After weeks of waiting without game activity, the Maryland Maniacs indoor football squad finally learned its opening playoff destination.
The Maniacs will travel to suburban St. Louis for the divisional final postseason game at the RiverCity Rage, this Saturday at 8:30 p.m. EDT. As already earlier rehashed, unspecified arena conflicts prevent Maryland from playing any postseason games at its regular season Show Place Arena home.
The Rage scored an upset (in seed) just this past Monday night, defeating the Rochester Raiders, 45-42 to gain entry into the IFL postseason's second round. RiverCity had also defeated Maryland in the Maniacs' franchise/home opener before Maryland went on its eventual ten game winning streak. Maryland's regular season division win granted it automatic entry into the second round.
Despite the opening loss, Maryland finished two games ahead of RiverCity in the divisional standings. However, whether the Maniacs are truly a better team is still in dispute as the league's unbalanced scheduling played to the Maniacs' advantage. Saturday's game will be Maryland's best (and potentially last) chance to prove its divisional supremacy.______________________Labels: indoor football, maryland maniacs, sports
