Who: Green Bay Blizzard @ Chicago Slaughter

 

When: Saturday May 22^nd – 7:05pm

 

Where: Sears Center – Hoffman Estates, IL

 

Blizzard Update: The Blizzard will look for redemption this weekend as they prepare for a rematch with Chicago. The Slaughter started the scoring with a touchdown pass from Randy Hutchinson to De’Cody Fagg. The Slaughter would take a 24-17 lead into halftime. Green Bay would get back their momentum to start the second half with Blizzard Kicker Tino Amancio blasting a 51-yard field goal between the uprights. The game would ultimately come down to last second heroics, something Green Bay and their Quarterback Jake Phillips would have seemed to trademark as of late. However, it would be Chicago writing the fairytale ending in this classic. Green Bay had tied the game in the fourth quarter with a Tino Amancio field goal with 1:35 left on the clock. Hutchinson would drive the Slaughter down the field and Chicago kicker Chris Nednick drilled 25 yard strike between the uprights for the 46-43 with time expiring for Chicago’s upset.

The magic number for the Blizzard is to win two more games, which would give them and outstanding record at 9-5. Even if Bloomington wins all their remaining games, the Blizzard will have the tie breaker over them via margin of victory. With two games left against Chicago, one win is critical. One win against Chicago will give them 6 loses, and one more than the Blizzard.
