Playing on the road is tough in any league, and the Southern Indoor Football League is proving no different in 2010 with the home team a perfect 10-0 on the season.
The Lafayette Wildcatters (0-3) are hoping to continue this trend as they take on defending SIFL Champion Louisiana Swashbucklers (2-2) at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Cajundome.
Even though the season is only one-third complete, this game takes on added significance for both teams. The Wildcatters desperately need a win, and the Swashbucklers have played all five SIFL Championship games in Lake Charles.
With the Albany Panthers (3-0) and Columbus Lions (3-1) threatening to run away with the top two positions in the standings, a home-field playoff game may be out of the question for the rest of the league.
Adding even more intrigue to this game is the presence of two former UL players who want to make their homecoming a winning one.
Wide receiver Marcus Wildridge leads the Swashbucklers in receiving at 106.5 yards per game and Raymond Harris leads the league in all purpose yards at 178.5 per game.
