Divas 2007 Championship run ends in Atlanta

Image Atlanta, GA--The D.C. Divas historic run at football immortality came to an unceremonious and dispiriting end Saturday night. On the road, in front of a hostile crowd, against the defending IWFL champion Atlanta Xplosion, the Divas fought valiantly to keep their dream of back-to-back world titles alive. In the end, despite a heroic late game rally, the Divas season culminated with a hard-fought, 28-18 playoff loss.

"This is a tremendous disappointment," said General Manager Rich Daniel. "We had another amazing season, that obviously ended too soon. Atlanta is the defending champions for a reason."

The game matched two of the elite teams of women's football: both the Divas and the Xplosion entered the first round, post-season game with perfect regular season records.

Donna scores 4th Quarter TD _by Dan Rosenstein
True to form the two evenly matched teams turned much of the first half into a rough-and-tumble defensive stalemate. With just 1:25 left in the second quarter, Divas running back Tiffany Matthews finally broke open the scoreless game with an electrifying, 32-yard touchdown run. Despite a failed two-point conversion attempt, D.C. led 6-0 at the half.

The rugged and tempestuous standoff continued until late in the third quarter. A roughing the center penalty against the Divas special teams unit helped to keep an Atlanta scoring drive alive. The controversial call provided the emotional catalyst for the Xplosion's dormant offense: Atlanta scored on three consecutive possessions to take a seemingly insurmountable 21-6 fourth quarter lead.  

While Atlanta continued to celebrate their third touchdown, the visitors from D.C. pulled off a brilliant display of razzle-dazzle.
