the pack, and looks to avoid a two-game losing streak.

SAY WHAT?

"Last weekend's game was a great game an entertaining game, and it could have gone either way. I know from Keith Tozer's standpoint, from my time with him, he tells his team 'we don't lose two in a row,' so I know they'll be prepared." - Storm head coach Steve Morris.
