Things went a little bit differently this week. Instead of one game, there were two with one at home and one away, and the DC Breeze lost to a team with a losing record. The only thing that was not different was another classic double overtime thriller with the New York Empire. In the spirit of doing things differently, so will be this week’s Stats Analysis piece. Instead of looking…
It was deja vu all over again for the DC Breeze on Sunday evening, in more ways than one. For the fifth time in the last seven head-to-head meetings, it came down to the wire against New York. And for the second night in a row, the Breeze led for the majority of the contest only to allow an opponent to come back and eventually take the lead. But compared…
This is it. The final regular season meeting with the 4-time defending division champs. The Breeze beat them 32-21 on Opening Day, then the Rush took care of business with authority May 13, 26-20 in Toronto. In fact, the last 5 contests between these two teams have gone to the home team, and the Breeze are fixing to keep that streak alive for at least one more game. Fan support is key! Please…
The DC Breeze lost a heartbreaker in Philadelphia last night, 22-21. It was the first loss to the Phoenix(2-6) since 2013, as the Breeze (5-3) have owned the rivalry with their closest neighbor for the past three seasons. Both offenses executed well, especially in the 2nd half where the D-lines couldn’t convert the few chances they had for breaks.
Here’s the live stream for this evening’s game in Philadelphia — 6:30pm start. You can also follow the action on Twitter @DCBGameday.
The DC Breeze have been fortunate in terms of scheduling this season. So far, the team has only had one game a week, with a single bye week taking place earlier in the year. They will face two teams in two days for the first time this weekend, an away game on Saturday and then home on Sunday. Escaping the weekend with a 2-0 record would be a huge boost…
The DC Breeze has announced the signing of Joe Freund to a contract for the remainder of the 2017 season.
It has now become an expectation for every DC Breeze and New York Empire game to be a close contest. On Saturday, the Breeze were swaying momentum their way until once again the Empire reeled the visitors back in just as they were beginning to pull away. In the final minutes, D.C. was able to put away their rivals for an important 28-25 victory. The win was the Breeze’s first road victory of…
Highlights from our May 27, 2017 game at New York Empire.
The DC Breeze pulled away in the final minutes to beat the New York Empire yesterday, 28-25. The Empire (2-4) went on a 5-1 run late in the 3rd quarter to overcome a 19-15 deficit and tie the game at 21, but the Breeze (5-2) found another level of effort from that point and would not give up another break in the game.
