THE CHICAGO FORCE, THE ONLY TEAM TO BEAT THE FUSION THIS YEAR WON THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN SAN DIEGO ON AUGUST 3 BY BEATING THE DALLAS DIAMONDS 81-20. The next day CLEVELAND FUSION ALL-AMERICANS playing in the ALL-AMERICAN GAME DID OUR TEAM AND CITY PROUD.
They received compliments from many players and coaches from around the league, including the league owner. ANGELA MASON had 3 INT, one for a 95 yard TD, MARIA JACKSON had three great catches one for a TD, WRECKING BALL RUCKER played D-End and created havoc, while also playing LB, LEANN McKEE had a big tackle for a loss, busted her face open and still played when she was needed even though she had to get stitches, and finally BETH DILLOW was doing her regular leading the O-line, paying D-line in crucial situations and was a captain of the team. The CLEVELAND FUSION IS DEFINITELY ON THE NATIONAL MAP. The National All-American team was coached by FUSION HEAD COACH ERIK KEISTER and was assisted by MARTINA LATESSA
