RUSH ENDS REGULAR SEASON WITH DELAWARE

Roanoke (5-4), winner of three of its past four, is coming off a 19-0 loss at the West Virginia Lightning last Saturday. The game against Delaware (0-7) will count as two wins for the victor. The previous game between the two teams was canceled and could not be made up.

The Rush season was scheduled to end next Saturday with a game against the Carolina Stars. However, the Stars franchise folded a month ago and has forfeited the rest of its schedule. Because of the Carolina situation, the Rush will have a extra week to prepare for the playoffs starting on Nov.4.
