The Lexington-Sioux Falls match-up is a battle between the two teams that have led the UIF standings all season. Both teams faced some adversity in their Semi-final games last weekend. Lexington saw themselves in a nearly 13-7 hole before dominating the 2nd quarter and never looking back. Sioux Falls came back from an 8-point deficit midway through the 3rd quarter. The Strom went on to score 20 points before Evansville answered with a touchdown with less that two minutes left in the game. United Bowl II will showcase Lexington's #1 rated offense (51.5 ppg) vs. Sioux Falls' #1 rated defense (25.6 ppg). Both Sioux Falls and Lexington will be playing for their franchises second indoor championship as Sioux Falls won the UIF title in 2005 and Lexington won the NIFL in 2004.
