On Saturday May 10 at 4pm, the Manchester Freedom welcomed the Holyoke Hurricanes to West Field in Manchester, NH.  The Hurricanes had two losses and one win under their belt as they traveled to our great city.  As a new team this year to the IWFL, their enthusiasm, heart, and will to succeed is a force to be reckoned with.  The Freedom understand the goals set for them as well, and aim to achieve them all this season, as they "take one game at a time".

With that said, the Freedom stepped on the field and from the very start, executed with the precision that has commanded respect, rightfully earned over time, scoring on the first series of the game.  The offense scored on each drive they pursued and the defense allowed only one first down the entire game.  The game posted a 68-0 win over the Hurricanes.

Next game for the Freedom will be against the New England Intensity, who gave the Freedom a loss in 2007.  Kick-off is at 4pm at West Field in Manchester, NH.  We hope to see you there!

Saturday, May 3rd at 630pm, the Freedom played their second game of the 2008 season against the Southern Maine Rebels at Memorial Field in Portland Maine.  The Rebels had a recent loss against the Holyoke Hurricanes losing 38-30, just as we have against the Montreal Blitz (14-12), so both teams were hungry for a win as they battled on the gridiron.  

The Freedom, however, proved to be victorious in their battle, winning 70-8.  Scoring for the Manchester Freedom were Joy Burge, Katia Pashkevitch, Laurie Petchar, and Christine Halloran.  The Freedom's hard working offensive line and tenacious defense were very strong in this game as this victory was a team effort entirely.
