Bethlehem, PA: The Lehigh Valley Steelhawks welcome the Richmond Revolution to the Stabler Arena for their final home game of their inaugural season this Saturday at 7 p.m. The game marks the fourth time in 2011 the two teams will meet up. The Steelhawks hold the edge on the season, 2-1 but lost to the Rev's in their Home Opener back on March 19th in an Overtime thriller. The team is fresh off a 37-28 victory over the 8-4 Fairbanks Grizzlies last weekend.
The Revolution head to Pennsylvania coming off a win themselves last weekend, as they defeated the La Crosse Spartans 40-37. With a 2-9 record, Richmond sits a game behind the Steelhawks in the Atlantic Division. Look for Revolution Quarterback Monte Purvis to target Wide Receiver Scorpio Brown early and often in this contest as the pair have been hot of late. The Steelhawks will also have to account for the Richmond running game which is among the best in the IFL.
The Steelhawks got wins back to back for the first time in their short existence with an exhilarating finish last Sunday against the Fairbanks Grizzlies who were riding an eight game winning streak. New comers Andre Higgins (4 catches for 34 yards, 1 TD) and Roshawn Marshall (2 INT return for TD's) added the spark needed to raise some eyebrows league wide. In this contest, look for a heavy dose of Running backs Isaiah Grier and Ryan Leafey who have had plenty of success running against the Rev's this season.
"We need to keep the pedal to the metal and finish this season off the right way," stated Steelhawks Head Coach Rich Britt. "The pieces, and the plan are beginning to come together but we can not let up. Richmond has been extremely well of late and are looking for redemption against us so we will need to play another complete game from start to finish. "
Kickoff for the game is slated for 7 p.m., Saturday, May 28th with doors opening at 6 p.m. The game is the first annual Heroes Night, as any military personnel, police officers, and first responders will receive 50% off the regular ticket pricing for the game.
