The Chicago Force's playoff future was on the line June 13 when the team played host to archrival the Detroit Demolition at the Holmgren Athletic Complex on the campus of North Park University. More importantly, the Force left no doubt whatsoever that they want a shot at returning to the Independent Women's Football League ( IWFL ) Championship.
The Force crushed the Demolition 26-6 in a game they never trailed, and clearly dominated and controlled.
"It was awesome," said Jamie Menzyk, who scored two touchdowns and was named the Spin Nightclub Offensive Player Of The Game for her efforts. "I had great blocking from the offensive line and the receivers."
Menzyk scored her first touchdown seven minutes into the game, and her second with 13:44 left in the fourth quarter.
Chicago's Sami Grisafe also scored a pair of touchdowns, rushing in from five yards out in the third quarter and with a 37-yard run with 7:48 remaining in the game.
The Force will play its first-round playoff game against Seattle June 27 in Washington state.
