Maryland Maniacs fall in season opener at West Michigan

The Maryland Maniacs opened their 2010 indoor football season on a sour note, upset 52-36 at the West Michigan ThunderHawks. Maryland swept West Michigan in all three meetings last season when the ThunderHawks were known as the Muskegon Thunder.

Following an early Thunderhawks score, the Maniacs took advantage of a blocked field goal to set up their first touchdown of 2010, scoring on a 2-yard Darryl Overton run. Two subsequent West Michigan touchdowns were answered by a Bryson Spinner QB keeper and an Overton to Roderick Bryant 5-yard touchdown pass respectively. With its conversion attempts missed though, Maryland was still down 21-18 at the break.

Maryland tied the game early in the third quarter on a Mike Jones field goal only for West Michigan to regain its lead off an 18-yard Buddy Rivera to Robert Height III touchdown pass. After Maryland’s next drive ended with an end zone interception, Height scored with a 21 yard run on the subsequent possession for a 35-21 West Michigan lead that would not be relinquished.

After this early open to regular season play, Maryland won’t see any further game action until March 20 at the expansion Richmond Revolution. The Maniacs’ first home contest will take place April 3 at a new venue to be announced.
