The Central Valley Coyotes will travel to Spokane to take on the Shock in the National Conference semifinals of the arenafootball2 playoffs on Saturday at the Arena.

The fifth-seeded Coyotes scored an upset on Sunday when they upended Chris Siegfried and the host Arkansas Twisters 68-55. Siegried coached Spokane to an ArenaCup championship in 2006.

The Coyotes (11-6), a familiar opponent for the Shock (16-1), finished second behind Spokane this season in the Western Division standings. The teams met twice in the regular season with the Shock scoring two-point victories in both games.

Spokane beat CV 42-40 on April 26th in Fresno, Calif., and kicker Brian Jackson nailed a 34-yard field goal as time expired in Spokane’s 56-54 victory over Central Valley at the Arena on June 28 – a win that earned Spokane the Western Division title.

Tickets for Saturday’s game go on sale Monday at noon through TicketsWest.
