NEW LONDON, Conn. (March 28, 2003) - The Mohegan Wolves (arenafootball2) looked sharp today in their first taste of game action against the Albany Conquest in a scrimmage at the Connecticut Sportsplex in North Branford.

Although no score was kept in the contest, the Wolves clearly looked like an improved team. They more than held their own against their adversaries from Albany, a team that last year posted a 13-3 record and were Northeast Division Champions.

The scrimmage was held during the final 45 minutes of a 2 ½-hour long practice session that included the two squads going head-to-head in a number of offensive and defensive drills.

"I thought we looked real solid today," Stoute said. "I was pleased with everyone's intensity and focus. I know I have some tough choices to make now on who to keep because in all honesty, they're all good football players.

Despite the effort of all 28 players on Mohegan's current roster, only 21 will be with the team on Monday.

In 2002, the Wolves dropped all three head-to-head meetings with Albany en route to a 3-13 inaugural campaign. This year Mohegan will battle the Conquest three times as well. Their first meeting will be on Friday, April 18 at the Mohegan Sun Arena.

The Wolves 2003 season kicks off on Sat., April 5, vs. the Rochester Brigade at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Every fan through the doors that night will receive a FREE Mohegan Wolves magnet schedule courtesy of the Wolves and game sponsors, AAA, 103.7 FNX Radio and The Day.
