This Week in the UIF: It's the "in-between" week for United Indoor Football. United Bowl III is in the books and the Casey's All-Star Classic is 10 days away. It will seem odd not having UIF games taking place this week. The Sioux Falls Storm captured its third consecutive United Bowl, defeating the Lexington Horsemen 62-59 at the Sioux Falls Arena. Storm wide receiver Casey Veenhof was named UB III Most Valuable Player as he hauled in seven catches for 74 yards with two fourth quarter touchdowns including the game-winner with 0:08 to go.
