Spokane Empire still alive in IFL playoff chase

The race for the second and final playoff berth in the Intense Conference will come down to the last week of the Indoor Football League regular season.

Spokane, which lost to Iowa 58-28 on Friday, remained in contention when Nebraska lost to Sioux Falls 41-38 on Saturday.

The only way Spokane (8-7) can reach the playoffs is by winning a road game against Salt Lake (4-11) on Friday and Nebraska (8-7) loses to visiting Wichita Falls (12-3) on Saturday.

Arizona will entertain Spokane or Nebraska in the Intense Conference title game on Saturday, June 24.
