SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Unfortunately for the Green Bay Blizzard, its 2012 season picked up right where the 2011 season left off.
The Blizzard was hoping to avenge a 52-12 loss to the Sioux Falls Storm in the United Conference championship game last July in its Indoor Football League season opener on Sunday.
But the Storm blew the game open in the second quarter en route to a 73-43 victory.
The Blizzard trailed only 17-10 when the first quarter ended after an Adrian Trevino field goal and a 28-yard touchdown catch by Bryan Pray.
But the momentum shifted early in the second quarter when Trevino missed a 30-yard field-goal attempt.
The Storm scored on its next three possessions to take a 38-10 lead.
The Blizzard had trouble containing 2011 league MVP Chris Dixon. The Storm quarterback completed 19 of his 20 passes for 268 yards, five touchdowns and no turnovers.
The Blizzard stays on the road to face Reading at 6 p.m. Friday.
