The Tier I Independent Women's Football League championship awaits the D.C. Divas Saturday night with the Divas needing only to win against the Kansas City Tribe at Round Rock, Texas to claim their prize.
The #1 ranked Divas come into the outing in suburban Austin as the sole remaining undefeated team at 10-0, advancing to the title game two weeks ago by means of a come from behind win at the Boston Militia. The second year Kansas City franchise scored a more dominating win over the Chicago Force to advance as Western conference champions.
Divas vs. Tribe should play out as a contrast in styles according to Divas coach Keith Howard in the Gazette with the Divas to attack in their usual run dominated game while the Tribe employ a no-huddle long passing offense. Howard expects the greater depth and experience of the Divas to be key factors in his team's favor.

A D.C. win would mark the team's first Independent Women's Football League title. The Divas had captured the title of the now-defunct National Women's Football Association in 2006 at a time when the previous league champion had already defected to the IWFL. The Divas did the same for 2007.
Start time for the IWFL Tier I championship contest is 8 p.m. EDT. DCDivas.com will air pre and postgame shows but the gamecast itself will be exclusive to pay-per-view on IWFLSports.com. Updates will be posted via Twitter throughout the evening.______________________Labels: d.c. divas, sports, women's football
