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.
