Steelhawks Look to Even the Score with Bloomington

Bethlehem, PA: The Lehigh Valley Steelhawks are coming off a big home win in which the offense exploded for a franchise record 86 points and garnered two IFL Player of the Week awards (Offense and Special Teams). The Steelhawks will look to continue this offensive success this weekend as they travel to Bloomington to take on the Edge in the 2nd of the two matchups on the year. The team is trying to even the season series.

Steelhawks Face the Edge Saturday in Bloomington.

The Edge (3-1) had a bye week last week, so their last game was when they came to the Valley in the Steelhawks home opener. The Steelhawks defense will again have to be aware of QB Dusty Burk, who threw for 289 yds and 6 tds in the last meeting, and has 852 yds and 16 tds on the season. Defensively they are led by, Jeff Sobol (22 tackles, 4 sacks) and James Temple (25 tackles, 5 int).

The Steelhawks (2-2) continue to be tough defensively, leading the league with the fewest rush yards given up per game (32.3 yds). They are led by DB Marvin Johnson (33 tackles, 3 int). Offensively, IFL veteran QB Bryan Randall (IFL’s Reigning Offensive Player of the Week) helped to spark a scoring spree last week, throwing for 5 tds and running for 2 more. RB Ryan Leafey continues to lead the league in yards per carry (6.2 yds) and is always a threat out of the backfield.

Kickoff is slated for 7:35 p.m. (CST)this Saturday, March 24th. For those who wish to view the game online, please visit http://www.b2livetv.com and look up the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks under the “TEAMS” Section. Fans unable to watch the games live can purchase a season viewing pass.
