The Madison Cougars advance to the second round of playoffs this Saturday July 14 facing off against the Portland, Oregon Shockwave.

The Cougars will need to win this game in order to advance to the Midwest Division IWFL Bowl Series-Founders Bowl game in Round Rock, Texas, on July 28. This is the “Super Bowl” of Women’s Professional Football, very similar to the NFL. The winning team will receive a trophy and each player will receive commemorative Bowl Series ring. These women are making football history not only in Madison but also across the Midwest while blazing the trail to a very bright future in local women’s professional sports.

The Cougars finished the regular season 6-2, in second place in the Midwest division. As a second-place finisher, the Cougars qualified for the playoffs, where they are competing against Tier II teams from other divisions across the country. The Cougars beat the Iowa crush in the first round playoff game 32-0 making their current record 7-2.

This last home game of the season hosted in Madison is one not to miss!
