Despite fighting the good fight, the Tribe came up short against the three time National Champion Dallas Diamonds.  Dallas scored their first TD in this first quarter after capitalizing on a bad punt snap inside the 25 yard line.  Dallas added another TD midway through the second quarter to go up 14-0.  KC responded after half with an 86 yard Interception for a Touchdown by Angela Mabrie.  Dallas added another 7 point in the third quarter, to make the score 21-7.

The Tribe again rallied back with a full field drive ending with a TD pass from Jenny Schmidt to Rusty Sowers, the PAT was partially blocked, making the game 21-13.  Dallas added a final score near the end of the game to make it 28-13.

The Tribe played Dallas far better than any team all year, and made a vast improvement over their Game 1 loss to the Diamonds.

Over 400 fans were on hand to watch the Kansas City Tribe (1-1) defeat the Iowa Crush (0-2) 19-6 on April 19th at Bishop Miege High School. Everyone enjoyed the Backyard Burgers and the new Chico Thunder TD Pack Band, which will be playing at all the home games.

The Tribe scored their first TD of the season in the first quarter off an eight yard run by 32, fullback Lindsay Davis. KC's new quarterback, 23 Jenny Schmidt, added a TD in the second quarter with a two yard sneak, which was set up by a 47 yard pass play to 20 Rusty Sowers.

Iowa answered with a 20 yard TD pass in the second quarter, to go in to the half with a score of 13-6. Schmidt added the exclamation point in the victory with a seven yard TD pass to 3 Tiffany Schweigert, after a botched field goal attempt.

The Tribe defense had two interceptions, one by defensive back, 11 Angela Mabrie, and the second by middle linebacker, 44 Layne Anonsen, who also led the team in tackles, with 10.

After a bye week, the Tribe returns to action on May 3rd. Come out and join the fun May 17th, when the Tribe returns to Kansas City to take on the defending National Champions, the Detroit Demolition.
