Sewell threw for two touchdowns and ran for another.

Josh Shene and BJ Hill Named Vidswap Special Teams Players of the Week
Each week the IFL selects three players, one from each phase of the game, offense, defense, and specials teams, whose play on the field stood out among the rest of the competition. Blizzard Kicker Josh Shene and Defensive Back BJ Hill were named Week 4 and 5 Special Teams Player of the Week.

Wichita Wild on March 12, as he would make 4-6 FG's and went 5-5 on extra points. Shene would convert kicks from 32, 35, 37, and 43 yards in the Blizzard's win over Wichita 55-41
B.J. Hill put on a stellar performance this weekend against the Bloomington Extreme ending their undefeated streak. B.J. would return two kickoffs for touchdowns with distances of 49 and 46 yards.
