Falcons Come Up Short in Iowa

FOREST CITY, Iowa (uwrfsports.com) -  After last weeks loss against the Royals, the Falcons came back full swing to fight the Waldorf College Warriors in Iowa. The Falcons fell short in th final seconds of the game.  The Warriors kicked a game-winning 31-yard field goal with three seconds left

"We knew we were going to be in a battle with a very talented football game and that was definitely the case today." said Head Coach Walker. I continue to be very proud of our guys for the level of effort and physicality we play with.  No one wants the results to be wins more than me and these players, but if we continue to prepare like this and play this hard, we are simply too talented for these results to not happen.  This group is still hungry and focused on our goals and you will see more fight from this crew than anyone has seen yet."
