The next Shock wave will wash up in Puerto Rico.

Spurred on by a sold-out crowd of 10,550 and two dramatic touchdowns by Jesse Hendrix, Spokane fought to a 48-30 win over the Arkansas Twisters at the Arena on Saturday night – sending the Shock to a date in ArenaCup 2006, the championship game of arenafootball2.

The Shock, winners of 16 of 18 games in their inaugural season and the National Conference champions, will meet the Green Bay Blizzard on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. PDT at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. Green Bay beat Florida 60-47 for the American Conference title.
