On a beautiful Friday night in Iowa City, the Bears stepped on the field for their first round playoff game against the #1 ranked Regina Regals.

The last time these two played? The very same field just the previous season, also in the playoffs. Coming into last year's game, the teams were ranked #1 and #2 and playing for a trip to the Dome. This season, the situation was a little different as the teams were playing each other in the opening round, just trying to move on to the second.
