Tribe's
Hard Luck Continues with 13-7 loss against Wisconsin
Wolves. |
|
After
rain delays postponed the start of the game, things
looked promising after Megan Penrod recovered the
opening kick-off from an onside kick by Amanda Sweeten.
However, the Tribe offense failed to capitalize
on the recovery. A botched punt snap led to the
Wolves starting their initial drive inside the 30
yard line, and resulted in a quick score. Wisconsin
added a second touchdown within a few minutes to
go ahead 13-0.
The Tribe defense responded by holding the Wolves
scoreless the final three quarters, however it was
simply too late. Although the Tribe offense came
to life after halftime, they couldn't quite get
over the early deficit.
Jenny Schmidt connected with Rusty Sowers for a
touchdown in the third quarter. After another defensive
stop allowed the offense to drive down the field.
A third down completion from Schmidt to Mindy White
and a 20 yard sweep by Megan Penrod put the team
inside the red zone. However, an offensive penalty
pushed the team back, and time simply ran out before
the team could finish a comeback.
The Tribe returns home for their final game agsinst
the Iowa Crush on June 14th against the division
rival, Iowa Crush. Kickoff is 6 p.m. at Bishop Miege
High School.

Tribe
Loses Tough Game to Division Leading Dallas Diamonds
13-28. |
|
Despite
fighting the good fight, the Tribe came up short
against the three time National Champion Dallas
Diamonds. Dallas scored their first TD in this
first quarter after capitalizing on a bad punt
snap inside the 25 yard line. Dallas added another
TD midway through the second quarter to go up
14-0. KC responded after half with an 86 yard
Interception for a Touchdown by Angela Mabrie.
Dallas added another 7 point in the third quarter,
to make the score 21-7.
The Tribe again rallied back with a full field
drive ending with a TD pass from Jenny Schmidt
to Rusty Sowers, the PAT was partially blocked,
making the game 21-13. Dallas added a final score
near the end of the game to make it 28-13.
The
Tribe played Dallas far better than any other
team this season, and made a vast improvement
from their season opening loss to the Diamonds.
The team travels to Madison, Wisconsin to play
the Wisconsin Wolves June 7 and then returns home
for their final game of the season on June 14
against the Iowa Crush.

Tribe
Loses to Defending National Champions
Detroit Demolition. |
|
Despite
early defensive stands, the Tribe offense and special
teams units were plagued by turnovers and the unrelenting
Demolition rush.
The defending National Champions were simply too
much for the young Tribe team to handle. The final
score was 38-0.
The Tribe has a bye over the holiday weekend, and
then plays another home game against the Dallas
Diamonds. The Tribe will attempt to avenge the season
opening loss to the Diamonds.
